WASHINGTON LETTER

LaFollette and it is believed here
that he has been either in Wiscon-
sin or at least near its borders IN
order to consult with his lieuten-
ants. Then too, there is something
intho EIouser-H Host i'm btoglio that re-
fleets comfort, and this incident, too,
is one Of the bOthersome features
that commands the attention Of the
senator. AS soon as the rate legis-
lation was out of the way so far as
its tendency in the senate was con-
cerned, Senator LaFollette made his
disappearance. Whether he has
been in Wisconsin is not explained,
but he has not been IN the senate
for nearly two weeks.

Congressman Jenkins Of the
eleventh district, delivered a speed
in the house the other day, which
from legal view point, will be a
valuable contribution to the litera-
ture on the subject of rate bill leg
islation. AS chairman of the judici-
airy committee the opinion of Con
gresham jenkins has repeatedly
been requested covering the Hep
burn bill as it passed the house. In
order to present his views, Mr..
Jenkins delivered what is claimed
to be in all respects one of the
strongest speeches of the session.
~
General E. S. Bragg, late consul
to Hong Kong, China, is in the city,
arriving Saturday to make his final
report to the state department. He
is being welcomed by the scores of
men who knew him in Congress and
by the scores of Wisconsin soldiers
who served with him as members of
the famous old iron brigade. Gen
eral Bragg is vigorous and shows no
considerable impairment of faculties
and strength through age. His
coming here and his return to Wis
consin leads to the gossip that if the
democrats really wanted strong
man to name as their candidate for
governor, such a man could be
found in General Bragg. It is point
ed out that he has been away from
the state during all these later DAYS
OF turmoil and party disintegration
and stands for what has ever been
the best in democratic theory and
practice.
Practically the entire delegation
takes most kindly to the mention
of Walter Alexander OF Wausau, as
the probable successor of Congress-
man Brown of the tenth district.
Mr.. Alexander has been long re-
garded as available congressional
timber, and it is claimed here that
there is a good prospect that he will
become a candidate for the position.

POTosI.

POTOSI.
An organization to be known as
the Potosi Mining and Industrial as
ISOLATION was formed on Tuesday
evening, 29th inst. DR.. J. E. Nc
Govern was chosen as Pres; G. H.
Lewis, Vice Pres; G. j. Ragatz,
Secy. and Treas. The membership
fee is $1.00 semi annually in ad-
vance. The object in forming the
association is to promote and ad-
vance the mining interests of the
district, with the same amount of
money expended in the Potosl dis
trict for development purposes that
has been spent in other parts of
the district; it will be found vastly
richer in mineral resources than
any in the Southwestern Wisconsin
district and by acqqainting the out
side world of our rich mining re-
sources and giving the district the
publicity it so justly deserves, we
hope to bring into this community
men of means who will readily ap-
preciate the opportunities for reap
ing rich returns on their investment;
once the truth is known there will
be no lack Of capital coming into
the Potosi district, the one destined
to be the greatest in the U. s., if
not in the world in the matter of
producing lead and zinc ore.
John S. Wright, Walter Brennan,
James Scullon and Harry Barnett

three former are interested and
form a part Of the company who
purchased the Jackson estate, a
valuable piece of mining land; they
attended a meeting of the share

fitness for the Office are best recog-
nized by the ablest men in Grant

fitness and capabilities are the i'm
portant factors that they should be

Washington, D. c., May 29.-The
end of the session is drawing to a
close and hours are consumed in
the house especially to a play of
poIitIcs during which the record is
embellished with many a speech
designed for local consumption.
There are many clashes between the
leaders on the floor and tillibuster-
ing tactics are resorted to, but
through it all the republican ma
jOrity in an implacable sort of a
way controls the situation. Atou
every so often John Sharp William S
as the minority leader raises the
point of no quorum. The do )rs are
closed and Sergeant at Arms Cas-
son receives pre-emptory orders
from Speaker Cannon to bring
absentees to the house. Then the
regular order is taken up until the
majority side becomes deple ed
again the same point of no quoru n
is made. Roll call follows roll call.
and interspersed occasionally comes
the clashing of men out of patience
with the proceeding and irritable
beyond restraint.
~
This was shown the other day in
a clash between Congressman Coop
er of Wisconsin and Congressma /
Hepburn of Iowa, two republicans
of prominence on the floor, in
Which the lie was passed and dur
ing which it looked for a time as
though blows might follow. Con-
gresham Cooper strongly objected
to the adoption of the rule authoriz-
ed by the committee which proposed
to send the rate bill to conference,
asserting that it was reported that
the purpose was to cut out the pro-
vision relating to express and sleep
ing car companies. When called
upon to make his statements good
to cite his authority, he stated that
it was a we'll known fact that Con-
gresham Hepburn did not favor
this provision of the bill. This
brought on the alteration, in which
the Wisconsin man acquitted him
self with honor and showed no fear,
although keeping within parlia--
mentary bounds. Cooper desired
the action of the house upon such
amendments of the bill as could be
agreed to without entrusting these
provisions to conference. AS is
usual the recommendation of the
rules committee carried the day.
~
Senator LaFollette has not been
in Washington, for the past two
weeks and it is claimed that he is
away on lecturing trip, although
this report can not be verified, By
many it is thought that he has gone
west to see if the perplexing situa~
ton confronting his machine in
Wisconsin can not be Strengthened
out. The reports of a combination
between Governor Davidson and
Chairman Common, offensive as we'll
as defensive, menaces the continue
ton Of power so long exercised by

special efforts to make this event

county so far as entertainments
are concerned. They will try to
secure all the musical and literary
talent in the county. They have
already asked the Mathews

are hosts of others now in the
county and others who will be

thoroughly advertised and there
is no reason in the world why
Holly Grove should not have as
good a party as has ever taken
place in Mathews. The parson-
age is going up and will be com
pletcd in the near future. Turn
out and help them.
