IN LOCAL POLITICS.
REPUBLICAN CLANS ARE BEGIN
MING TO GATHER TOGETHER.
GEORGE A. YULE FOR SENATOR
Kenosha Republicans Are Unanimously in
Favor of HIS Nominatton-Sco6eid
For Governor and Cooper
for Congress

candidates for the State and Congress
sional conventions has been issued and
the friends of the various candidates
have begun to get together to urge the
claims of their favorites. The cam
paign for the nomination of the candl-
dates will prove to be an interesting
one and before the fight is ended the
traditional friendship hitherto existing
between the Republicans of Racine and
Kenosha county will be brought to its
most severe strain.
The fight for Governor in Kenosha
county is all one sided. Scofield is a
candidate and no other names are
mentioned. Early i'll me year there
was one man in KenOsha who favored
La Toilette, but he has become dis
gnsted with his erstWhile favorite and
SAYS now that his nomination would be
a fatal blunder by the Republicans OF
Wisconsin. The feeling all over the
county is the same and the Kenosha
county delegates will undoubtedly en-
dorse the splendid administration of
Governor Scofeld and urge him for a
second term.
| The matter of choice for Congress
promises to be more knotty question,
but not for the Republicans of this
county. KeAosha city and county are
satisfied with Congressman Cooper.
He has done everything that one man
could do in the halls of Congress forhis
constituency. Nothing has been too
small to demand his careful attention
and nothing has been too large for him
to grapple with. The harbor question
under his superintendency has gained
great Roadway and he has served this
county as we'll as the entire district in
painstaking manner. Some opposi-
ton, however, has developed against
him amongst a few politicians of Ra
cine who seem to think more of the
appointment of postmaster than the
welfare of the district. Prominent
amongst these elements are W. T.
Lewis and Editor Starbuck. The one
is sore because he was not given a
postoffice and the other is anxious 20
get Cooper out of the way in order to
make his race for State Senator an
easy matter. AS yet the opposition to
Mr.. Cooper have placed their honor on
no particular candidate, but are con-
stantly in search of some one who will
allow himself the pleasure of being de-
feated by the great company who favor
the popular Congressman.
But there is to be one fight, and
Kenosha promises to be in it from start
to finish, and that is the struggle for
the candidate for State Senator. Ke
nosha city and county has but one
candidate and that is George A. Yule.
Unassuming and reluctant, the gentle
man in question has not attempted to
push himself into any political office or
favors, but willing to be only private
in the ranks, he has given his time and
money for the advancement of the Re-
publican party and Republican inter
ests in Kenosha and Wisconsin. While
private in the great Republican host,
- has ever been recognized as leader
and his valuable advice has been the
guiding star amidst political troubles
for many years past. When work is TO
be done none are more ready to lay
aside the coat and roll up the sleeves
and fight for right and principle. In
the thickest of the fray his honor has
remained untainted and neither Re-
publican nor Democrat can say that
George A. Yule ever stopped to politi-
cal trickery gain point for which he
contested. Fair and impartial, he en-
ters into the fight for the Senatorial
nomination, not pushing himself, but in
the hands of his friends. That he is
qualified no one can doubt. His bust
ness reputation is known to every
posted man in this county. While
conservative, he has mapped out MANY
bold business propositions which have
made his name a synonym for bust
ness energy and business success. A
man widely read and we'll acquainted
with the literature and politics of the
nation, he stands ready to enter the
Senate the equal of any member of the
upper branch of the legislative house
of the State. Mr.. Yule is not pushing
his candidacy, but it is certain that he
would accept the honor if it is con-
firmed upon him. Against Mr.. Yule
are Racine's two chronic candidates,
Assemblymen W. T. Lewis and Mosier.
At the present time it seems that Mr..
Yule will be an easy winner.
Assemblyman Reynolds is reported
not to be candidate for re- election
and District Attorney Buckmaster has
been mentioned for the Office. 1t is too
early as yet to determine anything
about the county official candidates,
but time will undoubtedly bring out
large field of candidates eager to take
advantage of the big Republican ma.
