milwaukee Men Are Already
Planning Campaigns in
These Counties
GAINESVILLE AS USUAL IS BUSY.
milwaukee Journal Declares That Sen
ator Bishop Will Probably be Re-
Elected as Senator but He Has Not
as Yet Announced His Candidacy.

A staff correspondent Of the MilWau-
kee Journal has visited the First Con-
sgressional District during the past
Iweek, and in his saunterings he hap
Epened to reach Kenosha and Racine
counties, and in giving his report of
the conditions in the two counties he
has declared that the campaign for
1.-THE election of a member Of Congress
as well as a state Senator for the two
counties is on. The Milwaukee man
declares that the fight for the Con
gressional nomination is to be be
tween Congressman Cooper and Attor-
Eney Wallace Ingalls, of Racine, with no
interference in the fight from other
parts of the District. 1t is claimed
that ingalls, is to make his fight for
the nomination on the stand that Con-
gresham Cooper took on some of the
tariff schedules. 1t is just possible that
Thomas w. Nolan, of GAINESVILLE, who
has twice been defeated for the nomi-
nation by Congressman Cooper will
try again, and his friends have al
ready been sending feelers out through
the District to see if there is any
chance for him to get in on the ground
floor this year These same men are
beginning to urge the nomination of
Malcolm Jeffries, Of Jonesville, as a
candidate for the United States Sen
ate, but it is known that this candi-
dacy is simply like that of Nolan-a
"feeler.
The term of State Senator Bishop
Will expire before the election and a
candidate to succeed him is to be nom
mated at the next general primary
election, but this will not come until
September of next year. The Cores
pendent for the Journal states that
Senator Bishop will probably be re
elected, but as yet the Senator him
self has not made any formal an
nouncement that he is even a candi-
date for the nomination to succeed
himself Bishop was unusually strong
in the rural districts, and it is said
that several of the men in Racine
county who have as strong hold with
the farmers have desires of going to
the state senate, and they may come
out. Racine has always insisted that
the nomination of a senator should
rotate between the two counties, and
if this rule is followed the next can
didate will be from that county.
Both of the counties will elect AS
semblymen next year, and it is certain
that Assemblyman ingalls, will not
seek denomination. In Kenosha coun-
ty Assemblyman Curtiss has served for
several terms and there is some feel
ing that the Eastern part of the coun-
ty if not the city should have a
chance of sending a man to the leg
islature. 1t has been many years since
the city of Kenosha sent Represen-
tative to Madison either for the Sen
ate or the Assembly, and some of the
local politicians believe that the time
has come for the city to name man
for the office. The varied interests of
Kenosha as manufacturing and com
mercial center make it exceedingly de-
sirable that the city have some one
at Madison to look after it's interests
as we'll as those of the rural districts
of the county. However, Assembly
man Curtiss has been strong candi-
date, and if seeks the nomination the
man who defeats him will. know that
he is running. 1t is expected that the
campaign will open with the opening
of the new year, and the state cam
paign will be opened during the state
fair next week, as at that time a half
dozen men seeking preferment in the
state viii come openly into the field
The coming of these candidates will
at once bring about lining up of the
forces in all the counties, and it is
expected that Kenosha county will fol
