w 7 7ASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-A gun
w shot killed q United States
Senator from Wisconsin three
months ago. 1t was an accidental gun
shot, but it begins to appear now that
tho bullet is still exerting a powerful
influence on the history Of the State Of
Wisconsin.
Washington and Wisconsin are a
long way apart. But political field
glasses can see across continents, and
Tor the next two weeks Washington
will be watching Wisconsin and it's
capital, Madison, pretty steadily.
Some time around February 10 Wis
consln is going to name United States
Senator, and Washington is curious,
even to the point of holding its breath
a little bit. Wisconsin may be quite
sure of itself and its stand on the war,
but Washington has had the remain
ing Senator from Wisconsin on the
horizon for long time and he keeps
it in doubt. But this is Wisconsin's
big chance to prove itself.
Madison just now is facing a unique
situation, probably one of the. most
topsy-tuvy situations in contemporary
American politics. Senator Hustine
even in his brief term in the Senate
was able to do a great deal to balance
the La Toilette influence. The Senator
whose career was so suddenly cut short
was a forceful advocate of prepared
ness and for war against Germany
until she should cry quits. His death
when the United States was still strug-
Cling in the early confusion of war
making, played SO completely into the
hands of the Wisconsin pacifists that
they were themselves not little as
tonished. But they didn't let their
astonishment overcome their judgment
They wanted to take advantage of their
new fortune, and they did SO by clam
oring at once for special election
The result, they felt assured, would
relieve Mr.. La Toilette of his loneli-
ness and put blood brother by his
side

Governor Offers
Terms Of COMPROMISE

Out Of this compromise seems
ready to issue. The Governor has en-
tered into negotiations with the Legis-
lature ON this basis:
II will publicly announce the men !
want to appoint to the Senate" declared
Governor Philjpp, "and if my choice
suits wou, 60 ahead and give me the
power of appointment"
The present indications are that the
Legislature is going to try out the Gov
ernor and take him at his word. If he
is to save his face, therefore, and re-
tain the support of the Legislature and
the political strength it represents for
his next campaign for the Governor
ship, he will have to name man the
Legislature is ready to accept.
There are FIVE men who, in these spe
cial circumstances, have a chance to
sit in the Senate for the State Of Wis
consin. Two of them are fine elderly
gentlemen, who would probably be as
good at the Senatorial job as most of
the other Senators. Neither of them
however. would have any particular re
lationship to the affirmative stand
Washington would like to see Wiscon-
sin take on the war. One of them is
Judge Winslow, Chief Justice of the
State Supreme Court. The other is

Governor May Appoint
Husting's Successor

There has been no special election in
Wisconsin. There probably will not
be any. But there will be special
session Of the Legislature, beginning
February 10, called to empower the
Governor of Wisconsin to appoint
United States Senator to round out the
unexpired term of Senator Hustng.
And there are Indications that the ap-
pointee may be a powerful addition to
Hhe support Of the Administrators
war policy, and scarcely boon COM
panion for Senator La Toilette. That
is why Washington is so interested.
The political division in Wisconsin
is complicated. There are pro-Ger-
mans and pro-Americans and pacifist
Americans. and belligerent pro-Ameri-
can German-Americans. Governor
Philip used to be pacifst, but he
isn't any more. He is urgently in favor
of prosecution of the war. But he re-
mains a "stalwart," and as such he is
more or less opposed to the radical
group Of statesmen and economists
who fathered the liberal laws that have
called attention to Wisconsin from all
over the world
If Governor Philip has his own way,
according to the long distance We"
that Washington gets of Wisconsin,
and if the Legislature gives the power
to him, he will probably appoint Il
United States Senator of his own kind.
That is a condition which hangs on a
very slender thread. There are just
enough radicals in the Wisconsin Leg
isl&Sure. men of progressive and lib
eral temperament, to keep the power OF
appointment from the Governor unless
1 ne appoints one of their group.
These men. however, are themselves
faced by dilemma. They are, nearly
/ all of them, men who are not only loyal
to the government, but keenly devoted
to the present cause. They can, if they
choose, threaten to withhold appointive
/ power from the Governor. But Wis.
consn must have a Senator, and the
result might be special election, with
the kind Of Senator sitting at Washing.
| ton that they don't want.
