DAY At THE HELM

From Mondays Daily. ~

Nothing succeeds like success, says
The st. Paul Dispatch. This may be
the reason that Frank, A. Day will re-
main at the head of he.democfatic state
central committee, and yet lit may, be
simply because of Days well known pow
ers of fascination.
Last summer a powerful wing of the
party was OH Mr.. Days trail and moth
ing but his scalp would satisfy it.
There was truce and it was agreed
that he should stay at the helm until
after election, when his resignation
would be Forthcoming.
The Ramsey county contingent was
perhaps, the most insistent upon depos-
ing of the Martin county statesman, but
it evidently underwent a change of heart
and at noon, Saturday, announced that
not only would it withdraw it's pursuit
of Mr. Day, but would. vote against ac'
cepting his resignation. D. 3.@a F'al2
Whether it was the sweeping victory
for Gov. Johnson or the humiliating de-
feat of iHearstism that brought about
the change,anone would say; but it was
there. and when the committee met later
in the afternoon, Day was left i'll undis-
puted command. The Day cohorts said
it made no difference whether the change
of front had been made or not, as he
had enough support to sweep off the
face of the earth any opposition that
might raise it's head.
Day had at least twenty proxies, but
declared he would make no use of them
in his own behalf.

TWO DECISIONS BY
RATE COMMISSION
LEWISTON TO GET STATION Ac-
coMMoOATIoNs.
ZINC COMPANY CASE FAILS
Mineral Point & Northern a New,
Money-Iosing Line and Reduction
of Rates Would Not Be Warranted
Charge of Unreasonably High
Tariffs Not Sustained.

The state railroad rate commission
yesterday decided two actions, the
subjects of recent hearings before the
commission. Lewiston is to have sta.
ton service and the Sandoval Zinc Co
will not get the reduced rate it de
mands.
Edward w. Guildner of Lewiston
made complaint against the Milwau
kee road, alleging that his commun.
ity was worked a serious hardship
by reason of the refusal of the com.
pany to provide adequate railroad ia
cilities at the place Residents, who
have large dairy interests, had to
haul their milk and cream nine miles
to Kilbourn, this long distance result
ing in the spelling of much of the
valuable product The complaint was
made May II and a hearing thereon
was held before the commission juno
10. The railroad company was rep.
resented by Attorney c. E. Vroman
and the Lewiston people by the COM
plainant and F. J. Freemore After
hearing the facts of the case the com.
mission decided that it would not
be warranted in requiring the COM
pany to establish a side track and
station with an agent at Lewiston,
but that two passenger trains, Nos Z
and 5, should be stopped there each
4
also that the compan~ contin-
ne to stop freight train
each way each day, but no train
whatever need be stopped on Sunday.
The company is to keep a record Of
the business done under these new
orders and the commission suggests
that in the event that not enough
transportation results to warrant the
added expense of the increased sery-
ice, a motion will be entertained to
revoke these orders.
The Sandoval Zinc Co., of Chicago,
mad complaint against the Mineral
Point & Northern road, alleging that
this company charged 60 cents PEI
ton for service that cost the company
less than 25 cents. in a joint rate ar
rangement with the Milwaukee and
Northwestern roads, the haul being
from the Wisconsin zinc region to
Peru and La Sale, III. The company
denied this allegation. A hearing
was had yesterday. The commission
held that as this company was a new
and struggling line, losing money, it
was hardly charging more than COM
pensatory rates. The company's
gross earnings in year were S2S,900,
its fixed charges $4,000, interest $14,-
900 and a deficit remained of $4,000.
The complaint was dismissed.
