Chicago, Jan. 30.-The head camp of
the Modern Woodmen of America
adopted the proposed ~readjustment
plan, increasing the life insurance
rates of the society, and closed the
adjourned regular meeting here. The
Measure was carried by a vote of 46O
to 2O7.
The %re-rating proposal was made by
the head officers after notice from 16
states that they had adopted a uniform
fraternal insurance bill which had
been drafted by state insurance ex-
perts at Mobile Ala, and thereafter
known as the Mobile bill. This no
tice warned the society that cer0in
requirements would be made before
a continuation of business would be
permitted. "e
Figures showing the condition of the
society were prepared by head Off
GERS and the statement was made that
in 1914, under present plans, the lodge
would be unable to pay $780, 600, 900
of it's liabilities, or about $685. of a

Il have been aware for nearly a

reason why Governor Wilson broke
with Colonel Harvey was because Mr..
Harvey tried to bring Mr.. Thomas r.
Ryan to the governors campaign. But
until o gave credence to the story
it could not be invested with any re.
sponsible authority. It's origin was
mysterious, it's circulation surrepti-
tious. Consequently there has been
up to this time nothing either to deny
or recognize.
Now, senator, I know of my own
knowledge that story is a lie made
out of the whole cloth. If any person
ventures to question this assertion, I

a Democrat. He is a Virginian. He
is my friend. Knowing him to be a

him to help out what 1 believed, a

whatever to do with it, and, as far as

about it.
Throughout this unhappy affair l
