PLANS Of
DEMOCRATS
HOUSE WILL GIVE REPUBLICAN
SENATE IMPORTANT MEAS.
URES FOR ACTION
NO Rider FOR TREATY

|. Washington, April 1O.-Legisiative
plans of the Democratic majority of
liable source, indicate that the Re-
publican Senate will be given speedi-
ly important measures for action.
The definite outline, subject to
further caucus ratification, lists as fol-
lows:
The order of legislation to be
pushed forward by the Ways and
Means Committee as soon as the
House organization is completed:
Popular election of United States
Senators.
Publicity before elections of cam
paisn contributions.
Statehood for Arizona and New
Mexico
Canadian reciprocity.
Revision of schedule K, the wool
schedule of the Payne-Aldrich bill.
Revision of the cotton schedule.
Beyond this the present program
does not extend, other tariff matters
and general subjects being left for
fruther consideration, dependent
great deal upon time.
1t has also practically been decided
that the Canadian reciprocity bill to
be brought forward by Chairman
Underwood will be almost an exact
duplicate of the Mccall bill 1t will
carry no tariff rider.
Leading Democrats, when asked
what they would do if the Senate i'm
mediately passed the Canadian reci-
prociety bill and then indicated it's
readiness to adjourn, declared that
the House would not adjourn. The
Democratic leaders expressed conf
dence that the President would not
exercise his authority to adjourn the
extraordinary session should a dis
pute arise between the two houses of
the Congress over adjournment.

Double votes Saturday.
To-day The Times announces anoth-
er offer. It will be known as the
Double Vote Offer, and is good for
one day only, next Saturday, April
18th. and means that for each and
every subscription turned In ON that
day the Contest Department will issue
lust double the usual number of
votes This offer will be ia effect all
day Saturday and until 8 p. IN. and
candidates should work hard all the
week for the big day of double votes.
The attention Of candiaates and
the announcement of the voting sche-
dule for the different periods of the
contest is asked.
By glancing over the schedule else
where you will also note the an
nouncement of the divisions of the re-
naming days of the contest into diff,
ferent leriods with a vote schedule
for each period.
Saturday the votes are 100 per cent
over the regular scale, next week they
will be but so per cent more than
the regular scale, the week after that,
but 25 per cent more than the regu-
lar scale, while the last week of the
contest the regular scale Of votes win
prevail.
We told you last week that never
again during the contest would you
be able to secure so many votes for
club Of subscriptions. When we
told you that we meant exactly what
we said. We propose to keep our
word. This is not quite as good as
the one last week
Candidates should work as they
nave never worked before
From this schedule it is hardly
necessary for us to point out the adj
Vantages of securing every possible
subscription for Saturday.

8 We take the following from the
=Goldsboro correspondent of The News
and Observer:
'In q recent issue of The Old Re
ent says. in regard to four-club
league for Eastern North Carolina:
"'Goldsboro has had nothing to say
on this four-club proposition, much to
the surprise of maAy in this city; but
still quieter yet have been the fans
in Raleigh, who will not even let one
word about baseball venture from
their lips nor creep into the papers.
Rocky Mount is ready and willing to
play organized baseball another year;
and While six-cIub league is more
acceptable, four will do, and it>won't
take any coaxing and persuading to
place a franchise in this city
Some mistake about the above
statement, for it has not only been in
print, but is an assured fact that
GoIdsboro is in favor of either a six
or four club league, and are anxiousIy
waiting for some one to start the bali
rolling, and the soonei the >perter, for
the time is drawing nearer and near
er every day.
'<If Wilson and Raleigh want four
club league, all they have to do is to
get together and say SO, nave meet
ing called at an early date, and Colds
boro will then join hands in making
the circuit complete.
"sBut the main point is to start
early and get together. Much work
must be done before the league can
be properly launched. A schedule
must be adopted, the four clubs form
ed, officers elected, and chief Of all,
rules for the guidance of the league
must be drafted.
"Once again we say it is up to Will
son and Raleigh, for Goldsboro is
ready to play ball"

The Times believes it car safely

The trouble is you can't know

that you were on the scene Saturday

would be more reassuring if you did
not know that nearly every one else

proved that there was to be no walk
