Show THIKTY-SLVf N II At LOTS TAKEN. Hut the Vote Mtltl Stand. Falmrr 101, Klmhy 100, Ktrratrr 3. Si'i(!N(;i lEl.i, III., Jan. 27. Afterthe thirty-seventh ballot for United States senator was taken without result, the , joint session adjourned until noon tomorrow. to-morrow. t' There is a movement for a com pro- f raise on foot. Tho republicans will : vote for any candidate with decided I' republican leanings that tho farmer , members may suggest, provided that they cau get the trio to stick together I on him. Tho democrats will suffer de- j feat rather than forsake Palmer. This tends to show that simply because $ Oglesby has been tho caucus nominee fp will not prevent him from being thrown I overboard by tho republicans in case 5 they see they can get in a farmer who i has republican tendencies. I The republicans are 100 strong, and with the three farmer members acting f with them, can elect a United States ? senator. The democrats are lol strong ?; and can elect their scuator with two of the farmer members acting with them. 5 The F. M. B. A. men have put Streoter j! forward, knowing from the start, that M the republicans will not accept him, i M and that they would uot if the republi-j republi-j cans wanted to. Hence they are anx- 6 ious for delay, for if they can find a - man who suits them and the republi-t republi-t cans they can elect the senator. This H they have an ambition to do. j From this it would seem that the re-j fa publicans at the present time are prob- i' ably closer in touch with the farmers' I alliance men than tho democrats, but this doesn't mean anything in particular, particu-lar, because the fight is young yet and may be prolonged for weeks. As things are now, the election of a straight-out democrat or republican is an impossibility, impossi-bility, and, knowing this tho republicans republi-cans are. willing to take tho best thing they can get. |
