ELMW0oD ELoPEMENT F0ILED

Saturday morning Miss Eunice
Weber and Otto Bucholtl took the
train for ST. Paul without ostentation
intending to be quietly married. they
thought none of their relatives knew.
But the would-be brides mother
didn't like the arrangement and tele-
graphed to the St. Paul police depart
ment. When the happy young couple
reached the city blue-coat was wait
ing for them at the station, instead OF
a preacher, and they were taken to
the police station instead of to the
bridal chamber.
Tony Fleck went up in the after
noon and brought them back Monday,

temporary postponement of their
dreams has decreased their ardor.
They may be happy yet, we'll bet

STATE
LEGISLATURE
oILING THE MACHINE

An incipient ia Toilette for Presi-
dent boom is seen in the Wlscon-
sin legislature now that the session
has progressed to the point where po-
jitical movements are becoming more
clearly evident.
Otto Johnson, prominent La Fol-
lette senator, said that he was plan
ming a resolution which would give
an expression from the Wisconsin
legislature recognizing La Toilette as
the leader of tn, Progressives and
urging that he become candidate
for president as Progressive Repub-
lican. This, he said, would be an mi
tial step to get the senior senator IN
TO the presidential race.
There have been two moves in the
legislature indicating an under-cuf-
rent of influence to push the sugges-
ton of La Toilette for president.
Senator johnson introduced reso-
luton, adopted by the senate, calling
for nomination Of the president and
yice-president by a direct vote OF the
people. Assemblyman Miners reso-
luton repudiates the criticism OF La
Follette's war attitude.
Certain state officials of Wisconsin
are already using envelopes in their
official correspondence with LA Fol-
lett for President" in large type on
the face. This is all taken to show a
general attempt to prepare the way
for a boom.

sKOGMO, LONE DIssENTOR

Without much ado, the senate CO.
porations committee of the legislature
held a hearing on the Severson bill.
providing for repeal of the secrecy
clause to the state income tax law,
and reported the measure Friday for
passage. Senator George Skogmo,
former secretary of the committee of
A, entered the only dissenting vote
to the committee report.
The hearing on the proposed re-
peal of the secrecy clause, which fig
ured in the last political campaign
and was responsible for the election
of the legislature, was run off with
out any spectacular clash.
George Kull, secretary of the Wis
consin Manufacturers association,
entered protest on behalf of his or
ganization and the State Federation
of Labor recorded its sanction of the
bill. After these short entries into
the record the bill was voted on by
committee members, with four favor
ing and one dissenting.

WOULD. GRANT CHILD RIGHTS

A bill that would grant all rights
of legal paternity to children born
illegiti,nately in Wisconsin as win
troduced by Assemblyman Erick IL.
Johnson, Frederic.
"The bill does not intend to coun-
tenance indiscriminate associations IN
any way" Mr.. Johnson said. Prom
1916 to 1921, inclusive, there were re-
ported the births of 5,278 Legitimate
children in Wisconsin. This evidently
cannot be stopped by laws and it is
the aim of my bill to put the blame
where it belongs and make the of
fender pay"
The burden of establishing pater-
nifty and fixing the obligation OF
maintenance would be placed on the
father instead of the mother, under
the bill. The child born illegitlmately
would also carry all obligations of
legal paternity and would be granted
full rights of inheritance on both
sides.
The bill closely resembles similar
legislation enacted in Minnesota and
Norway.

which would make it penitentiary
offense for any judge to be a candi-
date for or accept an Office of public
trust other than a judicial Office while
serving on the bench.
This measure, Endorsed by the adj
ministration, is intended to prevent
judges of any court of record in the
state from entering political fights.
The bill puts teeth in the present
statute prohibiting judges in circuit
courts or the supreme court from be-
ing candidates for political offices. 1t
provides a prison sentence of not less
than one year and fine of $4,000
together with loss of office, for any
Judge who violates its provisions.
