WHAT THE BADGER
SOLONS ARE DOING
NEWS FROM THE
WISCONSIN ASSEMBLY.
TELLS OF BRIBERY HINT.
Assemblyman Leuch at Probe Says
He Was Told He Could Have
Anything He Wanted for
Helping Quorum.

Madison-"Now I am authorized to
you want, If you'll stay in-you needn't
vote for Stephenson, but stay in
there"
This statement Assemblyman Leuch
Friday told the primary investiga-
ton committee was made to him by
d. H. Davis, private detective in
the employ of Henry Overlook, one
of Stephenson's managers, if he would
stay in the joint convention in order
to build up quorum when the vote
for United States senator was being
taken.
Leuch said he "cut Davis short"
by telling him he would not vote for
Stephenson. He added he considered
staying in and building up a quorum
under such circumstances equivalent
to voting for Stephenson.
Game Warden Stone, the next wit
ness, went over some of the testimony
covered in previous sessions. He re-
ferred to his letter to Warden Immel
telling him he wanted to keep the de-
poi IAuCAL OuI VI JULIUS dLISI nO AASW
that "the boys were soliciting and col
lecting campaign funds" However, he
did not see anything wrong in the
collection of campaign contributions.
Stone insisted that he did not col
lect more than $1,000 for the David
son campaign fund. He did not accept
contribution from Deputy Warden
Buckley because he was afraid Buck
ley would "give it away"
Stone also admitted that he thought
Demonds would naturally infer that
the money given by him to Stone
would go mostly to the game wardens.
Witness held to his original story as
to paying $1,000 to Gov. Davidson in
three instruments. He disputed Gov.
Davidson's testimony that the gov
ernor sent to him to call and explain
about the fund made up by the ward
ems.
Adolph Rosenheim told about spend
ing $345 of the Stephenson fund in
the Ninth ward of Milwaukee. Most
of the money went for treats in sa-
looms. Rosenheim admitted that he
knew nothing about the suit to pre-
vent the investigation until Senator
Lehr and Attorney G.. F. Lamb of
Madison gave him the papers to sign.
Rosenheim's name appeared as plain
tiff in the unsuccessful Lehr suit.
