Just after reaching a final agree- ment on the measure, the Republican conferees learned the conference re- port adjusting the hundreds of dif- ferences between the senate and house is liable to a point of order which may reopen the entire contro- versy. ‘The opposition is prepared to con- tend, when the report is submitted on ‘Monday that the conferees exceeded the authority of both of the house and senate bills in fixing the duties on cheese, cherries, rayon, watches ‘and clocks. of the new attack on the bill, Senator Watson of Indiana, the Republican leader, sought a gentle- man’s agreement whereby conferees ‘would only consider these particular rates. if the legislation is returned again to conference. If the point of order against the bill is upheld by the senate it sends the legislation back to conference with the house, reopen the whole tar- iff structure to revision and means another vote in the house of items in dispute. As finally framed, the tariff meas- ‘ure carries a duty on,softwood lum- ber. The house turned down this duty and senate leaders are afraid reconsideration would lead to elimi- nation of this rate. A duty on lum- ber is probably necessary to get the votes in the senate for passage of the tariff bill. Senator Watson and the Republi- can leaders were busily sizing up the situation today to meet the new emergency. They hope to get suffi- cient support from the senate to up- hold the decision on the rates against which the point of order will be made. If the point of order is defeated Jeaders believe the end of the long tariff struggle is in sight, with a fi- nal vote coming after a week or ten days of debate.

HANGS A THE Wet Activities of Cuntiorwan | From Burke County Embar- | rass |. V. A. Group When A. C. Townley Friday filed his petition with the secretary of State for the Republican congression- ai nomination from the third district, there was some disappointment in the heart of Mr. Staale Hendrickson of | Burke county, a candidate for the} same nomination. It was rumored more than a week ago that Mr. Townley had decided | not to continue with his candidacy, | despite the fact that he has been! campaigning since early last winter. The theory was that Mr. Townley | was more of a wet than anything else | and that he would withdraw in order | to give another wet. candidate a chance. But the theorists didn't properly) estimate Mr. Townley. He claims to be the original wet candidate and | whatever advantage there may be in that he intends to keep for himself. Meanwhile Mr. Hendrickson and Mr. Townley continue their respec- tive wet compaigns while J. H. Sin- Clair, the incumbent, rides carefully down the middle of the political road and says he doesn't regard prohibi- tion as the paramount issue; that he ib more interested in economic mat- TS. And therein, political leaders of both. sides agree, lies the answer to} the result in the third district. Mr. Sinclair will get nearly all the dry votes and some of the .wet ones. Townley and Hendrickson will divide "tsuch of the wet votes as they can muster between them and when the votes are counted, it seems probable that Mr. Sinclair. will be returned to congress for a sixth term. _ “"2Plans’ Separate Campaign Mr. Hendrickson announced today in Minot that he is going to conduct @ separate campaign for the con- gressional nomination. from head- quarters in Minot.
