Washington, Feb. 9.-Senator LaF'o1-
|lette today gave out the following
statement concerning the report that
he is using his efforts to prevent an
investigation Of his colleague, Ste
phenson.
"Hon. A. w. Sanborn, State Senate.
Madison.-The sensational Madison
dispatch published here today says my
friends will vote against the proposed
Investigation of Stephenson because Of
a covert threat that Stephenson pro-
posed to tell how he had spent his
money in my behalf in former cam
paigns. Let no threat deter any
friends Of mine from supporting the
resolution to investigate the charges
Of violation Of law in connection with
the senatorial primary. 1 should be
glad to have Stephenson state fully
and specifically the exact amount con-
tributed to each of my personal cam
paigns, whether to me or to any one
authorized to receive such contribu
tions. I do not recognize money in
vested in Stephenson's newspaper as
contributions to my personal cam
paigns.
