HEM MY is NOMINATED
JUNEAU MAN TO BE REVENUE
COLLECTOR FOR WISCONSIN.
Succeeds Henry Fink, Who Has He'd
Position for Thirty-Seven Years
Called karei Victory. 4

Washington, ID. C.-The homina-
ton of Paul NJ Hemmy to be col
tector of internal revenue, First dis
trict of Wisconsin, has been sent to
the senate by President Wilson. 1t
was referred to the finance commit
tee for consideration In executive ses-
sion of the senate shortly after it
was received. 1t is doubtful, how
over, that any action will be taken
upon it before the holiday recess.
If the appointment is confirmed by
the senate, Mr.. Hemmy will sue
reed Henry Fink, who has occupied
the office almost continuously for
thirty-seven years. The salary is
$4,000 and some fees.
The choice of Mr. Hemmy is her
aided as a victory by the Karel Dem
ocratic forces and ends a bitterly
contested tussle among the Demo-
cratic factions in the state.
The original candidates for the
place were T. J. Fleming, West Allis,
and State Senator S. w Randolph,
Manitowoc. Mr. Fleming was said
to have the favor Of Secretary of
State Bryan, while Mr.. Randolph was
understood to be looked upon with
greatest favor by the progressive
wing of the democratic party in the
state.
Mr.. Hemmy managed the Karef
campaign for governor, acting as
mittee. He was an original Clark
man. The fact that Wilson carried
the state is, by some, largely attrib-
uted to Mr.. Hemmy's efforts in his
behalf.
