1t is high honor for one to be the
choice of his party for the office of U.
S. Senator. Neal Brown was the choice
for Z. S. Senator by the Wisconsin
democracy, and it was glory for Wan
sau and Marathon county.
That Mr. Kreutzer was selected, by
the republicans of the State Senate, to
second the domination of Senator
Spooner, was glory for our city and
county.
Mr.. LaDu was chosen by the demo
Gratis of the Assembly to second the
nomination of Meal Brown, which was
additional glory for our city and
county.
The joint session of the Legislature
was called to order in the Assembly
chamber, at noon Wednesday, and
again ballot was taken for U. S. SEN
ator, which resulted in 105 for Mr..
Spooner and p for Mr.. Brown. A
committee of three was appointed to
wait upon the successful candidate and
escort him to the Assembly chamber
1t was notable gathering, the i'm
mense room and its galleries filled to
their fullest capacity. The first APP
plause of any consequence was when
Neal Brown entered. He was recog-
nized at once and heartily applauded.
Senator Spooner was given reception
that was worthy of the occasion. The
applause kept up for several moments
after he came in, and when he arose to
address those present there was deafen-
ing applause, and the University boys
gave their college yell with vigor Sen
ator Spooner showed great emotion
during the entire time. And at the
close of his eloquent address, an
informal reception was held to give
those present chance of meeting the
Senator.
NEAL BROWN
The democrats arranged for meet
ing in the Assembly chamber in the
evening, at which the Hon. Neal Brown
delivered a stirring address which is
given in part in this issue of the PILOT.
While the attendance was not as large
as at the noon hour when Senator
Spooner spoke, still the gathering was
large and enthusiastic one. At the
close of the address Mr.. Brown stepped
down from the rostrum and held an in
formal reception, during which Gov.
LaFollette rendered his congratulations
and in answer to what he said, Mr..
Brown remarked:
well, Bob, think you and l agree
on some things"
The Governor rather half nodded,
and then Mr.. Brown continued:
Il rather think you're enough of a
tariff reformer so that you would like
to be down in Washington right now,
helping straighten out things. You
would have lot more nerve about it,
too, than some of the men whom Wis.
consin has sent there"
