The Kenosha correspondent of the
Milwaukee Free Press, the Governors
Milwaukee organ, has been dreaming
again. He has visionsl of Kenosha
county going Democratic in case La
Toilette is not renominated. He says:
set is anticipated that strong fight
will be made against the county dele
cation going to the State convention
pledged to the support of Whitehead,
and should it do so it is no criterion of
the GAINESVILLE man receiving the sup
port of the voters at the polls should
he receive the nomin ation for Gov
ernor."
The correspondent does not say who
1T is that anticipates that 'strong'
fight will be made in the county
against Whitehead. Kenosha county
has only one oil inspector ana no
gar1e wardens. The oil inspector
might beIcalled strenuous, but he could
hardly be called strong, and the en-
thusiasm of what few supporters the
Governor has in the county cools per-
-ceptibly whenever they think of Sena-
&or Spooner. The intimation of the
Free Press that the nominee of the
convention, should he be other than
La Toilette, would not receive the sup
port of the voters of Kenosha county
at the polls is sheer nonsense. Against
their personal inclinations and better
Judgment the full strength of the party
in this county went to the polls and
1oya1ly supported La Toilette. After
such a severe test of party loyalty it is
saot anticipated" that the Republicans
of Kenosha county will bolt the White
head ticket or any other ticket nomin-
ated by Republican convention.

EVERY Republican in the county
should attend the caucuses next Tues
day, June "a. The caucuses are more
Important than the convention, so
don't fail to attend them. The issues
of the coming State convention will
be decided at these caucuses SO far as
Kenosha county is concerned. The
issue is clear and well defined and the
contest is between Senator Whitehead
and Senator Spooner representing
conservative Republication, and Gov
ernor La Toilette representing himself.
The attendance of every Republican is
a duty that he owes to the party. All
that is needed to place Kenosha county
so1idly in the Republican column is
for the old line Republicans to turn
out and vote at the caucuses and to see
that their votes are counted. There is
little doubt but that the opponents of
the Governor are in ajority in the
State and all that is needed to secure
a victory is united and energetic eff.
fort at the caucuses.

The irrigation bill has passed both
houses of Congress and will undoubt-
eddy be signed by the President, as it
conforms closely to his ideas on the
subject of relief for the arid regions of
the Western States. President Roose-
welt has always been deeply interested
in the irrigation question, and in his
annual message he urged upon Con-
gress the necessity of government aid
in the reclamation of the arid lands.
The bill creates reclamation fund
from the sale Of public lands in Ari-
IONA, Colorado, California, Idaho,
Kansas, Nebraska, Montana, New
Mexico, Nevada. North and South Da-
kota, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Wy
oming and Oklahoma. This fund,
less the amount paid to local land off,
ces and 5 per cent due the State for
educational purposes, is to be used for
building and maintaining irrigation
works in the states and territories
named.
The lands to be benefited by such
works are to be assessed for their cost
and sold in parcels not exceeding 100
acres at the prices so determined. The
money received from the sale of the
lands goes back into the fund which is
thus constantly rep1enished. The pay
ments may be made in ten annual in
stallments. Every safeguard that
could be devised to protect the lands
from land spectators, land grabbers
and water spectators has been in
cluded in the bill and irrigated or irri-
gable lands will be sold only to those
who will use them. The possession of
these lands by individual homestead
ers is practically assured.
The Importance of this piece of leg
islation can hardly be over estimated.
1t will make homes for millions of peo-
pie. 60,O0O,00O acres of the public do
main are capable of being reclaimed
and thrown open to sett1ers-an area
larger than the whole State of Mime
sofa. In addition to this vast tract,
which can be made suitable for farm
ing purposes, there are some 12O, 100000
acres which can be used for grazing if
water is brought near them. The bill
will enormously increase the wealth
and population of the states and terri
tories in which the lands lie and also
add to the wealth Of the whole country
by transforming land that is now
worthless asset of the government into
a great producing area.

sPALD1NGs 7; ATHLETICS 8.
Chicago Team Defeats the Kenosha Ball
Players After a Hard Contest.

Chicago Team Defeats the Kenosha Ball
Players After a Hard Contest.
The Chicago Spa1dings defeated the
Kenosha Athletics at Grand View
Park Sunday afternoon by score of
seven to three. The game was of the
heart breaking order. For seven in
nings the Kenosha boys held the
Spaldings down and for six innings
not a single one of the Spa1ding play
ers was able to cross the home plate
Then the usual balloon journey oc-
Cured and when the smoke cleared
away the Spalding players had made
runs enough to win the game twice
over.
The first seven innings, however,
were marked by perfect ball playing
on the part of both teams and the
Kenosha players, by hard hitting and
steady base running, had made three
rounds. To the enthusiastic Kenosha
"fans" the game looked like "1unch,"
but the last half of the eighth inning
started the trouble going. After two
men were out Erickson got base on
an error and hits by Ransom, Holec,
Lehr and a three Dagger by Litzinger
brought in six runs.
The Kenosha players tried hard to
win in the ninth but they were easily
retired and the game was added to the
list of the victories Of the Spalding
team.
I ''King'' Lehr, the Chicago pitcher,
who is one of the fastest players on
the diamond this season, made good
showing against the Kenosha players,
but Freitag, with the exception of one
inning, made just as good a record.
Freitag was wild and gave three men
bases on balls and this fact gave the
best of the pitchers battle to Lehr.
The score of the game follows:

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT, in a special
message sent to Congress Friday,
makes last plea for Cuba. He points
out that in endeavoring to make re-
ciprocal trade arrangements with Cuba
he is carrying out the policy of Nc
Kiuley and reiterates the declaration
made in his regular message that "we
are bound by every law of honor and
expediency to pass commercial meas
ares in the interest of her material
we'll being" He points out that the
course we have pursued with regard to
the other islands has in iured 40 Ameri-
can interest and that a small tariff con-
Cessiop to Cuba which may save the
island from financial ruin would Sc
cure for American producers the con-
troll of the growing Cuban market.
Many American interests would be
benefited without disturbing any
American industry. The President
makes powerful plea to Congress to
continue the work so we'll begun in
Cuba. He says:
Cuba is an independent republic,
but republic which has assumed GER
tain special obligations as regards her
international position in compliance
with our request. l ask for her certain
special economic concessions in return;
these economic concessions to benefit
us as we'll as her. There are few
brighter pages in American history
than the page which tells of our deal
ings with Cuba during the past four
years. On her behalf we waged war
of which the handspring was generous
indignation against oppression, and
we have kept faith absolutely. It is
earnestly to be hoped that we will
complete in the same spirit the record
so well begun, and show in our deal
ings with Cuba that steady continuity
of policy which it is essential for our
nation to establish in foreign affairs if
we desire to play well our part as a
world power"

MANY JUNE BRIDES.
Five Weddings Occur in Single Day in
Kenosha.-A Double Wedding

Five Weddings Occur in Single Day in
Kenosha.-A Double Wedding
Today was day of weddings in Ke-
nosha, and the wedding bells were
ringing from early morning until late
in the afternoon. Some marriag es
were held at the churches, while others
took place at private homes.
One of the most noteworthy we'd
dings of the day was the double wed
ding which occurred at St. James
church this morning at half past seven
O'Clock, the contracting parties being
Edward Murphy and Miss Anna Baro1a
Duffy, and Dominick Edward Carr and
Miss Anna Louise Rice. The brides
had been chums for many years, and
they decided to be married at the same
time.
The wedding was very pretty one,
the church being decorated in honor of
the event with palms and flowers. A
! large crowd of friends witnessed the
ceremony, Father Roche officiating at
both weddings.
There were no other attendants, Mr..
and Mrs. Carr standing as attendants
for Mr.. and Mrs. Murphy, and they in
turn performing the same service for
Mr.. and Mrs. Carr. The brides were
attired in pretty tailor made suits of
blue broadcloth, and carried shower
bouquets of brides roses.
