MADISON, Wis, March "a gentle

resolution condemning United States
Senator Robert NJ La Toilette was
shattered in the first half-hour Of the
session. Each side blamed the other.
The break came when Speaker Whittet
ruled that forty minutes Of debate was

Assemblyman Evjue, La Toilette floor

Assembly numbers one hundred men,

such as that Of the La Toilette rcsolu-

of the whole membership, OF tfty-one
votes. It also requires this number to
raise the call, which permits business

When the Assembly was called to
order Speaker Whittct announced that
the La Toilette resolution was the or

Assemblyman Rosa, who shares the
La Toilette leadership with Eviue, inn
mcdiately announced that he wished to
amend the resolution. This brought a
demand from Assemblyman Chapple
LCvalist, for the previous question
which would have prevented the
amcndment and would have limited de-
bate on the resolution itself to forty
minutes. Charges of gag rule" from

Even before his trip to Salina,
Mr.. Huff had been attracted to the
Parrett because of its clean, COM

tractor performance.
At Salina he had an opportunity
to prove the wisdom of this idea by
witnessing the Parrett being SUBJ

The Victor Motor company, 2525

Potash Reduction company, Hoff-
land, Neb., a Dart two-ton truck
equipped with a special body and
pneumatic tires.
The body was made in the Dart
factory at Waterloo and the truck
driven overland from Waterloo to
Omaha by one of the testers con-
nected with the Dart plant.
At Omaha a change of drivers
was made and H. B. Campbell, dis
trict sales manager for the concern,
left this morning for >Hoffland to
make delivery of the truck. When
delivered at Hoffiand the truck will
have travelled better than 800 miles,
which distance stands favorable

land delivery.

Before leaving Omaha the truck
was loaded with some two and one
half tons of freight for the Potash
Reduction company. Mr.. Campbells
schedule calls for something better
than 100 miles per day.
In speaking of the trip he said
ITO most people ride of better
