Republican Candidate for Senator
Led all Other Candidates in
Amount Expended
NOT AGENT FROM DEMOCRATS
Socialists and Democrats Failed to Put
up Money to Show Their Good Will
for Voters, and Save it for
the Real Fight

Isaac t. Bishop, of Somers, the can
didate Of the Republicans for State
Senator, is real spender, and this
fact is shown by the expense account
which he has filed with athe county
officials to show the amount he spent
during the primary campaign.
Bishop IN this regarddleads all other
to the effect that he expended $262. 80.
Harry Faultless, who wassa defeated
candidate for sheriff, was second with
an expense account of $172, while
Robert Verne Baker, who ransfor the
nomination of district attorney, was
third with a total expense sof $50. so.
Charles Pfennig, who succeeded in
getting the nomination for sheriff,
was fourth with $685. 5, and Otis L
Trenary who alsosran forrState Sena-
tor, says that he spent $110.38. Other
spenders we're James Ferris who lost
the nomination for register .of deeds
after expending2E$58. p c. Torrey
defeated him with an expense of
$3.50. John C1ausen enjoyed the
luxury of being candidate for sher-
iff on the small sum Of SITS, while
John G. Dowse was an exceedingly
frugal candidate for that. office and
managed to get throughawith leaving
only SO. Charles e. Likes,@ran for
county clerk and got :off with $14,
while w. O. Crosby,3 who defeated
him found ii necessary5to give up but
SIS. Frank Waldo, who hads no oppo-
sition for office, putsup .$5 just to help
things along. Frank Marxsfgot the
nomination for county treasurer for
So, and Charles Turnock spent So to
lose it. Allie Sharpe, who was third
man in the contest, got away with
expenses of $3.50. George Taylor,
who came into the field late as a can
didate for district attorney, spent only
So. Alvin HI. Blood spent only 20
cents to secure the nomination for
surveyor, and DR.. F. E. Andre caps
the climax by getting the nomination
for coroner without any personal ex-
pense of any nature.
Every man who sought a nonaina-
ton, be he Democrat, Republican,
Social Democrat or Prohibitionist,
has filed d statement of shis expense,
and it will not be necessary for tie
district attorney to bring any prose-
cutions. The reports made by Dem
ocrats, Social Democrats and Prohi-
bitionists show that none of these
candidates expended a cent. These
men had no opposition, and it is evil
dent that most of them paid little or
no attention to getting out the vote
at the primary.
The accounts show that the Re-
publican candidates for nomination
appreciated the value of printers
ink and much of the money expended
was paid for posters to inform the
public of their candidacy. 1t is also
shown that in towns outside Of Keno
sha the candidates paid quite large
sum for newspaper support which
some of the candidates received from
some of the papers in Racine and Ke
nosha county. Onlyone man schedules
any large amount spent for refresh
ments and that is Candidate Fauitless.
He averred that his refreshment
bill during the campaign was SIS.
Now that the farce has been carried
through, the expense accounts will
be held by the register of deeds for
year and then burned up. It is pos
sible that these accounts will be of
some interest as they show the total
admitted cost of the primary to the
candidates. Roughly estimated, the
candidates for office in this county
spent $500 and the cost to the county
was about double this amount.
