Care Of for City Election
ENTHUSIASM IN ALL WARDS
Committee Finds Only Few Holes in
the Ticket and These Are Filled
Up With Good Men This
Afternoon

The republican party In Kenosha is
now ready for the primary election for
at the meeting of the Advisory City
Committee held on Thursday evening
it was reported that practically every
place on the city and ward tickets had
been filed and nearly all of the petit
tions are ready to be filed with the city
clerk on March z. When the committee
went over the field last night it was
found that candidates had come out for
all the city Offices and for all ward Of
fees save in the three North Wards and
there it was found that there were a
few vacancies on the ward tickets for
the offices Of School Commissioner and
constable. The representatives of the
ward on the committee at once brought
out men to fill these vacancies and the
petitions were prepared and placed in
circulation this morning.
Chairman Pfennig in speaking of the
matter this morning said, cit is GER
tain that every place on the Republican
ticket will be filled for we now have in
our possession petitions enough to Sc
cure the nomination of every man on the
city ticket and the reports from the
wards indicate that the Republicans are
thoroughly aroused and that the ticket
presented to the people this year viii
be one of the best tickets of represen-
tative men ever offered to the people
of Kenosha for their votes. Every care
has been taken to get good clean men
to enter the field for the different of
fees and we feel that the work of the
committee has been done in satisfac-
tory manner. / was greatly pleased
with the enthusiasm shown at the meet
ing on Thursday evening as it shows
that the party is ready and willing to
get down to work and there is good rea-
son to believe that the ticket will get
a large measure of success.
The committee has a few petitions
yet to get out but they will go out dur
ing the day and there is no doubt but
that they will be in in time to have
the names placed on the primary bal
lot -
The Committee will now take charge
of the work of getting out the voters
at the primaries so that all the Republi-
cans in the city will be registered for
the election
