The real sensation of the final squirt
for the city election results today is
the announcement from the headuuar-
tiers of r. L. Cofran for mayor that the
entire representation of the unsuccess-
full candidates in the primaries have
promised their support and will WORK
against Billiard for reelection This
means that the votes of nearly 5000
persons will be stacked up against
the mayors strength of $500 as far as
representation is concerned Of course,
all students of Topeka city politics
know that the total strength of the
eliminated candidates for mayor will
not go to COfran, but the assurance
given him from the leaders of the
other factions will amount to no small
vote in the election Tuesday.
Mayor Billiard is not worrying over
this unlocked for strength in the OPP
posing forces. He figures that if he
receives one out of three of all the
outstanding votes in the election he
will win by a good margin. As last
resort he says he will be satisfied with
one out of four of the votes cast
for other candidates or enough to give
him safe majority.
Wake Up Dormant Vote.
On the other hand Cofran is claim
vote that went to eliminated candi-
dates but he is beginning a campaign
to awaken the dormant vote of 5000
that did not make itself known at the
polls Monday. He has a lead of 2,2S4
to overcome and he has enlisted not
only the support of his voters but was
promised a city wide campaign by rs
men from all factions, classes and
business who held a meeting in his
favor last night.
1t means that the election Tuesday
and the campaign this week will be
one of the most exciting in years.
Billiard is confronted with the only
candidate he feared in the primaries
and when Mayor Billiard fears an op-
ponent for reelection as mayor in
Topeka-there is a reason.
Wild Rumors Out Today
Cofran today is the SCAT of score
of rumors which, if true, would result
in a reaction on his support All have
been denied emphatically The most
persistent is the report that Governor
Hodges is backing the Cofran campaign
in an effort to fight the Billiard can
didacy. 1t is said that he fears Billiard
will win the nomination from him two
years hence. Another vindication of
the mayors record as mayor in Topeka
would bring him added strength
throughout the state is said to be one
of the views of the governor
Then there is rumor which brings
out that time worn police department
trouble-the appointment of r. w.
Eaton as chief if Cofran is elected This
political sand bag has been pulled on
candidates for several years-it is not
out of place in the present campaign.
The only statement in relation to the
support that would be given Cofran in
the last few days of the campaign came
today from ]. w. F. Hughes, who stood
third in the race for mayor in the pri-
mar1es and who holds an enviable rec
ord for popularity in Topeka. Here is
what he said:

the criminal assignment going to the first

civil assignment being scattered out, and
the cases being fewer in number.

sugar in 1916.

For the First limo In Many Years
Democrats Control.
Elements in the extra session Of con.
gress are unusual. President Wilson
has called the great body together at a
time when his party mas absolute con-
troll of every branch Of the govern
ment relating to legislation.
This has not been the case before In
twenty years. During that period OF
long ago when the Democrats were In
power President Cleveland called an
extra session. but the conditions were
vastly different from now.
The extra session under President
Wilson is remarkable because the law
makers to q large extent are men OF
comparatively recent rise to promi-

Democratic party Is providing change

In sixteen years great interest Is CEN

Virtually a new generation of legis-
lators has sprung up. With but a very
few exceptions there are no men who
figured in congressional doings OF
twenty years ago who are sharing the
responsibilities of the body now.
OF only one thing has the public been
absolutely certain. and that Is that the
tariff would be first and foremost
among the subjects for work by the
legislators. and that revision downward
would be the purpose. The legislators
themselves have not known just now

and that the revenue would not be suf-

Washington, April 8.--The democra-
tic party in full possession of the exc
cutive and legislative branches of the
national government turned the wheels
of legislation toward revision of the
tariff.
Leaders of the house presented to
the country tariff bill, voluminous
in detail and radical in its proposed
reduction of existing duties. AS a
whole it was the product Of debate and
study by the democrats from the time
house two years ago, but it repre-
scented particularly the conclusions Of
the house ways and means committee
after several months of work. 1t car
ried also the approval of the president.
No conclusion has been reached by
President Wilson as to procedure in
adopting the bill. He is still on the
fence as to whether it will be intro
duced as one bill or schedule by sched-
ule. 8
Reductions Are Sweeping.
Removal of all tariff from many
articles Of food and clothing; broad
reductions in the rates Of duty on all
neeessaries of life; an increase of tar
iff on many luxuries, and new in
come tax that would touch the pocket
Of every American citizen whose net
income exceeds $4,000, are the striking
features Of the bill.

the bill! proposing an immediate 25 per
cent reduction and the removal of the
remaining duty in 1916.
Raw wool would be made free at
once, with correspondingly heavy re-
duction in the tariff on all wooden
goods.
Many Articles on Free List.
All these other articles are put on
the free list-namely:
Meats, flour, bread. boots and shoes.
lumber. coal, hairless, saddlery. iron
ore. milk and cream, potatoes, salt.
swine. corn corn meal, cotton bagging.
agricultural implements, leather, wood
pulp. bibles, printing paper not worth

broom handles, clapboards, hubs for
wheels, posts. iaths, -pickets, slaves.
shingles.
While wheat flour is put on the free
list. a duty of 10 per cent is imposed
against countries which levy duty on
American flour. This will exclude flour
from Canada and many other coun-
tries.
These principal items are taken from
the free list and taxed: Rough and I'M
cut diamonds and precious stones,
furs, coal tar products 10 per cent,
volatile oils 20 per cent. spices from 1
cents to cents pound.
Table Shows Big Decreases.
Chairman Underwood of the ways
and means committee, in his statement
accompanying the new tariff bill. gave
the following comparative table to
show reductions in tariff duties made
upon necessaries. In each item both
the present tariff and the proposed
tariff had been reduced to an ad
