ISAAC STEPHENSON
MAY LOSE SEAT
IN SENATE
COMMITTEE DECLARES
ELECTION WAS CORRUPT
Governor and Legislature of
Wisconsin Urged to Send Re-
quest to Washington for
Thorough Investigation,
lBy Morning Journal Special Leased wirel

lBy Morning journal Special Leased wirel
Madison Wis, Jan. IL. - "The
nomination, in the primary and the
election to the United States senate
by the legislature of Isaac Stephenson
is null and void because of attempted
briberies and corrupt practices by
himself and his campaign managers
agents and workers, and of violations
of the laws of Wisconsin defining and
furnishing offenses against the elec-
tive franchise"
This Is the gist of the findings oi
a special senatorial investigation
committee in its report to Governor
Francis r. McGovern today and sign
ed by Lieutenant Governor Thomas
Morris. Senators Spencer. w. Marsh
(Rep.), and Paul Husting (Dem.).
The two republican members be-
long to the so-called progressive
wing of the party and Senator Hust-
ing, the democratic member, calls
himself progressive democrat.
Early in the legislative session of
1909 resolutions were introduced In
both houses, calling for an investiga-
! tion of the senatorial primary. The
resolutions were pointed at United
States Senator Isaac Stephenson, who
according to his report filed with the
secretary of state, had expended over
100000 in the campaign.
Speaker Bancroft of the assembly
named a committee composed OF a
majority Of stalwart republicans and
Lieutenant Governor John Strange
who then presided over the senate
named Senators Marsh, Morris and
Husting. The committees met In
Joint session for several weeks, wher
the assembly branch of the commit
tee decided to go no further.
The assembly members of the com.
mittee, some time after 1t had de.
cided that its work was complete
rendered report in which was
recommended the enactment of n Law
regulating campaign expenditures
and at the same time. saying there
was no evidence of corruption on the
part of Senator Stephenson.
Following this. special resolution
was adopted by the senate making the
three senator's named special in.
vestigation committee to inquire fur
ther into the primary election.
Treated from the standpoint as
having signed as members of the join,
committee it may technically be call
ed minority report. On the other
hand. as the result of the work of q
special committee 1t is an independ-
ent report.
The assembly members of the joint
investigation committee are scored
for their alleged failure to assist In
la thorough investigation.
The report was submitted to Gov
ernor McGovern about ten minutes
before Senator Marsh's term as state

fought out twelve of the house mem
bers in attendance protesting against
such a rule. While discussion was at
its height. word came that the sena-
tor was dead and Immediately the dis
seniors began accusing supporters of
the caucus rule of planning to con-
troll the majority membership of the
house in the matter of selecting a
successor to Senator Hughes. They
charged that the so-called machine"
element had been informed that SEN
ator Hughes condition was critical
and that the caucus was called for
the purpose OF taking snap judgment
on the anti-machine men. This accu-
sation was vehemently denied, how
ever.
Republican members of the legis-
lature today discussed informally
who of their party leaders should re-
ceive the complimentary vote of those
members. Progressives assert that
Colorado republicanism was proven to
be of that brand at the recent election
and progressive should be honored.

chine" has 81 votes, a majority of
two. The platform democrats and
republican number 40.

WILL GO SLOW ON
TARIFF REVISION
Democrats Propose First to RatifA
Canadian Agreement.
REDUCE NECESSITIES OF LIFE
The Farmer is Not to Be Overlooked
and ceneral Business Interests
viii Not Suffer They
Saw.

Washington, Mar. Irresponsible
leaders in the senate and house made
it plain that it is not the purpose of
the Democratic party in the extra
session to run amuek on the tariff
question. Senator owen the new lead
er of the progressive democracy in
tso upper house; Senators Bacon and
Ogerman and Champ Clark, who is to
be speaker have declared that sanity
ard common sense viii be the rule of
action Of their party. The predict
that Republicans who are expecting
TO see the Democratic party split on
the tariff rock will find it emerge
from the Sixty-second congress united
and stronger then ever before.
According 10 the program these
representatives members talked over,
the reciprocity agreement is to be
atifed and those schedules that in
volye monopoly, controlled products
and the necessities of life VIII be he.
yised. The remainder of the SEIZED.
ules will be left for the regular ses-
sion. There will be no Wholesale re-
vision and no upsetting OF business
generally. While the reciprocity
agreement is under way in the senate
the house committee will work out
its scheme of revision regarding wool
and cotton, WOODEN and cotton goods,
flour, dressed meats and other neces-
saries of life and probably agricul.
tural implements. The farmer is not
to be overlooked. Whatever action
the Democrats may take it will com'
pensate the farmer for the free ad.
mission of agricultural products from
Canada and remove from his should
ers the burden of carrying the entire
load of tariff taxation. In return for
free farm products from Canada the
farmer is to be given either free or at
greatly reduced rates the articles he
onsume and the implements with
which he raises his crops.
The general business interests viii
not suffer, unless it be the agricul-
tural implement trust and with this
kind of a program before them the
responsible leaders believe the extra
session can be limited to about three
months.

livery was selling for S1.1S a bushel.
Good wheat -four sold on the Chi
cago board of trade for $1.55 a barrel.
Five weeks ago this same flour was
selling on. the board of trade fer
$685. a barrel.
The end of the decline in the prices
of wheat and flour is not, according 10
men who keep we'll posted ON eoRdl-
tons, in sight. Il is freely predicted
on the board of trade that wheat will
sell almost as low as 20 cents a bush
el before there is an Improvement
The falling OF ia tae price Of wheat
and flour is, if good judges of eondi-
tons are not wrong in their prognos-
tieation, merely the forerunner OF a
general decline in the prices of all
articles that have made the price Of
living such a burden TO the poor nan
the wage Garner and the salaried
man. for so many months back.
1t is freely predicted that prices
will 20 tumbling all down the line;
that provisions and meats viii be low
er and that the man who carries a tin
dinner pail to work each day viii
again come into his own-that the
dinner pals will again be filed With
good nourishing food, meats in par
ticular purchased at reasonable
prices.
The United States government
crop report estimates the amount ol
wheat held on the farms March ],
1911 at the enormous total Of 1860.
GOO bushels. On the board of trade
they add to these figures 43,133,000
bushels as the visible supply not in
Guided in the government report and
that $4,000, coo bushels estimated as
being held in the hands OF miliers, in
eontry elevators and X the shape
of flour. This brings the total Of
wheat and flour in the country on the
first of the month according TO the
best estimates, 279,S23, 900 bushels
F \ year ago the total figured the same
way was 268, 10000 bushels. There
are no buyers for this enormous
amount of wheat. There is no export
trade: the millers are not buying;
wheat is at a dead s%tandstill. On the
Chicago board of trade the worlds
greatest wheat market, there was sold
only 5000 bushels Of wheat.
There are $1,000 barrels Of -four in
Chicago at the present time. Flour is
piled up in the s~torehouses, in the
elevators, on the seaboard-eyery-
where. That is why prices of flour
have declined.
As the market in wheat and flour
goes, so goes the provision market.
The dealers in provisions make no
secret Of the fact that, in their belief,
the end OF the high prices is in sight.
They reason in this way:
The continued high prices have
ractieally driven the consumption Of
meats out of the market. The poor
man could not afford to buy; the rich
man curtailed his buying. Consump-
| ton of meats has fallen off to a mark
ed degree. Stocks are piling up prices
must go down. The poor man will
come into his own again.
Over production of wheat is given
as the cause for the glut on the mar
ket. Farmers have been getting high
prices for wheat and have increased
their acreage year by year. There
have been nc bad years. The United
states cannot consume all of the
wheat that is grown in the country.
There is no export trade. Hence the
glut in the market and the decline in
prices.
