.SPOONER SPONSOR
FOR La TOILETTE
Political Foemen Of Wisconsin
Arm in Arm Before the
Senate.
GALLERY ASTIR OVER
UNUSUAL SPECTACLE
Not Until the Last Moment Was
It Known How Enemies
Would Act.
Ry w. w. Jermane.

Washington, Jan. IF folks
thought there would be anything re-
sembling a .trow" when Senator La
Toilette was sworn in at noon today,
they were mistaken. Everything was
as smooth as oil, and La Toilette and
Spooner, to the great delight Of their
associates on the floor, and Of the gal
sion, behaved toward each other as II
they had been bosom friends for years,
and had never had disagreement.
Spooner, early this morning, paid his
respects to La Toilette at the latter q
hotel, thru a courteous note, and he was
met half way. The note was answered,
and they agreed to meet at the capitol,
in Spooner1s committee room, at 11:30.
In this note, Spooner explained to
him what would be expected of them
during the swearing in scene.
La Toilette acquiesced gracefully,
and told Spooner to go ahead and make
all necessary arrangements.
Chief Attraction.
On the senate floor they were the
chief attraction Of the day. Spooner
sat in his seat on the main aisle, with
La Toilette beside him, and here, for.
opened, they cRatted 't pieasan n s.'s the
faces Of both wreathed IN smiles.
They were frequently interrupted
by other senators, democrats and re-
publicans, who came up either to renew
| an old acquaintance or to be intro
| duced. One of the most cordial Of
these was Senator Tillman.
After the morning prayer, Spooner
moved that further reading of the SEN
ate journal be dispensed with, and this
motion prevailing, he announced that
| he desired to send La Follette's Gre
/ dentials to the presidents desk and
have them read. After the reading,
Spooner said he desired that his col
/ league be at once sworn in, whereupon
Vice President Fairbanks requested
him to present himself at the vice pres
ident s desk. This he did, leaning on
Spooner's arm.
/ La Toilette Takes Oath.
/ The oath was administered, La Fol-
lette at it's conclusion responding with
4 a distinct 81 do. - Spooner then called
his attention to the members roll, on
the secretary 8 desk, and as soon as he
had signed this, he and Spooner, again
arm and arm wa ked over to the demo
cratic side of the chamber, where the
overflow republicans have seats. Here
Spooner advised with La Toilette for
a few moments regarding choice of
seats, and finally La Toilette selected
one in the rear row, on the extreme end,
where he sat down, Spooner, meanwhile,
retiring to his own position. This closed
the incident, and the entire affair was
over in less than three minutes.
