MUST GIVE ALL EXPENSES
Attorney General of State Interprets
the Law in Regard to Expenses

the Law in Regard to Expenses
The Wisconsin law requiring candi-
dates for public office to file state
ments of their expenditures as such
candidates requires candidates ito
include in their statement of cam
pa;gn expenses all moneys expended
in connection with their candidates.
of which they have knowledge,
whether such expenditures are auth
orized by them or not" And the
candidate is required to make diligent
inquiry of committees or persons as
to the amounts and purposes of ex-
penditures in his candidacy.
This is the opinion of Attorney Gen
eral Sturdevant, issued in reply to a
letter Of inquiry from w. A. Hayes,
assistant district attorney of Milwau-
kee county, in regard to the state
ment of the expenses of F. E. McGov-
ern, the successful independent can
didate for district attorney of Milwau-
kee county. The letter of inquiry
sets forth the candidacy of Mr.. Nc
Govern for the Republican nomina-
ton, his defeat in the primary cleo
ton, the movement of citizens toward
his independent candidacy and his
acceptance of the call. 1t also states
that the citizens committee spent
money in the campaign and that Mr..
McGovern also spent some, and de-
sires to have the attorney general
construe the law as to the obligation
of the candidate to ascertain expendi-
lures made by others in his behalf.
The attorney general says that the
purpose of the law is to make public
the cost of campaigns. and that the
candidate should make inquiries OF
committees and others, so as to be
able to comply with the law.
So far few of the candidates for
county Office or for nominations have
filed with the register of deeds state
ments of their expenses during the
campaigns. While not great deal
of money was expended by candidates
after the primaries, the amounts ex.
pended previous to the primaries were
! considera BILE, as all candidates sought
new acqaintances and to renew ole
ones.

THE lack of accommodations for the
rapidly increasing business of the
hospital is the most serious problem
abe directors have to face at present,
and something will have to DE done
about new building before very long.
This is matter that interests every
citizen of'Kenosha, and all will be ex-
pected to do their share when the call
comes for funds to carry on the hos
pital work.

Men Who Have Been Supported
by the City at the Poor Farm
Refuse to Do Any Work
MAY BE JAILED AS WARRANTS
Mayor German Has the Men Examined
by Physician and Then Orders
Them Either to Work or Get
Out of the Poor House

Kenosha is not much given to labor
troubles but just at the present time
there is strike on in Kenosha which
is one of the most unusual ever known
in Wisconsin,. Seven men who have
been living at the Kenosha poor farm
have gone on a strike. Theysdo not
make any demands for recognition
of union nor are they demanding
an increase off wages but they are
striking and they have declared that
they will not return to work.
This strike among the inmates of
the poor house was reported to Mayor
German yesterday and as thesmen are
not seeking a conference with their
employers it looks very probable that
the strike will soon be converted into
lock out and the dependents who
have been finding a home and their
meals at the poor farm will besforced
out into the cold word to make living
just like their less favored sbrothers.
The mayor claims that the trouble
is not strike but asmutiny and that
the seven old men are up in arms
against the authoritySof the superin-
tendent, Robert Grant. 1t istnot that
the old men have any sgrievance
against Grant but the walking dele
gate has reached the apoor farm
and one of the mum bersactlng in this
capacity has notified the men that
they cannot be forced ito work unless
they want TO. This is the4 cause of
all the trouble. Yesterday Keeper
Grant ordered thegmen to come out
into the field withlhimSand help him
husk the corn but the men turned up
their noses and retiredsto the Erooms
on the second hoorsof the house and
informed the superintendent that he
had no authority to tell them to go to
work. They insisted that. they were
the wards of the city and.it was the
duty of the city to support them with
out labor. They refuseds to even do
the common chores about the house
and notified the superintendent that
their declaration of independence
was an ultimatum.
matter in hand and directed that the
city physician be sent to the place to
make an examination andsreport the
condition of the men. The physician
found that all the men save one were
perfectly able toawork and with this
report the mayor directed the super
intendent to order themstoiwork again
and if the men refused to drive them
out into the streets aud allow them to
be arrested for vagrancy.
There is scarcelys anysswork to do
about the place and the men have all
the time in the world do it. 1t has al
ways been an easy matter forGthem to
do this work but the discomfort is
alleged to have been brought about
by one of the men. They will be
given until this evening to get down to
work again and if they still decline
they will be forced to give up their
snap of living at the expense of the
city.

THE day of penny postage is yet
affair off, With the expenses of the
rural free delivery system and other
expensive innovations to be met, the
Postal Department will show a deficit
FOR good many years yet, and it is
unlikely that any proposition to re-
dnce rates will receive serious con-
sideration until the department shows
handsome surplus on the two cent

AFTER LOST BOY
Frank Hanson, of Waukegan, Looking
for His Son Who Has Disappeared

Frank Hanson, claiming Waukegan
as his horne, is here searching for
some trace of his twelve year old son,
Leo Hanson, who disappeared from
his home on last Monday. The boy is
decidedly old looking for mis- age and
the father claims that he would pass
for a boy of sixteen. The father be-
ieves that the boy came to Kenosha
and that he is now working ia some
of the factories here. a round of the
factories is being made by the father.
It is claimed that the boy left his
home in Waukegan, because his father
insisted on him going to school.

EXAMINATION FOR CARRIERS
Nine Kenosha County Boys Seek to Get
on List of Eligibles for Positions

on List of Eligibles for Positions
Nine Kenosha county men are
anxious to get on the pay roll and
they appeared at the city hall this
morning to take an examination for
rural mail carrier. The examination
was held by Carl Maegaard, secretary
of the local Civil Service Board. The
papers will be sent to Washington
aud it will probably be several months
before the results are published. At
the present time there is but one
vacancy in the county but it is
thought that with the re-arrange-
ment Of the routes the government
will decide to put on several new
men. If this is the case the men
passing the examination with high
standing will probably get positions
within a short time.
