THE ILLINOIS DEADLOCK.
There is .. as well as na
tional interest in the threatened
deadlock in the Illinois legislal- :
ure: coast, because, .lames Ham- ,
ilton Lewis, the Democratic pri- ]
mary nominee for I’nited Stales!
senator, is an old resident of the
state of Washington: national lie
cause the legislature has two sen
ators to elect: the result of the
election may determine whether j
or not the Democrats are actual
ly to control the. United States |
senate for the next two years. j
While James Hamilton Lewis j
secured the Democratic indorse- j
ment in the primaries and Judge]
Lawrence Y. Sherman was the]
choice of the Republican electors,
neither the Democrats nor the
Republicans have a majority in
(lie legislature. The balance, of
power lies with the handful of
Bull Moosers who succeeded in ;
winning seats. The Bull Moosers
havs failed to show their hands
up to this time. Indeed, they
have some hopes that, they can
themselves land the prizes. They
have gone so far as to select three j
possible candidates for the two j
vacancies, Medill McCormick, i
Frank Funk and Charles E. Mor.-j.
riam.
TO uriliK ulHM.ll ail* nmiwn <n j
all it will lie necessary In effect ■
some kind of a fusion. Already i
t he Inter Ocean lias come for-!
ward with a suggestion for an al- :
liance beteen the Democrats and ;
the Republicans by which Slier- !
man and Lewis can each be ehos- !
on. For the purposes of effect-j
ing Ibis fusion it is perhaps for- ;
lunate that but a single eandi- j
date for each party was selected
at the primary. The expulsion of j
I.orimer made I be second vacancy ;
which is to be lilied.
The election, however il may j
I uni out, will lie made through j
some kind of a I rath* m- dicker. {
II is eei'lain I hat not one of the |
three parlies can eleel two sen-j
ators. I’ll*' only tpiestion is how:
the ultimate Irade will I"' effect -
cd. As a single senatorial seat
may make the difference between
control of the senate and ab
sence -of control, the Democrats j
are certain to he willing to fuse;
with one of the other two parlies, i

It i a fact that Valdez beer is a food and not a tonic.
Ask any doctor you know. Valdez beer aids digestion. Use
it a few times with your meals and you’ll find we re right.
If you drink beer you should use Valdez beer in preference to
others. First, because of its unquestionable high quality.
Second, because it is a home product; brewed in your home
town and all who are interested in tile growth and prosper
ity of Valdez, should patmniz home products.
