More Than Six Miles of Cement
Sidewalk Laid in Kenosha
During the Summer
TO EXTEND CARRIER SERVICE.
Postoffice Department Will Keep Pace
With the Extension of Walks
and New Carrier May be
Named Next Month

City Sidewalk Inspector Edward
Tanning is making out his annual re
port Of the sidewalk work done in the
city during the present year and il
will set new record. There is one
thing that the present city administra
tion will go down into history for, an6
that will be as building more walks in
the city than any former administra
ton. Notwithstanding the many grade
fights and the contests over the width
of walks, the contractors who build
cement walks have Deen kept busy
since the opening day Of the spring
and in the eight months that have beer
fit for the work of building, more than
six miles of cement walks have been
laid. Not all the walks ordered in by
the last sidewalk ordinance have beer
built, but more than sixty per cent OF
these walks are in, and in addition
nearly three miles Of walks have beer
laid which were not included in the
ordinance. The report Of Inspector
Tanning will show that 558 pieces Of
walk were laid in the city this year
while the ordinance gave orders for but
456 walks. Last year there were but
90 pieces of cement walk laid IN Ke
nosha, so that it will be seen thai
more than six times as much walk has
been laid this year.
| The walks have been laid in every
part Of the city and for the first time
in years there are at least some streets
in the city that have sidewalks prop
erly graded for their full lengths. The
work has been pushed in the suburbs
Of the city more than in the old resi-
dent and building districts, and it i
admitted that IN many Of the outskirts
of the city there are better walks thar
in the business districts. At that thu
old board walks have been practically
driven out in the down town districts
! and it is expected that by the first o:
September of next year there will no
be a board walk in the business dis
trict. The inspector cannot give thu

of the pieces were long stretches, bu
he estimates that the total will be from
six to eight miles.
The laying of these walks has mean
much to the property owners and i
will mean a great extension of the fre
delivery service of the Kenosha post
Office. Inspector Ralph Bird Of Mil
waukee has been in Kenosha during tn
past two weeks looking over the vari
Gus delivery districts and it is certain
that it will be necessary to lay out nev
districts within a few weeks and thes
new districts will include great dea
Of territory that has not heretofor
been included in the free deliver,
routes. An increase in the number o
carriers is also possibility of tn
near future, as direct result Of tn
building of the new walks.

ever been presented by any party for that office. Great applauseD It has been my pleasure to know William Jennings Bryan for aboat 15 years. He is tho most remarkable man-he Is a natural orator. but on the whole I think he is the most impractical man l ever knew. Late ly he has been claiming that the republie- an party is getting ready to buy the elee- ton. You know in 1896 he said, after the election, that Mr. Mark Hanna bought tho election. In 1900 he said, after the elect ton, that MT Hanna had again bought the election. Of course the republicans are not going to buy republican votes, and 1t seems that MT. Bryan ought not to islander the good democrats of the country and intimate that they are going to sell out. On recent visit to our sec ton our great standard bearer said that he had met some good democrats who were going to vote for him. He said one good kind were those who had no apologies tolmal5e; then another good kind were those who were not going to vote at all-were going to stay away from the polls; and another good kind, those who were going to vote for his opponent, but were praying for his success. So l take 1t that you have many good democrats Of that kind in your community and city. am glad to see so many ladies~present, showing that they take an interest in the political welfare of our country. l trust you will all go to church tomorrow and pray for the success of MT. Taft.

Hot Eioht In Ohio.

Cincinnati October 3t.-Instead of a Saturday night finish. one of Ohio's hot test political campaigns will not close until almost balloting time. After the opening of the campaign under general apathy, there was a change in leader ship, and general activity and general hustle took charge. The result was a steady elashing of combatants, big guns being hurried forward from all direc- tions, the last few days being signalized by a furious cannonadng all along the line.
 Local and national issues were much mixed in various sections. The famous "Akron speech in which Judge Taft three years ago attacked political bosses and the same candidates alleged attitude on labor, were used as campaign ammuni- ton by the democrats, the republicans in return attacking Mir. Bryan along la bor and other lines
 The temperance issue greatly compl- cated the battle. Governor Harris, whom the republicans seek to re-elect, was pro- nounced in favor of county local option, while Judson Harmon, the democratic candidate, although refusing to commit himself on that question, was given the hearty support of the personal liberty league.
 The state auditor and state treasurer, the present incumbents, being republic ans, attracted more fire than other minor officials because of the recent legislative Investigation of those offices.
 The legislature to be elected will choose a successor to Senator Foraker, who re- gards a reelection as a vindication of re- cent charges.

Campaign In Illinois.

Chicago, October 31-The campaign in Illinois will not actually close until the voting is finished While it is generally conceded that the state is safe for the re- publican national ticket. keen fight ex- ists over the governorship between Charles Deneen, republican, and Adlai E. Stevenson, the democratic leader It is admitted by the republican leaders that their gubernatorial candidate will run considerably behind the national ticket, and the democrats confidently claim that their man will be elected.
 In Chicago the chief contest Is over the states attorneyship. the republicans be- ing badly split. Because of the factions in the republican ranks the democratic candidate, Jacob J. Kern, stands an ex- cellent show of election.
 Although leaders of both parties make more or less sweeping claims of success, there seems to be no reason to doubt that Illinois will choose the republican national ticket, a republican legislature, which will choose success to Albert J. Hopkins, and the probability is that they will succeed in electing the head of their state ticket, although this is not certain. It is be- lieved, however, that the majorities for MT. Taft in the various counties of the state will show marked decline from those given President Roosevelt four years ago.

Outlook In Ohio.

Columbus, O., October 31.-Henry A. Williams, chairman of the republican state committee, tonight said
 we believe the republican candidates in the state and the nation are march ing forward to a splendid victory. But that triumph should be so decisive as to fix beyond question the controlling pol icies of the government for the next four years and thus give that stability Q commercial conditions necessary to a complete resumption of prosperity.
 William Howard Taft, as a candidate for President has measured up to his past achievements. He has met with ab- solute frankness and convincing loglc every attack made upon him and has de- seconded to none of the tricks of the demagogue to win the support of the minimizing. Let us see to it that we hold mp his hands and support his poi icies by selecting a congress for him
