CAUCUS IN SENATE
RESULTS IN DEADLOCK.
It Is Feared That the Organization of
the Houses Will Not Be Effected To
day May Result In Deferring Elec
tion of Senator,
Salem, Or., Jan. 12. The legislature
convened this morning. The senate
was called to order promptly at 10
o'clock by C. W. Fulton, of Clatsop
J. D. Dally, of Corvallis, was elected
temporary chairman.
The presidency caucus occurred at
11 o'clock. There were 22 in the cau
cus, Fulton presiding. A hot fight de
veloped over organization, and it may
not be settled today.
The state caucus had eight ballots
on president, which resulted In a dead
lock. G. C. Browne!!, of Clackamas,
and W. T. Smith, of Yamhill, each
received 11 votes. The caucus meets
again this afternoon to renew ballot
ing. In the house caucus Davey was un
expectedly strong, the first ballot giv
ing Frank Davey, of Marion, 17; L. T.
Haris. of Lane. 15: B. L. Eddy, of Til
lamook. 15. In the seventh ballot
Davey had 1G, Harris, 16, Eddy 15.
It is feared that the organization of
both houses will not be effected to
day, which would result in deferring
the election of a senator another
week, as the law provides that it shall
take place the second Tuesday after
organization. Delay would seriously
unsettle the existing combinations,
especially as tho vacancy caused by
Congressman Tongue's death is sure
to play an Important part in the sen
atorial fight.
Still Unbroken.
The deadlock in the speakership
fight is unbroken after 19 ballots In
caucus. On tho last ballot the vote
was: Harris, 19; Davey, 1C; Eddy, 12.
A strong pressure is being brought
to bear to force a choice today, so as
tt not delay the election of a sena
tor. The fight seems to be between
Harris and Davey. The caucus will
resume balloting at 2 o'clock this
afternoon,
At 1:30 the senate again convened
and proceeded with the caucus for
president. George C. Browne!!, of Or
egon City, was elected.
U T. Harris, of Eugene, won in the
assembly.
