The PILOT, takes great pleasure in
doing what it can to secure the nomina-
ton of Mr. Brown as it recognizes in
him man eminently qualified to fill
that honorable position. The PILOT
will go further than that and say,
should Mr.. Brown receive the nomina-
ton and be elected, ne will prove one
of the ablest senators ever sent from
Wisconsin. He has the ability, is an
orator and is honest and perfectly fear
less and, with it all, is in the very prime
of life He is the senior member of the
well known law firm CT Brown, Pradt,
Genrich & Anderson, and as lawyer
ranks with the leaders of the bar. He
is also member of the Wausau Law
and Land association.
Mr.. Brown has represented Marathon
county in the assembly for two years
and in the state senate for four years.
In 1889 he was the unanimous choice of
the democrats of the legislature for
United States Senator. IN 1890 he de-
clined the nomination for congress,
which was equivalent to an election,
and in 1894 was chairman OF the Wis
consin delegation to the democratic
national convention at st. Louis.

Another Statement From the Presi-
dent Is Expected.

Washington. June s.-President
Roosevelt, it is generally believed
here, is about to issue another state
ment declaring himself irrevocably
out of the running for a renomina-
ton.
The announcement, in the form of a
letter, will declare that Mr.. Roose-
welt will not accept if nominated, and
will not campaign if the nomination is
forced upon him.
According to the rumors this letter
will be made public before the end of
this week and will be designed solely
to prevent a stampede in the Chicago
convention for Roosevelt and against
Taft.
The president told Governor Glenn
| of North Carolina, that he will SURELY
become private citizen on March

with the presidents stand against a

sion made last week for the first time

CREAMERY RATE FIGHT.
Will Open Before Interstate Com
merce Commission on Wednesday.

Chicago, June Sixteen of the
largest manufacturers of butter in
the United States will open their fight
against the proposed advance of
freight rates on cream and milk be-
fore the Interstate Commerce COM
mission next Wednesday. The aver
age increase in tariffs is from SIS to
125 per cent. "A butter famine is
promised should their fight fail.
The railroads will contest the claims
of the butter makers, declaring that
the new schedule is only fair.
The manufacturers represent plants
worth $10,0O0,000. They annually
put out $50 million pounds of butter,
more than one-quarter of the total
production of the United States; pay
the farmers of the Mississippi valley
states s50.000,000 a year for cream
and expend more than $1,500,000 a
year on railroad freight rates.
A disturbance of the rates that have
been in effect for IS years, it is alleged
| not only imperils the millions in
vested in creamery plants, and cream
receiving stations in Kansas, Neb-
| raska, Missouri. Iowa, Illinois, South
Dakota, Wisconsin, Indiana and
other states, but would cause an ac-
tual loss to them of more than
100000 annually.

RATES TO STAND
Railroads Give Up Plan for Gen.
eral Increase
Reach Conclusion That 1t
Would Be Bad Policy.
BETTER CONDITIONS.
Both Freight and Passenger
Revenues Increasing.
Proposed Cut in Wages Has Also
Been Abandoned.

Washington, June S.-No general
increase in freight rates is likely to
be made by the railroads of the
country in the near future If it is to
be made at all Certainly nothing will
be done before autumn, and it is I'M
likely now that anything approximat-
ing a general increase will be at
tempted then. At recent meeting
of presidents and operating officials
of important railroads held in New
York, it was the consensus of opinion
that it would be undesirable II not
absolutely impracticable to put In
effect at this time an increase or
freight rates. Opinion at the meeting
was divided, but the majority IN
clined to the view that it would be
bad policy and bad business at this
1uncture to attempt an increase OF
rates.
1t was pointed out that the pro-
posed increase in time OF depres-
sion, would tend rather to increase
freight stagnation than to stimulate
freight movement. Such a result
would be of only additional dis
advantage to the carriers, the opinion
being general that 1t would not induce
increased revenues.
Most of the officials who attended
the meeting indicated a belief that
railway business conditions were i'm
proving The freight revenues-and
the passenger revenues. too-show a
notable increase in the last month
over the preceding three months
and a general revival of business in
all industrial branches was reported
from every part of the country.
The Judgment was expressed thai
II business conditions did not continue
to show improvement it would bt

some methods of protecting the in

two methods suggested themselves.
No Out in Wages.
An increase of freight rates and
decrease in wages of employees. 1t i
quite certain that neither will be re
sorted to before the first of next DC
tober and important officials believe
will not be necessary then to resort t
either of the methods named.
In some unaccountable way the re
port became general among shippers
particularly those of the middle ives
and south, that the president and til
Interstate commerce commission ha
given their approval to the suggeste
increase in freight rates. Regardless
