SENATORIAL FIGHTS
DEVELOPING RAPIDLY
Deadlock Continues in Iowa
and Contests Grow
Warm in South.

Senatorial developments are occurring
rapidly in a number of States where
elections for one or more Senators are
pending
In Iowa, the situation has suddenly re-
solved itself into a deadlock, the solu-
ton of which is not yet in sight. Thir-
teen standpat members of the State
senate walked out of the Republican
caucus when the progressives proposed
to choose a committee with power to
call a caucus to nominate candidate
for United States Senator. The sixteen
progressives remained and chose the
committee. Thirty-five standpat mem
bers of the Legislature have signed an
agreement not TO go into caucus to Sc
Iect Senator. This makes caucus i'm
possible and the candidates will go into
the open session a week from Tuesday
II the situation remains as ii Is.
Senator Young is demanding special
primary and this may come about.
The Colt campaign managers in Rhode
Island have given out statement say
ing they have votes enough pledged to

those on his list and getting their votes
IN possible.
AS result the individual members
of the Chamber, who have not taken an
active part In the first vice presidency
campaign, have been deluged with re-
quests 20 vote for each candidate.
The Great Issue,
The issue which has aroused the
greatest interest and the greatest feel
ing is that of Mr.. Callahan's public
service corporation connections. The
Washington Times has pointed out the
necessity of keeping the Chamber of
Commerce free from even the possibility
OF control of any special interests, and
has called attention to the fact that
Clarence +. Norment is first vice preSi
dent of the steamboat company of
which Mr.. Callahan is general manager,
and Is president of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company, the sec
ond vice president of which Gen. George
II. Harries already is the head of one
commercial organization of Washington.
Members of the Chamber are consider
ing this issue seriously; on Tuesday
they will decide, by their ballots for
first vice president, whether they are
willing to have one representative of
the steamboat street railway interests
tion and another representative of the
same interests in the position of second
Importance and influence in the other
commercial organization.
Othor Issues Raised.
Other issues in the vice-presidency
campaign have been raised by the man
ayers of Mr.. Willige's and Mr.. Gala
hans candidates., respectively. Mr.. CAL
lahan's managers claim their candidate
is entitled to the first vice presidency on
the strength of his work in the Cham
her Of which he has been a director for
the past three years.
Mr.. WiIlige's managers come back at
this by showing that Mr.. Willige has
been an active member of the Cham
Der two years, and that, while he has
not been a director, he has rendered
valuable services from the ranks as
chairman and member of important
committees.

SEVERITY CRITICIZED.
Railroad Commission Is
Now Under Fire.

Boston, April ga criticism of the
state board of railroad commission is
contained in a report prepared by Gin
ron I'll Scovill aud submitted to the
legislature in message yesterday by
Governor Foss. Mr. Scoyill is one of
the experts delegated by the govern
or to inquire into the work OF certain
state commissions.
In his message Governor Foss says
that Nr, Scovill finds that when rail-
road petitions for the right to increase
its capital. the investigation which the
commissioners conduct into the merits
Of such petition is Inadequate" and that
Whenever a railroad petitions for new
capit1 subscriptions for obtaining new
equipment the commission should de.
termiue whether that money is current
ly needed for such new equipment"
The message continues
"In my Judgment the only remedy
is to ccntralize the work of supervising
public. service commissions in the hands
Of competent board of managers. with
broader powers, constituting a public
utilities board who shall be required to
devote their entire time to the service
of the state and held rigidly to account
for the full discharge of their duty"
