Governor Potter and treasurer officers dispute margins, with estimates ranging from 18 500 to near 100 000 dollars. Bonds issued earlier were oversubscribed and will go to the highest bidder with sale set for June.

Vardaman’s Substitute for Coastwise Toll Repeal Debate
Senator Vardaman offers a diplomatic substitute to repeal tolls on coastwise ships, delaying current exemptions until July 1, 1915, with tolls deposited in a Treasury fund. A joint U S Britain commission would negotiate under Hay Pauncefote to settle the dispute through diplomatic conferences. He insists the plan preserves sovereignty and honors party platforms, avoiding conflict and maintaining international friendship.
