Republicans Satisfied With Re-
suits of the Primary Plan To
Win Great Victory
RIVAL CANDIDATES IN LINE
County Committee Will Open Perma-
nent Headquarters and Work in
Unison With the National and
State Committees

With the result of the primary cleo
tion announced the Republicans Of Ke-
nosha county have started plans in
motion for the complete organization
Of the county with view Of rolling
up for the ticket this year the largest
vote in the history of the county. The
primary fight has brought no bitterness
and the defeated candidates have with
out exception signifed their intention
to work for the best interests Of the
party with just as much vim as they
would have worked if they were in
the ticket. Henry Timme, who came
near defeating w. H. Gunter for sheriff,
takes his defeat philosophically and he
will be one Of the first of the Republi-
cans of the county to pull off his coat
and get out to aid in the election.
Just as soon as the official count is
complete and the work of making this
count will start tomorrow morning
the Republican county committee will
be ~re-organized There will be lot
of new blood in this committee and the
| members will recognize no fractional diff
ferences that existed in the past 1t
will be Republican committee and
nothing else and the men on it will be
ready to work for the election of all
! the Republican candidates and not
for any clique. The committee will at
once get in touch with the state and
| national committees of the party and
arrange to get the most active work
possible going in Kenosha county.
Two years ago fractional differences
made it possible for the Democratic
candidates in the county to come close
to victory, but with united party it
is certain that there is no chance for
the election of single Democrat in
Kenosha county this year.
It is the plan Of the leaders of the
party to at once begin the organization
of working organizations in very ward
and town of the county to get the ma
chinery of the party oiled for the ma
tional campaign. Within month the
national committee will begin sending
the speakers into this county and they
are to be given every possible aid. For
the first time in four years the Re
| publican party is united and there is
absolutely no soreness. Every man on
the state and county ticket is accepta-
BILE to the rank and file of the party
and it is expected that some of the
old time enthusiasm will be brought in
to the campaign.
The official count will probably be
completed on Saturday afternoon and
it is thought that the final count of
the votes will make no changes in the
| results as announced, but it will be
impossible to call meeting Of the
county committee until after the COM
mittee men have been named by the
Board of Convassers. AS yet no can
didates have appeared for the office of
chairman Of the county committee, but
R. " Baker and D. J. Harm have been
mentioned for the place. Some of the
Republicans seem to think that the Of
fee Of chairman Of the committee
should not be vested in a candidate
for office and this may legislate against
the naming of Mr.. Baker.
AS soon as possible the Republican
county committee will open public
headquarters to be used as distribut-
ing center for Republican literature
and it is probable that room large
enough for meetings will be secured.
The vote at the primary seems to
indicate that the Republican party has
good chance to make things decidedly
interesting in the city and some of the
leaders Of the party believe that the
north wards will all be found in the
Republican column at the national cleo
ton.
