eyes" Forces Are waging a Quiet Cam
paign and the Increase Is Very
Largely Due to Their
Efforts. E

The last meeting Of the Board pf
Civil Authority for the addition and
changing Of names on the voting lists
was held last evening, when 30 additions
and changes were made. The additions
and changes in each ward for all the
sittings Of the board were: Ward 4,
G1. Ward 2, 81; Ward ., 100; Ward 4,
6s; Ward s, 81; Ward 8, 66. This years
check list viii contain 1860 names, as
against 1880 last year, or an increase
OF 70 names. Although there are active
contests on in Wards 4 and 6 over
aldermen, Ward 3 shows the greatest
number Of changes and additions. This
is explained by the activity Of some who
hope to be license holders If the city
votes yes. The activity OF these men
the past few days in getting names on
the check list would indicate that Barre
will vote license next Tuesday.
The naturalizations this year have
been greater than in any previous year,
II second papers having been issued
by Judge Fay.

DON'T GET MAD.n
Candidate Mackenzie Advises George w.
Bassett.


Editor Times: We notice in your
issue Of March 1st that Mr.. Bassett
says: 1T seems that ex-Mayor Mac
kenzie greatly underestimates the duties
of mayor in the affairs OF the city. To
him, in the distance, the mayors chair
is small affair and for aught we know
he thinks very small man can more
than fill IT" And then Bro. Bassett
goes on to say ''if the voters will con
suit section Of the city charter they
will find that the mayor Is the chief
executive officer Of the city"
Now, Bro. Bassett is entirely mistak-
en-; we do not underestimate The duties
Of the mayor in the affairs of the city,
but we do know what the mayor can
do and what he cannot do. What we
did say in the article that Bro. Bassett
evidently feels sore about was this;
"That the mayor has no more power to
build streets than any other member Of
the city council and really has a good
deal less than the street commissioners;
and further that the mayor has no more
right or authority to issue orders to
the street department than the janitor
has" We beg to reiterate those state
ments and we challenge Bro. Bassett
to prove them otherwise than true and
just as the statutes, city charter and
ordinances set forth You see, Bro.
Bassett quotes section and nnfoTtu-
natclv for Bro. Bassetts argument Sec
tion 6 Ii not the whole charter, and
certainly not any part Of the ordinances.
With regard to Bro. BassGtt's com
ments on ito him, in the distance, the
mayors chair is small affair ard for
aught we know he thinks a very small
man can more than all it, Bro. Bassett
is again mistaken; as matter of fact,
we had not thought OF it at all along
those lines, as to whether it takes a
big man to I'll IL or whether a small
man can more than fiji ill., We leave
it to Bro. Bassett to decide; also, wheth-
er 1T is a big or a small man, mentally,
physically and financially, or a big man,
with this combination or small man
with the same, or whether big or
a small man could or could not fill it
with or without this combination. Bro.
Bassett was once an alderman and
might have been serving yet, or perhaps
might have been mayor. Bit?
Now, Mr.. Bassett, don't get mad, but
Just sit down and write reply to this
and we are sure your readers will be
pleased to hear from You again. You
have time enough before election, but we
would prefer it on Saturday, as we could
perhaps reply Monday.

which caused a riot call, the assault OF
a soldier and the arrest of his assailant

As precautionary measure Colonel
Ammel has posted two machine guns
and a company of troops at the court

automobiles to carry troops from one
section of the city TO another when need
ed, but not enough could be had, and
wagons have been provided for that pur
pose.

troops over the city has had depressing
effect on the rioters. A house at High

negroes, was fred by rioters, but the
flames were quelled before they had
made great headway. Arthur Ancil, q

all other parts of the county will

In this manner the company will
also extend the service to Kenosha

IN the northern part of Illinois not

out in the western part of the county
are anxious to secure better.telephone

that new lines will be built IN this
part of the county as soon as the
weather permits. The company has

such extensions. 1t is claimed that

bring the rural lines up to the same
