CONVENTION HELD AT THE COURT
HOUSE THIS AFTERNOON.
A SMALL NUMBER PRESENT
Several Towns Are Not Represented and
Delegates Are Chosen From Spec
tators-Business of the
Convention.

The Democracy of Kenosha county
met in county convention at the Court
House this afternoon and when County
Chairman John G. Slater called the
convention to order less than fifty
members of the party were in attend
ance and many of the towns in the
county were rot represented by single
elected delegate.
On motion of L. G.. BOhmrich
County Chairman John G. Slater was
made permanent chairman of the con-
vention. Henry J. Hastings was
elected Secretary.
The Chairman appointed a commit
tee on credentials consisting of Walter
Dexter, John Zievers and Jos. Tully,

picked up from the spectators, but no
one was found to represent Wheatland.
The list of delegates being prepared
the convention got down to work, and
proceeded to nominate delegates to the
state convention by ballot.
The delegates were undecided as to
whom should be the delegates, and it
took two ballots before any selection
was made. The double ballot system
seemed to be popular and was con-
tinued throughout the convention. The
following delegates to the state con-
vention were named, Louis G.. Bohm-
rich, John c. Slater, VIM. O'Hare,
Bristol; Matt Fonk, Paris; Ed. Har-
rington, city; Frank Kipgman, Salem;

NAMED DELEGATES.
LOCAL DEMOCRATS PREPARE FOR
THE COUNTY CONVENTION.
WANT o'CoNNoR FOR GOVERNOR
While They Express No Preference for
Congressman and All Seem Pleased
With the Present Re-
publican Official.

Democracy returns to it's first
love-" Such was the expression of a
prominent Democratic politician today
in speaking of the results of the Demo
cratic caucuses held in the different
wards of the city Wednesday after
noon. This is the truth in nutshell
and the election of delegates yesterday
resulted in the choice of many of the
old leaders of the party who were
thought to have been shelved several
years ago. Evidently they understood
the time for disappearing and now that
the party demands their aid they are
beginning to bob up serenely from be-
low. The caucuses of course were very
poorly attended, and if Kenosha is a
Democratic city the showing made by
them Wednesday was exceedingly
poor. The vote in all the wards was
far below expectations, but the dele
gates chosen were such as to indicate
that the best members of the party
turned out. The complexion of the
delegates is exceedingly hard to deter
mine, as the party in both state and
district has not as yet made any move
toward naming candidates.
Several of the delegates were seen
today and stated that as yet they had
given the matter little thought, but
others said that Kenosha county would
undoubtedly instruct her delegates for
James L. OCOnnor for Governor.
In regard to the Congressional can
didate one of the delegates said: 90!
we don't care who is nominated for
Congress, we are perfectly satisfied
with Mr.. Cooper, and if there was any
chance of his defeat hundreds of Dem
ocrats in the district would rally to bis
support and elect him. The conven-
ton will undoubtedly put up candi-
date, but his chance of election is so
small that the nomination will be
nothing more than mere formality."
The following is complete list Of
the delegates chosen:
First Ward-P. Pirsch, W. P.
O'DOnnell, Thos. Hoban, James Pen
nefeaSher, George M. Melville, Maurice
Funck.
Second Ward-Martin Steinmetz,
John HOLMAN, Edward Harrington,

Masons of the City will Demand Original
Contracts.
The masons of the city have formed
a masters protecting association, for
the purpose of demanding from the
carpenters and builders that all work
for brick and stone laying be let under
a separate contract. The masons
claim that under the present way of
allowing contracts for all the work to
the carpenters the masons do not re-
ceive their share of the profits on the
work. The latter receives only the
price of his labor, while the contracting
carpenter receives not only a legitimate
profit on the work, but also on the
material. For this reason the masons
have decided that after today they will
not subcontract work from any of the
carpenters. Those masons entering
into the agreement are E. Goodman,
Tully Bros, James Filben, Nels Busch,
Knut TOrenson, Mikelson & Larson and
Jorgens0n & Larson.

COOPER FOR SECOND PLACE.
E. M. Chain, of waukesha, is Named for
Governor by the Prohis.

E. NJ. Chafin of waukesha, is Named for
Governor by the Prohis
Kenosha will not have a candidate
for Governor in the coming campaign,
but Willis W. Cooper, of this city, will
be candidate for Lieutenant Governor
on the Prohibition ticket. Mr.. Cooper
was strong candidate for the head of
the ticket, but when it was announced
that E. W. Chain, of Waukesha, would
be candidate for the nomination Mr..
Cooper's name was withdrawn and the
successful candidate was named by
reclamation.
Mr.. Cooper will accept the honor
conferred upon him and will be very
active for the party during the coming
campaign.
The platform on which Mr.. Cooper
was nominated is as follows:
The Prohibition party of Wisconsin
assembled in convention this 25th day
of August, recognizing our great re-
sponsibilitY as sovereign citizens, pro-
claim.
First, for the prohibition of the
manufacture, importation and sale of
intoxicating liquors as a beverage.
Second, prohibition of the liquor
traffic is right in principle, and all sys
TENS of taxing and licensing the same
are wrong in principle, vicious in theory
and failures in practice.
Third, to the end that we have an
honest and economical administration
of city government, we demand the
abolition of the liquor traffic, so that
the people and not the saloon shall
control the election of officers.
Fourth, believing that many reforms
are imperatively needed in our state
relating to equal taxation, ownership,
regulation taxation and control of
mOnopOlies, the abolition of the free
pass and frank system, of bribing
county officials, reduction in the cost of
state, county, city and town govern
ment, and that as the purchasable
saloon vote is the one great hindrance
to the election of honest men to deal
with these questions, We demand pro-
hibition.
Fifth, that as the liquor traffic is the
rObber of labor and the DESTROYER of
wealth, we can never enjoy the full
measure of individual and national
prosperity until prohibition is secured.
Sixth, we demand that all territory
hereafter acquired by, as we'll as that
lately annexed to the United States,
shall be under prohibition; that we put
upon our banner never to be taken
down the motto, "No more saloon
territory"

North Slider Will Make Trouble For

From present indications it seems
that the bicycle path running between
Racine and Kenosha will furnish an
interesting legal fight in the near future
A we'll known real estate man who is
interested in property just north of
town, stated yesterday that some dis
lance north of the Sanitarium the path
was out of line and in some places
extended fully fifteen feet into the
public road. He furthermore claims
that the town of Somers had no right
to grant any right of way which would
interfere with the public highway. A
short distance beyond this point the
man declares the path is built on pri-
vate land without the permission of the
owner. Now this real estate owner
declares that he will pillow up the path
