day of the legislature I marked the taking tak-ing of the seventieth ballot for a United States senator Two years ago yesterday yester-day on the fiftythird joint ballot taken on the twentyfourth day of that legislative session Senator Rawlins was elected The result of yesterdays three ballots showed no definite break In the deadlock However another strong intimation came from the Republican side of the assembly that unless the Democrats very soon elect the senator the minority minor-ity party will on the high plane of patriotism step in and end the already longdrawnout contest In yesterdays voting the fact that Representatives Forman and Mansfield Mans-field were absent caused a shrinkage in McCunes vote to 25 The former was reported a confined to his room with la grippe and the latter was at the hospital where his son is receiving receiv-ing attention to an injured hand Representative Cook went back to tc Powers his first choice thus decreasing decreas-ing Kings vote to 12 The Republican vote was of the same proportions tis on the four previous days Representativ3Chnstianson havIng hav-ing returned to his seat but Representative Repre-sentative C Z Harris who oh Thurs day was excused till Tuesday was not among those present The three ballots taken yesterday gave the same result each time JUSTIFICATION OF R COOK On the sixtyeighth the first ballot I of yesterdays joint assembly Rep e ntative Cook withdrew his support from King and went back to Powers In doing so he said I have voted until now without giving giv-ing any reasons for my vote We have been called stubborn ornery and other names by the majority but I have found in my reading of history that minorities have frequently been right And I know in this case that it is so I know the people of this state are behind us I know that they desire the election of either Judge Powers or Judge King I believe Judge Power to be a man of men who can set Utah right before the nation and show that this political division on party lines is sincere He would show that wedo not elect a man on account of his religious re-ligious opinions but on account of his ability Before election we crowd out to hear him and think him a great man but when we have any favors to give we turn the old man out on the hill to graze and we select some young man who parts his hair in the middle and give the place to him 1 return therefore to my first choice and cast my vote again for the man who will be the next senator from Utah the Hon O W Powers said In his turn Representative ONeil saidI 1 rise at this time to give one more reason for the vote I shall cast at this time I noticed by the Tribune this I yc I morning that I am condemned for my present position by that wouldbe defender de-fender of the Democracy Now Mr President if any further assurance were needed as to the correctness of nee my position the attitude of that paper furnishes me that assurance For I have watched with interest the political politi-cal position taken by that paper for years and I have noticed that whenever when-ever it hat espoused the cause of any man it pays lo watch that man for he has most assuredly gone astray I ftl perfectly safe in casting my vote for the Hon A W McCune WAKNINCJ FROM REPUBLICANS all the at his i command With earnestness mand Representative Richards Ile I pubUcaji spf ke as follows I PresldeatiThls is the twentysixth day of this session and the sixtyeighth joiiif ballot cast for a United States sen atnr ind from present indications I judge that w are further from the end than we > rv in the beginning I such a thing can IK possible early onehnlf of the time allotted to this legislature has been I pra < ticully wasted and nearly onehalf of te money jiecetary to conduct a I sxt > < ane of ryt legislature sou ir dertxl rnl the effort to elect or to I r 1111 a United States senator We are under reproach before the peo Jlk nf this state for the unwarrantable and inexcusable waste of time and the pcopie money and while I feel keenly tni reproach as a member of the minority mi-nority > et Mr President I contend that the irtmltely greater reproach rests upon the riwnbers of the majority of this body 1 say time and the peoples money have bem wastol I ask Mr President what art Ue facts More than 10 lulls and svutions have been introduced in the hows of this legislature and less than a li ill dozen of them have been passed Ih calling your attention Jlr President to vvhire the responsibility for this ron legislation lies I refer you to a sentlmci prevalent among the members of the jnaiorltv of which I am Informed In on of its members that It is not desir iWc that lulls should come up for linai con i slderutlon while this senatorial cott I Is on as the arguments that would be necessary for and against these me s urea would most likely I affect the seas toii vote Now Mr President if the wheels of legislative progress are blocked by the deadlock In the senatorial contest which is the result of tho action of the majority where then lies the responsibility for nonlegislation There can be put one answer 1 the point b raised as I have heard It stated upon the liner of this house and elswhcre by members of the majority that there is no pressing demand de-mand for immediate legislation then I answer let us end this senatorial fight at once and adjpurn this session of the legislature Doc tho responsibility of this what i called A deadlock rest upon the majority I answer members of the majority have repeatedly told us that this is no light of ours that we ihust keep our spoon out of their dish and it has been said heWing that l we interfere rb the purpose of settling this matter that they would I thwart our purpose by withdrawing their support from the candidate for rl nh we shocld vote There has up to this time Mr President Presi-dent ben no disposition upon the i art of the minority to interfere with the purposes pur-poses of the majority in the election of a United States senator but a has been aCted already upon the floor a restive upn spirit Is manifest In our ranks We have been patient and I now serve notice upon the majority of this body that patience ceases to bo a virtue Virtue must assert itself and uaVttsan ship must yield to patriotism I the majority still insiSt on our keeping out of the light then Mr President 1 demand of them In behalf of the people of this state a speedy settlement of this question ton I cast voto Mr President my again for the tH K Geprge e f nlresldcnt WHICH IS THE MINORITY Directing his remark in reply tQ what Mr Cook had sal Representative Robinson Rob-inson suggested that if minorities are in ttje right then the Republican members mem-bers of the legislature are not wrong The representative from Rich county evened up for the laughter thrust by saying if I Robinsons claim were well founded the Cannon fusionists known also as the Insurgents from Weber We-ber county are right and the Republicans Repub-licans are in the wrong He disclaimed that Representative Lapish and himself him-self who were Judge Powers only supporters sup-porters yesterday had earned the distinction dis-tinction of being the stubborn minority minor-ity yet in the right Along toward 1 oclock the assembly dissolved till 1150 this morning On the motIon to dissolve Senators Howell Kiesel
