Candidates for County Judge,
County Supt. and Other Off,
ces Begin to Get Busy
HOT CAMPAIGN is PROMISED
Candidates for Various Offices Are AL
ready Seeking Support From the
Voters-State Superintendent
Fight to be Vigorous

Now that the smoke of battle Of the
general election has cleared away Ke-
nosha people are beginning to get ready
for the spring election in April and
this will be a most interesting one.
There will Of course be the usual cleo
ton Of a justice Of the peace to sue
ceed Edward Donahue and members Of
the Council. Board Of Education, Board
Of County Supervisors and constables,
but of greater interest will be the gen
eral election of a member of the Su-
preme Court bench and state superin-
tendent of public instruction. There will
also be elected in the county a county
judge and a county superintendent
The greatest interest will undoubted-
ly be taken in the selection Of a county
judge and county superintendent. AS
yet there are no out and out candidates
in the field for either position, but it
is generally understood that Judge Rus
sell I'll. Slosson and John j. KerWin,
the present officials of the county will
seek reelection TO the Offices which they
hold. Neither of these men has made
any formal announcement of his can
didacy and both seem to think that it
is a little early to start the ball rolling
Both of these campaigns will be Of the
non-partisan order as, years ago the Gus
tom of naming non-partisan judges and
school officials was adopted in this
county.
The people of the city will not vote
on the election Of the county superin-
tendent as this Office is one in which
the city has no interest. The Office is
entirely sustained by taxes levied on
the property of the various towns, but
Notwithstanding this fact the city can
didates are not barred from the race
Several candidates have been mentioned
for the office, among others Conrad
Shearer and E. E. Better.
A number of men have been men
toned for the Office of county judge,
among the number being George w.
Taylor, Henry Hastings and John G.
Slater. Mr.. Slater was candidate
dS1luSG IuuS0 D1OSSOu d. uuLuD6I OL
years ago.
The voters of the county have not in
the past shown q tendency to change
judges and for this reason it is thought
that if Judge Slosson comes out for re-
election the opposition will be very
limited
There is no election Of judge of the
Circuit Court this year.
Candidates for the Office of state SUI
perintendent promise to be very numer-
GUS and already quite a number Of the
aspiring ones have sent letters to this
county urging their candidacy. c. P.
Cary will be candidate for election
but he is to meet with bitter opposition
in some portions Of the state. Prof.
w. G. Hewitt, president of Oshkosh
Normal has announced his candidacy
and q call has been sent out asking
that Prof L. w. Wood, one Of the best
known educators in the state, be a can
didate for the office. The office pays
a salary of $4,000 year and it is GER
tain that there will be a great scramble
for the nomination at the spring pri-
maries.

ONE THING HUGHES DID.

New York City and State are ready to
rise up and call Gov. Hughes blessed for
the one amazing triumph of the Public
Service Law he conceived and hammered
through the Legislature. 1t is one of
the greatest successes Of the times, and
its record for the first six months OF
operation beats anything known in the
line OF popular relief. Four other States
have devised and passed similar statutes
and before the year is out the State
without such law will be noted ex-
ception.
The law was carefully drafted to
remedy all manner of abuses and de-
fects in every conceivable line OF public
service, including steam and electric
railways, lighting plants, hotels. ferries;
anything and everything that deals
with the public. either with private OIL
corporate capital; and its power reaches
from the organization and capital dowr
to the last detail of service; it cures
not only the injustices and deficieneie;
attributable to the service concern OF
corporation, but checks all public mis-
use and invasion of the service itself;
it serves all concerned. fairly and rigor.
ously and in six months of its operation
has done more to purge that City and
State of formidable imposition than was
ever accomplished before. OF, course. it
was needed there, on account of the i'm
mense congestion of humanity and th'
widespread reliance upon the utilities
furnished by these people and concerns;
but even in States and cities OF fal
lesser population, such law would bt
invaluable as a deterrent force, ant
foster system of honest service before
it had opportunity to become vicious
or inefficient.
It is counted as one of the keenes
manifestations of the Governors charac
teristic determination to control ans
eliminate the crying abuses to which tn
people of New York have so long beel
subjected, and it is used nightly b.
his friends, AND his enemies, for AM
against, his nomination as President
But, aside from all such influences, tn
law is admittedly sound and service
able and doing tremendous lot of work
and for this reason is worthy of earl.
