kenosha Women Have Right To
Vote for State Superintendent
and School Commissioners
TAKE INTEREST IN ELECTION
Graduates OF Normal Schools of State
AcJively Working for the Success
of Their Former Teachers
in State Fight

Every woman in Kenosha will have
a chance to vote at the coming spring
election and what is more it is expected
that many Of them will grasp this OPP
portunity to enter the suffrage class
The women of Kenosha have for years
had the chance of voting for school
commissioners and in many of the
wards almost as many votes have been
cast by women as by men, but this
year they will be permitted to exercise
the right Of suffrage in voting for a
state official. The election of state
superintendent under the Wisconsin
law brings this chance for the women
of the city to show their desire for
suffrage. The fight in Kenosha will
probably be an interesting one. The
candidates for state superintendent are
all men who have been closely connect
ed with the educational work of the
Normals of the state and there are more
than hundred Normal graduates
among the women Of Kenosha. Some
Of them are engaged as school teachers
and these women are taking most
active interest in the election. Letters
have been sent to the women by all of
the four candidates for the Office and
it is expected that throughout the state
the vote Of the women on this office will
be decidedly large. The question Of
voting was recently discussed at a
% ho 81 Gl,,I>
and the discussion was so spirited that
it is evident that the women of Keno
sha are taking an active interest in
the coming election.
The women to vote must show a
proper legal interest in the election
and to do this it will be necessary for
them to go to the polls and register.
There is no registration in Kenosha this
year so that the only way that the
women can register is to appear on
primary day and insist that their names
be placed ON the roll of legal voters in
the various wards. Should they fail
to register they must swear in their
vote on election day.
Special ballots must be prepared by
the city and county for the use of the
women in voting for the office of state
superintendent. The voting machines
will be arranged so that they can be set
for the women voters and they will be
able to pull the levers just as the mem
bers Of the sterner sex.
The women Of the state will probably
control the election Of the state super
intendent this year and the candidates
for the office seem to be of the opinion
that at least twenty thousand women
will vote in Wisconsin this spring. The
woman vote is expected to be especial
ly strong in the cities where the various
state Normal schools are located. In
Kenosha the women voters would be
able to control the election of members
of the Board of Education, but in other
years they have not shown a willing
ness to WELD this power and their
votes have been few and far between.
However, in several Of the wards the
women have been properly educated
along this line and there is at present
more than one member Of the School
Board who owes his election to his lady
friends.

"How we'll this is done need not be

again proves that clean plays are

New Castle, Ind, Feb. s.-The close
Of the first week in the campaign for

forces jubilant as to the early compile

signatures have been obtained in the
few days that the campaign has been

Refuse Voting Machines.
Through the refusal of the County
Council to purchase the voting ma
chimes used at the last election, it will
be necessary to rearrange the voting
precincts of the county before the To-
cal option election is held. Voting
machines were used in this city,
knightstown and MiddletOwn last No
vember and through their use the cleo
ton precincts in Henry, Wayne and
Fall Creek Townships were changed
in order to decrease the number. The
County Council declined to purchase
the machines and they were shipped
to Des Moines. Ia, which has pur-
chased a number of them. The local
option election will be held under the
Australian system and for this reason
more precincts are necessary, and the
old lines will be established as they
existed previous to the change to &C
commodate the voting machines. The
temperance people have brought the
matter to the attention of the COM
missioners, who. it is expected, will
take immediate action and have the
change ready in time SO as not to
interfere with the election in any way.

IS RENEWED INTEREST IN PROPOSED
ELECTRIC |NTERURBAN LINE TO LAUREL
when The BIG
BALLOON FLIES
Prof. Swartz's Ascension In Hatties-
burg Promises To Be Great Spec
tacular Feature of Celebration.

OF all the devices which amuse and
interest the public there is nothing
that retains the public favor more
than a balloon ascension. There is
daring and thrilling about balloon as
cension and parachute leap that peo-
pie go year after year to see such at
fractions, and as this is the first one
for Hattiesburg it is safe to say that
it will be witnessed by thousands wl.o
never saw one before.
The areonaut who will make the
ascension on the occasion of the big
Prosperity Celebration is one of the
most successful in the country, having
had number of years of experience,
and it was for this reason that the
committee secured his services, thorgh
it was necessary to pay more than
some other areonauts charge for such
services. The balloon he will use is
new SO feet in diameter and stands
70 feet high when it is ready to go
1t will, if properly inflated, go about
half mile high, which is as high As
is practicable to go and give the
crowd a good view of the ascent. The
initiation of the balloon is always 81
interest, and on this occasion there
will be a call for a big crowd of vol
unteers to hold the bag until it |:
properly inflated.

Prof. SWartz's Ascension.

Professor Charles Swartz, who has
been engaged for this occasion lives
at HUMBOLDT, Tenn, and has had va
ried experience in making his descent
to earth. He says that he has been
hurt many times, dropped into lakes
and rivers and even into the gulf Of
Mexico, landed in tree tops and house
tops, brier patches and thistle thick
cts, had his outfit torn up and lost for
awhile, but his worst injury has been
sprained ankles, all of which have
added to the joys of the balloon mans
life.
1t is planned to start the initiation in
time so that it will come off promptly
at four o'clock as the wind about
that time of the day is always the
most favorable for successful balloon
ascensions.
