Park Extension Revived.

After being quiescent for several
weeks the scheme for the extension
of the capitol park by wiping out all
that part between the present park
and Lake MonOna has been revived
and found expression in a bill intro
duced by Senator Whitehead. The
project has been hanging fire in the
hope that the senatorial contest might
be ended so that the plan might be
given more serious attention, but it
was thought unwise to defer it any
longer. In the meantime, however.
much quiet lobbying has been done
for the bill and it is said a majority
Of both houses has been committed to
it. The scheme which is one of the
biggest and most startling ever pro-
posed in a state, contemplateS taking
over from one and a half to two mil
lions worth of property and the at
tOrney general is authorized to conduct
the necessary condemnation proceed
ings. However, options have been Sc
cured on a large part of the property,
which includes many of the leading
business houses of the city and some
of the most aristocratic of the city's
homes.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1907-05-17

simplified the situation much, but it
has undoubtedly FASTENED the final
solution of the puzzle. Much of the
Lenroot and Cooper vote has so far
refused to come into the camp of any
of the other leading candidates.
In fact, they have brought out a new
candidate, the possibility of whose
election set many members thinking
as they went home over Sunday. This
man is Assemblyman Duncan McGre-
gor of Platteville, who IN three days
received vote as big as any of the
other candidates was able to attract in
three weeks. While it was generally
thought that the J4enroot and Cooper
vote was going to McGregor as a good
resting place until it was ready to go
elsewhere, the possibility of his
ultimate election began TO be seriously
diCcuSSnd

Speaker Holds the Kew.

The key to the situation is undOubt-
edly held by Speaker Ekern. who, it
is believed, can swing enough of the
McGregor votes to some candidate to
elect him. The gossip Sunday and
yesterday was that Speaker Ekern,
pleased at the strength shown by his
friend McGregor, suggested bringing
him out as formal candidate. This
may vet be attempted, Or if it seems
inadvisable a dark horse candidate
may be brought out, possibly Senator
Sanborn Of Ashland.
Ali this is contingent upon the
fortunes of Stephenson. While many
of the Cooper and Lenroot men are
ready to go to Stephenson. if neces-
sary, yet if the Marinette man cannot
be elected, they would prefer sticking
to McGregor or some new candidate.
Flushed at the long lead Stephenson
has received, his supporters are con-
fidently predicting his early election.
The argument that has been used with
the most effect is that his election
would be happy solution Of the pres
ent deadlock and afford the people an
opportunity next year to select the
man they might wish. as Stephenson
has said he simply desires to finish
out Spooner's term. The old man
has certainly made a remarkable fight
and added another chapter to an in
teresting life.

Capitol at Same Site.

The bill cOntemplates leaving the
capitol where the present state house
stands in order that the work already
begun on the new building may not
be for naught. The commission is
given authority to issue non-taXable
bonds to run from five to twenty years
and to take over the property and rent
it and apply the proceeds to the with
drawal of the bonds. 1t is not ex-
pected that the p0uud will be finally
cleared and parke, much under ten
years should the measure go through.
When the scheme was first sprung it
was under the claim Of the patronage
of some of the big moneyed men of
the state, such as Senator Stout, for
mer Senator Hatten. Isaac Stephen
son, c. E. Pfster, Levi Withee. the

of this, but way is made for such
assistance, to come in in a provision
for the reception of ''such other funds
as can be legally applied" THE bill
is cleverly drawn said one member.
