Republicans Take Up the Fight for
Hegeman and the Entire Ticket
in Every Ward Of the City
TICKET HAS GREAT STRENGTH
Candidates Coming Before the People
With Clean Hands and No Fac
tiona1 Fights sHave No
Fears for Result

/ The Repu bllcanS have thrown out
their battle lines in all parts Of the
city and last night the active work of
| the campaign was started. There
will be no let up until the last vote
has been castsa week from next Tues
day.
For the first time in several years
the Republicans are going into the
campaign Gas a united party deter
mined to elect the entire city ticket.
The ticket is the best ever named
by theSparty for the consideration of
the voters of the cityssand there is rot
man for whom any member sof the
party has cause to blush. Every one
of them is good solid substantial tax
payer, with sthe best interests Of the
city at heart at all times.
Alderman John Hegeman, who has
been nominated for the Office of
Mayor, is a man that every voter in
the city should be proud TO support.
Mr.. Hegeman has spent nearly his en-
tire life in Kenosha, and this life has
been an open book to the people of
the city. He comes before the people
with a record absolutely clean. He
| comes as the representative Of sound
business principles, unsul1ied honesty
and integrity and desire to see the
greatest progress in the city.
Mr.. Hegeman stands on his record
as member of the common council,
and this record shows that if he is
elected the onward march of Kenosha
as city will not be arrested, but it
will be urged as rapidly as conserva-
tive measures will permit. Alderman
Hegeman is man of all the people,
fighting the battles of the people.
He has stood for the interests of the
city against the corporations ever
since he entered the common council.
His record is one of the bright spots
IN connection with the recent history
of the council. Alderman Hegeman
has never obstEucted the progress of
the city, but has demanded that the
man who pays the taxes gets every
possible cents worth.
He has refused to be cajoled into
voting to pay for sewer work, when
the work was improperly done and
standing boldly for the rights Of the
united council. The council later
found that his stand was correct and
| by a unanimous vote rescinded its
action.
Alderman Hegeman has been the
arch enemy Of petty grafters who
| Gil, and his work has made these men
fear his election as mayor. There
can be no doubt as to the future policy
| of Mr.. Hegeman when elected mayor.
It will be an administration of strict
honesty, of progress and of the
defense of the rights of the people.
On the ticket with Alderman Hege-
man are men we'll known to the peo-
pie of the city. MatthiasC. Schulien,
the candidate for clerk, is one of the
best known men of the west side and
while he has never held public Office
he is we'll qualified for the Office of
clerk
Charles Dumke, the Republican
candidate for treasurer, is a young
man of unquestioned ability and his
personal honesty has never been called
into question. He is popular in the
city and will make a splendid man in
the Office of city treasurer.
| The two candidates for assessor are
M. r. Barber and Charles G. The1een
Mr.. Barber has lived his entire life
in Kenosha and is well known every
where. Added to this he has been in
the real estate business for some
time and is we'll acquainted with the
values of property in the city. Charles
G. Theleen, his running mate for
assessor, is contractor and builder
and like Mr.. Barber is we'll acquainted
with the values of property in Keno
| sha.
| Truman 7. Parker, the candidate
for the Office of justice of the peace,
is young man of push and ability.
| Notwithstanding the fact that he was
recently so seriously injured that the
amputation Of greater part of his
hand was demanded he has not al
lowed this injury to interfere with his
career, but he has gone to work and
has built up a large business as an
insurance agent. Mr.. Parker is a
law student at the present time and
well fitted for the Office Of justice.
