LABOR CAUCUS
IS CALLED

At the labor council meeting
last night a caucus of delegates
was called for next Wednesday
night to consider the ticket select
ed by the Committee of Twelve.
Only four candidates remain on
the slate now, and one of these
will be vigorously fought by the
rank and file of organized labor
because he employs Jap labor.
Opinion is general among union
men today that the report of the
committee will be quietly laid on
the table. neither endorsed nor re-
pudiated. This will leave the
union candidate free from entan.
clements and remove the handicap
Of being tied up with other aspir.
ants.

PROHIBITION STATE TICKET
As Named by the Prohibition State
Convention at Dover, Thursday

As Named by the Prohibition State
Convention at Dover, Thursday
At the afternoon session of the
Prohibition State Convention of
Dover Thursday, the following nom
nations were made: For Represent
ative in Congress-Lewis W. Bro
sius, Wilmington; For State Treas
urer-H. B. Hitch of Sussex county
For Auditor of Accounts-Jeffe
B. Cooper, Cheswold, Kent county.
The new State Central Committee
selected was as follows: New Castle

Brosius, Joseph Derrickson, George
w. Todd. John H. Wardell; Kent
county-R. M. Cooper, L. M. Price,
John Heyd; Sussex county-H. B.
Hitch, Joseph Warren, John R.
Price. The following platform
was adopted: knowing that the
saloon question is a vital one and
paramount issue before the people
today; thankful for what has been
secured in the way of local prohibit
tion, but knowing the impossibility
of securing any satisfactory final
settlement of the question without
more comprehensive and stringent
laws and the election of officers
elected in this issue; realizing that
the great bulk of our people assent
to this and that the majority desire
to see it settled right; regretting
the reluctance of so many of our
good citizens to make a sacrifice OF
their political prejudices in order tc
unite to secure for our country s
good and perpetuity, the outlawine
of the licensed saloon; shamed BY
the spectacle of the two dominant
parties of this State, in recent con
ventions, practically ignoring it al
moral issue, while the reorts O.
both show it to have been the mos
potent factor in shaping their worl
and selecting their candidates fo

Another, half paint; it'll take
about 80 gallons of chat, $3.50 for

The least gallons paint, of course,

EARLY PIONEER HERE.
George Kellogg Came to
Pike Creek on Schooner
illinois" in 1886
INCIDENTS or EARLY DAYS

George j. Kellogg, one of the first of
the pioneer citizens of Kenosha, now
residing at Lake Mills isfhere with his
wife for a. short visit with Mrs. L.
Cook and other relatives Mr.. Kellogg
is now 80 years of age and this is the
first time that he has been in Kenosha
in nearly thirty years. He is son of
the late Austin kellogg and while born
in Fulton New York he came with his
parents to Kenosha in the early days
and landed at Pike River on Aug. 2nd
1885. The family came by the schooner
Illinois = under the command of Cap
tain Pickering and Mr.. Kellogg relates
interesting stories of the village There
were twenty-five children on board.
Austin Kellogg held the first prayer
meeting in Kenosha county in August of
1888. He built the first M. E. Church
in the city and was very active in the
early church history of the city and
county. He was a farmer along the Pike
River until he removed to Princeton in
1850.
George Kellogg his son was one of
the original Forty Miners and he crossed
the plains with an OK team in 1S4G and
remained in the West unit! 1882 when
he returned to KenoSha. Later he To-
Gated at James Tile where he conducted
a nursery until 1859 when he quit work
and removed to Lake Mills. Since that
time Mr.. Kellogg has become famous
as grower of Strawberries and he now
is raising more than eighty varieties of
the luscious berries. Mr.. Kellogg is on
his way to Oconomowoc to attend the
sessions of the State Horticultural So
ciety which opens on August 18th.
Mr.. kellogg is good representative of
the sturdy pioneers of the county and
notwithstanding the fact that he has.
past the four score mile post ne still
tells interesting stories of early life in
Kenosha. He is fully in charge of all
his faculties and declares he is without
an ache or pain and writes without
glasses.
