But again he defeated them. and was renomInated Then his two senatorial opponents, men who had during all their lives insisted upon regularity in party affairs, and have repeatedly put the brand of lnfamy upon men who refused to stay with their party under cor poration control, hesitated not at leading bolt, putting up against LaFollette an independent repubh- can ticket When the corporations could not control the party, !. regularity lost it's charm The idea was, of course, that the bolt would divide the republican vote, elect the demo- crat, who would probably let things run along as formerly, without strictly enforcing all the powers Of the railway commission, and con- tinue the injustice and robbery of the people, 50 long prevalent. But they miscalculated the temper of the people. LaFollette had been making history, and the people had been reading it. They troop ed to his support, and he was triumphantly reelected. Never had there been a political and per sonal victory 90 complete.
 But two years more of LaFol- lette in the executive chair at Madi. son was more than the railways could endure. Within that timehe would have them reduced to sub- iection and decency, the peoples rights would be established, and thereafter most anyone in the executive chair could keep them under control. So he must be got rid of. He must go to the United States senate. That was the only way to sidetrack him that was pos- slble. So Senator Quarles declined re election 10 the senate, and the very men who worked hardest to defeat LaFollete for the the gov ernorship, wrought with equal force and fervOr to make him United States senator. But when elected Governor LaFollete an- nouneed that as he had until the first Monday in December before his senatorial duties would com mence, he would remain in the goyernorship until then Ga period of q year) and devote his time to the duties he had undertaken in Wisconsin; and further, that when December came, if he thought that the work in Wisconsin was not be- yond danger of being undone, he would not qualify IS senator, but would continue to be governor, nnlsh up the work, and let s0me- one else go to the senate.

SENATE SLABS AT PRESIDENT
Would Take Control Of Canal Out OF
His Hands.

His Hands.
Washington, Feb. 18. - WlthouI
waiting for the Mann canal bill TO
come over from the house the senate
committee on interoceanic canals au-
thOrized Senator Kittredge to prepare
new bill for the committee and in
trOduce it into the senate, which was
done yesterday. The committee has
been sitting for several weeks, having
before it the Mann bill as originally
reported on Feb. 1. The Mann bill
provides practically for the repeal OF
that part of the canal act authorizing
the appointment of the isthmian canal
commission and fixing its duties and
powers. This section is eliminated
from the senate bill and the entire
question is covered in the first section
which extends the present canal act.
The bill introduced by Senator Kilt
redge follows out practically all the
remaining provisions of the Mann bill,
but provides also number OF new
features. One important change is in
the section which extends the author
ity now enjoyed by the president in
the canal zone. The senate bill ex-
tends this authority until the next
regular session Of congress, while the
Mann bill provides for an extension
until the end of the next congress.

TREMENDOUS ACTIVITY IN THE
WHEAT MARKET IN CHICAGO
AND NEW YORK.
WHEAT TIGHTLY C0RNERED
MANY A SMALL TRADER Is
PUSHED TO BRINK OF HIS
FINISH.

New York, Feb. IS. - The greatest
bull pool ever formed in the history of
the wheat market, headed by John
w. Gates and backed by $10O,000,000,
began active operations yesterday to
send May wheat up to $3.50 bushel.
Deeply interested in the pool are c.
H. Schwab, Daniel Reid, William Fl.
Moore and several others active in
Wall street. The present holdings of
the pool aggregate about $4,000 bush
els, of which 100000 are held in
New York.
AS result of the operations of the
pool there has been tremendous activ
ity in the wheat market in New York
and Chicago.
The present holdings of the pool
were purchased around $1.0S bushe!.
Yesterdays opening price was $1.1S 5-S
a bushel, with strong upward tend
ency.
Pool Reaps Fortune.
Wednesdays advance was about 2
cents bushel. which would in itself
give handsome profit to the mem
bers of the pool In view of the pres
ent condition of the wheat market,
however, the members of the pool are
expected to reap fortunes.
There are at present about 10000
bushels of contract wheat in the coun-
try, of which 100000 bushels are in
Chicago. Foreigners are short over
100000 bushels, and there is short
age of 50,OO0,00O bushels in the wheat
pit in Chicago.
The bulls are now asking the
shorts where they are to get the wheat
they have sold for May delivery. 1t
can only be secured in the pit, and If
the belief of the members of the pool
is justified, they will have fine oppor-
tunity to squeeze the shorts and send
up the price.

SERIOUS CHARGES ARE MADE
GOVERNOR ACCUSED OF UNLAW.
FULLY SHARING IN STATES
RECEIPTS.
INVESTIGATION is ORDERED
THE NAME OF GOV..ELECT DAW
SON is ALSO INVOLVED IN
CHARGES.

Charleston, w. Va, Feb. 19.-War is
on between the West Virginia legisla'
ture and Gov. A. B. White. ACCUSE
tions were poured forth by senators on
the floor of the senate yesterday
which, if su5stantiated, will result in
the impeachment of West Virginia's
governor. To this latter end reso
luton was adopted providing for an
investigating committee to probe the
charges made on the floor of the legis.
lature and discover whether or not
they were true. The members of the
investigating committee were then Sc
lected by tho senate.
The first boomb was dropped in the
senate by Senator Caldwell, against
charges in special message to the
senate last Wednesday. Caldwell in
speech which lasted nea"'y two hours,
said that Gov. White. was guilty of vio-
lation of law ard stated in powerful
TRADE the breaches of which he held
Gov White was guilty. He said that
White had shared in the enormous
lees WHlCu pun Sti JEW tllC OlilSC VI
secretary Of state.
Appointed by White.
Gov-elect Dawson is the present in
cumbent oof this office and was ap-
pointed to that position hw GCv. White.
Senator Caldwell also SAID that let
ter had been sent out BY John Baker
White, an attorney who is making
70
corporations incorporated under West
Virginia laws, offering to have their
license fees reduced by legislation for
a specified "rake-off," the "rake-off" to
be nominal retainer fee and one-half
of the amount of the reduction secured
on the tax. This scheme, Caldwell
said was backed by White and Daw-
son, and the "rake-off would amount to
$275,O0O should the plan prove sue
cessful.
Because he refused to indorse this
move, said Caldwell, the governor had
overstepped his constitutional priv
ileges by sending his special message
to the senate last Wednesday. This
message contained a newspaper clip
ping referring TO CalCWcll ana con-
tanned quotation alleged to have
come from a certain senator:
Get me $4,000 and l will get your
bill through
Clipping Sent Back.
This was used in reference to pend
ing medical legislation. The clipping
was found to be garbled. as portions
oof it which mentioned the name of
Dawson had been omitted. This was
returned to Gov. White by the senate
! with the demand to incorporate the
omitted portions relating to his sup
| porter, Gov. -elect Dawson.
An investigation resolution was in
troduced and adopted with an amend
ment that the Caldwell charges
against Gov White be also investiga
ted. Mr.. Caldwell in his remarks said
The sending of this special mes
sage was a direct slap in my face be
cause I would not support the admins
tration schemes. / now make these
charges against Gov. White and car
prove them at the proper time"
