Governor ignored Summons.

message to the senate refused to
comply with its request and sub
poena for his appearance before the
senate to be questioned as to the re-
moval of Insurance Commissioner
Ekern and the incidents in conneo-
ton Herewith. He denied the power
of one branch of the government to
Investigate another in courteous but
explicit language. He In fact read
the senate lesson to which, how
ever. the senate gave no heed.
ut is not competent to review my
acts, he told the senators. 1.-THE re-
sponsibility lies with the people. not
with the senate or its committees. I"
He denied that Mr.. Anderson had
"connived" at the removal of Ekern.
He had nothing to do with the re-
moval of his predecessor
The mere fact that | have appointed
Mr.. Anderson is probably the best
testimonial | can give concerning my
estimate of his fitness. The
appointment came to him without
any solicitation on his part"

senate voted, 23 to s, to go into COM

Delays DissolNng Injunction.

Judge Stevens OF the Dane county
circuit court dissolved the injunction
restraining Gov. McGovern, l.. A. An
derson and others from interfering
with Herman l.. Ekern as insurance
commissioner. Upon notice by
kkern's attorneys of an appeal to the
supreme court Judge Stevens with
held actual dissolution of the injunc-
tion until Feb. IS.
AS to the question, whether or not
Gov. McGovern had the right to re-
move Ekern, in the limits OF the
action brought, the court determines
that the removal was within the jur-
isdiction of the governor. Coming
with this, is the further order that
the governor, as determine in the
injunctional proceeding, has no right
to seek to install into Office the per-
son appointed The effect of this is
that Anderson must institute proper
proceeding, through quo warranto or
otherwise, to Gust Ekern
The status of the case is practically
where 1t was following the appoint
ment of Anderson. Whatever title
there Is with holding the office, An
derson has. while Ekern holds pos
'ession of the office. The presump-
lion OF the court is that Gov. McGov-
ern will take no steps by force to
eject Ekern and that leSal proceed
ings will be instituted to try the title.
In this respect the decision acts upon
Gov. McGovern as an individual and
not as an official
An attempt to oust Ekern by force
r regarded as an individual and not
an executive act. 1t is believed that
Anderson under the decision has the
legal title to the Office The fact is
that Ekern is in present possession
Whether the move next made to de-
termine who is entitled to the Office
VIII come from Anderson or from
Ekern is conjectural.
Both sides to the controversy claim
decisive victory. The right Of the
governor to remove has been estab-
aished. The question of whether or
not he has the power to place the
Affairs of the insurance department
