Of legislation in behalf of the city of
Milwaukee may go through for the
most part. Heretofore, this kind of
business has been a great cause of
delay, as the Milwaukee members
were strong enough to make trouble
if they cared to. The present mem
bership is likely to give Milwaukee
about everything it wants in the way
of special laws, on the theory that
the city can fight 1t out better than
the legislature Thus the progress of
legislation for the state at large has
been quickened.
