SHalrS OF the Legislature.
{ denounced Mr. Cary for the letters
that he circulated concerning the uni
versity. It appeared that the issue in
the fight between Mr.. Cary and Mr..
Kittle was not so much what Mr.. Cary
had accomplished or failed to accom-
plish by virture of his position as SUI
perintendent, but-the university Mr..
Cary made an independent fight of it
and won, and therein hinges fact
that constitutes food for serious
thought
Sentiment Against University.
The vote for Mr. Cary is expected
so have a bearing upon bills pending
in the legislature which relate to the
present administrative policy at the
university. 1t seems certain that I'M
less something is done to meet the
growing sentiment against the univer-
sity that there will be a smash-up.
That this unfriendly sentiment exists
and is groWing-a fact which even
the friends of the university now
cranky admits accounted for on
the ground that the policy of the uni
wersity is too secretive. Speaker Hull
believes that the bill pending to
throw open to the public meetings
eof the regents will do much to relieve
"a feeling of restlessness and suspi-
ecion Declaring that he is friendly to
the university, first, last and all the
time, Speaker Hull intends to make a
HoI1
at the university.
The feeling is growing here that the
present administration at the univer-
ssity is rushing into a serious situa-
eioH, involving the best interests of
the state institution, which may
easily be avoided. It is known that
La Fcl1ette leaders who campaigned
the state in the recent gubernatorial
controversy were astonished and
alarmed by the unfriendly feeling to-
ward the university which they found
in the country districts. The report
came back to Madison that such a
feeling did exist, and men prominent
sin the La Toilette movement learned
from the people themselves that the
Gary letters were taken seriously
Men about the state considered that
Mr.. Cary was making fight for what
he believed to be right, and that
when all of the trimmings and conjec
yGure are removed, is the most plausi
BILE explanation of why Mr.. Kittle was
.decisively defeated.

NOTHING HEINOUS ABOUT
OPPOSITION SAYS JAMES.
Senator-elect James Sees No
Harm in Refusing To COnfil m
G. o. P. Appointments.

Washington, Jan. 4. Senator
elect Ollie James remarked today
that he couldn't see any thing
heinous in Democratic failure to
confirm Republican appointments
made this session.
For fifteen years and eight
months" said Mr.. James, the
Democratic senators have been
confirming the appointees of Re-
publican senators, and for just
that long Democrats have been
out in the cold. Now that we
have carried the country, a Pres.
ident who received the least
votes of three leaning candidates
should not be permitted to name
members of that sub-minority
party for four years more. Of
course, the Republican senators
feel angry about the Democratic
attitude now, but by the time the
-hew administration GENES in and
things get moving, | predict that
they will feel better and see the
justice of Democrats coming into
their own.
For my part, l shall continue
to try to prevent confirmation of
Kentucky Republican appoint
ees."
