Republicans Of the County Select a
Full BaensCh Delegation at the
County Convention.
QUARLES STILL "FAvORITE SON."
Delegates are Instructed to do all In Their
Power to Secure the Reelection of
Kenoshan to the o. S. Senate.

Governor LaFo11ette and his third
term administration followers did not
control the convention in Kenosha
county today, and a harmonious gath
ering elected twelve delegates to the
State Convention. Every one of them
is pledged against the governor and
goes to Madison with an endorsement
for Emil Baensch of Manotowoc.
There was such a small number of
the So called Half Breeds in the con-
vention, that there was no chance
for a bolt and they took their medicine
like little men. The only fight was
on the selection of the chairman of
the convention, and when former
Senator John F. Reynolds was elected
over Walker Curtis, of Salem, by a
vote of more than two to one, the
hopes of the LaFo11ette followers
were blasted.
The resolutions adopted endorsed
Roosevelt, Quar1es and Judge
Baensch, and made strong plea for
party harmony and pure Repub1i-
canism.
The convention was called to order
by County Chairman A. E. Buck
master, and John F. Reynolds of the
town of Randall was elected chairman
of the convention. AS he took the
chair he was greeted with cheers both
from the delegates and from the audi
tors at the convention. In response
to the hearty welcome accorded to
him, Mr.. Reynolds spoke as follows:
HGent1emen,-I thank you for this
honor you have conferred upon me.
1t is no small honor to preside at a
Republican convention, and I assure
you that to have the honor Of pre-
siding over convention composed of
men representing what is, and has
been, the Republican party of this
county is indeed an honor.
81 see before delegates to this
convention men who know what true
Repub1icanism is, and men who are
here to represent true Republicanism,
not sham reform. I note with pride
the material of which this convention
is comp osed.
eve are here assembled to choose
delegates to represent Kenosha coun-
ty at the, state convention, to be held
at Madison on the 18th inst, to nom
mate candidates for Governor and
other state officers.
Gin the selection of such delegates,
trust that you may select such as
will endeavor to secure the nomination
of true Republican, one who will
have the interest of the state at large
at heart, and one who will so1idify the
Grand Old Republican Party.
S'Let us choose those who will help
to select one who will, as standard
bearer of the Republican party of
Wisconsin, with Roosevelt as the Ma
tiona1 standard bearer, lead the party
to grand old Republican victory in
November.
Gentlemen, thank you for your
attention"
