The Forty-Eighth Wisconsin Legislature convened from Шаблон:Nobreak to Шаблон:Nobreak in regular session.[1] During this term, legislative business was largely held in the north wing of the Wisconsin State Capitol, which was the only part of the capitol to remain intact after the 1904 fire.[2]

Senators representing even-numbered districts were serving the third and fourth year of a four-year term, having been elected in the general election of November 8, 1904.[1]
