NATION SEARCHED FOR
CAMPAIGN THUNDER
Republican Congressional Com
mittee Sends Feelers" Into
Every Northern Camp.
BY w. w. Jermane.

Washington, May 5.-The republican
party, thru its congressional campaign
committee, has just begun system
attic effort at ascertaining what is the :
state of public and party sentiment in
all the states regarding the leading
questions which are likely to figure In #
this year s campaign. "a
A series of questions, the work Of $
experts, and filling long typewriter
page, has been prepared and is now be-
ing mailed to the chairmen of republic1 4
an state. congressional, county, city d
and other committees. AS fast as re-
plies are received they are to be tabs
ulated. Such a thoro canvass OF the
country it is said has never been be-
fore attempted in an off year.
The congressional committee wants E
to know what is the strength of thee
public ownership movement; what parts
| of the voters really favor tariff revi,4
sion, and how the country stands genJS
orally on the so-called radical issues Of !
the day.
The inquiry, of course, will not be
| extended to the solid' south, but
| every other section is to be covered
| carefully. IS
| The circular letter asked for the
names of all candidates for congress
and possible candidates for the senate,
the names of.republican newspapers and
of leading party workers. =
After the necessary information has
been secured and compiled it will bah
turned over to republican members OF !
the house and thru them to party Leads
ers generally, and an effort then will be-
made. thru speeches and campaign 1itsa
erature, to meet the conditions as they
exist in each congressional district. s
IT,. for instance, public ownership is,
found to. be the leading issue in eer4.
tain district. the tariff in another, and
general radicalism in a third, the con-
l,gressional committee will. select the
lspeakers who are to go into these dis
tricts, as well as the general literature
accordingly. ---s = .s
The work is being done secretly in a
measure, and members of the congress;
sional committee have not felt that the-
roundup should become public property;
until later in the year at least.

one for grain dealers and growers alike.
An effort will be made to correct GER
tain transportation abuses to which the
farmers in the central and southern
part Of the state have been subjected:
Iowa grain; has gone by way of the gulf
ports. -. In an effort to regain their lost
traffic, shippers charge that the Chi
cago railroads have put every possible
obstacle in the way of producers who
are seeking an outlet to the southern
terminals.
The, southern market on the better
grades of corn and oats is from one
half to 2 cents higher than the prices

Chicago and the eastern seaboard.
The convention program will dea
largely with the methods employed by
the Chicago roads to .froce grain traffic
to the eastern market. Delays in tran
sit and at terminals and failure t.
furnish ears for, shipments to junction
points with southern lines are some 81
the annOyances which are said to be in
f1icted on the Iowa shippers. The rail
roads realize rate of Is cents hun
dred on shipments by the way of Chi
cage, while the short haul to kansa,
City or Omaha nets only 5 to 5 cents.
The grain dealers hope to correct tn.
abuses by giving them publicity and t,
force the railroads to remove the re
strictions on southern shipments or t,
make thru tariff arrangements whicl
will make the southern haul profitable
for the originating line. The program

SLEEPING SICKNESS
KILLING |. THOUSANDS
Dread Beriberi and Plague Claim
Hundreds Every Day
in India.

London, May 5.-Medical science
seems powerless to stem the progress Of
two terrible scourges, the plague and
the sleeping sickness, or beriberi, which
are killing thousands in India and
tropical Africa.
Mr.. White, chief Of the scientific de-
partment Of the colonial office, thinks
the spread of the disease is chiefly due
to the increased facilities of transport
under British rule. The natives are
now constantly moving and spreading
disease from one section to another,
whereas, in the old days they did not
move far from the native villages.
Then a man who was attacked with the
disease was taken to q forest and killed.
During March, in India, the plague
increased rapidly in every province and
reappeared in a district from which 1t
was supposed to have been banished
Bengal has reported 5000 deaths {;
week, and Calcutta had forty deaths in
one day. Bombay has $50 deaths every
day.
Matters are equally bad in the cen
| trail provinces, in spite of the splendid
efforts to crush the disease by segrega
ton, incubation, etc: FIJI -. ~.
The sleeping sickness is proving
| where the natives are dying by tn.
4 thousands. British Central Africa ii
threatened, and there is every reason
to fear the disease in time will reacl
the thickly populated country.
