WASHINGTON, March 9.-The ad
ministration revenue program to pro
vide an additional $2,000,000 annual
income for the government. is to be
included in single gigantic bill and
rushed through congress under party
whip and spur. Conferences of con.
gressional leaders have determined
on tentative plan for disposing of
the government financial troubles at
one swoop.
A preliminary survey of appropria-
tions has convinced the leaders that
it will be necessary to raise about
$200,000,00O rather than the $12.000,-
0O0 asked by the president early in
the session. Last years total appro-
priations were $1,1114,937,0 ,012.

Final Results Tomorrow.
Because many election officials fail
ed to count the second choice votes
there has been great delay from some
quarters of the state. Failure to count
the second choice votes meant that
they had their tasks to do over again,
and it probably will be tomorrow
night before all the official count is
heard from.
Warren T. McCray, who made the
race for the Republican gubernatorial
nomination, in a statement published
today, admits his defeat at the hands
OF James p. Goodrich. 1t is estimated
that Goodrich will have a majority Of
nearly 10000 votes.
Adair Still Ahead.
AS the reports come in from all
parts of the state, the Democratic stu
alton had not changed. J. A. M. Adair
Is so far to the front in the race for

what Vote Means.
In 1914 there were total of 42,100
votes cast in the Sixth district for the
Republican, Democratic and Progres
sive candidates for congress. Esti.
mating the vote cast last Tuesday for
Carter, the Progressive congressional
candidate, at 1000, which is probably
excessive, there were only 29.839 votes
cast at the primary election Tuesday.
1t is believed that seventy per cent
of the Sixth district voters who did
not participate in the primary this
week are former Progressives.

Goodrich Runs Well.

James E. Goodrich, in the Republi-

as well in the Sixth district as Watson
did. Goodrich received a plurality
over New of 3,73S in the district, with
two precincts not heard from. Like
Watson he carried every county.

lieve they will finish this work until

This tabulation changed the result
in two of the Republican contests,
that for United States senator and for
treasurer of Way-e county.
Revision of the count of first choice
votes and second choice votes added

The unofficial returns of first choice
votes received in the Republican sena
torial contest gave Watson a plurality
of 21 over Ne. The official count of
first choice votes, however, gave New
2,O13 first choices and Watson 1865
first choices. New received SO second
choices from he Robinson vote, and
Watson rerceived 46 second choices
from Robinson. This made the final
official results in the senatorial con-
test: New, 2,106, and Watson, 2,011.
The unofficial first choice vote in
the Republican treasurer's contest,
for the two leaders, was: Ahl, 1904;

President Wilson, it is said, was not
greatly concerned while the attacks OF

show their resentment by supporting him
at the polls. Since Mr.. Hughes turned
his batteries against the eighthour law
and the tariff, and has made these the
two big issues in his campaign, President
Wilson has turned a more attentive ear
to the pleadings of his campaign advisers
with the result that he at last consented
to take the stump to reply to his Repub-
