Why Hudnall Has a Fight.

One of the most interesting contests is likely
to be that Of Wallace Andrew Of Superior, who
wishes to 50 to the senate In place OF Senator
Hudnall. Hudnall was staunch La Toilette
man, and was the leader in many Of the lights
over the railroad rate bill. *1F3
When the rate bill fight came to q close it
was decided that to secure conservative sup
port of the measure Nils P. Haugen should not
be made rate commissioner despite his friend
ship for La Toilette. Senator Hudnall agreed
to this and this alliance with the stalwarts
on minor point Is being used an argument
against his reelection from normally La Fol
lette district. : >"
La Toilette circles at Madison aggrieved
at the prospective entrance of Samuel Marsh
of Neillsville into the race against Senator
Kreutzer. The Marsh favorable to
Day wilson, while the La Toilette men are sure
Assistant Attorney General Tucker would be
with them if he were to be elected Marsh is
so strong in the district. however, that 1t may
be impossible for the La Toilette men to defeat
him.

Milwaukee, Wis, June 1o.-The fight between
Congressman e. s. Minor and former Congress
man Isaac Stephenson over the Marinette post
office bids fair to become the most noteworthy
postoh1ce fight In the history Of Wisconsin,
Involving as 1t does a violation of all sena-
tor1al rules Of political patronage, and the
final Quietus of one or the other Of the two
Wisconsin men who wear the toga in Wash
ington. ~ .5.4s - & *.
Mr.. Stephenson wants Postmaster Patrick at
Marinette retained. Congressman Minor is not
altogether friendly to Mr.. Stephenson, inasmuch
as the La Toilette Stephenson combination did
Its best to put Minor out OF office two years
ago.. and Mr.. Minor wants James O'Connell
appointed postmaster. ~
At Stephenson's request Senator La Toilette
has taken the unprecedented step Of interior
Ing in the light by going to the president and
asking that the nomination Of OConnell be re-
called from the senate This was done, de-
spite the fact that Postmaster General Cor
telyou had filed statement that Patrick was
not keeping a good standard Of efficiency at
the postofice, and the presidents action in
withdrawing O'Connell's name after it was
already in the senate made Cortelyou furious.
Rather than lose his old friend, it is thought
President Roosevelt will allow Patrick to be
turned down and O'Connell appointed. The In
reference OF Senator La Toilette brought SEN
ator Spooner into the contest, and now the old
lines are drawn of La Toilette and Stephenson

! How the Anti-Lobby Law Works.

There. are some interesting contests in the
state for senatorial nominal lions, and wires arc
being actively pulled all sides. Various cor
porations or groups Of interests are sounding
candidates for their views before deciding how
to stand. This is one result Of the anti-lobby
law.
In other years the legislator was elected, and
after he reached the capitol the influence was
brought to bear to swing him into line for one
policy or another. Now the good step in abol-
ishing the lobby has developed another insid-
ious evil, the interference of business interests
in the prediction campaign. For instance,
when labor men wish to pass measures to their
interest they are forced to see to mans
position before he is nominated. combined
labor vote might easily defeat man who stood
for capitalistic interests. or the reverse.
The State Grocers' association Is watching
the nominations with view to pure food legis-
lation- The doctors active in the efforts
to secure the nomination of men who will fight
the advertising methods of the less ethical ply
sicians. This phase of capital and politics was
not foreseen when the lobby was made innocu-
GUS and all but barred from the capital

A NEW KIND OF HISTORY CLASS.

~ HE teacher Of history in high school Charles

her duh pupils in history, and most wonderful of all,
make the whole class beg for longer lessons After
Of anxious thought to how to get the best results she
finally hit upon the idea Of organizing the class
daily business meeting with speaker, rollcalI and
retary report The results have been good deal bet
ter than she dared to hope.
The lessons assigned each day, and the members
of the class they discuss finish any phase
Of it that interests them Hence they take pains learn
the lesson thoroly, and they worked and
into the dea they became eager read books treating
of the special subjects in which each became interested
One boy for instance attracted by the history of
and became the recognized class author
ity upon the subject. Another attracted by the
story of Pompe and to considerable trouble to get
the letters of Plny telling Of the terrible eruption Of
Vesuvus as he and his contemporaries it.
The class began to collect pictures Illustrating their
lessons from day to day. One boy said he did have
much luck finding pictures, but would like to hunt up
extracts from various authors bearing upon the daily
lesson and read them to the class Still another worked
hard to obtain permission to photograph Of the

to thresh certain phase of the lesson they put it,

Of unfinished business and the next day it fin
ished to perfection. 5Ssg..-.~
The surprising feature, however is that since
the pupils have the power to assign their lessons,
they make them noticeab longer than in the days when
their teacher the star 1t all like
hghfuy easy road to history learning but the teacher
who originated the idea says it works to charm,
