brines to an end. a deadlock which has
crsr.vn'ifd seven weeks, delaying
legislation and involving parties 13
bitter factional strife. Yesterday's bal
lots were the 15th taken In joint ses
sion . The Hopkins-Lorimer deadlock
in 1P"P continued from January until
May Z1"', C5 balio's being taken.
MM EXPLAIN" tOTES.
Yrs,:. relay's joint session lasted from
nc on -.:i.'J! o'clock. There was
much oratory from members who wish
ed to exp'.ain their votes. Sullivan
rion.ocTHts in speeches during the bal-
oug ir.HrRvd Governor Lunne wltn
- ? p-jnsi';ii:iTy for the failure to elect
wo democratic senators. The Dunne
spokesmen in return declared that if
the Sullivan men had b-en on the
square for Iwis and had been willing
to elect him without any agreement
regarding the short term, two demo
csrt,s would hare been elected long
ago with the aid cf hf.tf a dozen votes
parties,
you will feel I am your servant as well
as that of the state."
Mr. Sherman expressed his thanks '.
to the members and congratulated
them on having written the epitaph on
senatorial oead'.ocks, no more of them
being In prospect as a iesult of the
probability of the election of senators
by direct vote of the people coming in
to effect soon.
"I shall vote consistently to cause
the government to remain a govern
ment individualism." said Mr. Sher
r.ian. "1 do not believe the govern
ment is able to do everything from
nursing an Infant to running an elevat
e 1 road.
"1 do not expect to rote always with
riy distinguished colleague. I 6hall be
governed by my party platform, but
sLall not allow any party organization
to do my thinking for me."
CONfiR ATT'LATEn RV m'NNE.
Governor Punne was called upon for
a hpeech when the two newly elected
sei.ato-s had been heard.
"I believe you have scted patriotical
ly and sanely and prudently and wise
ly in doing the thing you have done
today," said the governor. "We all
have studied arithmetic and we know
that 97 votes do not make a majority.
Therefore, after we had spent three
weeks in a vain and fruitless r-ffort to
elect two democratic senators, 1 be-

The balloting for the two senators
took up two hours and a half. After

senators elected a committee composed

would be fair and just to present some
sort of a compromise proposition to the
people of the state. !
"I thought It wise to take the people
itito our confidence, and I proposed a
st'ution that I thought was sane and
just. I think I can safely predict that '
over 95 per cent of the peojfle of the
state, no matter what their political
affiliations are, will approve this ac-;
tion. I congratulate you upen the
breaking of this agonizing and unfor-;
tr.nate deadlock that has been delaying
' the business of the state.
"Now let's all get to work and put
upon the statute books the laws the
people demand."
The governor's speech brought the
' joint session to a close. The senators
filed out of the house chamber and the
house adjourned.
The two newly elected senators then
held an informal reception in the
speaker's room. The extendirg of con-;
pratulaiions was continued last night
at the formal reception tendered mem
bfrs of the legislature and their wives
at the executive mansion by Governor
ar.d Mrs. Dunne.

! Mr. Boeschenstein. defeated demo-;
! crntic candidate, last night issued the
fciiowing statement :
"As democratic national committee
man from Illinois, representing the
democratic national organization, 1 felt
. it my duty to make an earnest effort
' to obtain the election of two democrat
ic t'nited States senators. I still think
this could have been accomplished, but
Governor Dunne and the majority of
the democratic members of the general
ass.emb'y have taken the opposite view.
1 accept the situation and am willing
to join with Senator Lewis, Governor
Dunne and the democrats of the gen
eral assembly in the common cause of
obtaining for the state and national
ac'ministratiors the greaiest possible
measure of success.
"1 have given practically ail of my
1 tiiv.e for the last 15 months to work
for the democratic pr-.rty, and am glad
th" deadlock is broken and that I will
have p. short, period of rest from politi-

those members who gave me their
Fupport and who stood s'eaufastly
throughout the deadlock for the elec-ti.-ir.
of two democrats, and to the many
friends in all parts of the s'ate who
