THE Republican nominee for Justice
of the Peace, Robert V. Baker, though
a comparative stranger to few, is the
life ,Jng acquaintance of most of the
citizens of KenOsha, He is native of
this city, and aside from the years
spent at college, has spent his life
here. He comes from one of the oldest
and best families in Kenosha, being the
son of attorney MyrOn Baker, ST., and
the brother of attorney Norman L.
Baker. Robert Y. is one of the rising
lawyers of the State. Besides a great
legal talent, which he comes by Datur-
ally, he has been favored with splen-
did education along the line of his pro-
fession. He graduated from the Chi
cago College of Law, Law Department
of Lake Forest University, in the class
of 1897. In the same year he was adj
mitted to practice before the Supreme
Court of Illinois and to all courts OF
record in both Illinois and Wisconsin
After completing his course Mr.. Baker
entered into the business with his
father and brother and became one o.

man from the Fifth ward. Harry is
one of the strongest supporters of the
idea of trade unionism, and is one of
the leading members of the Polishers'
union. He is we'll educated and we'll
posted on all city business, and prom
ises to be one of the strongest men on
the city ticket.
Frank Holderness, the nominee of
the Sixth ward Republicans for the
short term, is one of the old timers, as
he has represented his district in the
City Council several times. He is one
of the best known men in the ranks of
the party and has always been leader
in political affairs. While a member
of the City Council he proved himself
an earnest supporter of the voters and
property holders of the ward which he
represented, and his record is one that
he may we'll be proud of His col
league, E. G.. Becker, is the we'll known
Market street carriage maker. Mr..
Becker is a representative citizen and
will receive the unanimous support of
the German residents of the ward.
Matt Buchanan, the nominee tor al
derman in the Seventh ward, is one of
the loyal German American citizens Of
the North side, and needs no introduce
ton to his constituents. He is we'll
known in all parts of the city and is
very popular among the laboring men,
Of whose causa he was ever an earnest
champion.
The same can be said of William
Schwartz and Ernst Stein, the candi-
dates in the Eighth ward. Both Of the
gentlemen are employed in the tan
merry and can be counted to make a
strong run for the office.
The Republican ward tickets are
such as the people should be proud to
support, and if the voters will work
there is no reason that every one OF
them should not be elected. The re-
districtng of the city has changed the
political completion of every ward
and no ore can say whether they are
Republican until after the votes are
counted on next Tuesday. If you are
in favor of good, honest city govern
ment, give the Republican candidates
your undivided support both before and
on election day.

AGUINALDo is losing hold both on
territory and people. From Manila he
has been driven to the very northern
extremities of Luzon. He and his
FiliUinos are rapidly loOsing ground
before the irresistible advance of the
American troops. This looks bad for
Aguinaldo, but the very preceptible
loosening of his hold upon the insur,,
gents is vastly more significant. When
driven into the jungle and painless
wilderness, Aguinaldo might hold out
almost indefinitely against greatly
superior forces. In such conditions
numbers and discipline count for little,
especially when unfamiliar with the
lay of the land. But when little
Aguinaldo" has lost his hold upon the
poor, ignorant beings who make up his
hosts, his cause is lost. This is pre-
dicament that the would be King of the
Philippines is in imminent danger of.
His methods have been those of coercion
He has terrified his followers into
obedience to his word by tales of
cruelties to be suffered at the hands Of
Americans should they ever dominate
the islands. The despOtism from which
they have just been released is favor
able to their leaders shameful policy.
But little by little the Filipinos are
learning from their own experiences
that Americans are their friends.
Time was when inspired by the mis-
representations of Aguinaldo they
would die rather than be taken by the
American troops. But since they have
been fairly treated by the Americans,
even when captured fighting, they
seem to be more ready to allow them
selves to be taken. Such change
reveals the declining power of Agui-
naldo. Nothing founded upon lie
can endure" The Filipinos are discover
ing the treachery of their alleged say
Jour. This will eventually lead to a
disbandment.

service AGJer May ISL.
The water Commissioners of the city
will issue a general order in few days
which will practically have the effect
of disseminating the use Of the artesian
water in Kenosha. After May lst the
commissioners will no longer agree to
guarantee the supply of the artesian
water and the system will be abandon
ed as fast as the city water mains can be
laid. The artesian water is used by a
large majority of the residents of the
city for drinking and cooking purposes
and the general order will undoubtedly
cause a great deal of dissatisfaction.
This action of the board has been
made necessity for the reason that
the system of artesian pipes is COM
pletely worn out and the steady de-
crease in the pressure from the wells
makes it impracticable for the COM
missioners to order a new system Of
pipes put in.
The artesian water was supplied
by eight wells and several of these
wells have already become dry Inc
system was purchased by the city a
few years ago for $4,000. When 1t
becomes necessary for the people to
use the lake water exclusively for
drinking and cooking purposes it will
demand that the city make some move
to obtain a proper system of filtration
in order to secure for the people any
kind of pure water.
The abandonment of the artesian
system and the replacing of the mains
with pipes to carry city water will pro-
badly be one of the largest expenses of
the city during the next two years.
Many people have already made ar
rangements to have the artesian water
supplied by private enterprise.

The plans formulated by Governor
Pingree for new national political
party are evideutly progressing. A
call has been issued by the secretary
of the national committee for meeting
to be held in Buffalo June % to July

bers of said committee are Governor

Illinois, Coin" Harvey and Eugene
Debs. Under the guidance of such
thoroughly American, patriotic and

THE ticket which the Republican
party has put into the field is, for the
most part, so we'll known to the people |
that the names thereon speak for
themselves more effectually that we
could possibly speak for them. They
have been known in Kenosha for years
and the individual record of each and
every one of them as citizens of this
city is the most potent proof of their
fitness to fill the respective Offices to
which they have been nominated.
Of the head of the" ticket this is
particularly true. DR.. William Mattox
Farr is known to nearly Every citizen
of Kenosha city and county. He
REQUIRES no introduction and no recon-
mendatiOns further than are given in
the splendid record of his long life in
this community. For years DR.. FAIR
served mankind in his private capacity
of physician. During these years of
quiet, faithful attention to the immedl-
ate duties of his profession he grace
fully ingratiated himself into the
esteem and affection of his fellow men.
Always good citizen, infexible where
those duties are at stake, he
| is not much of a politician in the
accustomed acceptance of the term.
Therefore the proposition from the
Republican party in '94 to make him
mayor ofthe city was, so far as he was
concerned, both unexpected and I'M
sought for. 1t was with considerable
hesitation and serious appreciation
of the responsibilities thereby involved
that Dr. Farr finally concluded to
accept the nomination. His sweeping
victory in three successive elections
proved not only his great popularity,
but the general satisfaction which
his administration had given. 1t
was marked with wisdom and
progressiveness. During the three
years that DR.. Farr held the highest
authority the city prospered and hon
esty, economy and enterprise charac
terized it's government. Before the
expiration of his third term, however,
the consciousness of failing health
| warned the Doctor that rest was
needed. AS consequence he has
since been living in retirement recuper-
ating his strength. As his usual vigOr
| is just about restored, he has again,
after some persuasion, yielded himself
to the wishes of his party and become
a candidate for Mayor. Further words
are unnecessary.
DR.. W. M. Farr is known to all the
country round" as a scholar, cour-
teous gentleman and representative
citizen not only of the city, but of the
state and nation He is a man of in
tegrity, ability and a sense of duty
which will keep him faithfully at his
post. Moreover, he is able, as he has
already proved, to govern our city with
dignity and wisdom. His return to
political activity as candidate for the
position he so long and so honorably
filled will be hailed with pleasure by
the citizens of KenOsha.
DITCH by ditch and town by town,
the FilIpinos are being driven to the
wall. With Pela, Malabon and
Malinta in the hands of the Americans
the prospects are that Aguinaldo and
his insurgents will soon be compelled
to make a final and futile stand, OF
give themselves up outright to the
United States authorities. A retro
spect of the last few weeks in the
Philippines with their scenes of needless
slaughter, arouses in ones mind an
