Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1908-01-16

Washington, Jan. 9.-The Brownson
affair was the chief topic of discus
sion in the senate. 1t was brought up
when Senator Hale explained the navy
personnel bill which was introduced
by him. The presentation of the bill
led Senator Tillman to ask whether the
members of the committee would have
opportunity to get the facts in re-
lation to the controversy over the
Brownson affair. Mr.. Tillman intimat-
ed that he wishes to call before the
committee witnesses to testify con-
corning this matter. Mr.. Hale replied
that he thought there would be no OBJ
stacle to allowing the senator to do
that. Mr.. Hale said he had preferred
securing facts in connection with the
personnel of the navy in connection
with the consideration of the bill in
stead of holding an investigation of
the particular incident which had been
subject of so much public COM
ment.
An employers liability bill was in
PRODUCED by Representative Sterling
of Illinois. The measure is de-
signed to exclude the grounds on
which the present law was declared
unconstitutional by the supreme court.
Amid scenes of confusion the mem
bers of the house participated in a
lottery for rooms in the new house
office building opposite the capitol.
The great marble structure was erect
ed at an expense of 100000.

Washington, Jan. 10.-Senator La
Toilette of Wisconsin secured con-
sent of the senate to retire from MEM
bership on the committee on military
affairs. He assigned no reason and
had nothing to say when pressed for
an explanation of his act in precipi-

any degree of active interest.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 13.-Vigor-
GUS defense of state rights in dealing
with violations Of civil rights or with
special state elections where troops
have been called into service served
to enliVen the debate in the house of
representatives in connection with
the bill to codify the penal laws of
the United States. A number OF
democrats, mostly from the south,
sought by amendment to reserve to
the states themselves the discretion
as to the qualifications of voters, of
persons to serve on juries, and 20
limit the powers of federal judges in
certain cases; but every attempt
failed. The republicans presented a
solid front and the votes all were Oh

party. The democrats OF the district
have not yet nominated.
Old-time lighting will mark the con.
test in the Eleventh between Con.
gresham Rauch, democrat. and Dir.
Charles H. Good of Huntington. DEM
ocrats IN this district would bet with
out asking odds. Some would be WILL
ing to mortgage their homes Reports
received by the republican state COM
mittee indicate that republican troubles
are diminishing and that a reunited
party will be able to redeem the dis,
trict, which is normally republican.
Congressman Gilhams of the Twelfth,
will be opposed by Cyrus Cline of
Angola. The fight should be a good
one. Each party feels confident of
success and local events will probaly
determine the outcome. The demo-
Gratis got into a little row before their
convention, April 16. but members of
the party here say that the best man
won. Gilhams has made a good rec
ord during his short career in WASH
ington. He has not set the country on
! fire but he has done as much as q
flrst-term congressman might be ex-
pected to do. His party is united.
1t is early to gossip about the con-
! dItion in the Thirteenth as the re-
publican nominee, Charles W. Miller of
Goshen, was named this week, and the
democrats have not yet nominated. The
nomination of Miller was something OF
a shock to organization" republicans,
who had hoped to honor John L. Moor
man of Knox. Miller however, is a
strong man. AS attorney general for
four years, he made an enviable record.
He ran for the gubernatorial nominal
ton and was second man In the race.
Miller had the organization against him
good shape and many think that he
| will be strong candidate. The DEM
! ocrats may nominate BENJAMIN F.
Shively Of South Bend. Their conven-
tion was set for May 20 and then post
poned, probably for the purpose OF
giving the republicans the chance of
meeting first. The fight in the Thir-
teenth will be for the short and IN
expired term of Congressman Brick
and for the regular term.
The prospects are, according to re-
ports obtainable now, that strong
fights will be waged in the First, Sec
ond, Sixth, Eighth, Ninth. Eleventh.
Twelfth and Thirteenth districts. The
republicans expect easy sailing in the
Fifth, Seventh and Tenth and the DEM
ocrats have no doubt about the OUT
come in the Third and Fourth.
