the successor of Oryille w. Mosher. He
is regarded as one of the leading adj
ministration men on the floor, and is
making as brilliant a record in that
body as he did in the assembly two
years ago. He was born in Hudson
in 1861. In 1878 he removed with his
parents to Washington, D. C. He saw
five years service in the signal corps
OF the regular army. In 1884 he was
admitted to the bar and returned to
Hudson. He spent year in the Of
flee of Senator Spooner in the study of
the law. In 1896 Governor Upham APP
pointed him district attorney of St.
Croix county, which office he held for
sevral terms In 1901 Governor La
Toilette made him member of AIS
staff. Two years ago he was elected
to the assembly after a bitter fight
and this year he was nomiI ated for
the senate after one of the most excit-
ing contests in the history of the state
in which the lines between the admin
istration and anti-administration fac
tons were sharply drawn. 1t is prob
able that he has further political honors

AntipOdeans, who have much less re-

snobbishness. and they resented it. The

New Bill Introduced.
The committee on manufacturers and
labor introduced a new bill, to amend
chapter 500 of laws of 1903, relating
to improvements and repairs on the
capitol. There was some question
raised by Senator Hudnall that a com
mittee ought not to introduce a bill
not german to the committees bust
ness, but Senators Burns and McGilliv-
ray were certain that no restriction of
this kind rested on the committees
Senator Frear facetiously referred to
the. introduction of the Kreutzer sub
etitute railroad rate commission bill.
The measure provides that the COVER
nor, attorney general and five practi-
cal architects shall constitute the
building commission proposes an ap-
preparation of 100000 for plans and
100000 for repairs and improvements
and requires that the architect be a
resident of Wisconsin for at least two
years prior to his engagement. The
bill was referred to the committee on
capitol building and grounds.

posing an amendment to section 10,

Milwaukee is provided lamentably
with schools and asked to have a Mil

schools than on music hall. In the

Madison, March 10.
Senators F9tten and Hudnall vigor-
ously resented the suggestion of Sena-
for McGillivray that the senate was not
working hard enough to get through
before next summer. Senator McGilliv-
ray caused the report of the chief clerk
to be read concerning the state of
business in the senate at the present
time. He then presented some cal
culations based upon the number of
bills already passed in comparison to
the total number of bills introduced
and concluded that unless the senate
"get hustle on" it would take years
TO complete the session. Senator Hud-
nall related his observations to the eff
feet that the senator's are Industrious
ly trying to shorten the session as
much as possible, that many of the
committees are holding morning, after
noon and night sessions and that no
one can truthfully suggest that there
is any Incidence in the senate. Re-
marks substantially to the same effect
were made by Senator Hatten. He ap-
peared TO be disguised with what he
considers play for the press by Sen
ator McGillivray, to make it appear
that he is squirting the senate on to
do its drty and to hasten the close of
the session and for economy to the
state. At each session of the legisla-
ture about this time Senator McGilliv-
ray makes a similar speech.
