Charles ]. Wilson. member Of the
committee for the First district at
tended the committee meeting yester-
day. Mr.. Wilson will be much missed
from the legislature next winter. He
was chairman of the committee on par
dons of the house and as such had
charge of one of the most important
of the matters which came before that
body. He directed the course of the
committee In its investigation of the
various petitions and devoted vast
amount of tirae to the personal ip1esti-
cation of these eases. He wS also
on the appropriations committee and
the judiciary and several others in
Guiding military The appropriateness
of placing him on the military COM
mittee was evident. for he had served
with the Iowa regiment that went to
the Philippines. Wilson is now on th,
military staff of Governor Cumnins.
He was practically forced into a fight
for denomination In Washington coun-
ty and was beaten by Editor Logan,
but Ii was said to be really not so
much "A defeat for Wilson personally az
for others who We're in disfavor in the
county In fact Senator Young, of
Washington county. appears 10 be in
the ascendency. Wilson says that after
mature reflection he is inclined to
agree with the Washington county re-
publicans that he ought to stay al home
this time and attend to business. and
he is Very glad that he Is not to be
a member of the next house.
The prediction was made at the close
of the Legislative session two years ago
that the matter Of the pardon of Wes
ley Elkins would cut some figure in !
