capital of the state of Wisconsin.
There were at the time many other
cities OF the state which were appealing
for the honor of containing the chief
offices and capitol building of the state,
but after a system of lobbying had been
INDUCED In, which would have done credit
or discredit to any succeeding legislature.

WHOLE COMMITTEE
IS FOR INDICATION
INVESTIGATOR SAID TO BE UN-
ANlMOUS FOR ExONERATiNG
SENATOR STEPHENSON.
PROBERs FINISH DECISION
Report Viii Be Submitted to Cong
ress at Early Date-Printers Are
at Work Reproducing Testimony
Given at Hearing.

Washington. d. C.--The predic-
ton, based upon information from
members of the investigating COM
mittee, that Senator Stephenson will
be exonerated of the charges Of cor
ruption in connection with his cleo
ton, by unanimous vote of the
committee, is generally accepted as
accurate by his colleagues in the SEN
ate.
The statement Is made by one OF
the democratic members of the sub
committee which conducted the in
vestigation that the democrats, with
out exception, will vote to clear him
OF the ct.fges in their report to The
full Committee on privileges and
eIeslions 1t is taken for granted
that the republican members will
take the same view and that the Wis
consin senator, therefore, will be
given an absolutely clean slate. In
the present instance the report of the
investigating committee will be all
but final, as it's recommendations
will be accepted by the full commit
tee and the senate itself.
1t is probable that the report will
be one of the first matters to be con-
sidered by the senate. The report
of the Investigating committee, Sen
ator Hepburn said, has been drafted,
but is awaiting the completion ot the
printing of the testimony, which is
now in the hands of the public
printer. AS soon as the volume is
finished and page references to the
testimony can be inserted the sub
committee will communicate its
findings to the full committee. Sen
ator Stephenson himself, although
making no comment on the out
come of the investigation, is conf
dent that he will be cleared. The
only doubt has been as to whether
or not the report will be unanimous.
