cessOr to Senator Palmer Has
Not Been Named.
There Is Too Long a List of
Prominent Candidates in
the Field,
And the Situation Becomes Daily
More Complicated--A Few
Of the Candidates.

SPRINGFIELD, Ills. Jan. 1S.-As to
who will be United States senator there
appears to be more an uncertainty than
ever. The retirement of Martin b.
Madden has been followed by the
growth of a vigorous lot of candidates.
They come from al! parts of the state
and all have friends out doing mission
airy work. Up to date the candidates
talked about are alphabetically as fol.
lows:
Samuel Allerton, Hon. w. Calhoun,
Congressman J.. Q. Cannon, Colonel
Clark e. Carp, ex-senator Charles B.
Farwell. Governor Joseph w. Fifer,
ext Governor John NJ. Hamilton, w. H.
Harper, Congressman Robert E. Hit,
Congressman A. J. Hopkins, Exon.
gresham William Lorim~r, ex-Con-
gresham W. r.. Mason, General John
McNulta, Congressman Water Reeves,
John NJ. Smythe and John 8. Tanner.
Some of these men are confident of
victory while others are merely posing
in the hope they may be struck by the
senatorial thunderbolt, in the confused
and mixed up condition Of the political
affairs.
There are politicians here who
count themselves wise, who profess to
believe that the man who is to succeed
Senator John M. Palmer in the United
States senateNhas not yet been named.
They claim that matters have become
SO complicated hat the Republicans
will have to select a dark horse. There
is some belief expressed hat the mat
ter will not be decided in joint eau.

joint assembly of the legislature.
Should tn $ he the outcome, it may be
that weeks will go by before "a NAL can

THE LOUD POSTAL BILL.

'sC0in" Harvey Protests to the Senate
Com mittee Against Its Passage.
WASHINGTON, Jan. lS.-The senate
committee on postoffices and postroads
granted a hearing on the Loud postal
bill. Among those who were heard
was w. H. Harvey, author of Coins
Financial School, who opposed the
bill. Mr.. Harvey commended that the
would get the benefit of any
reduction in the price of publications
caused by low postage, for the reason
that there could be no monopoly i'll the
business which the bill would most
effect, as there could be in the
publication of the metropolitan news.
papers. He claimed that the distribu.
ton of cheap literature was in the ma
ture of q free education of tho people.
He said in reply to a question from
Senator Villas that the Sunday news
paper was more trashy than most of
the books the bill was aimed at. Some
Of them were valueless to
be sure, but any effort to establish a
censorship would prove dangerous He
hoped that at least a way would be
found to except books ON political
economy from the operations of the
new bill and he was remarking that he
thought we were entering upon a
| serious time in the life of the Repub-
! lie when Senator Chandler interrupted
, to say that he thought 1--WE had saved
the country last fall
MI. Harvey thought that cheap p ost-
| age ought to cover cloth bound as
well rs paper bound books.
He thought Mr.. Loud had begun at
the wrong economic point of view and
said he should have investigated the
railroad charges for carrying the mails.
He believed these were double what
they should be.
