Democratic Presidential Candi-
date May Speak Here First
Part of Next Month
CANDIDATES IN ROUNDUP
Bitter Fight for Nominations in County
Started This Morning and Closing
Days of Campaign May
be Interesting

A little real interest is to be instilleu
into the political campaign in Kenosh..
county by the second appearance fol
ne year of the Peerless Orator Of
ne Pate, who is now for the third
time candidate for president and I'LL
Tess plans that have been made ar,
changed Kenosha Democrats will have
9 chance to listen to William Jennings
Bryan early in September. Bryan will
speak in Chicago on Labor Day and he
is planning to make short run into
Wisconsin either directly before or dl-
rectly after this meeting. He is to
spend one night in Milwaukee and II
IS his plan to touch as many Of the
other cities as possible enroute to Mil
waukee. No arrangements have been
made for his reception and the intiner-
ary Of the journey is to be left
in the hands Of State Chairman
II. H. Manson of Wausau. Bryan
will probably leave Chicago late in
the afternoon and he will not leave
the train until after ne reaches
Milwaukee, but it is the plan of the
state committee to have him make a
few speeches from the platform Of the
tain and the plan is to have these
speeches at Kenosha, Racine and South
Milwaukee.
1t is pretty certain that the appear
ance of Bryan would stir up more in
terest than anything else and for this
reason the local Democracy are anxious
to have him see Kenosha if it is only
for platform speech from the train.
The primary election takes place two
weeks from tomorrow and it is expect
ed that the closing days of the fight
will see more politics than has been
seen in Kenosha in many years. It is
possible that the state senatorial fight
will be brought to Kenosha by the
appearance of Isaac Stephenson who
started this morning to make round
Of the entire state. S. A. Cook, the
Ncenah candidate is also making a SINH
lar trip about the state
The county candidates this morning
began the final lap in the campaign and
the county is being covered with post
ers urging the support Of the various
candidates. The Republican candidates
for sheriff are all in the field and they
promise to remain there until after the
primary votes are counted. There
seems to be a great break up in sight
IN the rangs of the Ultra progressives
and it IS possible that lot Of hard
feeling will be engendered before the
primary campaign, is over. Michael
Kleist, the deputy game warden who
has been one Of the strongest support
ers of this faction, claims that ne is not
getting any support from some Of the
leaders of the ultras and what is more
to the point that they are knocking
him wherever they can. Kleist claims
to have lot Of interesting information
and he threatens to let go Of it if the
| fight on him is continued. Kleist claims
to have the support and best wishes Of
the state game warden in his fight and
he insists that he has not in any way
been called on the carpet for entering
the race for sheriff. In a letter State
Game Warden Stone extends to Kleist
a long leave of absence and extends as
well his best wishes for success in the
primary campaign.
There has been no withdrawal Of any
candidates from the race and it is prob
able that all candidates will remain to
the bitter end. In the Democratic
ranks it looks as if the real fight was
on between B. M. Schilz and Emmett
Shields, but Schliz seems to have the
best Of the race so far. There is no
denying the lact that Schilz is being
promised lot of support on account of
the run he made two years ago and the
fact that he came near being a sheriff
seems to have given the people of the
county reason to believe that he should
have another try at ii.
