1t is rather surprising to Kenosha
voters to note that some of the cities
in the state are not at all satisfied with
the voting machines and that at least
two cities threaten to throw the ma
chimes out There was little difficulty
experienced in teaching the voters to
use the machines here and the prompt
ness with which the results of an cleo
tion can be known from the machine
is certainly great point in their favor
and one that appeals powerfully to the
voters. The machines are fairly popu-
lar here now and likely to remain so I'M
less the agents of the machine company
persist in endeavoring to interfere with
matters that are none of their business
and which do not affect the value of
the machines one way or another in the
slightest.

man Gross by an even 10. votes. In
the hot aldermanic contest IL the Fourth
ward John Anderson defeated John H.
Blair by vote of 1S9 to 102.
Other interesting contests at the pri-
mary were between Fred Becker and
J. w. DeCou for the Office of school
commissioner in the Third ward Here
there was q large number of women s
votes and DeCou won, not only by the
straight ballots, bnt had a large meas
ure of the support of the fair sex.
In the Fifth ward in the aldermanic
contest was hard fought one. between
George Harbaugh, and FREQ Beyer and
Harbaugh had the victory. The vote
was Harbaugh 155 and Boyer So.
The ticket as nominated by the Re
publicans is the strongest ever offered
for the votes of the people in the city
and with the united support of the party
1t looks certain that every man on the
ticket should have. an excellent chance
to win.

TROUBLE AT THE POLLS
Mayor Orders the Arrest of italian
Worker for Alleman in Third Ward

Ance3lo Cretello an Italian, secretary
of the Italian Society and man well
known amaong these people in Kenosha,
was arrested late Tuesday afternoon at
the Third ward voting place on the
orders Of Mayor James German who
charged him with attempting to inter-
fere with theswork of the inspectors of
the election. Cretello was a ward work
Ter for Alleman and he claims that he
Was bitterly misused According to his
story he was talking with one of his
eountryn'en who was supposed to be
'Torman man. when the mayor approach
cd him and after catching hold of him
ordered al officer to take him to the
police station.
The man alleges that the mayor@as-
saulted him striking him several times
in the face with his open hand AS
soon as the arrest of the man became
known to Mr.. Alleman he made every
effort to secure his release even offering
bond 10 the extent of $4,000. Cretello
finally went to jail He is to have a
hearing late this afternoon and Alleman
has employed attorneys to defend him.
1t is said that other warrants NAV he
issued ia connection with the case.

The anxiety of the politicians TO save
the voter the tremendous exertion of
pulling lever for each candidate he
votes for, is touching in the extreme
Such tender solicitude lest the voter
may overwork himself should be reward
ed by many votes Gall straight) on cleo
ton day and doubtless will be. It may
be the last chance to vote straight tic
kets in municipal elections. The time
has almost come when, in an effort to
secure a more intelligent vote at NUM-
cipal elections where to a great extent
the personal qualifications Of the diff
ferent candidates for office are known
to and should govern the action Of the
voter rather than blind adherence to
party, the law will require separate
vote on each candidate. In the mean
time, however, so long as other cities
are permitted to vote straight tickets
we see no reason why Kenosha should
not have the same privilege. The de-
bate on the amendments to the election
laws in the last legislature indicated
pretty clearly that none Of the cities
in this state will be permitted to vote
straight tickets on the machines in
municipal elections much longer.

DOWN AND OUT
Prominent Officials of Chicago 8
Milwaukee Electric Railway
Co. Give up Places
WORK MAY Be DELAYED

Surprise was caused today in all cities
along the line Of the Chicago Milwau-
kee Electric Railway company when it
became known that the receivers for
the company had laid off all men who
have been in charge of the construction
work for the company as we'll as GER
tain high salaried employees. Chief En-
gineer Gerahty, who has been in charge
of tho engineering department Of the
company in the building of the line be-
tween Evanston and Milwaukee and
John Scott, superintendent of construc-
ton, are among the men who have been
laid off,
1t was Thought that when receivers
were appointed for the company that
several high salaried officials would at
once be let out, but during the entire
winter when there was little, if any,
work to be carried out, these officials
were retained and at high salaries and
just as spring opened up and when work
on the road was expected to be resum-
ed the receivers laid off the officials, but
Informed them that their services would
probably again be required. It is re-
ported that both Messrs. Gerahty and
Scott have claims against the company
for several thousand dollars, salaries
and expenses and that they have made
demands tor such amounts.
There is a considerable stretch of
track to be built north of Racine and
before the road is completed between
Racine and Milwaukee. All excavat-
ing, filling in and the laying of ties
has been completed as well as the,
overhead wires All this work was in
charge of Messrs. Gerahty and Scott
and the receivers announced after
their trip Of inspection that work on
the completion Of the line would be
resumed early in the spring, but it is
now feared that it will be several
months before the receivers order the
work resumed. All that remains to
be done to complete the line into Mil
waukee is the laying of steel.

JOSHUA WHITLEY DEAD
Oldest Resident of the County Died
This Morning at His Home

Joshua M. Whitley aged 70 years the
oldest survivor Of the early pioneers of
The town of Pleasant Prairie died at
his home in that town at nine O'Clock
this morning as a result of a natural
breaking down due to advance age.
Mr., Whitley came to Kenosha, Coun-
ty seventy-one years ago from Albany,
New York, where he was born Dec. 10,
1884. For more than forty years he had
been deacon in the M. E. Church at
Pleasant Prairie and he was widely
known among the people in all parts
OF the county. He was never married.
Two brothers survive Albert of
Pleasant Prairie with whom he made
his home and DR.. Whitley who now
lives in Missouri. The funeral will be
held from the Church at Pleasant Prai-
RE on Sunday.

There is disposition in some quarters
to question the motives of some Of the
aldermen who opposed the letting of
the contracts for paving at this time
and who stood out for another advertise
ment for bids on the work, but what
ever their motives may have been it
surely looks as if they were right in
the stand they have taken. There is
every reason to believe that the city
will save money by waiting long enough
to get more bids on this job. 1t is true
that the figures on the lowest bid sub
mitted were within about six hundred
dollars of the estimates of the probable
cost of the work made some time AGO
by the city engineer but we believe that
if the city engineer had chance to re-
wise his figures at this time that the
totals on the cost of the work would
be cut down considerably. Estimates
made a matter of only two months ago
are not much good now. Prices of
labor and materials on this kind of work
have been falling right along and will
certainly go lower before they go higher
so the city can lose nothing by waiting.
Furthermore the contractors themselves
are eager to get the work and there is
little danger that any combination can
be formed to boost prices on the
city Any attempt of that kind would
be likely to result in an outsider .
getting the job. Few cities Of it's size
are going into Improvements so extern
sively as Kenosha this summer and as
things in that line look now, this con
tract is one well worth getting for any
contractor. There is not a great deal
OF work in sight for any Of them and
the contractors are not in any position
to pick and choose this year. That be-
ing the case all of them should be will
ing to scale the prices right down to bed
rock on the big job here and be satisfied
with moderate profit on this contract
in order to keep busy all summer.
