C. Wood Davis. the we'll known Kansas
statitician and writer on economic sub
iects. who has been in Washington for the
past year managing the fight for the anti
option bill now before congress, was in To-
prka Yesterday. He says that if congress had
been in session a month longer the anti
option bill would have passed notwith,
standing the great fight against the bill
made by the board of trade men and grain
speculators of New York, Chicago ana
other cities. He says they had powerful
lobby working against the bill and spent
great deal Of money. Mr.. Davis says that
he was not surprised that Jerry Simpson
voted against the bill, but he thinks the
farmers of the Seventh district, many
Thousand of whom had petitioned congress
to pass the bill, will remember Mr.. Simp-
| sons votesagaipSt the interests OF the far
mers All the other Kansas congressman
and all the allisncemen, as well, nearly all
| the western mem bers regardless OF politics,
voted for the bill. Mr.. Davis says the
| fight will be renewed at the next session
of congress.
Senator K. E. Willcockson of Oakley
| says the populists are going to make a
| n special session Of the Legislature 'They
know that they are in the hole and can
never go before the people on the record
| they have made in the legislature just ad-
| journed," said Senator Willcockson
''They know that the defeat of the
railroad bill can be charged to the
populists, and that there is no way they
can get out of it. They want an extra
session so that maximum freight bill
may be passed before the next campaign
opens, otherwise they will be held 10
answer for the failure to pass the bill at
the regular session. Ii special session
is called, the populists will be wholly re
sponsible. The Republicans are in good
shape TO go before the people on the rail
road question:; they did sill in their power
to pass a maximum freight bill. and but
for populist obstruction the state would
have a maximum freight law at this time.
An extra session would cost at least S5O, coo
and if it is called the populists viii have
to shoulder the responsibility.
