New Council To Be Elected Next
Month To Take Up Work of
Improving Market So.
BIDS CONSIDERED TOO HIGH
Council Decided to Place Fire Hydrant
For Artesian Water On Market
Square When Improve
ments Are Made

The new City Council to be elected
at the coming city election will have
charge of the letting of contracts for
the Improvement Of Market street and
for other paving now pending before
the council as the city council last night
without a word Of discussion voted to
reject all the bids recently received and
the street assessment committee was di-
rected to advertise for new bids for the
work These bids can not be received
in time to be acted on by the present
city council. The action was taken by
the sober Judgment Of the majority of
the aldermen on account Of the fact
that the contract price was above that
made in the estimate Of the city engi-
neer. At the former meeting there was
strong sentiment to get this matter
disposed of before the primary election
and at the time it was alleged that the
matter was being rushed in the inter
ests of some of the candidates for nomi-
nation. Last night the spirit in favor
of the contracts had all burned out and
it is thought that it was smothered
at the primary election for at any rate
all of the aldermen seemed to be will
ing to let the matter lay over. The Of
fcials of the city claim that they
will not delay the work by re-adver-
Using for bids as it is stated that there
will be plenty of time to get the new
bids before the work could be started
under proper circumstances. There are
several problems to be solved in con-
nection with the work Of improving the
square and it will take some time to
get these out of the way so as to let the
contracts.
The Council took steps to get the
artesian water into use in Kenosha
again and it was decided that when the
improvement of Market Square is com
pleted hydrant will be placed on the
square for the use Of all Of the people
of the city. This will be an open Hy-
drant Of some sort possibly an ornamen-
tai one and if the people of the city
show a desire to use the water it is
probable that hydrants of a similar
character will be opened in other parts
Of the city.
There was little other business to
come before the council and it was one
of the tamest meetings held during the
present year.

Remember, gentlemen, that this is
hardly party campaign. It goes
away beyond that for ordinarily with
good men on both tickets it makes little
difference to the city which party wins
out at the election. This campaign is
different matter. It is campaign to
save the reputation Of the city. There
are no three ways about that. Either
we must hand over this city to the
brewery interests and confess that the
men who pay taxes have not the power
to select the man who is to head the
ADMINISTRATION that expends them or de-
feat Mr.. Scholey the agent Of the
brewery interests.

SEEK INFORMATION
Kenosha Officials Have Asked Attorney
For Opinion as to Challenged Ballots


The officials of Kenosha have sent
letter to Attorney General Frank l..
Gilbert Of Madison asking that he give
an opinion as to the manner in which
challenged votes may be distinguished
when voted on voting machine. The
attorney general has not as yet render
ed an opinion. 1t is thought possible
that there will be a large number of
challenged ballots at the coming city
election and the problem of keeping
track Of them is proving very knotty
one for the city officials It is posi-
bic that the attorney will hold that
these ballots will have to be taken in
some manner SO that it will be possible
to tell just how the challenged voters
have voted II they insist on voting af-
ter being challenged.

The nomination of Mr.. Scholey is an
open def to the wave Of public senti-
ment against the power of the saloon
and brewery interests in politics and
government that is sweeping over the
country. We admit that it looks like
perfectly safe thing to do in Kenosha
just at present but things may change
here in moment just as they have in
other places. When they do the inter
ests that are backing Scholey may wish
that they had not been SO forward in
defiance of feeling that is recognized
everywhere else as a serious menace to
their business. This movement to curb
the power of the saloon in politics is
not the dream of a reformer but comes
from the kind of people who know
what they want and generally get what
they go after in earnest. This move
ment is gaining power in this city every
day and it may yet sweep the city and
carry all before it.

An examination Of the returns of the
primary shows that the fears Of the
politicians that the vote on the minor
candidates en- the tickets would fall of,
tremendously at the election if there
were no straight tickets were well
founded. With law requiring a sepa-
rate vote on each candidate in a NUM-
cipal election in force the minor candi-
dates would fall away below the lead
ers Of their parties but they would have
the satisfaction Of knowing that they
were elected by the more intelligent
voters.

After the railroad commission gets
through with the telephone people it
may take up the Investigation of the
gas and electric business and give some
time to the complaint from this city.
The commission has a tremendous
amount of work on its hands and great
mass of special information to disgest
and it is no use trying to hurry the
commission so that Kenosha people who
are anxious for the investigation of the
local company may as well make up
their minds to take things easy. The
investigation will come when the com
mission is ready and not before and
it is not likely that anything anybody
can say or going to hurry matters
much.

The disgrace of nominating Mr.. Scho->
ley rests on the democratic party, but
the disgrace of electing him if such a
calamity should occur will rest upon
the whole city. There is no lodging
the issue. Every man in the city who
understands English knows just what he
stands for and just what he represents
and his election will mean that the ma
jority Of our people are content to be
ruled by him and his kind. There is no
getting around that and we have come
now to the parting of the ways. Eth
er we must advertise to the world at
large that this city is absolutely in the
power Of the very lowest element of it's
population or defeat Mr.. Scholey. This
is no reform campaign either. It is
simply a campaign for the preservation
Of the reputation and standing Of this
city and nothing else and the result of
the campaign will have an incalculable
effect on the future growth and pros
perity of the city. The election of
scholey would give the city setback
that it would take years to recover
from. The situation is just this. When
things reach the state in any city when
the tax paying and property owning
class is not represented in the head of
the administration and has no voice in
his selection it is poor place to own
anything and that is about what we are
coming to in Kenosha. Outsiders and
investors will be quick to recognize
what the ascendency of Scholey and
what he stands for means and will fight
shy of this city.
