WILL PRESENT UNITED FRONT
Committee Lays Plans to Have Candi-
dates in the Field in Every Ward
and City Conference May be Called
Within a Short Time

The active work Of the municipal
campaign of 1910 was started by the
Republican city committee on Friday
evening when an enthusiastic meeting
was held at the offices of John Will
liams county surveyor and several
hours were spent in going over the
preliminary plans of the campaign.
Plans were made for vigorous cam
paign and the committee will meet
again on next Thursday evening and
at that time it is probable that some
definite action will be taken in re-
gard to the calling of a conference of
all the Republicans of the city with a
view of getting their wishes in regard
to candidates and the general conduct
of the campaign. Harry S. Brown
was elected as q member of the com
mittee from the First ward and with
his election the ranks of the commit
tee are closed up and every ward in
the city is represented.
There was an informal discussion of
candidates for the office of mayor and
for other Offices, but the committee
decided that it would keep its hands
off in the matter of suggestion of can
didates and leave this matter entire
ly to the rank and file of the party.
However, the members of the commit
tee in the various wards will propose
candidates for nomination to the COM
mittee in order that the committee will
have material to work on if the tickets
are not filed up by the close of the
time for filing petitions.
The members of the committee will
also be ready to aid any candidates
in the circulation of petitions in the
different parts of the city and it will
seek to take up all the routine work
of the party.
In the informal discussion of can
didates for. mayor the names of Frank
A. Marx, John M. KehIor, Charles H.
Pfennig, John Hegeman, Charles H.
Gonnermann and several others were
mentioned and it was stated that it
was probable that petitions would be
taken out for Frank A. Marx before
the next meeting of the committee.
Charles H. Ernest and James H.
Charles were both mentioned for the
Office of city clerk and the members
of the committee seemed to think that
R. E. Sutherland who came within a
few votes of being elected assessor
last year should make the run again
this year.
Considerable time was spent in dis
cussion of a plan for a conference of
the members of the party and it is
pretty certain that this plan will be
carried out but no final plans for such
conference will be made until after
the adjourned meeting of the commit
tee on next Thursday evening and in
the meantime the members from the
various wards will test the feeling of
their wards as to the holding of such
a conference, The committee will in
sist that the meeting of it is held be
of a general nature and that no candi-
dates be selected
The reports of the members of the
committee were encouraging and they
showed that in all the wards of the
city the people are dissatisfied with
the present administration The mem
bers of the committee see a chance for
a big Republican victory in Kenosha
this year and to this end every posi-
BILE effort win be made to present an
organized front to the opposition.
