Woulu accept the brioe De detered from repeating the prohibition laws On ac-, count of their oaths to support the Constitution?
 If the amendment is adopted the penalties in the prohibition laws could be amended so as to carry only nom- inai punishment, and while this would he q violation of the spirit of the Constitution it would not be a viola ton of It's letter; and therefore not strictly speaking a violation of the oath of office of the Legislators. If the amendment is not adopted there could certainly be no bribing of the Legislators to betray the wishes of the people without violation of both the spirit and the letter of the Constitu- tion. +S sstt
 But do not fear the bribery Of the Legislature whether the amendment is adopted or defeated. For many years We have had prohibition in about half the counties of the State, have heard of no effort to betray the people of l those counties by repeating the prohi- bition laws against their will. Leg isiatures sometimes make mistakes of Judgment. but when they do the people have the power to correct them at the next election. Before the, brewers and distillers could secure c repeal of the prohibition laws they would not only have to buy a majority of the Legis. lature. but also the Governor of the State. or would have 10 huy two.thirds of the Senate and the House. It may be that I am resting too securely upon the honorable record and. high charac- ter of our Governors ana Legislatures since the days of reconstruction. but I am totally unprepared to believe that any such shame and degredation con fronts our State.
 Cohatructioa of the Amendment.
 It seems that our best lawyers difker On the proper construction of the amendment. I am not lawyer and must rely largely upon the opinion of the members of the profession on that subject, Eminent lawyers in whom have great confidence. both in legal knowledge and personal Integrity. have expressed widely divergent opinions of the restrictions Of the ffrst section and the powers conferred by fhe second section. This should cause all thought ful citizens to hesitate. If it were a statute. when it was construed by the Supreme Court it could be amended by the Legislature If construed contrary to the avowed purpose of its spon- sors; but not SO with the constitutional amendment Before 1t could be amend ed another constitutional amendment must be proposed ana voted on by the people of the State. It seems to me 1t would be bad Judgment to put some thing in the Constitution over which there iS so much difference of opinion as to its true meaning.

Story in Toto.

FOND DU LAC, Wis, Jan 90
Especial. 1.-THE charges made by Sena-
tor Blaine relative to my having re-
ceived $1,000 from Senator Stephenson in
the recent primary campaign for the
purpose of illegally furthering the inter
ests of Senator Stephenson's candidacy,
are absolutely ridiculous" said Roy L.
Morse when told of the charges against
him today.
Il did not receive $1,000 from Senator
Stephenson or his campaign manager,
nor did l receive anywhere near that
amount to further the candidacy of Sen
ator Stephenson in Fond du Lac county.
Every cent of the money spent in Fond
du Lac county is legitimately accounted
for. The whole thing is funny to me-"

dates for the Assembly, who entered into
deal with Isaac Stephenson, whereby
the junior senator was to finance Til

turn for his (Tilton's) vote for Stephen
son, should Tilton be elected, denied to-
day that he had received any money
from Senator Stephenson, either to
further Stephenson's candidacy or his

not worked for Senator Stephenson in
