Governor Deneen holds the key to the
Fenatorlal situation, which will become
acute next TueLay and 'Wednesday, the
days art apart by the constitution for the
election of a United States Senator. His
course will be one which he believes)
will put an end to the turmoil of which
he haa been the center for nearly two
years. Since the present session of the
I-sflslattire was opened he has been In
the ml tat of a conflict, and hlapreeent
problem. In language used by a frleijd
today. Is "how to use the situation so
is to get out of hot water without Jump
ing Into a boiling cauldron."
Deneen Can Have Office. '
It was the conference of the Governor
nd. Congressman Lorimer, his ancient
Hiemy. late yesterday afternoon which
Treated the state of affairs existing to
flay. It had been understood that the
Governor would support Senator Hop
sins for re-election and would favor a
party caucus at which the Senatorshlp
should be settled. Then arose other mat
ters which the Governor thought should
be "subjects for caucus deliberation, and
be was not pleased.
It Is generally believed that Mr. De
neen could succeed Mr. Hopkins, did
he care to do so. Mr. Lorimer and his
Mends have felt this and there la lit
tle doubt that the Congressman -eaM
something of the kind to the Governor
In their prolonged conversation last even
ing. Thei executive did not tell the Con
gressman, however, that he would 'even
consider the proposal. Thus far the
Coventor Is for Mr. Hopkins, and the
Senator's chances depend largely on how
ardently the Governor la foV him
FomM of First Ballot. - ' .
When the two branches meet In sep
arate session at 11 o'clock on Tuesday, as
provided by Joint resolution adopted by
the House, composed today of Represen
tative David E. Shanaban and Speaker
Shurtleff, It is expected the vote will
be somewhat like this:
Albert J. Hopkins CR-). T3; George Ed-
'' mund Foes (it-). 39; "William . E. Mason
(R), 0; Lawrence B. Stringer,' (D.)r 77.
This probably will be the same vote
that will be cast on the following day,
when the two houses meet Jn Joint ses
sion, for It Is not believed that a caucus
can be held Tuesday .night which will
decide anything.
v The proypect of a deadlock has
brought forward the names of additional
candidates, so that besides Mr. Deneen.
Speaker Shurtleff. Richard Tates, Frank
O. Ixrwden and George T. Buckingham,
of Danville, are mentioned.
