their chairs.
An unrebuked profiteer appeared with
a bucket of coffee and box of sand
witches, disposed of them quickly, and
sent out for more.
The resolution passed by the senate
a week ago and by the assembly today
follows
THE people of the state of Wisconsin
always have stood and always will
stand squarely behind the national gov
eminent in all things which are essen

nounce any attitude or utterance OF
theirs which has tended to incite Sc
dition among the people of our country
and to injure Wisconsin's fair name be-
fore the free people of the world"

RETAIN
CONTROL OF HOUSE
Successful in -Four Special
Congressional Elections in
|. New York City

NEW YORK, March 6.-Control of
the house of representatives was re-
gained by the Democrats yesterday
when they elected their candidates from
four districts in Greater New York at
special elections called to chose sue
cessors to four members OF that party
who had resigned their seats In con-
gress
New York women had their first
chance to vote since they won the right
at the polls last November. 1t was
significant that they cast 31,S5S votes
out of a total of 1912 in the four dis
tricts. They voted early, seemed TO
have made UP their minds what they
were going to do before they received
their ballots and they asked few TOOL
ish questions"
The successful candidates were:
seventh District. Kings County-John
l. Delaney, to succeed John j. F1tzger-
aid. 49,,
Eighth District. Kings County-Wil-
liam f. Cleary. to succeed Daniel j.
Griffin.
Twenty-first District. New York
County-Jerome 4. Donovan, to sue
coed Murray Hurlbert.
Twenty-second District, New YORK
and Bronx Counties-Anthony }. Grit-
fin. to succeed Henry Bruckner
In all the districts the Democratic
nominees were elected over their Re
publican opponents by comfortable
margins. The most surprising feature
was the fact that in the Twenty-second
district. which includes part OF the
borough of the Bronx, the vote cast Tor
the socialist candidate exceeded by APP
proximately zoo that given the Repuollc'
an nominee. The socialist vote in the
other districts was negligible.
The only district which had woman
candidate was the Twenty-first. where
Mrs. Mamie CoIvin ran on the prohibit
ton ticket. Her vote was $50 out or a
total of 1881.
In the same district the Rev. Reverdy
Ransom. a negro, who was denied
nIace on the ballots because the courts
ruled there were not enough names on
mis- nominating petition, received 400
votes. There are many thousands OF
negro voters in the district, and Ran
som sought the Republican nomination
against John A Bolles. When Ii was
refused him he became candidate OF
the United States Colored league.
In none of the districts was there
any especial issue involved except that
of marty politics. Chief interest cen
tered in the baby carriage vote. the
results indicated that majority OF
the women who took the trouble TO
register so they could cast their ballots
were guided largely by the policies OF
their husbands or male relatives. All
the districts are normally Democratic
