Senate Inquiry Focuses on Stephenson Election
A Wisconsin Senate inquiry into alleged irregularities in Isaac Stephenson’s U S Senate election was referred to the committee on contingent expenses after a brief reconsideration. The investigation, prompted by the Wisconsin legislature, will probe whether corrupt methods were used, with hearings to be held during sessions or recesses and financed from the Senate contingent fund. Stephenson, 82, worth about 2.9 million, defended his expenditure and said he would cooperate, while La Follette’s supporters push for accountability amid ongoing political strife.
