IN SENATE
Republican Leaders Fear Eff

of Delay to Business.
BY WILLIAM *. HUTCHINSON.

International News Service.
President Coolidge probably
will be asked to arbitrate the fac
tional Republican row in the Sen
ate over election of a chairman
for the Interstate Commerce
Committee, it was learned today.
With the Senate adjourning to-
day for a Christmas. vacation, it
was said the President would con-
fer with leaders of both regular
and insurgent groups in the hope
of effecting a compromise before
balloting is resumed on January
8. The compromise undoubtedly
will be fastened as q result of
sharp Democrats attacks upon
Republican leaders for delaying
the Governments business"
Victors in Round One.
Senator William E. Borah Rep)
Of Idaho, one Of the insurgent
group, is expected to visit President
view to obtaining the presidents
endorsement of Senator James
Couzens Rep.) Of Michigan, as a
compromise candidate for the dis
puted craftsmanship.
Reports were also circulated that
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,
the Depublican leader, mas swung
his personal support to Co1zens al
though he previously voted for
Senator Albert B. Cummins of Iowa,
the incumbent chairman.
BY carrying their fight over into
the New Year, the insurgents
incidentally are credited with hav-
ing won first round" victory
over the regulars.
During the recess, the insurgents
expect to win additional support
from Western Senators who will
have had time ito hear from home, :"
They feel their fight against re-
election of Cummins has won
popular endorsement throughout the
West.
Considerable political importance
was attached to the fight by
insurgent leaders. They pointed out
that the opposition to reelection OF
Cummins won the support Of Sen
ators from Nebraska, Iowa, North
Dakota, Idaho, Minnesota, South
Dakota and Kansas. In addition,
this group was joined by Senator
Hiram Johnson of California, an
avowed candidate for the Re-
publican presidential nomination.
Look for Compromise.
With Johnson supporting their
fight, the insurgents expected the
President would seek to effect a
compromise rather than to take q
chance Of alternating d-Western
Republican Senators and giving his
opponents a new national issue.
They expected the President to in
dorse Senator Couzens as a COM
promise.
Unless an agreement is reached,
the fight will be continued when the
Senate meets again January 3, &C.
cording to Senator Norris Rep.) Of
Nebraska, acting leader of the in
surgents. 1--WE will continue to sup
port Couzens when voting is resumed
after the recess" said Norris today.
IF the regulars prefer Senator
Howell, my colleague, or Senator La
Toilette of Wisconsin, we will be
glad to effect a compromise. Other
wise we will continue to support
COuZens."

COLLINS tGAIN IN Tolls

Edmund Collins. OF Excelsior, plead
guilty in county court Saturday on a
charge of having moonshine in his
possession, officers having found five
gallons at his home. He admitted
that ne secured the liquor to sell to

gave nim a fine of $500 and costs,
amounting in all to something over
$7G0, or SIX months in the county jail.
Collins is still confined behind the
bars and may decide to spend the next
six months there. He told the officers
at the time of his arrest that the five
gallons was all he had, but they be-
came suspicious and went back to the
home Saturday and found another five
gallon can.-Richland Center Repub-

PROGRESSIVES IN SADDLE
AT THE LEGISLATURE

MADISON, Wis.-Madison is await
ing the coming of the seth regular
session of the Wisconsin legislature.
1t will be convened here Janpary 10,
and all is ready for the coming of the
members. When the houses convene
there will be 1872 members present.
One Senator-elect 0. G.. Kinney, Su-
perior, died last week and a special
election will be held early in Febru-
airy to fill the vacancy. For 20 years
not a session of the legislature has
passed without the death of one of the
members.
The Progressive members have a
large majority in the assembly, ana
altho one Progressive member of the
senate has died, there is every indica-
ton that the Progressives will be able
to organize the senate. During the
past ten days two conservative mem
bers have indicated that they would
vote with the Progressives for organi-
cation.
Should the Progressives gain con-
troll of both houses, reasonably short
session OF the legislature is expected.
1t is said John l.. Dahl of Boron
county will be elected speaker and G.
E. Shaffer will be elected for the ninth
time chief clerk of that body.
F. w. Schoenfeld of Edgerton will
be candidate for chief clerk of the
senate against o. G. Munson of Viro-
qua, conservative, who will seek re-
election. Friends of Mr.. Schoenfeld
claim he has enough votes pledged to
insure his election.
The state conservation commission
is sustained practically on funds from
license fees. At this session of the
legislature a bill is to be presented
providing for 81 fishing Incense for
each adult Already there has been
much opposition to this proposal. w.
E. Barber believes that a much better
way would be to increase the hunting
Incense fee from 81 to $3.50.
Over half of the state income tax
assessed is never collected, due to the
