GOVERNOR
| LOSES IN
HIS DEMAND
Senate Rejects Burke Bill Empow-
ering Governor to Choose Sue
cessor to Late Paul Husting
DEFEATS RESOLUTION
FOR SPECIAL ELECTION
Executive Noncommittal on Pro-
posaI for April PoII---May Defer
Issue to November Campaign
(From Fridays daily.)

The Wisconsin senate Thursday aft
ernoon decided the United States sem
atorial issue by killing the Burke bill,
granting Governor E. L. Philip power
to name the late Senator Paul o. Hust-
ing's successor. Governor Philip was
beaten 23 to 3, with Senators Burke,
Cunningham and Roethe the only men,
bers to support the appointment,
Just prior to this action in the SEN
ate the assembly, by vote of 80 to
10, adopted Assemblyman Arnold
Otto's resolution requesting the gov
ernor to call a special election in April.
The resolution was rushed over to the
senate, where it was killed by vote
of II to 13.
Administration men circulated the
tip from the executive department that
should the senate concur in the house
vote recommending a senatorial cleo
ton in the spring, Governor Philip
would Immediately issue the election
call but this the senate refused to do
because the members seemed to con-
slider the time too short for thorough
campaign in the interest Of loyalty.
GOVERNOR is SILENT
Governor Philip Thursday night de-
clined to say whether he would call
special election for April or let the
matter drift into the general election
in November. He said he wanted time
to consider.
Governor Philips failure to get his
appointment bill through occasioned
no surprise Public sentiment is
strongly in favor Of a special election
so that the people may meet the chal-
lenge that this state is not loyal
Members of the legislature went to
Madison with that idea fixed in their
minds. and at no time have they shown
anv inclination to swing to the govern
er's side.
The break in the senatorial situation
came unexpectedly Thursday afternoon
after Senator Whitman called on Gov
ernor Philip and told him that the
bill to give him appointive power could
not be passed in the senate. Thereup-
on the. governor called Assemblyman
Otto to his office and asked him to
press an early vote on his resolution
for special election next spring.

THE CANDIDATES
AS to the candidates the Milwaukee
Sentinel says.
Joseph E. Davies, member or the
federal trade commission, will be
Democratic candidate with the back
ing of the nteional administration.
There is no out and out Republican
candidate, and an attempt may be
made to unite on a loyalty candidate
at a convention or conference although
there is so little time this plan may
not be regarded as feasible.
The La Toilette people have not de-
cided upon their candidate. Lleuten-
ant Governor Dithmar is the one most
prominently mentioned, but he has
not been agreed upon.
Senator Platt Whitman, one OF the
leading conservative Republicans in
the state, is being prominently meA-
toned. 1t is considered almost GER
tain that former Governor Francis k.
McGovern will toss his hat into the
ring.
Some of the La Toilette men say
that James Thompson, La Crosse law
yer, may be a candidate.
Senator Byron Barwig, Democrat
said that Judge Martin Lueck of Jun
eau ought to make the race and would
be elected

The big point is that there will not
be any discrimination against this
class of transportation The director
general of railroads, like the presi-
dent, is strongly of the view that in
times such as these the people of all
sections, cities and rural districts
alike, need a tonic such as can be fur
nished by clean amusements. There
fore the inclination Of those in high
places is first to furnish amusement,
and this will be done in the direction
of railroad transportation, primarily
wherever possible. And this looks as
though in due time you will hear the
old familiar voice of the announcer
saying, Look out for your horses, the
elephants are coming"

Naturally the transportation of sup
plies and of soldiers and sailors will
come first, not only ahead of amuse-
ment equipment but of everything
else, so that there will be no discrimi-
nation But due to the rapidly i'm
proving weather conditions and the
easing up Of the congestion on rail
road tracts throughout the northwest,
east and middle west, the outlook is
such as to Justify the prOprietors of
road shows in getting ready for their
usual tours without and disturbing
thoughts as to inability to get trans
portati0n facilities.

The following letter from railroad

glad tidings to those in the tented

"The railroad equipment of the coun-

be utilized in every way possible con-
sistent with the wars needs in pro-
viding transportation facilities for cir
cuses and carniyals, which are now
'chafng at the bit in their eagerness

of the attitude of the director-general
Of railroads, Mr.. McAdoo, is official
and comes right from his office in the
interstate commerce commission
building, where all railroad matters
are handled. There will be no espe-
