INSURGENTS KEEP

HOT WATER.
OF THE DEMOCRATS
MAKES SITUATION uNcER-
TAIN FOR PRESENT.

Washington, March 25.-Like a
South American revolution. the insur-
rection in the republican ranks in the
house refuses to be subdued. While
there is no apparent indication OF any
movement on the par, of insurgents
20 reopen their fight, it is known that
no rule to limit amendments to the
tariff bill has been brought in because
of the uncertainty of the intentions
OF Murdoch of Kansas and other In
surgents." 1t is understood that the
rules committee is merely awaiting a
favorable opportunity to bring in a
rule which will limit changes in the
Payne bill to the committee amend
ments.
This rule. which probably win be
presented before next week, will not
put off the reading of the tariff bill
under the five minute rule, but it is
proposed as a means of preventing
unnecessary delay in bringing about
its passage. AS several republican
members have announced their inten.
ton of forcing record votes on GER
tain proposed amendments, it may al
so be the purpose of the rule to pre-
vent such votes being taken.
The proposed rule would be opposed
by large number of republicans and
democrats alike. but as it would pre-
vent votes being taken for the purpose
of putting members on record with
regard to certain schedules it might
receive the support of those repubIi.
cans who desire to offer amendments
to the bill.
Champ Clark and the minority
members of the ways and means com
mittee have announced their intention
OF opposing any rule which will tend
to limit the offering of amendments.
Democratic leaders would, in that
case, expect the insurgents" to
stand by them. The consideration OF
the rule also would require the demo
cratic 'ibolters" to go on record again.
The insurgents" believe that all
southern democrats who voted for the
Fitzgerald amendments would vote
with their fellow democrats.

ASSEMBLY DOWN
ON COFFIN NAILS

Assemhlyman C. Fl. Dorner. the
watchdog of personal liberty, vigor-
ously assailed Assemblyman V. II.
Cady's cigaret bill in the lower house
yesterday With him it was the old
story-you can't regulate morals by
law The youth must be trained at
home, not hedged about by legal re-
strictions.
The bill provides that every per
son under the age of IS years who
shall smoke or use cigarets in any
form at any time or place within this
state and every person under the age
of Is years who shall smoke or use
cigars or tobacco. in any form, on any
public road, street. alley or park or
other lands used for public purposes
or in any public place of business or
amusement, except when in company
with a parent or guardian. shall be
punished by a fine OF not more than
$25 or by Imprisonment for not ex-
ceeding 80 days"
Then is the age in the existing law
raised from IS to is years regarding
cigaret fiends, but from 10 to Is years
respecting kids who may smoke any
thing "in any form"
After Mr. Dorner had voiced his
views, Assemblyman D. B. Stevens of
Rhinelander. gray-haired gentleman
not unlike the Milwaukee man in age
and physical aspece. gray hairs in
cluded, said that it made his blood
boil to hear such talk from a man who
himself probably was a father "or
ought to be-" Cigaret smoking in
boys is an awfdi habit, he declared.
He had seen high school youths at
home so accursed. He had four sons,
and they all smoked nut not cigarets.
He had earnestly sought to keep them
from tobacco in any form but mis-
home training had failed, he was sorry
to sa' Frank Hammill. Spooner
editor. was sorry the bill did not read
80 years instead of IS" and he
thought it duty for the state to
throw every safeguard around its
BOYS
The bill was then .ashed with en-
thusiasm to third reading. not more
Than two dissenting votes being audi
bic when the noes were called for.

WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE
To Be SUBMITTED
SENATE COMMITTEE MAKES FA.
VORABLE REPORT ON
STOUT BILL.
Madison. March %.

Madison, March %.
Woman's suffrage will be submitted
to vote of the people at the fall cleo
ton in 1910 if the recommendation of
the senate committee on elections is
adopted by the legislature. The COM
mittee yesterday reported favorably
the Stout bill submitting the question
to the voters
The committee also reported for
passage Senator Lehr's, 447s, which
provides that the names of non-parti-
san candidates for judicial positions
shall be arranged upon the judicial
ballot alphabetically and according to
the first letter of the surnames of
each candidate
Senator Pearson's, 272s, was recon-
mended for indefinite postponement.
This measure provides that beginning
in 1910 all towns in counties contain
ing less than 100000 of population
shall elect one supervisor for the
term of one year, one for a term of
two years and one for term of three
years; and annually thereafter one
shall be elected. Under the present
law each town must elect three super
visors each year and considerable OBJ
ietion developed to this system. One
of the main objections set forth by the
friends of the bill is that in case three
new supervisors are elected, none Of
them are familiar with the affairs of
the town whereas under the Pearson
bill there would be two holdovers each
spring.

the innovation. and Axel Johnson op-
posed. The latter called attention TO
the fact that the bill also reduced the
annual appropriation from $4,000 TO
$4,000. S. A. Towne explained that
he had sought to save the larger
amount. but failed
The bill was Their killed by an over
whelming vote.
One member had ready to offer an
amendment requiring the regents TO
hire alternately Baptist, a Lutheran
and Knight of Columbus for insti-
tute work, br. the course the bill took
obyiated the necessity of urging mis-
proposal.

The practice of using free carriages
to and from the polls on election
days received sharp condemnation
from Professor r. H Meyer, chair
man of the state railroad commission
before the class in transportation yes
terday morning. Professor Meyer be-
lieves this sort of transportation ia
wrong and akin TO bribery He said:
1T is perhaps all right for the old
war horses of politics to make use of
these carriages, which are often fur
nished by those who could not afford
to hire a rig otherwise But the in
telligent rising generator should not
lend aid to this practice by accepting
rides in free carriages ON election
