Politicians of State at Loss
to Figure Who viii Con-
troll the Legislature.
MANY CANDIDATES ARE WILLING

The speakership contest for the as
sembly is assuming rather definite
lines. Although the LaFollette people
are doing all they can to forward the
candidacy of Assemblyman Harry G.
Mortensen of New Lisbon and there is
a chance for his election because of the
number of progressive members in the
assembly, it is plain to be seen there
are some LaFollette men who, with the
idea of harmony in the assembly, will
not support Mortensen, but will vote
for either Lawrence Whittet or Geo.
P. Hambrecht.
AS the candidates. of Messrs. Whit
tet and Hambrecht are acknowledged
to be single lineup with the inten-
tion of a union of the forces upon the
stronger there are many wise ones in
the legislature who believe that the
harmony program will succeed and
that the assembly speakership will go
to either Mr.. Whittet or Mr.. Ham
brecht.
eJs
Nye can succeed only as compromise
movement and Assemblyman-elect G..
Paulus of Madison is hoping for some
support for his candidacy for similar
reason, under the claim that his cleo
ton could not be construed as a conser-
vative victory. The ultra LaFollette
men, however, are working hard for
Mr.. Mortensen and are by no means
discouraged, according to their claim.
In fact, the hardest work that is be-
ing done for any candidate at this
time is being carried on in behalf of
Mortensen's candidacy.
For the first time in many years a
real speakership canvass is in pro-
gress among the democratic members
for the complimentary vote of these
members for candidate for speaker.
Both Assemblyman Hansen of Mani
towoc and Chris Pickhardt of Fond du
Lac, are writing letters to democratic
members-elect, requesting their sup
port for the democratic nomination for
speaker. Neither Of these men may
get the honor, however, as the pro-
gressive democrats, in view of the ac-
tivity of Messrs. Hansen and Pick
hardt, are doing great deal in sup
port of Edward Nordman of Polar, Mr..
Nordman, however, is himself not lift
ing hand in the matter.
G. E. Shaffer will be chief clerk of
the assembly. Assemblyman E. A.
Everett, said he did not believe that
there will ever be any candidate nom
mated in the assembly caucus against
Mr.. Shaffer and that his election is
generally conceded.

Opcu Market Test.

The big bond houses have uo' h~.n
overenthusiasiic about the resumption 81
public trading in bonds. Up to now most
OF the bond business has gone to those
houses with a Street business. A pub
lie market on the floor Of the excha nge
VIII bring competition for these house,.
Bond specialists and many brokers who
usually turn their bond orders over 10
the strictly bond firms will take a hand
in the game.
In the second place the announcement
That tho exchange was TO reopen had q de-
pressing effect upon the over the counter
business. As soon as the news came on,
that the exchange would reopen the de-
mand for bonds listed and unlisted SUBJ
sided and people with bids in 20 be
executed under the market withdrew
them. This was on account OF the theory
that with tho test Of an open market
prices were likely To decline rather than
advance. Also there was the natural de-
sir" To see At what level the exchange
authorities would fX the minimum prices.
Tho prices that the authorities settled
upon az reasonable will certainly h. con-
sidered as more or less OF a standard
everywhere.

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.


Fears OF a tremendous rush OF liauida
ton in bonds Immediately upon the re-
sumption OF open dealings on tho exchange
to-day are not altogether reasonable. The
only chance of such a development would
seem to be the possibility that great
many scattered sellers will choose the
first moment 10 throw their securities
upon the market. The more serious
liquidation. that represented by concen-
trated holdings. IL not likely to be in
evidence at all. Liquidation OF that kind
docs not take place that way except in
panic times Interests with big blocks Vt
securities to dispose of would have moth
ing to gain by smashing the market or
allowing II to be smashed.
THIS may explain the rather notable
absence of heavy offerings in the invisible
market that has been the case Peopie
with bonds to sell know that the marke,
was not big enough to take any consider
able amount of selling. and so any at
tempt to sell on big scale was avoided.
IL is fear of selling. rather than the sell
ing itself. provided that this Is done
judiciously. that does the mischief
IL may be expected that any attempt
to scare the buyer will be avoided Notn-
ing would he more likely to brighten him
than bad day for prices at the start.
The market Is likely 10 be nursed along
until the demand is broad enough to
absorb selling. \ quiet opening day
therefore IL looked for.
