Publication Of the Kenosha
Daily journal Soon
WILL HAVE A MODERN PLANT
No Formal Announcement is Made of
Policy Of the New Paper but it
is Expected to Appear Dur
ing Present Month


kilograms sent from Elgin, Ill, de-
clare that Kenosha is to have a new
daily paper within the next few weeks
under the management Of w. L. Odette,
formerly managing editor of one of
the Elgin papers and the story is back
ed up by the fact that on Thursday
mechanic came to Kenosha to set up
the machinery Of the plant. The only
information that can be CLEANED in re-
gard to the new paper comes from Ell
gin and the Kenosha end of the mat
ter has evidently been kept com
plete secret. No one in Kenosha seems
to know anything about the proposed
location Of the new paper or who is
to be behind it or furnish the money
for its publication. w. L.. Odette, who
is slated to be the publisher and editor
Of the paper, has been in Kenosha on
several occasions and it is understood
that he sought to interest several poll
ticians of local fame in the publication
Of the new paper. He for time con-
sidered the purchase of the Kenosha
Union, the weekly paper formerly pub
lished by John A. KiIleen, but this deal
fell through and the Union went out
of existence several weeks ago. 1t is
understood that the Elgin men decided
that he would prefer to start publica-
lion from the ground up rather than
take over any publication which was
on its last legs.
The Elgin man is an experienced
newspaper man and he is we'll acquaint-
cd with the field in Kenosha. He has
had considerable investigation made in
to conditions in Kenosha and seems to
be of the opinion that the time is ripe
FOR the starting of newspaper. So
much secrecy has been maintained in
regard to che plans for the new paper
that its politics has not been divulged.
Ie&s Thought, however, that the paper
win come more or less into the sup
port Of the present city administration.
It is Known that The men now in charge
of thelafairs of the city have repeated
ly sought to secure paper which
would urge their claims for official pre-
ferment and it is possible that this
will be the policy of Che new paper.
The mechanic who came to Kenosha
on Thursday 60 set mp the new plant
stated that it tvasEhe intention of the
publishes bf the paper to have the first
edition issued on July 2sth.
1t was learned OH Friday that the
paper is to be called EfThe Kenosha
Daily Journals and that Che offices
of the publication will be in the
Meyers building on Park street. The
new paper will have modern plant
and It's equipment win include a type
setting machine and a Cox Duplex
plant. The machinery has been shipped
to. Kenosha and it is expected that it
will reach here by next Monday.
1t is said that y. Armbruster, who
had been employed in the same Office
as Mr.. odette at Elgin, will be placed
in charge of the mechanical depart
ment of the new paper.
There is no doubt but that Kenosha
is large enough to support two papers
and the new paper and it's editors will
be assured hearty welcome from the
newspaper men now working in Keno.
sha. 1t is expected that more de-
tailed plans of the new publication
will be made within the next two or
three days, but as yet the plant has
not been received in Kenosha.
