CRISIS IN WISCONSIN.
Test to Come In selecting Hust-
inE's Successor.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.--The sudden
elimination OF Senator Husting from
public AFFAIRS will bring to the State of
Wisconsin within a short while oppor.
tunity for a test by Statewide expression
at the polls Of the feeling for and against
Senator Robert NJ. La Toilette. the
pacifist colleague Of the dead statesman
There is no doubt that Senator Ia
Toilette will bend every effort toward
debating the person who shall be the
Republican nominee. This will precipi-
tate fight within the ranks OF the Re-
publicans OF Wisconsin in the primaries
to be followed in the event Of La Fol-
lettes success in naming the nominee by
bitterer fight at the polls at the spe-
cial election which undoubtedly Gov.
Philip will call.
For this reason the loss which Wis
sonsin has suffered in the untimely ee-
tincton of her distinguished Democratic
representative in the upper house OF
Congress may prove in the end her gain
IL the opportunity which a special elec-
tion affords results in the defeat of the
candidate of the pacifist leader either In
the primaries or in the election which
will follow.
Gov. Philip is a standpat Republican
He will probably name for the interim
representation in the Senate an anti
La Toilette Republican. Several names
already are under discussion. 1t is pos
sible that Irvine l.. Tenroot. once La
Follette's friend and supporter. will be
the selection. Ienroot is serving his
sixth term in the House of Representa-
tives. He Is not a pacifist and has sup
ported the war policy throughout the
war period.
Lenroot is not a standpatter, but Is eso
prominent in Wisconsin political affairs
that Gov. Philip may go outside the
ranks OF his own group Of Republicans
in making the selection.

SENATOR HUSTZNG KILLED.
BY HIS BROTHERS. GUN
WHILE HUNTING DUCKS
Accident Happened in a Boat Near Rush Lake
Wisconsin, When Full Charge of Shot
Lodged in His Body.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Oct. 21.--United
States Senator Paul o. Husting OF wis
consin died at farmhouse near Rush
Lake. Wis, late to-day as the result Of
wounds accidentally inflicted upon him
with a shotgun by his brother. Gustave,
while hunting ducks this morning.
Senator Husting recently returned to
his home at Mayville after the close OF
the extra session Of Congress, where he
was one of the leading supporters Of the
Administrators war programme.
With his brother he had gone on n
hunting expedition to Rush Lake and
the two were In a boat when the acci-
dent occurred. He had sighted flock
of ducks and called for his brother to
fire.
At the discharge OF the shotgun the
Senator rose slightly, receiving the full
charge Of the gun in his back. He was
rushed to the farmhouse. where all
efforts TO save his life were unavailing.
Reports say Senator Husting had
sighted a flock Of ducks and called to his
brother to shoot. He was n front and
as his brother fred the Senator rose.
receiving the full charge of the shotgun
In his back.
Senator Husting was best known in
the Senate Of recent months as one of
the group Of Senators who have been
very bitter in denunciation Of the efforts
Of pacifsts and pro-German propa-
gapdists to influence members OF Con-
gress by means Of circulars and deluges
OF kilograms. He made several ad-
dresses to the Senate in which he de-
clared that the thousands Of kilograms
which he received soon after the out
break Of the war came from German
sources. or at least that the money which
paid for them was German money. On
several occasions he exposed new Ger
man plots to sway Congress by such
means and In virtually every war meas
ure took a stand exactly opposite that
Of his colleague. Senator La Toilette.
Senator Husting was born in Fond du
Lac. Wis. on April 25. 1866, and was
the son of Jean Pierre Husting and Mary
Magdalena Juneau Husting. His grand
father was Solomon juneau. the first
white settler and founder OF Milwaukee.
He was student In the law department
Of Wisconsin University and was ad
mitted to the bar in 1895. He practised
In Mayville and was Dist rict Attorney of
Dodge county, Wis. from 1902 to 1906.
He was elected a member Of the Wis
consin State Senate in 1905 and In 1910
