After a deadlock over the election

shortly after nbon ye-terday through)
a ti.fdnight session and one roil call
'this morning, harmonious relations

Many Ballots Taken
Sixteen ballots were taken on the!
«UC -tlon nr eleetlon of a permanent I
Secretary. Of that number 15 were;
taken yesterday. five before recess
at 1 p. m. ami 10 between 8 p. m
and midnight. The support of Miss
iSceitt. made up of Senators Dimond
and Chamberlin, Third; Ayer. See-)
ond, And Dunn, Fourth, was unwaver
lng. On every ballot she received!
four votes. Stool's support, Senators j
Aldrich and Hunt, First; Brown ofj
the 'Second, and Snodgrass. Fourth,
was affected occasionally when one)
of his supporters switched to W. M
Eddy.
Between ballots last rilght supgor’
ers Of iMfSS Scott gavo notice that ;
they wotfid maintain their position.,
Uegrot of the delay occasioned by
the deadlock waa expressed by Sen
ator Dimond, who declared that the |
Third Division was seeking only two)
positions, that over which the con
test was in progress and a min r
Clerkship. He pictured the First Di
vision as “hogging the camera." call-1
in.e attention to the fact that it had
man in presiding officers in belli
Houses, as Clerk of tho House, nn I
in most of the other (positions. Sen ;
ators Dunn and Chamberlin both ex ,
'pressed a similar determination t >
adhere to their candidate ir It took,
all session.
■Senate* Aldrich, spoaking for the
Steel element, said its candidate was|
intimately connected with the He I
publican organization which he ha I
supported in pdlHJca! campaigns and
otherwise aided. Ho was qualified]
in every way and politically, he said ;
for the position.
Not Political Matter
Dlmond rejoined that he was sur
prised at 1he question of political
preference being raised. "I am a
Democrat and it certainly won't carry
a«y weight with me.” ho declared.
Ho mentioned tho fact that when he
first came to know Senator Aldrich
and admire him, tho latter was a
Democratic Senator in the Alaska
legislature and that later he was
Delogata from Alaska to the Demo
cratic iNultional Convention in St
Lrfmis that nominated Woodrow WU
grtn for tho second time.
Aldrich, responding, admitted his
former affiliations with the Demo
icratlic party, but said he had seen
the light and reformed. “It must
■have been a candlelight." interjected
Senator Dunn.
Efforts to sidetrack tho situation
■were made but were unavailing last
night. A motion by Snodgrass to
appoint a committee 'to examine into
the quaKficatiUms of applicants for
positions was lost on a four to four
vote, the Senate aligning as on the
(Secretaryship. At 10 p. m. Aldrich
moved ■adjournment, but it brought
srtrong opposition from Chamberlin
and 'Dunn and was lost. At 11 p. m.
a recess was taken tor one hour.
After reconvening and taking two
ballots without any change in the
situation. Senator Dlmond moved ad
journment, which was accomplished
about midnight
Sanate Recesses
Only one ballot was taken this
momtng. standing four and four for
the candidates. Almost without de
lay, Senator Snodgrass took the floor
and said he was authorized by Mr
Steel to withdraw his candidacy.
