but which terminates to his credit
and shows his strength in congress.
There are evidences of some clash
ing politics between Senators La
Toilette and Spooner, over appoint
ments coming to the senate for
confirmation. The first demonstrate
ion Of possible differences arose over
the confirmation of Amos P. Wilder.
of the Madison Journal recently
appointed by the president to tt e
consulate at Hong Kong, China.
Senator LaFOllette filed his protest
against confirmation and in the
executive session Thursday followed
this up with a statement as to
Wilder's attitude editorially and
otherwise towards HIM. He as
serted that while the Madison editor
was a good writer, he was unfit to
serve the government in the capac-
ity named. Senator Spooner de-
Tended the appOinte6 and won out
before the committee which report
ed favorable to confirmation. All
this occurred in executive session
nd when the matter comes m
again it is likely that Wilder will be
confirmed. There is another con
dict between the two senators over
the postofice appointments made at
Merrill and Washburn by Congress-
men Brown and Jenkins. In the
Merrill case Senator LaFollette is
standing by the present postmaster
while in the Washburn case. Sena-
tor Spooner is opposing for the pres
ent at least the confirmation of the
appointee. While there is a CON
ti'ct of interest, there has been no
open breech between the two sena-
tors up to this time.
