ment, by special order passed several
weeks ago, to vote on this Legislative
day. but this parliamentary phrase

publican senators : have been under
fire for alleged use of corruption funds
in the work that brought about their
election, the, other being that of Sena-
tor Lorimer of Illinois. still pending

The anti-Stephenson forces in Wis
consin, in charges which were brought
before the Madison Legislature and in
vestigated there, attacked the manner
in which money was used in conduct
ing the primaries that brought about
Mr.. Stephenson's election. During the
Investigation Senator Stephenson ad-
mitted that 100000 had been ex-
pended by him for election purposes,
but insisted that all of it had been
spent in legitimate ways. The senate
investigation was conducted by sub
elections committee. headed by Sena-
tor Hepburn of Idaho and full
elections committee report, accom-
panied by a resolution, declaring tnat
his election was valid. This resolution
is pending along with minority
resolution offered by Senator Jones of
Washington declaring Mr.. Stephenson
was mot duly and legally elected to

In Chicago Episcopal

upon the Sacrament Of Marriage,
during which he made the following

President Has EightofT
teen Districts and Major
ity in Convention; New
York Primaries Tuesday.

Indianapolis, Ind, March 25.-Four
district conventions this afternoon and
the state convention tomorrow will go
far toward deciding the close contest
between the Taft and Roosevelt fac

publican convention. The third, fourth.
fifth and eleventh districts today are
to elect two delegates each and at to-
morrows state convention four dele

of about $50 in the state convention
