CONTRACT PRICE THE SAME
Racinc Contractor Offers Solution of
The Paving Middle on Elizabeth
Street to Please Protesting Property
Owners.

The main prop supporting the OBJ
jections to the letting of the contract
for the paving of Elizabeth street to
John @. Jones the Racine contractor
who was the lowest bidder for the job
was pulled out on Thursday afternoon
when Mr.. Jones came to Kenosha and
declared to "a number of the aldermen
that if the people of Elizabeth street
want that thoroughfare paved with
burlington brick he would be perfect
ly willing to put in THESE brick at the
same price as he had named in his
bid for paving the street with Barr
brick, This was the point raised by a
number of property owners who sent
a petition to the council at its last
meeting, asking that the contract be
let to the lowest "Kenosha" bidder
on burlington brick. Under the orig
inal bids Mr.. Jones did not bid on
burlington brick but a bid on this
make of brick was sent in by Christ.
Petersen, the local contractor and GER
tain aldermen who had opposed the
letting of the contract to the Racine
contractor had seen in this fact a
chance to switch the contract to Pet
ersen, In speaking Of the matter Mr..
Jones said;
"The reason I did not put in a bid
on burlington brick was the fact that
the Kenosha council has not been us
ing these brick. However the Purring-
ton brick can be put in at the very
same rates as the Barr brick and if
the people on Elizabeth street want
these brick / will agree to put them
in at the same price that / have named
for Barr brick. The city Of Kenosha
never has shown any great willingness
to use the burlington block brick how
ever and am advised that many peo-
Pile on the street are favorable to the
Barr brick. / would like very much
to have the council act on the paving
bids for if ] am to do the work I want
to get the contracts let for material
that there may be no delay in COM
plotting the job"
The Elizabeth street property own
ers promise to turn out in force for
the meeting on Monday night when it
is expected that the proposition of
the paving of the street will be taken
up and disposed of. Mayor Scholey
announced to the property owners at
the last meeting of the council that
the Street Assessment Committee
would have a report ready at that
time and it is expected that the com
mlttee will make good. 1t is certain
that a large majority of the property
owners are favorable to the work be.
ing let to the lowest bidder and the
street be paved with Barr brick. Some
OF the property owners are making
strenuous objections of the fact that
one of the members of the council
not property owner or a representa-
tive of the ward has aided contractor
Petersen in the circulation of petit
tion to give the contract to the low
est Kenosha bidder on burlington
brick.

This is the last week for the sale
of the Red Cross holiday seals and
Judging from the reports coming in
from other cities all over the state
there will have to be some tall hust-
hing done if Kenosha is to hold its
position near the top of the list on per
capita sales. The prizes offered the
school children will stimulate the in
terest in the contests now going on un-
der the direction of the Anti-tubercu-
losis association and it is probable
that most of the people of the city will
be solicited to buy seals before the
week Is out, but after all, the main
reliance of the association in swelling
the totals of sales to respectable fig
ure will be on the people who pur-
chase the seals as a matter of course
and because they are familiar with the
work that is being done with the mon
ey raised by the sale of the seals and
want to help it along.

FIGHT COST $114,219
Wisconsin Taft Republicans
File Statements of Cam
paign Expenses
FAIRCH|LD WORKED ON SALARY

An interesting sequel of the famous
Taft republican convention held in
Milwaukee last June developed Thurs
day when it was discovered that doe
ument styled Disbursements of the
treasurer of the republican state cam
paign committee" had been filed with
Register of Deed Markle at Fond du
Lac ten days ago, instead of with the
secretary of state at Madison.
The statement shows that the COM
mittee, of which w. D. Conner, the
wealthy Marshfeld lumberman, was
chairman, expended the sum of $114,-
219.59 during the primary election
campaign, the chief purpose of which
was to obtain the nomination of E. T.
Fairchild for governor, Levi III. Ban
croft for attorney general, and the
nomination of candidates for the SEN
ate and assembly who would vote
against La Toilette in the legislature.
The statement is itemized with 4,
343 checks listed, but one of the most
Interesting as well as unusual items is
collection of vouchers paid Fairchild
showing that he drew $3.50 a week dur
ing the six weeks of the active cam
paign, besides an item of 800 on June
% for "ield expense money"
Another interesting feature of the
statement is that it is signed by J. A.
Hogan of Fond du Lac, as treasurer,
but is sworn to in the presence of w.
w. McCullock, Wood county notary,
on Dec. 8. Just why the statement
was fled in Fond du Lac rather than
at Madison with the secretary is not
known.
The itemized statement is as follows:

series OF important appearances
throughout the state during the prima-
ry campaign, not as candidate for
office, not in the interest OF any can
didate. nor yet positively Of his own
choosing. for he is being invited to
make these addresses and the invita-
tions are coming thick and fast from
Democratic committees and clubs.
"The administration needs no de-
fense,v said the governor. He is on
the stump in behalf Of the party and
has been put forward in the primary
campaign in a way that will make him,
his position and his views an issue.
This means that L. P. Ross. on a plat
form that IS anti-Haskell from first
to last, will have powerful opposition
in the governor himself.
The fact that w. H. Murray, whose
position is well known on the sale of
the coal lands, has sought to avoid that
as anissue makes the stand Of Robert
son today significant and brings that
issue strongly before the people.
The impression generally has gone
abroad that Governor Haskell picked
Judge Robertson as his successor. The
truth or falsity Of the impression has
never been successfully anaIyzed
Hence it is significant that the gov
