The above is the city ticket which
will be presented to the voters by the
Social Democratic party at the coming
city election and papers for the nomina-
ton of these men will be filed with the
City Clerk on next Friday. The petit
lions have all been signed and they are
being held pending the signing of the
petitions for the various ward candi-
dates Of the party. The ticket was Sc
lected by referendum vote which has
just been made public and at the same
time the various branches of the Social
Democratic party in the city voted for
the nomination Of ward officials in the
different wards of the city, It is stated
by the party leaders that the party will
have candidate for every office from
mayor to constable in the eighth ward
but the list of candidates for the ward
offices will not be made public until
after the petitions are filed with the
City Clerk the latter part of this week.
1t is stated that on the referendum vote
there were less than a hundred and for
ty votes cast and this seems to indicate
that the Social Democrats are losing
rather than gaining support in Keno
sha. The leaders Of the party however
declare that there is more enthusiasm
in the ranks of the party this year than
has been seen since the last presidential
election and that the vote Of the party
in the city election will amount to more
than four hundred votes. They insist
that there is good reason to believe that
Social Democratic aldermen will be
elected in several of the wards Of the
city and that the men on the city tic
ket will pull largely from the votes of
candidates Of both the old parties.
When the referendum vote was count
ed it was found that John Burns was
the choice of the larger majority of
the members Of the party as the candi-
date for mayor, but Mr.. Burns notified
the leaders Of the party that he would
prefer to remain worker in the ranks
of the party and Mr.. Tyson who was
the second man on the list was named
as the candidate for mayor
The nominee for mayor is widely
known among the Union men of the
city. He is a polisher and buffer by
trade and is employed at the plant
Of the Simmons Manufacturing Com
lpany. He has long been connected with
the affairs of the Social Democratic
party in Kenosha and is one Of the most
enthusiastic opponents of Socialism in
the city. He has been on both the city
and county Social Democratic tickets
in the past and has usually secured as
The other men named for city offices
are all well known to the working men
Of the city. All are property owners
and properly qualified for the offices
to which they aspire.
There will probably be an innovation
with the party this year in that the
nominees for Office will not be asked to
| file their designations with the central
committee. In Milwaukee the Social
Democratic party has done away with
the resignation idea and it is thought
that the branches in Kenosha will fol
low the lead of the larger city.
It is understood that the Social Demo
Gratis will have a speaking campaign be-
ginning the latter part of March and
that several orators Of Nationel repu-
tations will be brought to Kenosha to
speak for the city and ward tickets.
