of persons ignorant of the rudiments
of sanitary science, as no qua1ifica-

can Sugar Refining company in 1887,
when II refineries Joined, was to put on
their feet a number of refineries that
had been operating at loss.
NO PROFITS FOR YEARS.
He said the companies had been
working without profits for years. The
cost of the production Of refined sugar

to come to a vote in that body today.
At the last session of congress a sim
liar measure failed of passage by a
narrow margin.
NEW BLOOD IN SENATE.
Since then the movement has gained
strength through the advent of new
senators and the prediction was made

vision for federal control of elections
did much to defeat the measure before.

Washington, June 12.-While sup
porting the general proposition for

day Senator McCumber of North Da-
kota contended its enactment into
law would not prove the panacea ex-
pected by most people He predicted
that in escaping the evils of legis-
lative corruption, there was posi-
bility of entering into a field of
equally insidious danger and broader
opportunities for the corruptionist.
DANGER IN TWO CAMPAIGNS.
McCumber feared danger in popu-
lar primaries involving two cam
paigns, as he said they would. He
added that an election under such
conditions would cause such great
expense that only the millionaire or
demagogue could afford to be a can
didate.
