Bristol Man Gets Out Petitions
for Nomination for Sheriff on
Republican Ticket
DEMOCRATS SHY AIT PRIMARY
Only One Democratic Candidate Has
Secured Petitions and Candidates
may be Named at Demo-
cratic County Picnic

4
A little interest was added to the
primary campaign in Kenosha county
Thursday when John Claussen, the
lswell known Bristol farmer took out
| petitions as candidate for the Re-
publican nomination. for Sheriff. He
is now circulating the petitions and
promises to give John Dowse and
Henry Faultless a hot run for the
nomination. Claussen seems to figure
himself as the logical candidate for
the nomination. He was counted as
the leading candidate before the con-
vention Of 1904 but he was beaten out
| by the present sheriff who came in as
| a dark horse. The entrance of Claus
sen in the field com licates the situa-
ton considerably as it is thought that
| It will split up the vote in the rural
districts.
! The democrats of Kenosha county
are fighting decidedly shy of the pri-
mary election and while there is less
than month for the fling of petitions
B. M. Schi1z, of New Munster, the
Democratic candidate FOR sheriff, is
the only preventative of the party
to take out petitions. No other candi-
dates have ever been mentioned. 1t
| is annoHaced today that arrange
ments are being made to have great
gathering of the Democracy of the
county at Central park on the 18th Of
| the month and at that time it is
| thought that slate will be arranged
and soon afterward the candidates
will get out with petitions. The con-
vention idea seems to appeal strongly
to the Democracy of the county and
there seems to be no desire to inaugu-
rate fight for the nominations for
the different Offices.
| From the present outlook the
| primary will be mainly fight over
the nomination of Republican candi-
dates for sheriff and county treasurer.
It will be a three cornered fight for
both offices. Frank Marx, Charles
Turnock and Allie Sharpe have Sc
cured petitions for the nomination for
county treasurer, and all Of the men
are hard at work securing signers and
boosting the pre-prinary campaign.
Not a single rival has appeared for
| the present holders of the Offices OF
register of deeds, county clerk or
clerk of the circuit court, and the
/ politicians Of the county are propos-
ing no candidates for these Offices.
AS the time for filing petitions is de-
cidedly short now, the opposition to
these candidates if it develops at all
will have little time in which to make
the campaign of the county.
No petitions have been taken out by
candidates for coroner and there are
as yet no candidates for the non1ina-
ton for surveyor.
/ w. M. Curtiss is the sole candidate
for the nomination for the Office Of
member of the assembly, and Otis L.
Trenary and |. T. Bishop still hold
the center of the stage in the race fol
the nominatian as candidate for state
-senator.

THE proposition to limit the num-
Der of saloon licenses to be issued by
the city should not be considered by
the aldermen unless the amount of
the license fee is raised to at least
81, 900. The added value of license
system would more than make up to
the saloon men for the increase in
the fee. The matter Of raising the
license would have to be submitted ito
the vote of the people and if the
saloon men really desire the limited
system III Kenosha they can prove
their sincerity by voting and working
for the high license with the under
standing that if the proposition
carries the number Of licenses to be
issued will be limited by the council.

WHAT WE ALL OWN
Shall We Take Care of Our Property?
Do We Want Clean Streets?

snail we rake care or Our PROPERTY
Do We Want Clean Streets?
There is an old English song which
represents a beggar walking along the
road, rejoicing in the fact that on the
highway he IS free and independent.
''Fair aud free, night and day,
Fair and free is the King highway"
he sings, as he journeys. Yet the
very name of the road suggests that
the beggar has little part in it. He
may rejoice that it is the Kings, but
would he not rejoice more if he felt
that it was. in some measure, his own?
Freer by far, and fairer if we will
take care of that which is our own,
are the roadways of this land of ours.
The streets of our town belong to us
all. The barefooted boy who trudges
through them has share in them,
and may learn to have regard for
their beauty and cleanliness. Tie
merchant who occupies a store that
fronts the street, has an interest not
alone in the building which &c occu-
pies, but also in the pavement in
front of it. The workman who rides
his wheel home from his days work
in the factory, is making use of prop
erty of which he is part owner. It
should be his pride to help take care
of it.
Some part of the cleanliness of the
streets must depend on the fidelity of
those to whom the task of making
them clean is entrusted. Another
part, aud that the most essential, de-
ponds on the care we all take to keep
them clean. If we refuse to throw
bits of paper, and banana skins, and
peanut shells, on our own property,
the street, that which we all hold in
common, we shall have taken long
step toward the end we all have in
view, of keeping our city clean and
beautiful. Shall we not take good
care of that which we own, and for
which we are responsible?

Government TO krvertise for Pro-
posaIs for Government Build
ing Site in Next Ten Days
MAY START BUILDING IN 1907
Designs for Kenosha's Postoffice Build
ing to be Made by the Govern
ment Architects as Soon as
The Site is Chosen.

Announcement was made on Thurs
day by the supervising architect of
the United States treasury that pro-
posals for bids, for sites, for govern
ment buildings at Kenosha and Beloit
in the First Wisconsin District were
now being prepared and that the pro-
posals would be sent to the different
cities within the next ten days. The
proposals have not been made public,
but it is understood that in keeping
with the plans of the government in
other cities they will demand a
centrally located tract Of ground not
less than hundred feet square and
it is possible that the size may be
considerably larger. The proposition
for bids will provide for the opening
of the bids before the close of the
summer and should a site be secured it
is possible that the work on the build
ing would be started in the early
spring.
The plans for the building have not
as yet been made, but they will be
made by the government architects
| just as soon as the site is selected. It
is not probable that the people of the
city will have any voice in selecting
the design for the building, but it will
be designed with an especial view of
the needs of the Kenosha postofic &c.
For the present the building will be
used exclusively as home for the
49, l.
eminent officials in the city who have
use fora public office.
1t is not known what amount of the
appropriation Of SIS, coo will be set
aside for the purchase of the site, but
the agents of the government will
seek to get the site at the lowest pos,
sib1e price. The demand for property
is SO great in the city that it is pos
sib1e that the government will have
some trouble IN getting a proper site.
A few years ago the bill introduced
i provided that the sum Of $4,000 be
appropriated for site, but it is not
thought that site suitable for the
building can be secured for that
amount at this time and it is pos
sib1e that double the amount will be
needed for site. The last session
! of congress appropriated $4,000 for a
site at Beloit and it is expected that
a building similar to the one provided
( for Kenosha will be erected in Be1oit.
The people Of the city can aid
materially in getting the building
started by sending prompt proposals
to the government agents of property
which is regarded as suitable for the
site.
/ The building will undoubtedly be OF
stone and brick and as near freproof
as it is possible to make it.

THE assessments made this year are
going to be carefully scrutinized by
the taxpayers, and the assessors are
going to be called sharply to account
for any discrepancies in their lists.
It is expected that some assessments
that were severely criticised last year
will be corrected this time, and while
it is admitted there should be big
jump in the total valuation, the tax
payers do not propose to have the
small property owners stand for all OF

JUICY PLUM
Many Men Are Out After the
Appointment as United
States Marshal
TOM REID NOW HOLDS OFFICE

The announcement that Senator La
Toilette will have the appointment of
United States marshal for the East
ern district of Wisconsin is causing a
good deal of excitement in the ranks
of the faithful in the state and al
ready there are a number Of candi-
dates being mentioned for the posi-
ton now held by tom" Reid.
There is a general feeling that Sen
ator LaFo11ette will hold the selection
off until after September and play his
old game of using the appointment as
an argument to hold candidates for
the place il line as supporters of
Speaker Lenroot in the gubernatoria1
race.
That Mr.. Reed will not be appointed
can, however, be announced as a GER
tainty. Among the men who are al
ready receptive candidates for the ap-
pointment are Mayor H. S. We'll, of
Ripon, and John STRANGE of Oshkosh.
Marinette is also to have candidate
backed by the powerful influence Of
Mr.. Stephenson, although his name
has not yet been announced.
In the meantime out at Madison
there seems co be a general impress
sion fireplace will go to John Han
nan, former private secretary to Sen
ator LaFollette and at present COM
mittee clerk of his committee in Wash
ington. It is also said in Madison that
Hannah has always been promised
something good eventually for his
work for reform" and that it is be-
lieved he will be given the federal
plum.
Erred" KulI of Lake Geneva is an
other reformer who would like the
place, but the general belief seems to
be that his services for sThe Cause
have not been Of sufficient moment to
entit1e him to the place.

NEED STRONG LAWS
State insurance Investigation of
FraternaI Insurance Societies
Shows Need of Legislation
RATES MUST BE ADVANCED

The result of the investigation of
the fraterna1 insurance societies
shows plainly that the fraternal asso-
Citations recognize very clearly that
there must be strong legislation on
the subject of fraterna1 insurance in
all of the states of the union In the
near future.
In the discussion before the insur-
ance Investigating committee Satur-
day afternoon, these fraterna1 officers
also appeared to understand that Wis
consin through the legislature of
1907 was likely to be a pioneer In this
line of legislation. Three points were
brought out forcib1y by the discussion
with the officers of the fraternal asso-
Citations yesterday afternoon. They
were:
THAT the fraterna1 societies must
raise their rates in order to give a
sufficient protection.
2-That IN the future their life in
surance policies must be valued on
very much the same basis as are now
the policies of old line companies or
that, in other words, fraternal insur-
ance must be placed on a basis save
for expense very similar to that of old
line companies. The saving on the
fraternal premium to be made to a re-
duction of the expense of the COM
pany rather than suppositions of a
lessened mortality charge.
3-That publicity must be feature
of all movements of fraterna1 associa-
tons and that the policy-holders or
members be thus given a complete
understanding of just exactly what
their insurance amounted to.
The main point of debate IN the dis
cussion was the advisabi1ity of the
use of the American experience tables
as a basis for the computation of
the mortality charge whichl the fra
ternals must carry. D. D. Aitkin, gen.
era1 counsel for the Lady Macca bees,
and John D. Dennison of the Royal
Neighbors, opposed strongly Mr.. Hosts
suggestion of the adoption of the
American experience tables,and held
emphatica11y that the tables of the
fraternal congress offered sufficient
basis for the computation of its NOR
ta1ity charge. Mr.. Host did not think
so and in answer to the arguments of
those gentlemen recited very strongly
his reason for supporting the Ameri-
can experience tables. He declared
that he could see no reason why this
table which is now considered as
standard in many states of the union
should not be as applicable to frater-
nal insurance as 10 the old line COM
panies.
Edmund Jackson discussed with Mr..
Host at length the proposition for the
valuation of fraterna1 policies. Mr..
Host had not called the examination
which he proposed of the values of
these policies under the term of va1u-
alton, but admitted in response to Mr..
Jacksons' question that the result
would practically be such valuation
of the policies of fraterna1s. Mr..
Jackson intinated that this valuation
would practically place the fraterna1
company on an old line basis.
