Bowling has not given up, and if the

ness with his declination of the congress
sional nomination They had counted un-
duly on the effect of the pressure which
they knew would be brought to bear on
him by President Roosevelt and other re-
publican leaders,
That pressure has availed nothing.
Colonel Henderson still insists that he
will retire. And, in truth, politicians here
no not now see how he can do anything
else, but they are unanimous in believing
that the real reason for the retirement
does not appear in anything thus far made
public by Colonel Henderson.
In these dispatches yesterday the ldea
was advanced that Colonel Henderson had
been influenced by the friction in the Iowa
party and the growing prominence OF the
~Cummins faction, which is hostile to him.
That, no doubt, had much to do with the
matter, but to-day Washington is advan-
cling another idea, which also has many
adherents. 1t is said that Colonel Hender-
son has retired because notice has been
served on him that if elected to the
fifty eighth, congress, he cannot hope to
retain his position as speaker. OPPOSE
ton to him as presiding officer had
been general and at times very bitter AS
speaker, he has made many enemies in
congress and cooled the ardor of many
friends.
On top of this fact comes the probability
that the fifty eighth congress will revise
the tariff. If it does, it will elect a re-
visionist speaker. Colonel Henderson Is
opposed to revision. He would not want
to come back to congress and serve in
the ranks. hence, his plan to retire.
| All gossip as to his successor Is far
| fetched at present. Numerous "favorite
sons will come forward, and in the mix
up of candidates it cannot be guessed at
this distant date who will win. One of the
strongest of them will be Representative
Cannon of Illinois. Logically, the place
should be his, but congress is not always
| logical. A fight within the party over the
tariff, trusts, or any other question, might
sweep aside all "favorite sons and elect
a man thus far unnamed. -rt--~

derson's exit from the stage is anything
but dignif1ed or graceful. His friends are

THERE IS WRATH
Republican Politicians Are Sore at
the Speaker,

Washington, Sept. 1S.-There is a gen.
eral feeling Of wrath over the action Of
Mr.. Henderson and the Iowa contingent
here express in warm terms the humilla-
ton and chagrin which the action caused.
Iowa people assert that there was nothing
in thes ituation relating to the tariff which
should have caused General Henderson to
take such a. step at this time.
There is disgust among the republicans
and hilarity among the democrats. The
republicans do not believe that such a
state Of affairs exists, with respect to the
tariff issue. in Hendersons district as to
call for his withdrawal, and especially
after he had accepted the Iowa platform
declaration on the tariff.
But admitting that there was want of
unity on that, or any other question, the
republicans believe that Henderson
showed want of genuine fighting quail
ties and sulked at an inopportune time,
thereby doing his party all the injury he
could possibly have done at this time.
The democrats at the congressional head
quarters are in an exultant mood. They
insist that the action Of Henderson means
that the republican party is panic-s stricken
on the tariff question.

A Victory for the Northern securi

Special to The Journal,

Special to The Journal.
New York, Sept. 1S.-The Wall Street
Journal says that the indications are that
the Securities case will be epoch making
in it's results. When President Roosevelt
bring the suit against the so-called merger
under the Sherman antitrust law, he set
in motion machinery Of extraordinarily
powerful character, and raised the whole
question Of the railroad organization and
of first principles. Mr.. Knox has made
a case that will be very hard to upset. A
good many people think the wisest plan
for the defense would be a line Of argu-
ment giving frank statement Of the COM
pany's purposes and a justification Of
the purposes in the light Of what has
been done by practically all the large rail-
road companies of the United States.
This would amount practically to a plea
of guilty coupled with the statement that
everybody else was also guilty.
A decision in favor of Northern Securi-
ties will set on foot demand for the
government purchase Of railroads which is
not unlikely to take a prominent place
among important political issues.
A decision against the company will
mean the indefinite postponement of many
and in all probability put stop to the
style Of financing that has been so popular
in the last two years. The sooner the de-
cision is reached the better it will be for
everybody.

Volstead carried Chippewa, Grant, Lao

Bowling led in Lincoln, Lyon, Redwood
and Renville Young carried Big Stone,
Kand1yohi, Stevens, Swift and Traverse.
The figures are full Of surprises. They
show how little an old school politician
knows about results under the new pri-
mary law. Young led in the shouting and

Marcus Johnson, one Of the shrewdest old

So, 900 at two to one on Young against
Bowling with Volstead out of the reck-
oning.
Bowling justified his claims in the south
end of the district, with the exception of
his own county. He invaded Lincoln and
Lyon counties, which were in Volstead's
legislative district and had been conceded
to the Granite Falls man. Bowling car
ried them both. He beat Young handily
in Redwood county.
It was in Dowlings own county of Rem
vile that the silent farmer vote betrayed
him to Volstead. He had only conceded
300 votes to Volstead. and the noise did
| not warrant that many. On full vote
Bowling expected at least LOO plurality
at home. The vote was full, but Bowling
got only about two thirds Of it, and plu-
rality of $50.

again, leading by a hundred votes.

But Volstead simply slaughtered Young

He Has Not Advocated Putting the
Trust Made Articles on the
Free List.
MIR. Babcock Explains His Position
at Length in a Dictated
Interview.
Ne.p Yorb Sun Special Servfco

Ne.o Yor1s Sun Special Servtoe
New York Sept. 1S.-The attention Of
Chairman BabcOck Of the republican con-
gressional committee was to-day called to
a published report of the conference at
Oyster Bay, in which it was stated that
1.-The Babcock plan of putting trust-made
goods on the free list was not mentioned"
Mr.. Babcock dictated the following state
ment:
II have never advocated putting trust
made goods on the free list because they
were manufactured by a combination or a
trust, nor do know of any republican who
has. We have always antagonzed this
proposition, which is Of democratic origin,
and want to call attention to an author
lied interview on the Iowa platform which
fully explains my position on this subject,
as published in the New York Tribune Of
Aug. l, in which I said:
The Iowa tariff plank is in harmony with the
republican national platform of 1885, which
says: We are not pledged to any particular
schedules. The question of rates is practical
question to be governed by the conditions Of
time and production. The result of the ectiou
the obnoxious Wilson law and enact in its
place the present Dingley tariff, and l I'M
derstand the Iowa platform, It means just what
the national platform. of 1896 says-that when
changes become necessary by the conditions of
time and production such changes should be made
in harmony with the republican policy Of pro-
lection.
1.-The republican party has ever been
ready to meet new conditions. and l be-
lieve it will handle this question coura-
geously and in line with the republican
platform of 1896, under which the Dingley
law was enacted. The Iowa platform and
the democratic idea of tariff reform are
as far apart as the heavens are from the
earth.
''Any change that the republican party
would make would be strictly upon pro-
| tective lines, while the democratic idea
| would be tariff for revenue only, which
| means free trade. The democratic propo-
sition to put all trust-made articles on the
fire list would be the worst blow that
could be struck at labor in this country
'Tt is not question of who manufac-
lures articles for export. whether an indi-
vidual or a combination of individuals, but
the question is the com parative cost of the
| manufacture of such articles In this coun-
| try with the cost of similar articles in for
eign countries.
I'm this question the wages Of labor is
the all-important factor. The dernocra tic
| idea, if enacted into law, would mean the
| closing of the factories, followed by idle
ness, very like the conditions that existed
under the Wilson tariff law

New York, Sept. 18.-The union in which
the regulation of fire underwriting for the
central western states is centered Is hold
ing it's annual convention at Frontenac,
N. Y, says a dispatch to the Journal of
Commerce. During the initial session only
routine business was transacted. ....--
President J. M. Decamp, in his address,
congratulated the members on the sue
cess of the movement in the west for ad-
vanced rates. What is known as union
territory yields 43 per cent Of the pre-
miums of the country. The 25 per cent
advance on certain classes was equivalent
to s per cent on the whole business. Mr..
Decamp quoted figures showing that the
average rate, despite the increase, was
or 6 per cent less than in 1896, and
showed only slight sharing in the gen.
eral prosperity 49,. s...~sa H..
One of the good results noted by the
president was that the gain on ratio OF
premium greatly. exceeded the gain in the
percentage of liability assumed, which
healthy state must, he said, soon become
manifest in a reduced rate of loss.
The governing committees report re-

vance of the work The situation by
states also was reviewed, and the eXpe-
diency of excepting this schedule in GER

into at length. Taken as whole, 1t was
the view that western conditions were
greatly improved and that an era Of pros
perity was at hand.
