Republicans United in Support Of
Edward C. AIIeman as the
Candidate for Mayor
TICKET MERITS SUPPORT
Republicans In All Parts of the City
Begin Enthusiastic Work for the
Election of all Candi-
dates On Ticket

Backed by united Republican party,
Edward G. Alleman the Republican
candidate for mayor began his cam
paign Of the city this morning and en-
listing the aid of every member of the
party in the city it is expected that the
work Of the campaign will be kept
moving from now until the last vote
has been registered on election day.
The great vote cast at the primary on
Tuesday left no chances for doubt as
to the choice of the Republicans for
their candidate for mayor and the de-
feated candidates snd their friends
have accepted the nomination of Mr..
Alleman as the will of the party and
coats are being pulled off and sleeves
rolled up and there is determination on
all sides to elect Mr.. Alleman and finish
for all time the rule of the Democratic
party in Kenosha. The hatchet is
buried so far as the Republicans are
concerned and the campaign WI be a
vigorous one. Mr. Alleman has asked
his friends to make the campaign a
clean cut one free Of personalities and
this is the rule that is to be followed
regardless of the moves of the opposi-
ton.
The Republican candidate for mayor
is so widely known in the city that he
will need no introduction to the voters
and all that is needed to secure a
triumphant victory at the polls is a full
vote Of the Republicans of the city.
Mr.. Alleman stands ready to do his
part, and as he has been selected as the
standard bearer of the party the leaders
are agreed that he is entitled to the
loyal support of every member Of the
party. The advisory committee Of the
party has already started work to get
out the literature for the campaign and
every member Of tins committee will
stand behind Alleman in his campaign.
A meeting Of the City Committee will
be held within the next few days at
which time some arrangements for the
campaign VII be made.
The results of the primaries have
changed it from personal fight on the
part of Candidate Alleman to a fight
for the Republican party and as such
every loyal member Of the party is ex-
pected to line up shoulder to shoulder
and face the opposition with a determi-
nation to win
The Republican ticket this year is ex-
trnmIv c+ronO and avnry 1Y.n nar3ad Of
the primary is worthy of the support
Of the people Of the city. There are
no holes i'll the ticket that need patch
ing up and there is not man on it whom
any man can decline to support. It
compares more than favorably with the
ticket named by the Democrats. The
candidate for City Clerk is M. j.
Schulien and he is we'll known as a
young man of integrity and honesty and
wholly capable of holding the position
of city clerk The candidate for city
treasurer is William Leonard a former
grocery man and man who has made
good in several lines of work
James Fl. Charles and Ralph E. Suth-
erland the Republican nominees for as
SCISSOR are entitled to support from all
people in the city who are seeking to
get the best men as assessors. These
two men have resided in the city for
years and know the value of property.
They will bring to the Office of assessors
a mature judgment that has been
gained by years of residence in the city
and this fact is worth consideration on
the part of the taxpayers when they
get ready to vote.
The election of Benjamin o. Sturges
to the Office of justice of the peace is
a crying need Of Kenosha. It matters
not whether lawyer or layman, every
voter should give Mr.. Sturges his sup
port. He served the city well in the
Office of justice up to year ago when
the voters tried an experiment of put
ting in an unschooled official. Many of
them have realized their mistake. The
only way to rectify it is to see to it that
the full vote is polled for Sturges.
The nominees of the Republican
party in the wards are all men of
sterling worth and character. Men who
are substantial tax payers in the city
and men who are entitled to the support
of the voters regardless Of party af-
filiatiOns.
