STEPHENSON
WILL BE SENATOR
FROM WISCONSIN

Madison. Wis, May 17-Former Con-
gressmen Isaac Stephenson OF Marinette
upon the first caucus ballot last night was
made the Republican nominee for United
States senator. The final vote stood: Ste
phenson 81. Esch %. Hatten 10. scattering
3.
The end OF the long fight was marked
by sensational episodes. The vote had
been taken and Stephenson still lacked
several OF the requisite 50, when assem-
blyman Goldsworthy, who had been con-
ferring with Lieut. Gov. Connor, came in
to the room and asked IL II was too late
to cast a vote. Goldsworthy yesterday
pledged himself to Hatten. The clerk was
instructed to call his name and he an
nounced his choice to be Stephenson.
Assemblyman McGregor, being recog-
nized by the chair. announced that he de-
sired to change his vote from Lenroot TO
Stephenson. He was followed by assem-
blyman Nelson, who had voted for Nc
Gregor upon the roll call. Assemblyman
Clausen also changed to Stephenson from
Hatten.
Then Assemblyman Morris was literally
pulled TO his feet by the excited Stephen
son men, who surrounded his desk He
declared that he had promised the Ste
phenson workers that any time they
reached 81 votes in the caucus he would
vote with them.
The credit for the Stephenson victory is
given to Lieut.. Gov. Connor, who is said
TO have gained the support OF two mem
bers claimed TO have been pledged to Hat
ten.
The ballot ended a deadlock existing
since April 16. In that time daily ballot
has been taken in the legislature in joint
session and nearly so ballots were taken
In the Republican caucus. There were
originally five avowed candidates, but
Congressman Cooper and former Speaker
Lenroot withdrew a week ago.
The caucus nomination will be followed
by the formal election OF Stephenson in
joint session tomorrow, as the legisla-
ture Is Overwhelmingly Republican.
Isaac Stephenson was born In Frederic
ton, n. h., June IS. 1923, the son OF Isaac
and Elizabeth Watson Stephenson. In
1870 he went to Bangor, Me, and year
later to Wisconsin, where he worked on
farm, As a first venture he bought a
schooner, which he sailed between MIL
waukee and Escanaba, His savings he in
vested in timber lands, His property In
creasng I'm value, he eventually became
president and controlling owner in sew
eral big lumber companies, including the
North Ludington company, Prestige Lum-
ber company, Menominee River Boom
company, the Stephenson company, also
the Stephenson National bank In 1865 and
1863 he was elected member of the Wis
consin legislature and from 1883 TO 1889
was. a member OF congress from that

GOOD NIGHT AND MORNING.

4 fair little girl sat under a, tree
Saving as long as her eyes could see;
Then smoothed her work and folded
1t right,
And said, Dear work, good night,
good night
Such number of sucks came over
her head,
Crying. Cav. caw!" on their way to
bed,
ious flight.
sI.ittle black things. good night, good
night"
The horses neighed and the oxen
lowed
The sleeps 'Bleat bleat!" came over
the road;
All seeming to say, with quite de
light.
Good little girl, good night, good
night"
She did not say to the sun, GOOD
Though she saw him there like bal
of light;
For she knew he had Gods time tc
keep
All over the world, and never coult
sleep.
The tall pink foxglove bowed his head
The violets courtesied, and went tt
bed:
And good little Lucy tied UP hel
hair,
And said, on her knees, her favorite
prayer.
And. while on her pillow she softly
lay,
She knew nothing more till again Il
was day;
And, all things said to the beautiful
sun,
"Good morning. good morning! on
work is begun"
