Senator Joseph FadWay, natty,
debonair, finely groomed, Yolublc,
said to be wealthyas his talents
would imply, is yet q socialist. He
frankly hopes to live to see a seven
hour worldly, though he is reput-
ed to labor without limit himself.
Another of the Milwaukee socialist
group is Assemblyman Thomas NJ.
Duncan, a correct dresser, dark,
boyish, modest. likable, and Of

way bill, through, the, senate, car
fies a q cent gasoline tax. Milwau-

Just as it strongly negatiyed the
Padway basic Sfhonr bill. the sen
ate .repudiated the proposition to
establish a state printery. The
vote on each was essentially the
same, II to IS In one case, Is totI4
in the other. Both measures were
