LA TOILETTE IS
ELECTED SENATOR
Will Serve Six-Year Term Begin
ming March a Next.
CEREMONY VERY SIMPLE
The Two Houses Voted Separate,
Giving Him Majority of Seven
teen of All the Votes Cast
Four Members Absent.

Madison.-The Wisconsin legisla-
ture met in joint session and formally
ratified the reelection of Robert M.
La Toilette to the United States SEN
ate for the six-year term beginning
on March next. The procedure was
simple, the two houses having voted
separately and given him majority
of 81 in the house and II in the SEN
ate, a total Of II majority of all the
votes cast. There were four alb
sentees, two in each house.
The voting in the assembly followed
strict party lines, SO votes being cast
for La Toilette, q for Congressman
Charles H. Weisse Of Sheboygan Falls
(Democrat), and IA for John G. Kle1st
Of Milwaukee (Social Democracy. In
the senate the voting would have been
perfunctory had it not been for the
action Of Senator John M. Whitehead
of GAINESVILLE, long a bitter foe of La
Toilette, who voted for Gen. f. g.
Winkler Of Milwaukee. Senator White
head had voted for La Toilette before,
but then he felt bound by the primary
law. Last summer, however, a mi
nority of the state supreme court de-
clared there was no legal obligation
on the part of members of the legis-
lature to vote for the primary nom
inee, and Senator Whitehead stood
upon his prerogative.

May Add Another Plan.

The bill to extend the dry" zone
so that it will include all of Madison
is inspired, said Mr.. Baker, by the
presence of the state university.
1t also may be SO drafted as to es-
tablish a one mile no saloon zone
wherever there are state normal and
county agricultural schools.
The county option bill will be the
same as the one that caused such a
big contest two years ago, except that
it will have one important modifica-
ton, exempting all counties having
cities of the first and second class.
There are no cities of the second
class and the only one of the first
class is Milwaukee.
The county optionists believe that
this modification will assure the pass
age of the BILL A big fight is antici-
pated in both houses, but Attorney
Baker believes that with Milwaukee
not vitality interested, that the meas
ure will have easier shedding than
two years ago.

Whitehead Explains Vote.

In explaining his vote, Senator
whitehead said:
This is the eighth instance during
my service as senator that this body
mas been called upon to elect United
States senator In former cases, the
last alone excepted, we had been per-
United to elect a senator In accord
ance with a party caucus. In 1909
no caucus was held-the primary cleo
ton was then in full sway. On this
occasion no caucus has been held, but
the supreme court at least has re-
leased from the hold of the primary
law, therefore permitting the original
Tree use of the rights granted under

TO me as state senator of WiscOn-
sin. It would give me unalloyed sat
isfaction to vote with the large ma
]or1ty, but I cannot do this. The per
sonal element in nowise enters into
my action in this matter. | could for
get personal differences, and l long
ago laid aside my personal feelings
regarding the candidate of the pres
ent majority. The question arises,
however, can I support the political
efforts of the candidate of the ma
Jority? Am willing to be held re-
sponsible for his political actions?
TO this l must answer no. One
course alone remains for me. I will
seek no subterfuge, no precedents of
doubtful validity. l am here at no lit
tie discomfort to myself. I therefore
give my vote today to that distin-
guished German-American of Wiscon-
sin, brave soldier of the Civil war,
leader at the bar of the state-Gen.

Commission RENTS Fees.

The misunderstanding between the
Wisconsin Grain and Warehouse COM
mission and State Treasurer A. H.
Dahl over the remittance of fees held
by the former on July 81 last has
been cleared up.
Former State Senator George B.
Hudnall of Superior, representing the
commission, turned over to the state
treasurer check for $1,000 as the un-
paid balance of the money in the in
spection fund of the commission on
July 81 and the suit threatened by
the treasurer to compel payment will
not be brought.
Under the law the commission is
required to turn over to the state
treasury the unexpended balance in it's
fund on July 81. At that time there
was about $4,000 in the fund, but the
commission believed it would need
part of this to pay it's expenses until
the receipts of the fall work began to
come in. In August it turned over
$4,000 and retained the balance.

Submits University Bill.


The expected university bill having
come in, the principal one, by Senator
George E. Scott, of Prairie Farm, pro-
viding for an increase in appropria-
lions for the state college, involving a
matter Of about 100000, the biennial
light on these measures is scheduled
to begin soon. There is a wide di-
vergence of opinion as to the manner
In which the state should provide for
the university, but the trend of SEN
tlment is apparently in favor of being
munificent, though there is a differ
ence Of opinion as to how this should
be accomplished.
Secretary of State Frear has mott
fed the members that of the esti-
mated revenues for the next two
years, all but $S92,000 will be needed
for current expenses and appropria-
lions which continue. Therefore it
will be necessary to find some new
method of raising money for the state

Introduction of Bills DELAYED.


The Introduction of the Mil
waukee bills having been delayed
until probably next week, the legis-
lature had a desultory session, marked
only by the introduction of numerous
new bills. There was a noticeable
falling off in the number of joint res
olutions offered, especially by the So
cialist members, who apparently have
fired nearly all Of their guns.
The evil Of "vote-swapping" and
'log-rolling," which is aimed at in a
bill offered by Assemblyman Merlin
Hull, bids fair to be received with
more support than at first was ex-
pected. 1t is not believed that legis-
lation will stop the trading of votes
on the part of members of the legis-
lature, but may minimize the prac-

Church Notes

Our third quarterly conference ses-
sion held at Webster has passed into
history. The record, such as it is, has
gone down upon the eternal scroll; many
pages are blurred by imperfections and
mistakes, but we are looking forward
to brighter future. The coming into
our midst of Elder Hardness was BEN
ediction to our people, many of whom
rejoiced at the opportunity to greet an
old pastor and listen once more to his
forceful and eloquent appeals. Short
age of crops and fluxuating member
ship make our work peculiarly difficult
in Webster; notwithstanding all this
our condition is far better, compare
lively speaking, than are many other
desolate regions within the district.
The presiding elder congratulated US on
the showing made under adverse cir
cumstances. our Incidental collections
are considerably in advance Of our pres
ent needs and all other claims are well
provided for. Mr.. Forbes has sacrificed
much from his own personal affairs in
order to give attention to our financial
needs, attend to the books, and keep
the church solvent. Much credit is due
