sentative of the ID Wisconsin District. in place
or the late Congressman H c. Adams. has taken
an active part in state politics for the last
fifteen years and has been closely affiliated with
Senator La Toilette He has been a delegate 10
practically all the state and national conventions

Der OF financial institutions of Wisconsin and

in the Treasury Department Of the state govern
ment. He urged by Governor La Toilette
10 accept the Office OF executive clerk, but de-
clined the place and also declined the position
Of private secretary under Governor Davidson.
He might have had the nomination for the state
preferred TO remain IN private life until the
Congress nomination was rendered 10 him by the
leaders OF his district. Bills that Mr.. Nelson
introduces in the House may be expected to
receive Senator La FoIlette's hearty support in
the coordinate branch OF Congress. and when

voice and vote TO help them through. Mr.. Mel

sister OF State Senator A NJ. Stondall, and, ike
President Roosevelt has six children.
