INTERESTS INSIST
ON RATE CHANGES
VIGOROUS ONSLAUGHT MADE ON
SENATE COMMITTEE FOR
SPECIAL PRIVILEGES.
ALDRlcH PREDICTS REVISION
WILL BE DOWNWARD WHEN
BILL is REPORTED.

Washington. April S.-Onslaughts
upon the senate committee on finance
by prominent members of congress
have become so vigorous since it be-
came known that the work of insert.
ing rates in the bill soon to be re.
ported, has actually begun, that there
is danger of revision being decidedly
of an inward trend, it is said, un.
less deaf ears aIe turned to the i'm.
portant interests.
Good progress is being made, and
Chairman Aldrich. said yesterday he
could predict that when the bill is
reported it will be seen that revision
has been downward, especially upon
the necessities of life.
1t is probable that the senate will
be in session Saturday in order to
receive the Payne bill from the house
Sessions of the finance committee
will then be held in order 10 take uI
amendments that may have been de
cided upon and send the bill to the
printing office. Democratic members
Of the committee will be called in and
an effort made to obtain an agree
ment with them that will permit the
reporting of the bill by Tuesday.
Many demands upon the finance
committee for changes in the Payne
rates or for revision of certain para
graphs of the Dingley law were made
yesterday. Ohio coal producers, man.
ufacturers Of pottery, and makers OF
woolens were among those heard yes
terday.

Madison April 5

Madison April 5.
Uncertainty still attends the situa.
tion resulting from the election for
state superintendent on Tuesday Re
turns have been meager, in lact, not
much more is known OF the results
than early yesterday Mr.. Cary's
friends claim his reelection BY a
small plurality and the returns so far
available seem to justify the claim.
Mr.. Cary last night refused to make
a statement, preferring to wait until
more definite information is at hand.
Evidently the claim for Mr.. Cary's
election is based upon the over
whelming vote which he received in
Milwaukee county. his plurality there
being more than 1000. This, with
substantial plur&,itics in many other
sections, gives him an advantage that
will not be easily overcome.
Hooper ran Especially strong In the
northern part of the state. His home
city of Ashland gave him a handsome
endorsement by casting over 1900
votes for him against $50 for the other
three candidates combined In other
parts of the state Hooper showed re-
markable strength.
The systematic campaign carried
on by Mr. Wood among the farmers
told in the rural districts. The farm
ers voted strongly for the Neillsville

intended 20 deliver the republican
