Papers, 1909-1918.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122464719

Papers of a Wisconsin liberal Democratic legislator and United States Senator (1915-1917) comprising correspondence, speeches, newsclippings, and other records. Of significance is the material relating to German language newspapers and the attitude of German-American citizens in Wisconsin toward the Wilson administration. Other subjects of less emphasis are the campaign of 1916, neutrality legislation and foreign policy, preparedness, Democratic state politics in general, and prohibition, including a letter on the subject from William T. Evjue. Several letters from members of the Wisconsin Loyalty Legion late in 1917 comment on working-class morale and attitude toward the war. Other items include correspondence, data, and drafts of bills, 1909-1913, concerning the conservation movement in Wisconsin--forest reserve lands, navigable waters, riparian rights, and the control of water power--together with reports of hearings, 1909-1910, conducted by the Wisconsin legislative committee on water powers, forestry, and drainage.
