Milwaukee. Because Senator
Isaac Stephenson was reputed to
be worth $30.000,000 some of his polit
zeal workers thought they ought to be

reason II cost the senator so much TO

phenson's campaign manager in the
county he expended $l1,S00
why did you have to spend so
much money in one county?" asked
Senator Hepburn, the chairman.

might have campaigned for him for

him that the vacuum cleaner might
