ardy Named as Chief Deputy
United States Marshal
TO RETIRE FROM POST OFFICE
Will Assume the Duties of His New
Office the First of April-La-
Toilette True to His Politi-
cal Friends and Aids
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

Charles B. Rainardy, assistant post
master Of Kenosha has been appointed
to the Office Of chief deputy United
States Marshal for the eastern district
of Wisconsin and he will begin the
duties Of his new office on the first of
April Mr.. Reinardy received notice
Of his appointment this morning and it
came as complete surprise to him.
He will, however, at once begin to make
arrangements to accept the Office and
his acceptance will make it necessary
for him to retire as assistant postmaster
Of the city. He has not as yet resigned
this office, but he stated this morning
that his resignation would be sent to
the postmaster in order to give him
plenty of time IN which to name new
assistant for the office.
The position to which Mr. Reinardy
has been appointed is one eagerly
sought by men in politics. It carries
a salary Of $500 year and expenses
and it is also an office to which gener
Gus fees are attached. The appoint
ment Of Mr.. Reirardy is said to have
been recommended by Senator LaFol
lette. The two men have been close
personal friends for many years and it
was understood that Senator LaFollette
would see to it that Mr.. Reinardy re-
ceiyed position worthy of notice. The
appointmeht-of Reinardy to the posi-
ton will come as great surprise to
his political friends in Kenosha as few
Of them had known that he even aspir-
ed to che Office.
Assistant Postmaster Reinardsf has
been in state and local politics for the
past ten years and he has been con-
sidered a leader among the Republicans
who have followed the political destines
Of Senator LaFollette He. served as
a member of the Board Of County Su-
pervisors, was for several years deputy
game warden of the state and he gave
up this Office to accept the position Of
assistant postmaster when John B. Ma
loney was named as the head Of the
local post Office.
The work of the Office will demand
that Mr.. Reinardy spend much time in
Milwaukee, but he will continue to be
resident of Kenosha. Dr. We'll is the
present United States Marshal of the
district and he and his chief deputy are
old political friends.
AS soon as Postmaster Maloney had
been Informed of the coming resigna-
ton of his assistant he at once named
Michael r. lens as assistant postmaster
and Mr.. Zens will take his office on
/ the first of April with the retirement
! Of Mr.. Relnardy. Mr.. Zens is well
known in the city He is the son of
the late Albert Zens who for years was
a leader aluong the Germans Of Kenosha
Mr. Zens has been connected with the
printing industry in Aenosha since boy
hood and is now the proprietor of a job
printing establishment He is the secre-
/ tary Of the Kenosha LaFollette Club and
has been active in political work in the
city for the past two or three years.
The appointment of Mr.. Zens will
give general satisfaction and Postmas-
ter Maloney's action in making the APP
pointment at once will undoubtedly
save him lot of trouble from candi-
dates for the Office. The position car
ries salary of $500 a year.
