THE WISCONSIN sENAToRsHIp

Much attention has been directed to the situation in Wisconsin where owing to the death of Senator Hust- ing that state is represented by only one member in the upper house of congress and that one Senator LaFol- lette. Because of the stand which he has, taken and the opposition which he has shown to the government in and out of congress it is the desire that that state should have an out and out American as it's other sena- tor.
 In order to fin the vacancy for the remainder of the uncompleted term Governor Philipp of that state has to appoint and in order to give that body some inkling as to the one ht has in mind for the place he has an. nounced that if he is given the power that he will name Congressman Len. root. As an American there can bs no question regarding Mr. Lenroot'. qualifications and there is little doub but what the people of that stat. would reelect him to the office wher the regular election comes around. H, has record for standing by the ad. ministration's war measures so tha he cannot be opposed on that ground whatever his politics are
 Whether La Toilette can infiuencl the legislature to block. this plan fl order to try out his strength in tn, state and give him chance to tr. for the election of a colleague wh, will be more in accord with his view remains to be seen. The governor il endeavoring to prevent the expense 0 a special election at this time and il Wisconsin the fight is bound to b. over the matter of La Toilette con trol. The outcome will therefore b awaited with more than ordinary in

AS A KID TOM CAMPBELL
 MADE GOOD
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

Tom Campbells first public work, l think, was as assistant postmaste, when I had charge of the postoffice of Prescott about 25 years ago." said E. J. F. Horne yesterday. The force then consisted of myself, Campbell and girl and we all had to take our coats off and work Although only about Is years of age when he first went to work in the postoffice, Tom was big for his age and tremendous ly m earnest. I did not hesitate to put on him all the responsibilities 1 would have shouldered on man, and want to say emphatically, that he never disappointed me.
 There was never time that did not feel perfectly safe when l knew that Tom Campbell was looking after any part of the work. There was never time that was not absolute ly sure that I could leave town and know the work of the office was be- ing covered as we'll as if I were on the spot to look after things myself.
 Campbell worked with me for over six years. He grew from boy to man under my eye. It is a pleasure to me to recall those years and I am glad that people are in terested in knowing how thoroughly responsible a fellow Tom was even las boy
 A Republican administration made Tom Campbell postmaster of Jerome and he went there to assume that position. It is a matter of record that he organized the work of the postoffice of Jerome so that the folks got better service than they had ever known before. Although he had only reached his majority. 1t was Tom Campbell who re-organized the Jerome Fire Department and estab- lished an efficiency that enabled the men of the town to put up an ef- fective resistance to the fires that were then happening with disas- trous frequency. It is worthy of note that in all these activities, Tom Campbell was not officious He was SO big and so honest and so really hustler and 100 per cent he-man himself, that even the pushers and the older folks did not resent his activities and he had behind him all the clements of the town that were worth counting on.

(From Saturdays Dailyl

CFrOm Saturdays Daily]
 Members of the Northern Arizona Bar Association, which, with the Journal-Miner Publishing Company, was this week made a defendant in a libel suit filed in Maricopa county by Attorney l.. B. Whitney, an- nounced yesterday that Attorney Robert l.. Morrison of this city had been engaged as chief legal represen- tative for both Of the defendants, and arrangements are now under way to give Mir Whitney touch of high life al the time the case Is called.
 Mir Morrison was one of the mem bCrs of the committee on resolutions which drew up the set of articles which Mir. Whitney complains of and he is unable to understand why he was not included in the list Of eight attorneys singled out by the plaintiff. In fact he feels somewhat sighted to think that the Phoenix lawyer failed to consider him while making up the list of men from which he hopes to collect divers parts of the fund of Sl00000 which his com plaint alleges that he wants as a balm for his wounded reputation.
