CHANGE DATE Of
PRIMARY ELECTION
HULL BILL REPORTED, FIXING
TIME AIT SECOND TUESDAY
IN SEPTEMBER.
Madison. May 20.

To avoid having two holidays close
together, the Hull bill, changing the
time of holding primary elections from
the first to the fourth Tuesday ia Sep
TENDER, was reported in to the assem-
bly, yesterday morning with an amend
ment fixing the date on he second
Tuesday of the month.
Under the prevailing Law, primary
election day follows labor day and in
the cities where the latter is cele-
brated extensively, interest N labor
day detracts from the importance OF
election day. Another consideration
which prompted the change, was that
farmers will have their fall work
nearer completion later in the month,
assuring a larger representa- on al the
polls in rural communities.
Another important measure report
ed favorably by the same committee
was the Disch bill, making It a mis-
demeanor for students, commercial
travellers and others, away from home.
to vote in the places where they are
temporarily residing.
The Kay bill, limiting campaign ex-
penses TO 20 per cent. of a years sal
airy for the Office sought, was report
ed for indefinite postponement
The committee on cities recommend
ed for concurrence the Bodenstab bill

of Gordon's corps, that defended these
lines in the memorable assault"
The territory within the siege of
Petersburg, said Major Brown, would
be forever sacred to every true Ameri-
can. "Lamentable as was the frater-
nal strife here enacted" he said,
with all its cruelties and malignan-
cies incident TO civil war, yet, thanks
be to Almighty God all is turning to
glory now, all will be an inspiration
to the student of American history,
and all will contribute to the bril-
liancy of American arms and the
perpetuity of the American republic"
In concluding. Major Brown urged a
movement to convert into a battle
field park. the territory in which Lees
army OF northern Virginia and the
army OF the Potomac fought.

ing the offer.
Mr.. Powell. Mr.. Everett and wen,
down to find Domachowski after we
heard about the story from Senator
Pearson. We believed that it was
better for three of Us to ask him ques.
tions than only one. We drew him
aside and questioned him. We took
turns questioning him, and asked bin
whether it was true that be received
an offer. At first he was very reticent.
Then he told US that it was true about
ne offer, but would not name any
amount. I asked him If a concrete Of
fer vas made to him. He didn't I'M
derstand the word concrete so /
asked him if real ofer had been
made. He said yes"
Did you notice anything with re-
ference to his manner?"
Yes, sir. He acted very serious,
and took out his handkerchief and
was wiping his face and neck"
Mr.. Watrous, in his further exar1in-
alton, and also Mr.. Everett Of the
Milwaukee Daily News, confirmed Mr..
Powell's testimony, and all three prac-
tically told the same story.
Senator Pearson, who was the last
witness. said that he heard the state
ment by Assemblyman Domachowski
of having been offered money to stay
out of the joint session. No amount
was mentioned. He said he gave this
information to the newspaper men

He took ne part in the senatorial
primary but voted for Stephenson.
Senator Husting tried to Set In a
question regarding any money used in
Twesme's behalf, but he testified his
expenses, except for the money
named, were paid by himself. Senator
Marsh asked if the La Crosse brew
ers were not working for him and
sending in money, and Twesme said
he knew nothing of any money from
this source.
Don't you know an immense
amount of money was spent in your
behalf?"
Il know there was no money" said
Twesme, and added he worked for the
saloon vote. Ekern. he said, was for
the temperance and saloon votes,
while he went after the saloons.
