Many Senators to Speak in Honor
of Great lowan
SPEAKERS OF BOTH PARTIES
cummins, Burrows, cIapp, cullom.
Tillman and Gore on List
Young Also Will Speak,
10 Present.

Washington. D. c.. Feb.14.-A long
list Of senator's will be heard in the
senate next Saturday in eulogy OF
former Senator Dolliver. The CON-
plete list has not yet been arranged
but 1t has been partly made up.
Among those who will speak will be
Senators Cummins, Burrows, Clapp.
La Toilette and Young. If Mr.. Young
Is present.
These are all republicans. On the
democratic side Senator Gore, the
blind Oklahomaian, and Senator Till
man will speak, and several others.
In this list of men are some whose
relations with Senator Dolliver were
peculiarly close and peculiarly affec-
tionate. Senator Cullom, for instance.
the aged veteran. from Illinois, had
formed close acquaintance with
Senator Dolliver through service on
interstate commerce committee; SEN
ator Clapp and Senator Dolliver
fought through the great fight in the
interstate commerce committee on
the Hepburn rate measure, meas
ure that, while 1t is not now called
by his name, was in a large measure
shaped by Delivers work and ei-
forts. Senator Burrows, though be
and Dolliver differed in view, espec-
tally in later years, was another warm
friend of Delivers. They served to
gether on the privileges and elections
committee.
Senator LaFollette's relations with
Dolliver were extremely close. Both
had served in the house and knew
each other in that body, and when
Deliver went over to the progress
sive side and joined hands with La
Toilette in the fight made by the Wis
consin senator against the rule of the
machine leaders in Washington. the
two men grew very close together.
LaFollette was closer to Dolliver
than to any of the other progressive
senators.
Senator Tillman is now growing
old and feels 1t. His recent illnesses
have left him only the wreck of what
he once was. No more is seen the
sight OF the once famous pitchfork
waving about the chamber in fierce
attack on anything in sight. Some
how the relations between Tillman
and Dolliver were remarkably affec-
Tomato In the fight over the rate
law, Tillman stood by Dolliver.
though it was Tiilman whom AID
rich and others picked to bring ont
the rate bill from the committee for
the purpose of robbing Dolliver Of
the credit.
Senator Gore is one of the most
progressive of the democrats, and 10
In hearty sympa ny with the views
which Senator Dolliver in his closing
years strongly supported.
Altogether 1t will be collection
of eulogies of unusual interest in
honor of one of the most remarkable
figures who has ever sat in the SEN
ate.

KILL PRIMARY BILL
Harding Special Primary Measure
Defeated in Both Houses
VOTE IN THE HOUSE SO TO 80
Substitute for Smiths Oregon Plan
Measure Laid Out in the Senate
BY Vote Of 81 to 16-SpeeiaI
Measure Is Killed.

Des Moines, Iowa.-In both houses
of the assembly the special primary
bill went down to defeat.
In the house the special primary
bill introduced by Representative
Harding, was voted down by a vote
Of 3S to 32. 1t was killed wholly by
republicans, for not a single demo
crat voted on the proposition.
In the senate the special primary
bill was up in the form of a substi-
tute for the Oregon plan. The bill
was offered by Senator Adams and
was identical with the Harding bill.
1t was defeated by a vote of 81 to
16. The democrats aided In killing
the substitute because it threatened
the life Of the oregon plan bill, Of
fered as it was for substitute.
With the democratic members OF
the house refusing to take part In
the vote on Representative Harding's
special primary bill, the measure was
defeated by vote of the republican,
representatives. Thirty-two members
of the house voted for the bill and
thirty-eight voted in opposition to it.
BY previous agreement, the demo
Gratis had decided to let the republi-
can party settle the dispute between
the two factioas of the majority of
the house.
Representative Harding of Wood
bury made his closing argument In
favor of his measure. He attacked the
arguments made in opposition to the
proposed law and urged the submits
sion of the senatorial question to the
people. He denied his bill was writ
ten for the benefit of any one candi-
date for the office of United States
senator. He also refuted the state
ments made to the effect that the
special primary law conflicts with
the Oregon plan law. He declared
the passage of the special primary
would give an opening to allow the
general assembly to discontinue the
daily ballots on the senatorship
