WOOL GROWER GETS 81.
Out of $4,000 Paid for Suit of
Clothes.

Omaha. Dec. 15.-'A wool tariff
that will protect" was the subject of
an address of f. A. Fleetwood of Red
Bluff, California, at the second days
session of the National Wool Growers
4Sth annual convention. Mr.. Ellen
woods address was in the nature of
a protest against what he represented
as unfair treatment of the wool grow
err by the manufacturer. He pro-
duced figures to show that the So
called Compensatory duty" on wooden
clothes intended only to repay the
manufacturer for the money paid by
him either as duty on imported wool
or in advanced price for domestic wool
owing to the tariff, is too high, be-
cause it is based on the false assump-
ton that the duty on first grade wool
is equal to 33 cents a pound computed
on a secured basis.
He also complained that the COM
pensatory duty is paid on goods only
a small portion of which is of wool,
thus giving the manufacturer an adj
vantage to which he is not entitled.
The present law is based on the
supposition that grease wool shrinks
two-thirds of it's weight in securing

KANSAS FOR TAFT.
ID. w. MuIvane says Delegates Will Be
for President.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 15.-Reit-
Kansas several days ago, David w.
Mulvane, Republican national commit
teeman from Kansas, declares Presi-
dent Taft will have a solid delegation
from that state in the next Republican
convention. 1t matters not, he says,
whether the presidential primary or
the older plan is used.
ut is pretty well understood in our
state that Governor Stubs will issue a
call this month for a special session
of the legislature to meet early in Jan
uary," he said. 1.-THE object of the
extraordinary session. [ understand, is
to pass a presidential preference pri-
mary law If such law is seriously
considered, why wouldn't it be a good
plan to pass at the same time an
amendme nt to our present primary
law requiring registration at which
every voter must declare his party af-
filiatiOns. If this is done it would pre-
vent Democrats voting for Republican
primary candidates. That has been
done in Kansas and it should be
stopped
'tWho, in your opinion, has a better
chance for the senatorship, Stubs or
Curtis, provided the legislature is not
Democratic ?" Mr.. Mulvane was asked.
Il should say Curtis, but don't con-
slider he has cinch. I would say
Curtis positively if the 4affiliation'
amendment is inserted in the primary
law. There never has been any doubt
that Kansas is Republican, but it is
not easy to beat insurgents and Demo-

Kansas City, Dec. 15.-Theodore N
Vail, president of the American Tele-
phone & Telegraph Co. and the West
ern Union Telegraph Co, speaking at
luncheon before Kansas City bust
ness men declared himself in favor of
the regulation of public utilities by
state and national commissions.
Il always have believed in the regu-
lation of utilities by the state and ma
tional commissions, Mr.. Vail said
THE arbitrary treatment of customers
by utility corporations is antiquated
and out of fashion. 1t is my personal
belief, after 80 years of observation,
that we are on the threshold of more
wonderful developments. Nothing is
needed more than state and national
regulation of all public utilities. No
state produces a man too great to
serve on a public utilities commission.

Special Session Sentiment Not
So Strong.

no hint one way or the other That he
has seriously considered the matter
there is no doubt. But if he mas reach

himself When the first talk about the
special session was started few people
thought the governor would call one
There was no emergency that seemed
to warrant that expense. But later 1t
was agreed that he was thinking pretty
seriously about it and the betting
was to 1 in favor of a special ses-
sion. Now the betting has veered to
odds of 3 to 2 against it.
That is not big odds and there may
yet be a special session. But those
close to the governor are now guessing
the other way Even Stubs friends,
are agreed that it would be dangerous
for Stubs and for his party
1t would afford the regulars chance
to harass Stubbs and his policies. 1t
would give the Democrats a chance to
block the work and point, during the
coming campaign, to nothing accom-

A fruitless special session would be
nuts and pie fo- the Democrats next
year.

nomination for governor and with a

dates for office on the same question.
He found four state officials who be-
lieve Billiard will be nominated and he
found five Republican leaders and
candidates who rather expect Billiard
to carry the primary. 1t is hard to !
