OF VITAL lMMPoRTANCE TO ALL
OF OUR SUBSCRIBERS

The postmaster general has promul.
gated a new regulation in regard to
the newspaper postage, effective to-
morrow, of vast Importance TO the
newspapers of the country. 1t reads:
"A reasonable time will be al.
lowed publishers to secure renewals
OF subscriptions. but they must be re.
newed after the term for which they
are paid within the following periods
Dailies, within three months: tri
weeklies. within six mcnths semi
weeklies. within nine months; week
lies, within one year. seml-monthlies
within three months; monthlles, with
in four months; bi-monthlies, within
six months, and quarterlies within sia
months. Otherwise they shall not be
counted in the legitimate list of sub
scribers. and copies mailed on account
thereof shall not be acceted for mail
ing at the second-class postage rate
but be mailed at the transient sec
ohu-tiaon iatc VI cent LoI eftfy

The effect of this is TO require q

District Attorney Still at Work On In

(From Mondays Daily.)


District Attorney Baker is still hard
at work on the investigation Of the al
legged illegal voting on last Tuesday but
as yet no warrants have been issued or
arrests made It is said that signed
complaints are being made out, but if
this is the fact there is no word to veri-
fly it from the district attorney. The
office of the district attorney was a busy
place this morning and several Italians
were there to tell Of alleged Irregular
ties in the voting. Mr. Baker stated
that he had found nothing startling. It
is said that action may be taken on
Wednesday to cause the arrest of sever
al men who are alleged to have voted
on Tuesday, but this state
ment is not from the District Attorney s
office. Mayor German is aiding the at
torney in every possible way in gather
ing the evidence. The polling list from
the Fifth ward is now in the hands Of
the district attorney and it is under
stood that he has received report from
detectives who have worked the ward
to find if the men named on the poll
list are residents there.

ASKS LIGHT AGAIN
City Clerk Harrington Asks Attorney
General for Opinion on Challenge Vote

City Clerk George Harrington has not
as yet received any answer from the at
torney general of the state in regard
to the disposition that is to be made of
challenged votes where machines are
used and he again communicated with
the official this morning in an effort to
get his views on the subject in time to
make arrangements to take care Of the
election week from tomorrow. Tt is
said in kilograms from some of the
cities that ballots are being prepared
to take care of these votes but there
is some question as to the legality of
this move. Tt is certain that there will
be many challenges in Kenosha this
year and, it is most necessary that some
ruling on this question be secured.
The attorney general does rot seem
to be in any way sure in regard to the
provisions of the primary and the new
election law and in many cases he has
turned the matter over to city attorneys.
The question of challenged votes seems
to be such a serious one that the of
flclals are anxious to have the attorney
general hold one way or the other on
It. The decision must come soon as if
it IS to be necessary to print ballots
the WORK must be started at once.
