If the insurance papers Of New York
could defeat Governor Hughes in his
candidacy for governor, they would
do it. IF the life insurance people of
that State do not vote against him,
they deserve to henceforth keep quiet
and never make another kick at any
turn of the law that might squeeze
them.-Western Insurance Review.
In the eyes of the average American
for the average American is both
honest and intelligent-th strongest
proof that public official ought TIC
be' reelected is that he is assailed for
doing his duty. Governor Hughes was
instrumental in bringing about the ex-
posture of great wrongs committed by
men nigh in the business of life in
surance; he was instrumental in put
ting into the pockets of policy holders
money that never would have reached
them but fer his actions. He tore the
seal from the whited sepulchre of life
Insurance management, and let in the
light. The results have been of the
greatest Denent to poncyholders and to
the public. Every policyholder is con
scious. Of Che fact that he or she is
treated with more justice and liberali-
ty than before the reforms brought
about by Governor Hughes.
Such an utterance as we have
quoted does not hurt the Republican
candidate for Governor of New York,
who is taking such a prominent part in
the national campaign; but it does
convey a most unfortunate impression
OF narrowness, selfshness and cupidity
on the part of those intrusted with the
vast financial interests and solemn re-
sponsibilities of life insurance
impression which, we believe, does in
justice to the very large majority Of
life insurance officials.

Democrats Making q Great Effort
to Find Something Against
Present Governor
RECORD is CLEAR AND OPEN
Republican Candidates Both State and
National Have Nothing to Conceal
and Prospect of Republican
Success Grow Brighter

Election in November is of the
greatest Importance to every citizen of
the United States. There is every
argument in favor of the Republican
ticket being elected from the president
down to the office of coroner in this
county. Democrats are making an eff
fort to convince the Workingman that
the conditions of the country are due
to the party in power The Repubh.
can party. is sound in it's principles and
the platform strong and convincing and
the election of William H. Taft as
president and James S. Sherman, vice
president, means resumption of pros
perity.
1t is admitted that Mr.. Taft is one
of the brainiest statesmen in the world
today; man who can grasp situa-
ton and bring about results for the
best interests of the masses; he has
always been the friend Of the me-
chanic; all of his past acts have been
for their interests as records show,
even the great Gompers not attempt
ing any arguments along those lines
Workingmen of Kenosha city and
county and in fact every voter of all
parties should carefully study the sit
nation, compare Mr.. Taft with Mr..
Bryan and there is no doubt but that
Mr.. Taft will get the overwhelming
majority of votes at the November
election.
There are a number of Democratic
politicians in this city and state who
have been making an attempt to- in
jure James o. Davidson, the RepubG-
can nominee for governor, False
hoods have been circulated with refer
ence to his attitude upon the tariff
question. Of course such methods are
shameful. There is no question but
that James O. Davidson is an honest
man and that he has made his way in
the world by industry and integrity
and he has worked toward the top of
politics by faithful effort to serve the
people. How he was elected to con-
gress, the legislature and then COVER
nor is history. Every act while he
has been governor has been honest and
square and he has allowed ne class o.
faction to work him. Reports have
been sent out that he is "standpat
ter." The implication that he is OPP
posed to the revision of the tariff, is
untrue. What he opposes is a revision
of the tariff that would be injurious
to the American industries and the
American workingman. The fact is
that he is in favor of tariff revision
along the right lines and he is not in
favor of the Democratic tariff reduc-
tion plan. The people of this state
know Governor Davidson and his
record. It is open as book and no
one can find blot. The governor will
receive one Of the old time Republican
majorities in this city and county.
John Strange for lieutenant COVER
nor, James A. Frear, for secretary of
state; Andrew H. Dahl, for treasurer;
Frank A. Gilbert for attorney general
and George A. Beedle for commission
er Of insurance, are all able, honest
and capable men.

The force of a bad example is seen in
the alacrity with which various adver-
tisers are following the lead of the
politicians and painting their signs on
the sidewalks all over the city. The
time to stop this vandalism is now be-
fore it gets too much of start and
becomes the regular thing. Unless the
authorities have some favorites all ad-
vertisers have the same rights to the
sidewalks and we will have fine look

Is it going to be necessary to muzzle
the horses next?

We trust that the inquisitive gentle
man who was looking for information
in regard to the purchase Of those city
fountains has been satisfied. It will
do no harm for the men who put up
the money in taxes to inquire oc-
casionally how it is spent. They

The condition of the city's finances
is not particularly encouraging, but it
is going to be a difficult matter to
find an excuse for tax levy of more
than one per cent. Under proper man
agement one per cent levy with what
is paid in by the saloons would furnish
ample funds for all legitimate ex-
penses.

FAIL TO GET FARMS
Kenosha Men Unsuccessful in Drawing
for Land in the Rosebud Reservation

Many Kenosha people are watching
with greatest interest the big lottery
in, connection with the drawing for
lands in the Rosebud reservation on
account of the fact that more than
twenty people from Kenosha county
have fled applications for farms in
the reservation. Not one OF the Ke-
nossha men has been drawn out in the
first three days of the drawing and
they are beginning to lose hope Of get
ing any of Uncle Sans cheap land.
Wisconsin people have not been at all
fortunate in the drawing and while
more than half Of the land has been
allotted less than dozen Wisconsin
men have been winners. It is said
that over 700 Wisconsin men filed APP
plications for land.

take enough interest in your own state
to talk over those amendments to the

Two of them are of vast Importance

they should be given careful considera
ton by every voter.

SHADY ADVANCEMENT
 OF TIL AB0Ri6lNES
Two of Them in the County Jai
 Charged With Forgery.

Kee Shelly and Tom Shorty two for mer pupils of the Indian school have reached an advanced stage of the whitemans civilization. They are in the county jail with a charge of for gery against them. The two Indians day before yesterday offered a govern ment check to H. Rosenstein. The amount of the check was $50 and it bore the name of C. w. Goodman, su- perintendent of the Indian school and disbursing agent. It was made pay able to MarysR. Sanderson of the Fort MDowell school. When it was offered to MT. Rosenstein it bore the apparent indorsement of Miss Sanderson and therein consists the forgery. Rosen- stein also endorsed it preparatory to offering it at the bank but later he became suspicious of the transaction and made inquiry of the Indian school authorities.
 Disciplinarian Grinstead came to town and sWore out warrant in Jus tice Johnstones court for the arrest of the Indian boys and they were taken into custody They will probably have a hearing tomorrow.

 that fatal afternoon and if the murder had not been committed at Commercial Square it would have been attempted elsewhere. There have been reports of dissatisfaction in the army and navy but careful investigation does not con firm them. It may be assumed that the military is still loyal. The latter part of the week there was a fear that an attempt would be made today to complete the bloody work left unfin- ished a week ago. To prevent anything of the kind extraordinary precaution was taken.

It is known that Franco was marked for assassination. That is why he deemed it wise to flee. But the assassination of the king was not ex- pected and it created almost reign of terror in high places.
 RIGOROUS CENSORSHIP
 The censorship that is being main- tained over the commercial press dis patches is rigorous. There is in oper- ation a regular star chamber to pre- vent any but the most rosy view of the situation reaching the outside world. Even letters are opened by the authorities and foreign newspaper cor respondents who flocked to Lisbon af- ter the tragedy were completely foiled. Several days ago they were informed by the telegraph officials high and low, that the censorship was virtually at an end. By this means they were induced to file messages at Lisbon but thou sands of words never got farther than the waste paper basket. The senders became suspicious and their belief was finally confirmed when sections of news dispatches taken at random, in order completely to destroy the sense of the text, were returned to the writ CTS. The censorship applied in the most stupid fashion. Not only was everything representing Portugal to be other than in state of blissful tran guilty and in the deepest mourning eliminated from the press reports, but whenever the censor with half
