JEFFERSON CITT, Mo., March IS.
After having been In a deadlock since
January 18 over the election of a United
States Senator to succeed Francis - M.
Cockrcll, the Legislature at 15 minutes
before final adjournment today elected
Major "William Warner, Republican, of
Kansas City. Seven ballots in Joint ses
sion iv ere taken today in effecting a de
cision, and the closing scenes of the Leg
islature have not been paralleled in the
history of Missouri politics. "When It be
came evident that "Warner -would be the
choice, the Democrats, who bad stead
fastly supported Cockrcll throughout,
locked horns with the Republicans, who
were split among the caucus nominee,
Thomas K. Nledrlngbaus, Richard C.
Kerens and over a score of other nomi
nees, and the Assembly Chamber became
a place of general riot.
Efforts wero made to prevent a rollcall
on the seventh ballot, several attempted
to tear the presiding officer from the
chair, and the Democrats tried to effect
an adjournment without election. The
time for sine die adjournment had been
set for 3 o'clock, by concurrent resolu-,
tion. and as the hour approached the
clock was smashed in the melee. Amid
an uproar that almost baffled control at
times, the seventh ballot of the day was
taken, resulting in the election pf Major
Warner. The vote stood:
Warner. 91; Cockrell, S3; Niedringhaus.
J. The total vote was 175, making SS
necessary to a choice, and Warner re
ceived three votes more than a majority.
Hot Speeches on Opening Ballot.
When the first ballot was begun, the
61st since the opening of the session,
the Niedringhaus men, in pursuance of
plans agreed on early in the day, sup
ported Major Warner, of Kansas City,
almost solidly.
"It is time to elect a Senator." declared
Representative Detweiler. of Laclede, in
casting his ballot. "I hardly know whom
to vote for. but I will vote for Major
William Warner."
Representative Godfrey, of St. Louis,
followed for Warner. Then Representa
tive Grace took the floor, and. after talk
ing at some length in explanation of his
position, he exclaimed:
"I wish to say that I Intend to vote for
that grand old man, Richard C. Kerens,
until Hades freezes over, and if it should
freeze I would skate on the ice."
President McKInley remarked, after the
Kerens demonstration had subsided, that
Grace, had probably "got it out of his
system."
Every mention of Warner's name drew
forth enthusiastic applause. Representa
tive Thompson declared Niedringhaus had
pleaded with him for an hour earlier to
day to vote for Warner, which he had
finally consented to do.
Attempt at Stampede Fails.
The ballot resulted: Cockrell S3, War
ner 54, Niedringhaus 22, Kerens 5, Barth
oldt J, Peck 1. Total voting, 175; neces
sary to choice, SS.
A second ballot wfes taken, resulting:
Cockrell S3. Warner G6, Niedringhaus 4,
Kerens 20, Peck 1. Parker 1.
Fever heat marked the taking of the
third ballot. Representative Allen, in
casting his vote, said:
"The eyes of the people are fixed upon
this Assembly. Are we going home with
out having elected a United States Sena
tor?" Cries of "No, no." resounded.
The third ballot resulted: Cockrell S3.
Warner 68, Niedringhaus 3, Kerens 20,
Peck 1.
On the fourth ballot Lewis went from
Warner to Kerens.
In taking the fifth ballot much excite
ment was occasioned by Representative
Walmsley, of Kansas City, changing his
vote from Kerens to Warner after the
roll call had finished. An attempt im
mediately followed by the Warner sup
porters to stampede the Assembly for
Warner but it failed.
The fifth ballot: Cockrell S3. Warner 68,
Niedringhaus 4, Kerens 19, Peck 1.
When tho vote was announced. Repre
sentative Nelson, a Democrat, moved to
adjourn. The Republicans hooted him
down. The sixth ballot then proceeded.
Kerens appeared in the hall at 1:50 and
was escorted to the rostrum by Senator
Peck.
The sixth ballot: Cockrell S3, Warner
67, Kerens 13, Niedringhaus 5, Peck 1.
Tho Democrats clamored to dissolve the
session. Republicans shouted "No, no I
Quiet! Orderl" There was wild cheering
as Kerens took the rostrum. Senator Mc-
Davld. Democrat, moved that the Joint
assembly dissolve. This was met with a
chorus of "noes, i
The roll call was then taken on the
motion to dissolve. The Warner managers
announced positively that Kerens would
withdraw in favor of their candidate.
Kerens remained on the stand during the
roll call on the motion to dissolve. Tho
motion was lost, 92 to S2, President Mc
KInley not voting.
AVhen this vote was announced there
were repeated calls for Kerens. For two
minutes the spectators cheered as the
white-haired Republican veteran stepped
forward to address the assembly. He
-cald:
Kerens Declares for Warner.
"Your duty is to elect a Republican
Senator. Therefore, if Major William
Warner is your choice, I say Godspeed
to you, my fellow-Republicans, and elect
'nlm."
Pandemonium reigned when Colonel Ke
rens concluded. The Warner men became
frantic Senator Dickinson was finally
recognized. He moved a recess of SO min
utes. Kerens left the rostrum Immediate
ly after speaking. The roll call was taken
on Dickinson's motion.
Dickinson's motion to take a recess was
lost by a vote of 92 to 77.
Riot Breaks Loose.
Senator McDavid and a score of Demo
crats then demanded recognition on a mo
tion to adjourn. They climbed on the
desks of the clerks, appealing from the
ruling of the chair, shouting to the clerks
not to call the roll. Roach refused to call
the roll. A fight started In one end of
the hall, resulting in the smashing of
the clock. Russell took the roll call out
of Roach's hands and called the roll htm
self. The Republicans voted for Warner.
Senators Nelson and Klnealy. of St.
Louis, tried to pull the presiding officer
out of the chair. The Democrats refused
to vote.
The Assembly was in a riot. The
Democratic leaders yelled: "Don't vote;
don't vote." f
Somebody climbed a ladder; and made
the oamagea ciock read 3 o'clock, ad

yelledvthat the time of adjournment was
passed.
