ward. Mr.. Scholey in his first cam
paign showed himself to be effective as
! a campaigner and he showed the first
real example of the effectiveness OF the
ilise of foreign votes. Since that fixae
ne has dominated the Democratic poss--
ties of the Fifth ward and has been
more or less of power in some sarelex
IN kenosha. However. in the years 9kat
he has been connected with politics he
has not brought to his influential aid

of Kenosha. The most vicious al the
city are found today fighting undex the
banner of Mr.. Scholey and it is claimed
for him that some of the men whe had
long police records who worked Taosk
studiously for him at the polls on Tues
day, have been sent out of the civ for
fear that the crudeness of their work
may lay them and their employer liable
to prosecution.
AS to the Council record Of Mr. Seho-
ley it would be best to say as litfss as
possible. His record is record that
could be duplicated by any man picked
up on the street and placed in the!
Council It must be remembered
the name of Scholey was connected
with the revelations of corruption IL
the Council made by John Caster In his,
story of the passage of the Haynes
Claussen Railway ordinance and thaS the
story Of Caster has never been refuEed
1t is true that Scholey has never heeu.
convicted of crookedness as an of5efag
and it is just as true that Caster took
upon himself the guilt of the whole gang
and paid his fine and secured As re
lease.
The reputation of Mr. ScholeY ear
not appeal to the better element OF
voters. Nor is this all. Mr. Seh6Ier
has brought to Kenosha a new sozr Of
a saloon. In his greed for business he
has been instrumental in the OPENING
of many saloons which have been dis
grace to the city. | myself am AZ
times a drinking man, but [ have never
been in one of the Scholey Saloons ~
the outlying districts of the city that r
have not been disguised with the maE
who would make their existence rossi-
bic. Much of the complaint made by
the good people of the city against the
conduct of the saloon business has been
on account of these saloons. Police
records show that they are breeding
places for crime and that they are grar-
ing one of the most dangerous dereIog-
ments in Kenosha However tbese Sc
called Cheer dumps" have been prsffa-
bic to the brewery and by their aid Mr.
Scholey has made lots of money. It il
now claimed that Scholey sells m0rs
beer than any brewery agent in tine
city and most of it is handed ouE
through these places into which many
a decent saloon man would refuse ta
even put his foot
just want to say to the Independents
voters who feel no party lash that these
are the public records of the tive meg
and between them there can be buk one
choice and that is to vote and work
for the election of Mr.. Alleman.
If this has over-stepped the space
usually allowed for such communTea~
tions, I hope that you will allow the
gravity of the situation to be my ex-
cuse.
