HOA Y.

w. D. Hoard has resigned from the
board Of University Regents. His for
NAL resignation is such a peevish,
undignified, and ungracious attempt to
criticise the excellent appointments Of
Governor McGovern, that even his
Stalwart friends must feel ashamed Of
the petty spirit it displays.
In the days Of Stalwart supremacy
Mr.. Hoard was able to get a double
quartet to sing a Standpat hymn and
sound. loud Amen to all prayers Of
Thanksgiving that the board Of regents
could "repress the teaching Of danger
Gus progressive and Democratic ideas"
It is our firm belief that the great
University Of Wisconsin will be wisely,
efficiently and honestly administered by
the new board.
Certainly the University President
can now teach Conservation, and the
departments of History, Economics,
Political Science, and Sociology, can
teach modern theories, without fear
that the Board of Regents will "can"
them for offending any Special Interests.

A MAN WITH AN AK TO
q RIND?

Last week the Milwaukee Journal
published a news item regarding the
Kleczka educational bill. In it they
quote j. T. Guffin, "who is supporting
the bill in behalf of labor organizations
in this and other states" Until this
winter Mr.. Guffin has been the agent
for school textbook and school supply
hOuses,-has sold texts to the Milwau-
kee School Board. If legislation is
passed, which requires a union label on
school books, there are but few COM
panies that could comply with it,. One
company could. MI. Guffiin is reported
to have worked for that company.
Now a lobbyist from a text book
publishing house would not be received
with as cordial a welcome as the lobby
ist of union labor organizations. The
union label may be a mere cover for a
special joker.
Even some of the common school
readers now in use have two interesting
stories. One is about THE Wolf That
Wore a Sleeps Hide" and the other is
about "a Man With an AK to Grind"

SENATE REPUBLICAN, CAUCUS
Cullom of Illinois Made Chairman and
Harmony Prevails.

Washington, April 5.-All Republi-
regulars, participated in the party eau
Gus that was held Immediately after
the session Of the senate. The action
Of the caucus was harmonious through
out. Senator Cullom was elected
chairman and as such will name the
committee on committees and the SEN
ate steering committee.
Twelve i%nsurgent Republicans in
the senate submitted a proposal look
ing to harmony in the new %organiza-
ton of the senate. They made a claim
to %one-fourth of the patronage of the
senate and one-fourth representation
on important committees, and the
right to decide for themselves what
the committee assignments of the
twelve should be. The leaders of the
conservative wing are apparently dis
posed to concede these demands.
The twelve Republicans who were
banded together were Senators LaFol-
lette of Wisconsin, Cummins of Iowa,
Bristow of Kansas, Clapp of Minneso-
ia, Borah of Idaho, Bourne of Oregon,
Poindexter of Washington, Gronna of
North Dakota, Crawford of South Da-
kota, Brown of Nebraska, Dixon of
Montana, and Works of California Sen
ator Gamble of South Dakota, who at
times has voted with the insurgents,
and Senator Townsend of Michigan,
who was confidently claimed as an in
surgent, did not enlist under the insur-
gent banner.

OPENING OF the SENATE
Many of the Old Guard Repub-
Iicans Are Missing.
Taking of Oath Reveals an Embarrass.
ing Situation for Wisconsin
Senators.

Washington, April 5.-The opening
scenes in the senate were of secondary
interest to the public, but hundreds
who were turned away at the house
doors sought the senate galleries and
the latter were crowded long before
noon.
The seat that had been occupied for
almost twenty years by Eugene Hale,
of Maine was filled by Elihu Root, Of
New York state who had levied on the
Maine veterans vacant seat. In place
of the stalwart figure of Nelson w.
Aldrich of Rhode Island, was sitting
Theodore Burton of Ohio. 1t was the
same way with half a dozen or more
other well known Republican senators
whose names have disappeared from
the roster and whose seats are now
occupied by more recent arrivals in
that body. All told seventeen new
names were added to the senate list
and OF these all but five were Demo-
Gratis.
The senate opened promptly at IL
o'clock with every seat except three
occupied. Senator Terrill, of Georgia,
and Senator Tillman, of South Caro-
lima were preventes from being pre-
sent by illness ana the sea left va
cant by the death of Senator Hughes,
of Colorado, has not yet been filled.
The names of the new senators were
called in groups of four and they
stepped forward to the vice presidents
desk where Mr.. Sherman administered
the oath. In addition to the senators
who were entering upon their first
terms, the oath of office was admins
tered to a number who had been re-
elected.
Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin was
escorted to the vice presidents chair
by his colleague, Senator Isaac Steph-
enson of Wisconsin. Ordinarily they
do not speak as they pass by, but there
was a ludicrous effort to be agreeable
and courteous on the part of each.
This was evidenced when in separat-
ing after the oath had been admins
tered the Wisconsin senators get rat
tied and grasped left hands.
When Senator O'Gorman's name
was called Senator Root, who had
crossed over from the Republican side,
extended his arm and escorted his
new Democratic colleague forward to
the vice presidents desk. Senator
O'Gorman's wife and their seven chill
dren, six daughters and one son, were
in the galleries.
Just before taking a recess Vice
President Sherman did a gracious act
toward a ~vanquished political oppo-
nent when he invited John w. Kern,
/ rival nominee for vice president in the
1908 campaign, to preside over the
senate. The new Democratic senator
from Indiana had just been sworn in
and he was consequently the first SEN
ator called to the chair in the Sixty
Second congress.

SESSION UNDER MOTION
Opening of TWO Houses Is Occasion
of Great Interest in Washington
canadian Reciprocity Bill
Introduced.

Washington, April 5.-The first SEES
sion of the SiXty-Second congress,
called by President Taft to act upon
the Canadian reciprocity agreement,
got under way amid scenes of great
rejoicing on the part of the Democrats.
1t was the first time the Democrats
had come into control in sixteen long,
lean and weary years.
In the house Champ Clark Of Mis-
souri, was elected speaker soon after
the body was called to order at noon.
MI. Mann of Illinois, chosen minority
leader, supplants Cannon, nominally
at least, as the house boss of the Re-
publicans.
The vote on speaker was: Clark,
217, Mann, 1871, Cooper 16, Noras 1.
In his address on assuming the gavel
Speaker Clark outlined the measures
through which the Democratic party
hopes to continue to enjoy the faith
of the people.
Intelligent revision of the tariff,
election Of United States senators by
popular vote, changes in the house
rules to permit proper consideration
of public measures, economy in hand
ling the purse-strings of the country,
the publication Of campaign contribu-
tons, and the early admission of New
Mexico and Arizona to statehood were
some of the things the speaker empha-
sized in the Democratic program as
measures which would be undertaken
by the majority party in the house.
Reciprocity and tariff revision are
the tasks before the lawmakers-the
former set by President Taft in his
call for the special term and the lat
ter by the new Democratic majority
in the house, in compliance with what
they regard as a popular command ex-
pressed in the election last fall.
Both measures have strong support
in the national legislature, but there
are party differences on the matter of
procedure, and on this question the
political m%aneuvers of the session
will turn.
F~orestalling action by the Demo
Gratis, Representative Mccall Of Mas
~sachusetts introduced the Canadian
reciprocity bill, which was passed by
the house last session

KNITTING BEATS c.. {. MERRIAM
Defeat of Milton j. Foreman Is Fea-
ture of AIdermanic Election
In Big City by Lake
Michigan.

Chicago, April 5.-For the fifth time
and by a majority Of 1000 Chicago
has elected Carter H. Harrison as her
mayor. Charles E. Merriam, his oppo-
nent. was knitted by the Republican
machine men, while the expected de-
fections of the Dunno Democrats did
not materialize.
Milton ]. Foreman's defeat by AL
Third ward was the big feature of the
aldermanic election.
In the Democratic wards Harrison
piled up record-breaking maiorities. In
the Republican wards Mr.. Merriam's
showing was Disappointing. He did
not run nearly as we'll as Fred A.
Busse four years ago. This was true
in the so-called reform wards, where
he was expected to sweep all before
him.
Professor Charles E. Merriam, alder
man of the Seventh ward and the Re-
publican candidate for mayor, con
ceded his defeat in a formal statement
issued about s o'clock.
81 am satisfied with the fight my
friends made" he said. 1--WE pre-
scented the issues of honest and pro-
gressive government and the voters
have replied. l congratulate Mr.. Har-
rison on his victory and wish him well
in his administration"
Incomplete returns indicate that
Harrison carried with him the rest of
the city ticket, Francis D. Connery for
city clerk, up for reelection, and Hen
ry Stuckert for city treasurer. Figures
at midnight give Harrison. Democrat,
177,36S; Merriam, Republican, 100. 276;
Rodriguez, Socialist, 22.294; Brubaker,
Prohibitionist, 2.977.
The Republicans probably will have
t~hirty-four members of the new coun.
Gil and the Democrats thirtyrsix. This
Is a gain of four Republicans owe the
election of one year ago.
