way In which the day appears to them and in
the simple feelings and emotions by which 1t is

his fellows finds It almost impossible to vitalize

many things to say to itself; it is at once clos
ing of accounts and the opening of new career.
Old things pass away and all things seem to be-
come new. The things that might have been and
have not become are forgotten in the new hopes
and aspirations and ambitions which spring up in
the heart on the first day of the year.

ton district; another by Mr.. Hull pro

penalty for violation of the excise law
from $25 to $50. Assemblyman Chap
pie has a bill in providing that the
minimum license for saloons shall be
$500 and the maximum $1,000. Assem-
blyman Keup introduced a bill provid-
ing that a saloon shall consist of only
one room, with a single entrance or
exit opening on a public street, and
prohibiting screens or blinds.

Not Compelled to Vste.

Assemblyman Hambrecht, member
Of the senatorial primary investigation
committee, Friday read letter writ
ten by Assistant Attorney General A.
G. Titus in July, 1906, in which that
official declared that person signing
nomination papers of candidate was
not morally bound to vote for such
candidate. The question came up in
the examination of Attorney Charles
French, who signed Cooks nomination
papers and later voted and worked for
Stephenson.
J. r. Jones of Racine, the first wit
ness Friday, said he received $783.50
from the Stephenson campaign fund.
Witness could not remember all the
details. He explained he received $3.50
for himself
Mr.. Morse of Fond du Lac said he
had received in all 500 from the
Stephenson fund. He told Earl Nor
gan, Stephenson's son-in-law, and
Henry OVerback he did not care to
take charge in Fond du Lac county,
that he was too busy, and that if they
wanted him he would have to be paid
$25 a day, just what his clients paid
him
Mr.. Morse said he worked eight
days, which meant 5000 for himself.
He spent the remaining $500 and more
for workers, travelling expenses, bill
posting, postage, etc.
Ex-senator J. J. McGilliveray testi-
fed that he used up 5000 in organizing
Jackson county for Stephenson.
During the session Chairman Marsh
accused attorneys for Isaac Stephen
son of coaching witnesses. The
charge called forth an indignant de-
NAL from Attorney W. E. Black, who
is looking after Stephenson's inter
ests.

French, an attorney of Lake Geneva,
testified to receiving $500 from Mr..
Edmonds for Stephensons campaign
expenses. Witness kept no account Of
his expenditures. Asked how he knew
when the money was gone, Mr.. French
said: I've been that way before"
He admitted signing Cooks nomina-
ton paper but told Cooks solicitor
later of his change of heart. ]. E..
Morgan of Oshkosh, the next witness,
received $4,000 from Senator Stephen
son direct. The money, he said, was
paid to him after the primary and was
to reimburse him for money spent
during the campaign. He could ac-
count for all but about 5000 paid in
small amounts to workers. Mr.. Nor
gan's account included LOO for gen.
eral organization work; private dona,
tons, 1925; Oshkosh Baseball associa-
ton, $125; Oshkosh Home Coming,
5000; Fountain at Chautauqua, 800

WHAT THE BADGER
SOLONS ARE DOING
TELEGRAPHlC NEWS FROM THE
WISCONSIN ASSEMBLY.
HOLD A SPECIAL SESSION
SoIons Vote to Continue Meeting of
1909 for Purpose of Framing
Laws on Many Sub
iecfs

MadisOn-The Wisconsin Legislature
will meet in special session for the
now before the legislature. The issues
are: Income tax, insurance Of bank
deposits, state industrial insurance
and taxation of water powers.
The concurrence in the senate
amendment Wednesday for the spe-
cial session resolution was by viva
Yoce vote.
The special session of the legisla-
ture will be held next January. The
amendment offered by Assemblyman
Mcconnell to refer these matters to
the proper state authorities was lost.
The motion to hold the question over
for further consideration was defeat
ed, and finally by concurring in the
amendment the assembly voted for a
special session
Mr.. Ingram said that the best way
to dispose Of the matter was to lay it
upon the table as no other agreement
seemed possible. He opposed the spe-
cial session idea, saying that in go
years there had been but six special
sessions, a list of which was given. He
said he was in sympathy with the po-
sition of the governor in believing that
no special session is necessary and
that work could be done speedily and
at once.
Mr. Cleary took exception to several
Of his remarks The governor, he
said believed that if it was possible
10 clean I'm the work ii should be
done; otherwise these matters ought
to be taken up in special session; that
the four questions were the biggest
propositions which have confronted
any legislature and must be given the
fullest discussion. The people wanted
the legislators, he said to do their
duty not hurriedly but intelligently.
He suggested that action be deferred
for a few weeks.

Wisconsin Eoots the Bill.

Henry Overlook, a former state
game warden, Wednesday told the
legislative senatorial investigation
committee that during his term
of office he spent the states
money for political purposes, and that
whatever political work he did during
his term was at the order of the gov
ernor as his superior officer.
Senator Morris, following this state
ment, moved that a certified act of
Overbeck's testimony be sent to the
attorney general. The motion was
carried by vote of to /.
Mr. Overlook was on the stand near
ly the entire day. He told of disburs-
ing $40 of the Stephenson campaign
fund but could render no definite
statement OF the money paid out,
500 went to E. S. Minor, a congress
sional candidate in Green Bay. He
made preliminary arrangements
with several others for campaign
work
He also arranged a meeting between
Rev. Eppling, Lutheran minister, and
Mr.. Edmonds for the purpose of secur-
ing the formers services for the Ste
phenson campaign. Mr.. Overlook adj
mitted that the matter of donation to
the Lutheran college at Watertown
had been mentioned to Rev. Eppling,
but would not have the committee un-
derstand that Senator Stephenson had
pledged a donation in case of his nom
ination at the primaries. He expressed
the belief that $107, 900 could be legiti-
mately spent in state campaign and
said 100000 had been spent ten years
ago.
Stephenson Gave $4,000.
Herman L. Ekern, former speaker
of the assembly branch of the legis
lature, was the most prominent wit
ness before the legislative committee
