Not a Christian land sectarianism in schools

Springfield January 30 Five ballots were taken in a joint session of the Illinois General Assembly without electing a United States senator to succeed Albert J Hopkins. The session adjourned until noon tomorrow to resume balloting daily until a senator is chosen. Hopkins led on the first ballot but failed to reach the needed majority as the field narrowed to Shurtleff and Lowden with Hopkins slipping further behind. The deadlock prompted speculation on possible shifts in Democratic support or unity against Hopkins, with Gov. Deneen being mentioned as a potential alternative. The series of ballots showed Hopkins remaining ahead in early rounds with minor changes, while Lowden and others gained slight votes in later rounds. Other states completed elections for senators in separate joint sessions yesterday.
