Tell of His Plans.

over currency and tariff bills as a
member of the senate minority. but
hale and hearty withal. Senator Isaac
Stephenson has returned to Marinette
for the holidays
1t was hoped that some time during
the recess the senator would break
his long silence with a statement re-
garding his political intentions. It is
the consensus TX opinion here that
unless Stephenson does issue a state
ment to the contrary II may be as
sumed that he will make another cam
paign.
Members of his family strenuously
oppose the idea OF his continuing in
public life, saying the senator has
made no reply to their questions and
they are as much at sea regarding his
plans as is the general public.

days ago, it is now believed that be-
fore long there will be final word
on the subject from the administration
which will make future dinners of the
same kind impossible. The Carabao
society is composed OF army, naval
and marine officers who saw service in
the Philippines during the troubled
four years succeeding the Spanish
American war. Some civilians who
we're former officers OF one or the
other of the services also hold mem.
bership in the society.
Once a year the members give
dinner and at it they turn loose in
song and joke. At the last dinner
some of the songs and the jokes were
of the same general nature which had
been sprung before at other dinners,
and sprung unrebuked. They aroused
the indignation of President Wilson
and members of his cabinet and an IN
Vestigation was ordered.
Those who say that the president
should have paid no attention to the
matter base their view on the Sact
that it is only once year and ut a
social gathering that the officers oil
the armed service get chance to turn
loose and express their minds on sub
jects political and Legislative. Durins
the rest OF the year they are bound
by regulations of the government ana
