huenttal. the newspapers must advo-
cate principles. and not any one man.
The party newspapers influence
should be used to advocate the exc
cution, observance and carrying out
of the policies of the party that it be-
lieves is best for law and order and
good government and the prosperity
of the people. 1t should not be used,
before the primary nominations are
made, to further the candidacy of any
one man above another
1t Is the duty of the newspaper to
give the people the fullest informa-
tion 1t can of the different candidates,
to report the speeches that are made
and the meetings that are held for
the candidates so that the people can,
uninfluenced by the personal prefer
ence of the editor of that paper, In
diligently decide as to which of the
candidates they desire to have exc
cute the policies and principles of
their party.
Then after the people have declar-
ed their choice, it is the function of
the newspaper to work for the cleo
tion of the man that the majority Of
the party with which it is affiliated,
have chosen as their representative
to execute the policies which 1t be-
5lieves are best for the common good
of ALL
1t is the privilege of every man to
have his Individual preference as to
who he wants to represent his party
in office, and it is his privilege to
stand for that man.
But it is the duty of the newspa-
per to stand for the principles and
policies that are the fundamental
foundation of the party which it be-
lieves stands for the best government.
The newspaper that will continuously
take up, before the date of the pri-
maries. the cause of any one particu-
lar candidate, cannot lay claim to
representing its party, but must GER
tainly degenerate into one man
organ.
1t is to the glory of the organiza-
ton and the everlasting honor of its
founders, that under the policies and
principles of the republican party,
this country has enjoyed the most
wonderful advancement and prosper
ity. and it made no difference as to
the name Of the man who admins
tered these policies

MUST USE BALLOTS
kenosha People Must Use Ballots
!. as Well as Machines at the
Coming City Election
DELEGATES NAMED BY BALLOT

County Clerk Russell H. Jones has re-
ceived a letter from the secretary of
state informing him that notwithstand-
ing the fact that voting machines are
used at all regular elections in Kenosha
it will be necessary for the voters to
city this year. The machines will be
used for the election Of the various
city and ward officials and for the cleo
ton Of the justice of the Supreme
Court but the old-fashioned ballots are
to be brought back into service for the
selection of delegates to the National
Republican, Democratic, Prohibition,
and Social Democrats conventions The
attorney general has decided that this
is primary election and that in order
to carry out the exact letter Of the pri-
mary law it will be necessary to have
ballots at all of the polling places for
the election Of such delegates. The bal
lots will be of the same form as those
to be used at the primary election on
next Tuesday and they will have one
page for each party which seeks to elect
delegates by means Of the primary. The
Prohibitions Social Demrocatic and
other smaller parties have not filed lists
of men who are to be voted for as
delegates and as the time will end in
a few days it is not thought that these
lists will be filed. Under the ruling
of the state this will legislate Wiscon-
sin out Of these National Conventions,
but it is probable that the conventions
themselves Will make provision by
which delegates from the state will be
seated.
The introduction of the ballots at
the spring election will make no end
of trouble for the voters and the men
in charge of the various voting places.
It will be necessary to provide each
place with ballot boxes and man will
have to be added to the force in order
to take care of the primary ballots.
1t is feared that the fact that these
ballots can not all be voted on the
machine Will materially reduce the num-
Der of ballots cast for the delegates
OF the various parties as it is always
found difficult to get voters to hang
around long enough to vote a second
ballot especially when it is on a minor
question. The great question of the
coming city election will be the election
Of city officials and few of the voters
Will spend great deal of time voting
for delegates to the different conven-
tons.

Frank P. Calaghan has appealed to

Late last night large stone was hurled
through the front window Of the Calag-

dow was struck in the arm by the stone
and badly bruised. Her injuries are
not considered serious Many other
things have been done to annoy the
members Of the family, among others
rope was tied across the front porch
and Calaghan was tripped and fell
heavily
There seems to be no cause for the
unusual activity about the Calaghan
home but it is supposed that the things
are being done by some men in the
nelghborhood who have a grudge
against Calaghan and his wife
