a position by tie Republican state
central committee, threatened to dis
close certain information she posses
sed.
Senator Severson, himself La
Toilette man, who was author of this
resolution, charged in the senate that
an official of the state prohibition de-
partment had been taken to the Madi-
son police station. Senator Severson
also wanted the committee to probe
The alleged kidnapping" of Senator
Barney Moran, who disappeared
from Madison on the eve of close
vote on a tax bill favored by Gov
Blaine. When Moran returned a
week later, he told of a night auto
ride in company of state policeman
and some others, followed by lavish
entertainment at sequestered
country home. The policeman claim
ed the kidnapping had been contriv-
ed by "higher ups" The man who
drove the auto has refused to tell who
his employers were.
1t was juicy story at the time,
and when the La Toilette Blaine
steam roller fiattened out Senator
Severson's investigation, it gave the
Conservatives something to talk
about. They have utilized their OPP
portunities only mildly, poking fun at
Gov. Blaine's Teapot Dome issue, and
also at Senator La Toilette, who by
his Endorsement of Gov. Blaine is
held to have condoned the suppress
sion of investigation in his own state.
They recall what La Toilette Blaine
senator's said about the resolution,
and what has become of the senator's
who were vigilant in killing it.
Senator A. E. Carey, for example,
declared he would favor a resolution
if there were anything to investigate.
The charges of malfeasance and mis-
feasance in the resolution, he declar-
ed, were not worth the paper they
were written on" they were chased
on something that may have been
gathered in barber shop of a sewing
circle" The proper method of in
CURRY, he held, was grand jury. Mr..
Carey has since been appointed secre-
tary of the civil service commission.
Senator John E. eastman objected
to the resolution because eff we start
this thing there is no telling where it
will end--it will produce trouble, and
no investigation ever accomplished
anything" He said the senate would
defeat the purpose of the farmers
who sent them to Madison if they
started an investigation (which would
muddle the tax controversy" Senator
eastman was later appointed regent
of the university, and he is now La
Toilette Ninth district candidate fo~
delegate to the Republican conven-
ton.
Senator 0. H. johnson, who helped
to fight the resolution, was later APP
pointed deputy insurance commits
sioner. Senator George Stauden-
mayer, another opponent, became
member of the state highway com
mittee.
1t is also noted that Eric Onstad,
secretary of the Wisconsin Progress
sive association, who did not file its
campaign report, was appointed dep
uty state treasurer. Miss GEM
Thompson, who did not file the report
e the Women's Progressive associa-
ton, was appointed member of the
civil service commission.

To the Honorable, the Judges of the
Circuit Court for Charles County.
Your Honors

To the Honorable, the Judges of the
Circuit Court for Charles County.
Your Honors
We, the Grand Jurors for the Nov
term of the Circuit Court for Charles
County, have this 18th day of Nov.
1924. completed our work of inYesti-
cation and beg leave to submit the fol-
lowing report
We have examined filty-three wit
nesses, found eleven presentments, and
returned eleven true bills. We dis
missed two cases for want OF sufficient
evidence.
We have had the Constables appear
before us, and they reported no viola.
tions OF the law in their vicinities.
We examined the Court House and
Jail and find the wall in the Grand
Jury room is in bad condition and by
so being is also damaging the wall Ia
the Clerks office below, and recon-
mend that the County Commissioners
have necessary repairs made at once.
The Jail seems To be in fairly good
saitary condition, but we recommend
that the County Commissioners have
the toilet fixed therein, and also that
toilets be installed in the Court House
for use of the public, as the one now
outside of Jail is unfit for use.
We sincerely thank the Court for its
consideration and courtesy, and the
States Attorney, Sheriff and Clerk
for the help and prompt assistance
they have rendered us in our work.
There being no further business be-
| fore us, we ask to be excused from the
present service, subject to the call of
the Court.
