KenOsha BOwlers Begin to Organize a
Team to Meet the All Stars.
Kenosha bow1ers are to take an i'm
portant place in the state bowling
meet this year and John M. Keh1or,
who was the captain of the Kenosha

that the men can get into training
and be in championship form when

ers who played on the All Star team
last year are still in Kenosha and sew
era1 new players have come to the
front who will make a decided addi-
ton to the squad. Mr.. Keh1or is plan
ming to arrange a number of games
with Racine and Waukegan bow1ers
in order to have the team in. first class
condition as early in the season as
possible.
In the meantime the games in the
city bowling league are attra citing a

CURTIS WON'T TALK
Republican Candidate for the
Legislature Refuses to State
His Position on Resolutions.
WILL TAKE THE STUMP LATER

Walker M. Curtis, of Trevor, the
nominee of the Republican party for
the office of member of the assembly,
paid his first visit to Kenosha today
since he was named for the distin-
guished Office. Mr.. Curtis is decided
~ silent on the issues involved in the
state campaign and when asked to
make a statement in regard to the
platform adopted by the county con-
vention he absolutely declined to say
anything. He stated, however, that
he was anxious1y awaiting the receipt
of the letter from the Kenosha Repub-
1ican club and that when this came he
would break the silence and give out
his views on the subject. Mr.. Curtis,
from his conversation, failed to show
the unwavering loyalty that had been
accorded to him.
The candidate stated positively
that he had not been advised of any
effort on the part of political leaders
in the county to withdraw the reso1u-
tons and he stated that if Mr.. Baker
had made such a proposition to Sena-
tor Quar1es he had done it without his
knowledge.
Mr. Curtis stated that he would per-
sona11y carry his platform to the peo-
pie and he is arranging to take the
stump within few days and he will
attempt to speak in every school dis
trict in the county. AS a speaker, Mr..
Curtis friends declare that he will
make a great hit.
In lieu of discussing the platform,
Mr.. Curtis had few things to say in
regard to his loyalty to the Repub1i-
can party and declared that he had
voted the party ticket at every cleo
ton save one and on that occasion he
was one of the four men in the town
of Trevor who voted the Prohibition
ticket. It is not likely that the peo-
pie Of the county will hold this against
Mr.. Curtis, as it occurred many years
ago and he has long since seen the
error of his way.

Chicago Judges Refuse Second
Papers to Henry Agate,
Formerly of kenosha.
ILLINOIS LAW MORE BINDING.
Agate Returns to Kenosha in Order to
be Made Citizen of Country of His
Adoption-Reforn1s Needed.

Henry Agate, former resident of
Kenosha but now residing in Chicago,
came to Kenosha this morning for the
purpose of securing the issue of his
second papers by the Judge of the
circuit court. Agate took out his
first papers in Kenosha five years ago
and with the election coming on he is
anxious to be registered as a voter in
the state of Illinois. Agate is very
much in earnest over the matter and
when he found that Judge Be1den was
not IN kenosha he made an effort to
find him in Racine and has announced
his intention to camp on the trail of
the Judge until such a time as the
papers are issued. Agate has resided
in Chicago for some time but the
courts of Illinois are quite strict on
the question of admitting men to
citizenship and in the entire city Of
Chicago and county of Cook Mr..
Agate could not find any one who
could go before the court and state
that they had known him for FIVE
years. Two men were taken to Chi
cago from Kenosha but the court in
sisted that if Agate was to secure his
second papers in that court he must
have men from Chicago to attest his
residence in the country.
There is no doubt but that Agate
will be admitted to citizenship by
Judge Be1den as he is we'll known to
many people in Kenosha and is known
to be good citizen.
The case in which Agate is inter-
ested has shown clearly the difference
between the Illinois and Wisconsin
laws. In Illinois the foreigner is not
allowed to vote until he shall have be-
come full citizen. The law requires
residence in the country of at least
five years, and by this law the state is
forever safeguarded. against the
wholesale voting of foreigners at
the state and National elections, and
eliminates entirely the floating vote
which has cut such large figure in
elections in Wisconsin during the
past ten years.
With such law in Wisconsin the
large foreign vote in Kenosha county
would be reduced to a minimum, and
the regular election would become an
expression of the will of the people
who should be allowed to decide as to
the future political destinies of the
state and nation.

Former Governor of The State is
Named to Succeed S. A. Cook
on Republican Ticket.
He STATES POSITION CLEARLY
Stands Pledged to Carry Out The Plat.
form Adopted by The State Con-
vention at Madison.

The Hon. Edward Scofe1d of
Oconto, twice governor of the state,
was named to succeed S. A. Cook of
Neenah, as the candidate for COVER
nor on the ticket recognized by the Ma
tiona1 Republican convention yester-
day afternoon. In keeping with the
promises made some time ago Mr..
Cook withdrew from the ticket and
former Governor Scofe1d was the
unanimous choice of the committee
for the place on the ticket.
Governor Scofe1d accepted the
honor conferred upon him, and in &C
cepting the place on the ticket said:
81 haven't much to say. The stu
alton explains itself. Mr.. Cook has
withdrawn from the head of the Re-
publican ticket, and as soon as the
proper forma1ities have been observed
I shall take his place.
81 am not an Office seeker, but I am
proud of the honor conferred upon
me, and shall make an active and
energetic canvass until the day of
election. | have faith IN the judge
ment and in the desire for fair play
of the Republicans of Wisconsin, and
am certain that they will rebuke the
high handed methods by which Mr..
La Toilette attempted to steal the
party convention. represent in this
contest the Republican party Of the
state, and my nomination comes
through the regular party channels.
''The only tribunal that has passed
upon the merits of the controversy
now in progress in the party in Wis
consin is the National Republican
convention, which declared after a
most careful investigation of the sub
ject that the opera house convention
was the regular one. I am honored
by being asked to carry the banner Of
that convention.
''The regular Republicans, whose
candidate | am, are unanimous and
enthusiastic in their support of the
National Republican ticket, and will
see to it that President Roosevelt re-
ceives in this state the hearty support
to which his splendid record entities
/ him.
81 can briefly state my position.
am heartily in sympathy with the
platform adopted by the state conven-
ton of the party held in the opera
house at Madison in May last"
The action of the committee in nam
ing former Governor Scofield to sue
ceedsMr. Cook will have the hearty
support of the Cook followers in Ke-
nosha, and many of the leaders OF
this wing of the party last night ex-
pressed their satisfaction at the
change made in the candidate for the
head of the ticket.
Former Governor Scofe1d was al.
ways favorite in this section of the
state, and he will undoubtedly have a
strong following in his race for gov
ernor. The balance of the ticket re-
mains unchanged.
