1t appears that Senator Isaac Step
henson will Try to 90 back TO the sem
ate. even if he is not armed with an
election certificate from the joint
legislative assembly. When the trou-
Die first began, the senator received
a majority of the votes in both the
Wisconsin house and senate, but
when the legislature met in joint as
sembly 10 ratify the vote of the
houses separately, Uncle Isaac failed
10 get majority OF that body. His
resourceful supporters have figured
out that the joint assembly vote is
mere formality anyway and that
Uncle Isaac doesn't need it. It re-
mains 10 be seen what the national
senate thinks about it, if the joint
assembly finally elects another man
and Stephenson appears with his
credentials, such as they are and the
other man shows up armed with an
election by the Joint assembly. The
Wisconsin senatorial situation is
becoming so involved that the en-
inent lawyers OF the federal senate
may have very trying time in nm
rayeling il if the Wisconsin legisla-
rure fails 10 relieve them OF the
task.

eft of the people Of the country
must take time; and Mr.. Taft's tenn
permanent, no less than his pledges
to the nation, incline him to accept
the partial good while waiting for
complete fruition. That he will get
what he wants there is little doubt.
He does not "demand;" he does not
say that the people who oppose his
revision ideas are enemies of re-
vision of any kind, he does not as
sert that the standpatters, on the one
hand and the indianapolis reformers
on the other hand, are equally to
be reprobated by all honest men
But in the quiet reference to his
election pledges and his power Of
veto there is reinsurance.

a little interest money which would
be added by allowing the warrants
to run little longer time. AS he

life in recent years has been so mis-

in the light in which he belongs.
