ELECTION CONTEST

Monday morning Judge Kirwan filed
an opinion in the assemblyman elec
ton contest in Mr.. Lorfelds favor.
The judgment entered in favor of the
Socialist candidate, Rathsack, was
based upon an erroneous stipulation of
facts by the parties that there were
more ballots than voters in the Fourth
ward of the city of Manitowoc. When
Lorfeld upon a motion to vacate this
judgment showed by evidence that
there was not an excess of ballots in
that ward the court vacated the judg-
ment in Rathsack's favor and held
that Lorfeld was elected. The matter
was slated for a hearing before the
committee on elections of the assem-
bly, at Madison for Tuesday afternoon
but was continued to permit of the
proper certified copies of the new de-
cision and judgment to be introduced.
The general impression now is that
Lorfeld has clear sailing, having the
seat, the certificate of election and the
judgment of the court in his favor
The assembly may, however, seat
whichever candifatE It decmE to 5e
rightfully elected and is bound by no
rules in coming to a decision.

January 10; Joseph Gerl of Cato from
tle aviation corps at New York; Ches-
ter Worel from overseas service;
Woreps division was under order to
go to the front line when the armistice
was signed, so the only warfare he eX-
perienced was that of being torpedoed
going over. This he says was thrill
ing enough.
B. S. Hanson arrived home Monday
to resume civil life He is the third ol
six brothers in the service to be dis
charged. Hanson was with the $3.50

vision in France, and like many 9TH

through the right lung at Chateau

entirely recovered. He is lavish in
praise of the Wisconsin troops.

ember 10, Sergt. Charles Shuster at
tempts a pen picture of the DESC
lation wrought by war and wanton de-
struction by the enemy. He is bitter in
denunciation of the devastation delib-
erately caused without military ad-
vantage. He says that in December
bunch of Manitowoc boys ran across
Capt. Shimek who was delighted to
meet the soldiers from home.

EDUCATIONAL.
(By j. w. Voboril)

The following resolution in memory
of the late President Charles r. Van
Hise was unanimously voted by the
Wisconsin senate on Jan. s:
Whereas, s,-Presdent Van Hise was
a Wisconsin man, born and reared on
one of its farms, educated in its
schools, and university throughout his
life a citizen of the state and devoting
his energies to its service. He became
member of the University of Wiscon-
sin in 1876 and there continued until
his death, AZ years later, as student
teacher, investigator, and president.
"As student he won the highest hon
ors of the university, and as teacher
he made his department a power both
in general education and in the pro-
duction of professional biologists.
Trained as a geologist in our univer-
sity and in the study Of problems Of
fered by our state, his ability and in
sight earned for him the recognition
of the scientific world of all nations
for his mastery solution Of the most
difficult and fundamental problems of
geology,
THE characteristics which made
him great teacher, a great scholar,
and a great investigator, he continued
to display to the full as president of
the university. He had a singularly
clear, noble, and growing understand
ing of the duty of state university to
its commonwealth and he led the uni
versity far in the performance Of that
duty. He multiplied and strengthened
the vital connections between uniyer-
sity and state; not only developing
and enriching its scholarship, but also
carrying knowledge and light to all
parts of the state and to all phases of
its life. Thus the University of Wis
consin, under his guidance, became
an example and a leader among the
civic institutions of learning in the ma
ton.
"Dr Van Hise contributed much 10
aid state and nation in questions of
public policy arising from conserya-
tion, the control of industry, and the
newer development of international re-
lations. To them he brought the
same power to analyze problems and
to present their solution which marked
his work a science. Now therefore, be
it
Resolved by the senate, the assem-
bly, concurring, That the legislature
of the state of Wisconsin expresses its
grief in the death of President Charles
Richard Van Hise and records its graf
itude to the state etaOin shrdlu en-
dered to the state through many years.
With grief for the untimely death, with
profound regret for the irreparable
loss, the legislature expresses Wiscon-
sins just pride in her son and records
the inspiring story of his public ser
vices and the noble devotion of his
life
