PETITIONS BEING CT CULATED
e. N. Marlette Named as the cardi
date of the Party for Member of
Assembly, and b. M. schiIz
of Wheat1and, for Sheriff

AFTER holding Two ADVISORY. COnVen-
tons the leaders of the Democracy of
Kenosha county have finally arranged
a slate of candidates for county Off
ces. The slate was completed at a
meeting of the leaders held at the
Office of Justice George B. McCarron
Wednesday night, and while it is pos
sible that some of the party members
will object to the dictation of the
leaders, it is thought that the slate
makers will have sufficient strength
to carry the slate through the pri-
mary. The candidates for the differ
ent offices are as follows:
Member of the Assembly Elmer Il.
Marlette, of Kenosha.
Sheriff B. M. Schilz, of Wheat1and.
County Clerk Joseph Banaszynski,
of Kenosha.
County Treasurer-Jacob Saftig, Of
Kenosha.
Register Of Deeds Emmett Shields,
of Bristol.
Clerk of the Circuit Court William
We1ton, of Brighton.
Coroner. HI. Cleary, Of Kenosha.
There are as yet two vacancies on
the ticket. One is for the candidate
for state senator, and the Democrats
Of this county are waiting for the
Democrats of Racine county to pro-
pose candidate.
The sentiment at the meeting was
decidedly favorable to Michael Hig-
gins of Racine, but it is understood
that he is being held out as possible
candidate for congress in the district.
The Kenosha county men suggested
for the place on the ticket are George
Kroncke, John G. Slater and Henry
Hastings, all of Kenosha; and Henry
Runkel of Wheat1and.
Kroncke has notified the party
leaders that he would not be candi-
date if nominated, and Runkel is
favored above the other men men
toned. It is not known whether or
not Runkel would accept the nomina-
ton. He has been prominent in DEM
ocratic politics in the county, and has
held the office of chairman of the
county board, and several town Off
ces.
The slate makers placed no candi-
date for office of surveyor, but it IS
stated that this nomination will be
given to the veteran assessor, William
McKesson of Randall, if he will ac-
cept it.
There was no chairman Of the meet
ing Wednesday evening, and it was
entirely of an informal nature. Both
the city and county was represented
by small delegations and the ticket as
outlined seemed to meet with, favor
with those present.
One Of the leaders at the meeting
last evening when seen today stated,
"There is still an open field for any
Democrat to enter the race for nomi-
nation and the action of the meeting
last night is not in any way binding
on the party. However, petitions will
be circulated today for the candidates
named last night and they will be be
fore the people at the primaries. If
others care to enter the field they will
be welcome md let he best man win.
The leaders of thu party, however,
desired to guard against weak ticket
being placed in the field at the last
moment and to this end these selec-
tons have been made. believe that
the ticket as named will be a strong
one and I think that the leaders Of
the party will have sufficient influence
to dictate its nomination at the polls
when the primary election is held"
Most of the men named are we'll
known to the voters of the county.
Among the new corners are Joseph
Banaszynski, the candidate for the
nomination as county clerk. He is a
drug clerk employed at the Model
Pharmacy. He was formerly an en-
ploye in the Office of the county clerk
of Milwaukee county.
The petitions for these men were
started.both in the city and county to-
day and it is expected that they will
be filed within the next two or three
days. In the meantime some of the
insurgents are talking of a rival
ticket so that the Democrats may have
real fight at the primaries.
