ISAAC STEPHENSON
TO SENATE AGAIN
Receives S. Out Of I23 Votes
Cast in Joint Session.

Madison, Wis, March 5.-United
States Senator Isaac Stephenson was
reelected to the United States senate
by the joint assembly of the Wisconsin
legislature on the tWenty-third ballot,
having received 63 out of 1913 votes
cast.
The election follows long-fought
contest. The Stephenson men made
careful preparations for the days bal
lot, following their loss of a victory
Wednesday.
Although Senator Stephenson was
the sUcce ssful candidate at the primary
election, his opponents had fought
against his election by the legislature
because of the filing of number Of
specific charges by Senator John J.
Blaine alleging corruption during the
primary campaign. Before the time for
balloting arrived movement was
started looking to legislative in
Quiry into the senatorial primary and
after a struggle a joint resolution
pointing to that end was adopted.
While the investigation has been in
progress two weeks, nothing, it is be-
lieved, has developed so far that would
endanger Mr.. Stephenson's seat in the
senate
The friends of Senator Stephenson
claim he was really elected on the sep
arate ballot of both houses preceding
the joint ballot January 26, when he
received majority of the ballots cast
in each house. Lieutenant Governor
Strange, however, refused to recognize
an election and ballots have been
taken in joint assembly every day
since that time that the legislature has
been in session.
