old republican fight, with stalwarts
on one side and the administration
wing on the other, will, it seems, be
fought over again in the next two
years, and again a main issue will be
primary election. Governor La Fol
lette is practically certain of being a
candidate for a third term and with
the doubtful road which the taxation
and railroad commission bills have to
travel in the legislature it seems.
equally certain that the issues OF the
coming warfare will be the same as
those that were thought to have been
affirmatively determined in the last
election. These were the results of
the conference between the stalwart
senate conferees on the primary cleo
ton bill-Whitehead, Beach and Morse
and the assembly conferees-
Andrew, Frear and Leroy. The sides
stood pat" The senate committee
on assessment and collection of taxes
will report for passage the ad valorem
railroad tax BILL as it came from the
tax commission, but with few minor
amendments. The proposition to in
crease the license fees of the railroads
to five and one-half per cent. of their
gross earnings and the one to post
pone the operation Of the ad valorem
system until 1906 will not be reported
out of the committee. The report, it
is said, by Senator Whitehead, will be
unanimous. The governors veto OF
the North bill to allow county boards
of supervisors to appropriate money
for the purpose of building soldiers
and sailors monuments was sus-
tanned in the senate by vote of Is to-
IA, the majority being against the gov
ernor's veto, but it requires a two
thirds vote to pass the bill over the
executive objection. On a tie vote
and with Lieutenant Governor David
son voting in the affirmative the
senate adopted the Merton resolution
asking congress to call a constitutions
al convention for the purpose of sub
hitting to the states a constitutional
to provide for the election
of United States senators by direct
vote Of the people. The vote was 13
to 10 as follows: For-Davidsom,
Burns, Hatton, Hudnall Martin, Nc
Merton, Miller, Munson,
North, Randolph. Stout, Wipperman,
Wolff-14. Against-Beach, Bird.
Gaveney, Green, Hagemeister, John
son, Kreutzer, McDonough, O'Neii,
Riordan, Rogers, Whitehead, Willy
10. Mr.. Cady chairman of the judici-
airy committee, reported back the,
Strong bill, giving jury trials to vio-
lators of injunctional orders, anu also
a big batch of petitions from labor
unions favoring the bill. The report
recommended that the.
petitions be referred to Mr.. Strong
for use in future political campaigns"
and raised a great laugh. The as
sembly passed the Dahl bill, whose
object is to have leaf tobacco assessed
being 4S to So. The state affairs COM
mittee reported favorably the bill
$4,000 for a Wisconsin
exhibit at the St Louis fair, $25, 600
