This was the primary ticket endorsed
by the Democrats of Kenosha county
in convention assembled at the Court
House late Saturday afternoon, the mat
ter of naming the candidates for coun-
ty offices being taken up after the
delegates to the state convention had
been named. The action Of the CON
vention was only as advisory and a
committee consisting of John G. Slater,
George B. McCarron, G. F. Stemm, Will
liam Swift of Kenosha and Emmett
Shields Of Bristol was named to have
charge of nominations and see to it
that all places on the ticket were filled
before the primary election.
John Bohrn, the nominee for member
of the Assembly has consented to make
the run for the Office and it is said that
John T.. Mgh has agreed to run for
County Clerk, but Calvin Stewart, the
nominee of the convention for District
Attorney, announced that he could not
make the run. He declared that he ap-
preciated the endorsement of the COZ
yention, but that he had been urged
to run for congress in the district and
that ii he went out after any nomina-
ton he would seek the congressional
nomination. Notwithstanding his de-
Ginning, the Democrats present decided
to put nomination papers in circulation
and if possible have his name placed
on the ticket. The convention decided
that no endorsements would be made
where there were candidates in the field
and the contesting candidates will fight
it out at the primary election.
There will be no name placed on the
Democratic ticket for surveyor as the
death of William McKesson left the
party without any one to take this Of
fee and the place will be left blank.
TIL action of the convention in en-
dorslng these men for office will Of
course not interfere with any other
candidate entering the field for the
various nominations, but it is thought
that the expression OF the party pre-
ference for these men will cause other
candidates to hesitate.
Notwithstanding the predictions made
at the convention that it was to be a
Democratic year there was no grand
rush among the members of the con
vention to get on the ticket and it is
evident that the members Of the party
will have some trouble filing some Of
the places on the ticket. However, the
committee will get out drag net at
once and there is little doubt but that
the ticket will be filed with the excep-
ton of a nominee for surveyor.
Immediate steps will be made to re-
organize the Democratic COUNTY Com
mittee and funds will be secured for a
hard fight in this county. It is under
stood that the state and national com
mlttees believe that there is good
chance to get Kenosha county this year
and for this reason an extra effort is to
be made.
