The Wisconsin Legislature.

Within a few days after the senator
shall have passed his three-score mark the
legislature Of Wisconsin will meet and a
majority Of that body will again elect him
to the Senate. The legislature meets the
second Wednesday In January, and the law
requires that both branches shall meet In
a senator on the second Wednesday follow
ing, which Is January 81.
Six months ago the senator's reelection
was problematfcal. Now 1t Is as sure as
anything human can, seem to be. There
are 132 members Of this legislature. The
constitution calls for 1873, but In one dis
trict in the southern part of the state there
was q tie between the republican and the
democrat, and so that district goes without
three senators in the present legislature
thirty are republicans and three are demo-
Gratis. OF the ninety-nine members Of the
assembly seventy-hve are republicans and
twenty-four are democrats OF the 1O5 re-
publicans on joint ballot all but fourteen
are pledged to vote for the reelection of
Senator Spooner. No other candidate will
be presented to the party caucus, and in all
probability no other will be voted for in the
legislature.
In this event Senator Spooner will enjoy
the honor, as he has once before, Of receiv-
ing the unanimous support of the republi-
can members of the legislature. His tri-
umph now, however, does not quite COM
pare with his second election to the Senate.

the Senate

EIGHTEEN YEARS AGO.
Pushed to the Front by Senator Saw
yer-May Succeed Himself as
as Often as He Wishes.
HAD DECLINED OFFICE

Senator and Mrs. Spooner are in Madi-
son, Wis. holding family reunion. They
have with them in their fine home there.
overlooking the pretty blue lakes that have
made the capital OF the badger state IA
nous, their sons Charles and Willett and
their families. Few in Washington who
have known the Wisconsin senator from
the time he first entered the Senate in 1885
realize when they look at him In the fervor
and tension of debate that he Is q grand
father or that he will celebrate a week
from tomorrow his sixtieth birthday. The
family reunion began Christmas day and
will be continuing feast until the SEN
ator's birthday has been included. When
the Spooners are in Madison they are on
the sweetest ground the earth has for
them. There the senator and his wife
spent their childhood. and there they grew
up and were married. For nearly fifty
years Judge Spooner,, the senator's father,
lived there, and there, too, have always
lived Mrs. Spooner's family. the Mains.
Although Senator spooner for twenty
years made his home at Hudson, In the
northwestern part Of the state. much OF
his time was spent every year in Madison,
where he was constantly called in the
practice of his profession. Early in his Ca
reer he was chosen to the lower branch OF
the legislature, and for a time he was pr1-
vate secretary to Governor Fairchild. He
went through the state university. which
is great part of Madison. and afterward
served as one of its trustees. Some of his
best speeches on the hustings were deliv-
cred In the assembly chamber at the capt.
tai, it being the custom from time imme-
mortal for the champions of both great par
ties to address the public in the hall set
apart for the popular branch Of the legis-
lature. Here, too, occurred the greatest
triumphs in Spooner's life-his successive
nominations by his party for the United
States Senate and his election twice to that
high honor. About ten years ago Senator
Spooner bought house at the capital and
has since made that his home.

Primary Election Plank.

1t will not be the law that was throttled
by the republicans in the legislature two
years ago after the governor had urged Its
passage most strenuousy day and night for
weeks. If any such measure ia passed this
time it will be primary election law made
to apply to members OF the legislature and
county officers. but not to state officials or
members Of Congress. The LaFollette or
ganization demanded during the. campaign
that Senator Spooner should subscribe to the
primary election plank and another plank
demanding the equalization Of taxes or In
other words the adequate assessment and
taxation Of railroads and other large cor
porations which have for many years been
suspected In Wisconsin Of avoiding their
Just burdens and dipping into politics with
a generous hand to choose public represen-
tatives who would carry out their will
Senator Spooner ignored the demand made
upon him consistently from the beginning
to the finsh of the campaign and now with
out opening his head about these matters
Is elected to the Senate by a practically
unanimous party vote embracing men who
will a few days later proceed to do what
Gov. LaFolette asks Of them.
The stalwarts scout the idea that Lafol-
lette can he elected to the Senate two years
hence. He lives also in Madison, and 1t
rarely happens that two senator's are
chosen from the same city. Notable excep-
tons have occurred.

Some Notable Legislators.

The legislature which will return Spooner
to the Senate is made up Of strong men,
The bitter fight between the LaFollette
forces and the so-called stalwarts caused
this. Both sides put up their best men.
The upper branch is composed mainly of
good lawyers, a number Of whom will be
heard from hereafter In Congress and pos
sibly In the Senate. Among the members
of the Wisconsin senate Is James H. Stout.
the millionaire lumberman Of Menominie,
who is famous for his establishing c1rculat-
ing libraries all over the state in a system
which has been exploited all over the world
as a model institution. In the senate also
is a son-in-law of Representative Babcock,
John c. Gaveney, lawyer Of ability and
promise. Another prominent man in the
body Is John NJ. Whitehead Of GAINESVILLE,
who was the stalwart candidate for the
nomination for governor against LaFollette.
He Is a lawyer and a strong friend of

Gov. LaFollette is reg arded by both
friends and enemies as candidate for the

and Spooner and they both won. That ls
