TO GUST STEPHENSON
Concluded from First Pagel

election to the United State senate.
That the Legislature bring about
the enactment of legislatation to pre-
vent recurrence of these corrupt prac-
tees in the state.
That a copy of the report be certi-
fed to the attorney general and that
he be instructed to institute in the
proper counties of the state prosecu-
tons against all persons shown by the
evidence to have been guilty of cor
rupt practices or bribery in connection
with Senator Stephenson's election.
The report consists Of 100 type-writ-
ten pages of 10000 words. 1t was
signed by State Senator f. NJ. Marsh,
chairman, Thomas Morris, present
lieutenant governor, and State Sena-
tor Pa Il Husting, members of the
committee
The national congress has nothing
on the Wisconsin legislature when it
comes to fighting over rules, The pro-
gressive Republicans are behind y
movement to reduce the number Of
committees in the senate from II to
and to make a sipilar reduction in
the assembly. A little politics on the
part of the Democrats and the Social
lists, however, has thrown a new light
on the rules situation. In assem-
bly, the progressive Republicans desire
to have the committee appointed b.
Speaker Ingram. The Democrats and
Socialists are insistent that the idea of
the insurgents in congress ought to be
followed, the committees to be ap-
pointed by a committee composed Of
one representative Of each Of the
three dominant parties, Republicans,
Democrats, and Socialists. 1t is prob
able that the progressive Republic
ans will win out in this little point
and that Speaker Ingram will appoint
the committees, which surely will be
well loaded with progressive Repub-
leans.
