;%s MIR. LUSE INDORSED
Douglas County Bar Wants Him on
the Sunrema Bench. -. :

SUPERIOR. WIs.-At the meeting of the
Douglas County Bar association last night L. X.
Luse Of this city was indcrsed for the office Of
justice of the supreme court. Judge Charles
Smith Endorsed for reelection to the office
OF judge of the superior court, which position he
has held since the court created about. eleven
years ago.; 1t is not expected he viii have
any opposition, but the Luse fight promises to be
warm. There is dissatisfaction among some Of
the attorneys on account Of the fact that A. L.
Sanborn came here from Madison and had the
campaign for Luse started when it was known
that H. q. Grace was figured upon as candi.
date. -.-
1t is regarded as a fractional fight, with Luse
as the candidate Of the Spooner stalwarts and
Judge kerwin of Neennh as the candidate Of the
La Toilette men. The fight will be carried to
this part Of the state. tho Luse is northern
Wisconsin man. 1t is asserted however, that
he will have great strength In Dane county,
where he was a practicing attorney for several
years.
There is trouble in the ranks Of the reformers
who control the county board. Recently two
of them put in bills that would make their allow
ances for salary above the statutory limit. Oppo
stion committeeman cut the bills SO that one
| member drew cents while the other had nothing
| coming. These two members now refuse to sigl
n call, it is said. for meeting Of the board
saying that they will not work without pay
This makes it impossible to get a meeting.
