SEE CHANCE OF NORMAL VOTE
Effort Will be Made to Organize Every
Town in the County and Vigorous
Fight Will be Made to Get Out the
Vote.

The Republican candidates and mem
bers of the county committee held their
first meeting of the campaign at the
court house on Thursday evening and
arrangements were made for prosecut-
ing vigorous campaign in all parts
OF the county from now until election
day. There is just one month more be-
fore election and the candidates will
all start personal work throughout the
county and every voting precinct will
be thoroughly organized. Reports were
received from various parts Of the
county and while these reports indicat-
ed that the Democratic candidates were
hard at work there were no "beare
stories to cause any uneasiness in the
minds of the candidates and conditions
are regarded as about normal in an off
campaign The reports of the various
members of the committee and of the
candidates indicate that the Democrats
buoyed by hope of success are making
more systematic campaign this year
than in many years and the Republicans
decided to meet the campaign by organ
ization. Men were selected to aid the
county committee in effecting an or
ganization for the party in every ward
in the city and every town in the county
and it is expected that these men will
begin their work at once. No provision
was made for the opening of county
headquarters and the work for the
present will be done through the Office
of District Attorney Baker. Stenogra-
piers will be employed and the party
leaders will seek to send personal let
tiers to the voters urging them to get
out and vote on election day and work
for the success of the ticket between
now and election day. There is no
doubt but that the Republicans of the
county are better united than in any
campaign in the past ten years and out
Of this union it is certain that results
will come.
The state committee is keeping in
close touch with the county committee
and just as soon as the campaign gets
into full swing speakers will be sent
out from the state bureau to speak in
the various villages and cities in the
county. 1t is certain that Kenosha
county will get some of the best Re-
publican speakers of the campaign.
"What we want is an organization to
get out the vote,O was the declaration
of one of the candidates after the meet
ing. eve feel convinced that if the
vote comes out the Republican ticket
will be elected by a good safe major
ity. However, there is a feeling that
a small vote will be cast this year and
this is the only unfavorable symptom
seen in the campaign.
"There is feeling that Kenosha is a
Republican county and this feeling is
the most dangerous sentiment that we
have, to meet in the campaign. IF the
voters are advised that the result may
be close we feel that they will get out
and give a royal support to the party
and its nominees. For this reason we
are seeking men in every election pre-
cinct who will make it business to
get the voters out
A good sized campaign fund has al
ready been raised among the candi-
dates and this will be used almost en-
tirely to take care of workers at the
poles and to the sending out of Re-
publican campaign matter.
