down However, [ shall lose none Of
my interest in Kenosha institutions and
shall continue to make my home IN
Kenosha. The election is for one year
and [ do not know what will be done
after that time. [ have always taken
an interest in the industries Of South
ern Wisconsin and the company in Ra
cine is engaged in the manufacture of
line in which I have been interested
for many years. The work promises to
be most pleasant for me.
