Chris Saugen, Assemblyman, Dies Monday (Continued from page 1) turesque members of the legislature and during the political career of the late Sen. La Follette he was one of bis closest advisers. Whenever Sen.

La Follette returned to the state from Washington and wished to know the political sentiment of the state he always sent for Chris Saugen to advise him. A quiet, modest old gentleman, Mr. Saugen seldom spoke nt length on the floor but he was one of the best students of legislation in the assembly and always knew what was In a bill that he was voting for. He read every bill carefully and what he did not understand in the measure he looked up in the legislative reference library, He made a specialty of agricultural legislalion and each session always organized a srroup of farmer legislators to protect the interests of the farmers so far as legislation was conccrnrd. A Chris Saugen SUiry One of the most interesting stories concerning Chris Saugen hapiencd in the 1925 session of the legislature during a bitterly fought Blaine bill to repeal the personal property offset.

The bill, had passed the senate and was in the lower house and Its fate was in doubt, the lines between factions closely drawn. The Progressives were quite apprehensive over the prospect' In the assembly and several of them had a conference the night before the bill came "What's going to happen?" the one "What, does said the new farmer." Nevertheless they asked Chris Saugen and he pulled out of his pocket a book in which he had forecast the vote of every member of the assembly on the based on their records. So closely had he checked, that when the roll call was taken. Chris Saugen's estimate was correct in detail. He had forecast the passage of the bill by the exact vole for and against.

Philip F. LaFollctte, Progressive candidate for governor commented on the death of Mr. Saugen as follows: "Christian N. Saugen served Wisconsin well as a member of the Wisconsin legislature. When the Progressive movement was securing Its foothold in Wisconsin Mr.

Saugen was one of the most helpful and aggressive leaders in his community. "Other men basked more in the limelight, but for cool Judgment, for thorough understanding of the needs the people, for loyalty to the Progressive cause. Wisconsin has never had a man more devoted than Christian N. Saugen, He will be missed in the legislature. He will be missed in the counsels of the Progressive movement.

He will be missed by the people of Wisconsin who believe in equal and cxa ANXIOUS TOM: Was the old on told him wa SAM: Violent? I sny so. Whv.
