GETS TWO AFF|DAv|7S
District Attorney May Get Busy on
illegal Voting Matter Tomor.
row and Make Arrests
IGNORANCE CAUSES TROUBLE

The investigation into the Illegal vot-
ing alleged to have been done on last
Tuesday at various polling places in
the city, is beginning to reach the acute
stage ard as a result there is general
feeling Of insecurity among the foreig-
ners of the city who are alleged to have
over-stepped the election laws by vot-
ing without papers. Six afidavits are
said to be in the hands of the district
attorney which may result in some cases
in court. Of course this is not enough
to affect the election in any of the
wards, but it may be sufficient to bring
to light the rotten conditions in some
Of the wards and serve as a warning
to the people that they will have to
guard well the ballot boxes on election
day. One Of these affidavits is signed
by an Italian who makes oath that at
the primary election he went to the
polls and voted for . Scholey' and that
at the time he voted he had not at any
time taken out papers declaring his in
tention to become a citizen Of the
United States. The man further sWears
that at the time he voted the man who
voted him, declared that it was not
necessary for him to have papers The
man asserts that he told this ward work
er that he had not taken out his first
papers. The contents of the other af-
fidavit now in the hands OF the district
attorney will probably be made public
within a few days. If the investiga-
tion is to result in any independent can
didates coming into the field they must
get busy at once as the time for the
filing Of papers is now decidedly short.
All sorts Of claims are being made in
regard to the number Of fraudulent
votes and the district attorney is IN.
vestigating these claims just as rapidly
as possible. It is found very difficult
to get a line on some of the illegal vot-
ers as it is claimed that many Of them
have left the city and all that is left
is to get after the men that are alleged
to have been responsible for these men.
Tt is just possible that the district at
torney will seek to get after the men
who were behind the illegal voting but
this is hard matter as most of the
men claim that they were voted by
workers and all of the candidates in
sist that if there was single man
voted Illegally it was done without
their knowledge or consent and that
they gave no orders to any workers to
make any effort to secure the nominal
tion by voting men who were not en-
titled to the right of franchise.

The council by unanimous vote has
decided to advertise for further bids on
all paying contracts. We believe that
the decision to postpone letting this
big contract was wise one and we
shall be disappointed and surprised if
the action taken in this matter by the
council does not result in considerable
saving to the city. It certainly looks
now as if a combination among the
contractors to boost prices On the city
is the only thing that can prevent the
city getting contract for this work
at lower price than on any of the
contracts just rejected by the council
and there is little danger of any COM
bination being formed at this time.
There is too little work in this line be-
ing planned for this summer to enable
the contractors to divide up territory.
The Kenosha job is big one and all
that will be necessary to get plenty of
bids is to let the contractors around the
country know that this city is again in
the market, F3ese VII ba enough Of
