Former Mayor Of Racine Boldly
Declares Himself in Favor
Of Secretary Of War
MAKES RACE FOR DELEGATE
Sends Open Letter To the Voters of the
District in Which He States a
Few Facts In Regard to
the Coming Campaign

In an open letter addressed to the
Republicans Of the First Wisconsin
District, Peter B. Nelson, former mayor
Of the City Of Racine this morning an
nounced himself candidate for the
office of delegate to the National Con-
vention to represent the First Wiscon-
sin District. Mr.. Nelson comes into the
field as a delegate favorable to the
nomination of Secretary Taft. In his
letter he says:
''I have decided to become candi-
date for delegate to the Republican
National Convention. My preference
for president is Mr.. Taft. have felt
for years that by reason of the ability
with which he has executed the various
responsible duties given him that he
has demonstrated his great executive
ability. There is absolutely no one, no
matter though they may have other
preferences, but acknowledges that he
will make good, safe and strong presi-
dent. Confidence as to the future is
what the country needs now more than
anything else and l believe that were
Taft nominated now all feeling of I'M
certainty that comes with our presi-
Dental elections would pass away and
we could see good times again.
We all know how the rest of the
country feels about this because out of
about one hundred and twenty five dele
gates so far chosen, as I understand it,
about one hundred and eight are for
Taft.
y realize that solely as a matter of
sentiment it would be nice to have a
president from Wisconsin, but so far
as 1 can see it that is all there is to
our further being asked to support SEN
ator LaFollette.
l can see nothing gained by Wiscon-
sin going to the Convention supporting
forlorn hope.
1t is generally understood that Presi-
dent Roosevelt favors Mr.. Taft IS Sc
lection and he ought to know who
would make good president, and re-
member to have heard Congressman
Cooper praise Mr.. Taft very highly and
say that he would like to see Mr.. Taft
president, SO with these two men, who
know him intimately, recommending
him am sure all Republicans can well
support him.

TAX voLIvA $4,000 FOR LIBEL
Zion City Overseer Declares That He
Will Not Pay

II will appeal to the highest courts.
I never will pay a cent.
This was the defiance uttered yester-
day afternoon by Wilbur Glenn Voliva
general overseer of Zion City, when in
formed that jury had decided he
should pay $4,000 for libeling Philip
w. Mothersill an attorney whom he
one day called an "upstart lawyer"
while preaching in his tabernacle.
The jury reached the verdict Satur-
day morning, in the Circuit Court of
Lake County, at Waukegan. The ma
jority of the jurymen first favored a
verdict of $4,000, it is said. This was
cut to $4,000 and finally all agreed up
on $4,000 as compromise.
The size of the verdict created gen.
eral surprise, as it is said to establish
a record in libel suits in that part of
the state of Illinois
Interesting developments are fore
seen, as the result of the statement by
Voliva, whose attorneys fled motion
for new trial Immediately after the
announcement of the verdict. Judge
Charles Donnely will pass on the motion
this week.

MANY GETTING PAPERS
Sixty-six Aliens Have Been Natyralized
Since the Opening of the Primary

1t was thought that the new law in
regard to the naturalization of aliens
would put an end to the rush of aliens
for papers just before election but it
seems that there is going to be the US
ual rush this year. They are coming
in now at the rate Of a dozen day
and it is claimed that more would come
were it not for the fact that it is physi-
cal impossibility for the clerk to make
out the papers. Most Of the aliens
seeking first papers in order to vote at
the primaries are Italians, Danes, Ger
mans and Poles. Under the new law
the fee for naturalization is placed at
ore dollar and the work Of bringing in
the votes is proving more expensive to
the politicians than in former years.

TAKE SECOND MATCH
Kenosha Whist Players Defeat
Players Of Heyer Club at
Racine by Sixty Tricks
RACINE PLAYERS TAKE BRACE

The members of the Kenosha Whist
Club showed the members of the Heyer
Whist Club Of Racine another trick
with hole in it Monday evening when
the Kenosha players more than dupli-
Gated the defeat administered to the
Racine teams here a week ago at the
rooms of the Heyer Club in Racine,
when the Racine players were defeated
by total Of sixty tricks on twenty
four boards.
Since last Monday night the members
Of the Racine club had sent out the
distress call and all of the old time
players had been lined up for the match
last night and there was no doubt but
that the Racine players had designs on
Wiping out the defeat that had been
administered to them in Kenosha
Some of the men who had not been seen
IN club game for as much as three
years turned up last night, but even
with this strong line up the Racine
teams could not return a winning score
The individual players of the Racine
club did a little better than at the
former match in Kenosha but the ag-
gregate Of tricks made by the Kenosha
team was larger than before. How
ever four of the Racine teams were
above the average for play, but the
heavy winnings of the four Kenosha
teams who finished with a plus score
were so large that the Racine experts
could not overcome them. Captain
Charles Frantz and William F. Fisher
led the North and South forces for
Kenosha while Gibson and Sullivan had
an easy race for the honor in the East
and West hands
The next match between. the two
clubs will be played in Kenosha on next
Monday night when the Racine club
Will send ten teams to Kenosha.
The score Of the match on Monday
evening was as follows:

"AMERICA'S UNCRoWNEO
QUEEN"

Rev. Homer T. Wilson's Lecture a
Matchless Gem of oratory.
The first Christian church was
crowded last night to hear Rev. Ho.
mer T. Wilson's great lecture, "Amer.
ica's Uncrowned Queen" delivered un-
der the auspices Of the Young Ladies'
Circle. Rev. Wilson enjoys a nation
al reputation as an orator, and should
he choose to turn his attention to
the stage, he might easily become
equally famous as an actor. AS a
master of mellifluous English, word
painter, and emotional delineator he
probably has no superior on the
American platform He held the al
most breathless attention of his au-
dience, and played upon the emo
lions at will But he did not alone
entertain. The noble theme was
made the vehicle of inspiring truths
regarding the progress and mission
of woman since Christianity made
her free. History and literature were
drawn upon for the treasures of her
deeds, and her wonderful accomplish.
ments in every sphere of life extoll-
ell. In the beautiful peroration,
Americas Uncrowned Queen" stood
revealed in the person OF the wife
and mother in the Christian home.
