more than fifty can be induced to sign -up for the Governor's plan, then forty-eight Democrats will be outside the breastworks and fighting like tigers every inch of the way. The success or failure of th Governor's plan" rests almost wholly with the Republicans. If tiey decide to accept the Governor's propoelti.cn with an almost solid vote, then the Sherman-Lewis people will have around 115 votes, or a good doien more' than the constitutional majority of 103. There will, be several absentees tomorrow: and probably one hundred votes or less' will constitute a majority, or a sufficient number to elect both Senators. The Boeschenstem men, who also represent former Xatienal Committeeman Sullivan, are vigorously proclaiming late, tonight that they will be able to blok the deal tomorrow.

Shortly after the adjournment was taken today Governor Dunne called Karen to the xecutive office' and persuaded him to abandon tbe two-Democrats slogan and come In under the Lewis-Sherman compact.

Mr. Karch did this, and then attempted to rEclnd the call for the The "regulars." however, refused to have the caucnB called off and went into executive session on the south Bide of the capltol rotunda shortly before o'cloek tonight. nd at the same hour tbe Republicans filed Into the Senate chamber, on the opposite side. The doors were locked and state-bouse policemen were stationed outside to keep away the curious. 1 1 I I 1 jh iuuiu uvuiu ur oi distance from the heavy doors, and the Indications were that both caucuses had developed bitter clashes.

In both the Republican and Democratic caucuses the opposition to the Lewis-fherinan compact came Irom the so-called "wet" men. In the Republican caucus several members protected against voting tor Lewis. OPPOMTIOX IS II ITT Kit. In the Democratic caurus the "wet" men wore that they would cut off their arms nd blow np the state house before they would vote for Sherman.

The direct result of this action was tbe refusal of Representative Schtjackeo-berg to further support Lewis. Other Bull Moose men were white with rage and it now locks as if Dunne haS lost the up-port of this party in the General Aesembiy. The Bull Mooters discussed this proposition Jn their caucus -tonight and Ocally decided to remain off to one side tomorrow and let the Republicans and Democrats Cisht It out.

Governor Dunc refused flat-Jootecl to ronsMer the proposition of the Suliivao-Baeschersttin men to withdraw his Leis-Cberman program. The committee from tbe "regular" caucus left, the Governor's office at 11:80 'clock tonight, wearing dejected but ul-ln faces.

Senator Broderfck and his committee then parted. 1)IAE SKKS MCtE.

"I feel very confident at this hour that we will break the deadlock tomorrow with the election of Lewis and Sherman. I sea nothing in the late developments tonight to cause me to change my mind. I have now on my desk the names of forty-three Democratic members of the Assembly who will vote for Lewis and Sherman tomorrow. There are three other lists out, on one of which I am told there are five names. I confidently expect that no less than sixty Democrats will vote for the two primary nominees tomorrow.

Of course, I can't tell yet what the Republicans will do, but I am reliably informed that not more than ten of them will oppose this honorable "settlement of the deadlock." I.MMCATIOVS OK; IiHKAK. First indications of a break in the deadlock immediately after the Senators had taken their seats in the joint session. Arising to a question of personal privilege. Homer Tice, a Republican leader in the House, read the following statement made by Judge Sherman: Legislature i dlvidd Into three political parts. No ono part can elect the United States Senators to w.blcb this state is entitled.

Any two parts' can. "The seventy-five Republican members of the Legislature have offered to go Into a conference with the ninety-seven Democratic members to consider the claims of Mr. Lewis and myself. In that conference If Mr. Lewis should have more votes than myself, he should be voted for by all tbe members participating in that conference for the long term and myself by all such votes for the short term.

OFFER IS ItEJKtTEU. "Conversely, If I should receive more votes than Colonel Lew Is In that confer ence. I scould be voted for by all sucb members' for the long term and Colonel Lewis for the short This offer was lejcctcd by tbe Democrats. "The seventy-five Republican members of the Legislature have offered to vote for Frank H. Funk, unanimous caucus nominee of the twenty-seven Progressive members of the Legislature, on condition that they vote for mo for the long term.

"To so elect Mr. Funk and myself to the short term and the long term, respectively, would require every Republican and every Progressive vote. Mr. Funk and nineteen Progressives favor "Eight Progressive members under Walter Clyde Jones and' Medill McCormick have bolted their own' nominee and this offer and made it impossible to elect either him or me by the combined Republican and Progressive votes. "The Republicans have tried faithfully to elect me for the long term by all honorable means open to They have exhausted all such means.

"It is" no longer a political question, it is no a governmental one. Illinois Is entitled now to have equal suffrage In the United States Senate. Two vacant seats in that body do not properly represent the 6.0Ki.O).0 American people of this state. "Somebody must break the deadlock. Conditions are Intolerable.

Illinois and deadlock must cease to be linked In the public mind. Stubborn resistance must yield. To the end that this state shall have representation in tbe United States Senate and that the legislation of. this state shall have due and timely consideration, I now subordinate my personal and private wishes In ending this deadlock. "I aek that every supporter' of mine In this Legislature vote for Mr.

Lewis for the long term on condition that every sup porter of Mr, Lewis vote for roe for the short term, until both of us shall have been elected."
