The new commercial department OF
the gas company IL the chief cause OF

company, In order to increase its sale
Of gas, is selling stoves and fixtures at

Many merchants have built MP large
businesses in fixtures and appliances

Now, after their bustpesses have been

companies come into their field and
threaten practically to wipe them out

TARIFF LOBBYISTS.
POURING IN FOR
EXTRA SESSION
Ways and Means Committee Will
Take Up Wool Schedule First and
Agents Work Hard To Obtain
Hearings.
Democrats Will Act on Reciprocity
and Other Matters and Groom
Themselves for 1912.

WASHINGTON, April 3.-The van
guard of what promises to be the big
gest group OF tariff lobbyists ever In
attendance on congress, arrived today
for the opening Of the special session
tCanorrow
- Though the Democratic idea is for
schedule by schedule revision, with
the Inference that only Legislative
workers for certain schedules would
be plying their trade, It developed to-
day that there will be more agents at
work than during the session that
framed the Payne bill.
Primarily. all lobbyists are working
TO secure hearings before the ways
and means committee. Chairman Un-
derwood has announced that the wool
schedule will be taken up first. IL Is
believed that cotton, steel and sugar
schedules will be taken up soon.
Schedule X as the wool section Is
called, aroused more opposition from
progressives and Democrats during It's
passage as a part OF the Payne bill,
than any other schedule. The rates
have been pronounced "Indefensible"
by President Taft. A bitter fight
seems certain.
Getting Ready for 1912.
The Democratic party Is today being
groomed for it's greatest race-the
White House handicap.
A triumphant Democratic majority
in the house today is filling its lungs
for the shout OF Joy which VIII be let
loose tomorrow when one Of its num-
ber takes the speakers chair and the
Republicans become the minority.
Upon the record which the Demo
Gratis in the house make between now
and November, 1912, the leaders be-
lieve depends the result or the white
House race. They are going TO work
IN desperate earnest from now on.
William Jennings Bryan Is here today,
and will be present tomorrow. Gov.

candidate for president, Is also on
hand.

would not mind being considered as
