While the principal features OF the
new war levy are the increases in in

Insurgents favoring low rates last
night controlled the grand lodge of
the Ancient Order of United Work
men.
Pending report of special COM
mittee they again put off action on the
question of rates and adjourned to 9
m. today.
This was in the face of an order
from the State Insurance board at
Lincoln, demanding that the orders
insurance rates be raised Immediately
to an adequate and satisfactory sched-
ule, under penalty of the boards TAX
ing charge of the affairs of the organ
ization.
Election Bitterly Fought.
The election was bitter fight, with
sensational features, hinging around
the mighty struggle over the arte
question between the administration
forces and the insurgents.
The latter had won a preliminary
victory Tuesday, by repeating the Ma
tional Fraternal congress artes, which
', ere considered too high.
All chief administration candidates
for election, including all the old Off
GERS up for reelection, declined to run,
when the insurgent control was indi-
Gated and adoption of low rate was
threatened to take the place of higher
rates repealed Tuesday.
Fear Wreck Of Order.
Candidates thus declining gave as
an excuse that adoption of low rates
would wreck the order, and that they
did not wish to have anything to do
with control of the order under such
circumstances.
The first ballot gave the above cleo
tion results, with the exception of
grand master workman. John L. Sum
dean of Minneapolis, but sitting as a
delegate frob Wahoo, had plurality,
but not majority for that office. He
promptly withdrew his candidacy, say
ing that if elected he did not believe
he could move back to Nebraska and
take the position. q
Anderson Refuses.
Frank A. Anderson of Holdrege, re-
firing grand master workman, a.
though declining to be candidate for
reelection, had stood second in the
race, with 14l votes against 1874 for
Sunbeam. After Sunbeam withdrew
shouts were raised for Anderson by
and high-rate delegates.
But he repeated his refusal to be a
and moved that John Stew
ems of Beaver City, who polled "a
votes, be elected by acclamation. That
motion was passed after first being
declared lost and going to division
of the house on call. 1t was later
made unanimous.
