England is in the throes Of political

England is in the throes of political
revolution and in many other countries
there is a revolt among the people. The
political somersault in this country last
month is in line with the general ten
dency. Democrats, Of course, take it
for granted that it was great Demo-
cratic victory. In a general sense that
is undoubtedly true, but as far as the
party is concerned there is no signifi-
canoe in it whatever, and the Democrat
who is grooming himself for Office and
pie upon that theory might as well or
better spend his time at something use
full. The burning issue is the regener-
alton OF politics, and makes no differ
ence who is the offender, whether Dem
ocrat or Republican, he must stand
aside. The people are demanding fair
deal and they are going to have it. It
is a worldwide movement. Night as
well accept the situation good-humor-
eddy, as did Senator Hale, of Maine,
when he congratulated his successor in
the Senate, stating that the choice Of
the people was his choice and he would
take the GREATEST pleasure in introduce
ing the new Senator to his colleagues.

House Burned.

On Wednesday about midnight Dir.
Loring's residence on Court Square
north of the courthouse caught fire.
The alarm was turned in and the fire
company made good time in reaching
the building. They soon had the hose
ready and went to work like fire laddies.
1t was good job. 1t would have been
quick work in broad daylight to save
the entire lower portion of the building
or the best part of it, The upstairs
portion of the residence was complete
loss, and some of the contents. DIR.
Loring had the house insured for 50, 900
and the furniture, piano, ETC., for $3.50.
The house was practically new one.
1t was remodeled, enlarged and inn
proved last summer, and was one of the
incest homes in the city. We trust the
Doctor will soon have his insurance adj
iusted and the house rebuilt.

majority over Taylor and McCallen, 10,-

returns were not very far wrong. A

NO REGISTRATION THIS SPRING
Mayor Manages to Garry His Point
Against New Nose Counting Among
Voters Repaving Comes High for
the City

The city council held short and
entirely interesting session at the city
hall on Monday evening and there was
just enough doing to keep things NOV
| ing with the velocity of an ordinary
picture show. Political oratory was
rampant and the ''dear people" and
the overworled taxpayers" had an
other inning of it The crowd in the
lobby was not as large as usual and for
this reason the brilliant display of ora
tory was cut short in order to give
the members of the council chance to
get in on the masquerade of the Dan
ish Brotherhood.
The most important matter to come
before the council was the question of
registration of voters before the com
ing spring election and resolution was
proposed to cut out the registration
This brought an argument and when
the resolution was put to the council
Aldermen Pirseh, Higley, Harbaugh,
George Wade, Stemm, Willems, Wer-
ner, John Wade and Saftig voted
against the registration and Aldermen
Marlatt, Simons, 0 'Brien, Hegeman
and Swift voted for it, The mayor
declared that the resolution was car.
ried and then came a demand for an
opinion from the city attorney as to
the number of votes needed to carry
resolution.
The city attorney finally decided that
a majority vote carried the resolution
and this ended the matter. Alder
man Timme was not present when. this
vote was taken.
The action on revocation of the
Breen saloon license was again side

MAY SEEK AN INJUNCTION
His Honor Fails to Follow the Sugges-
lions of Republican Committee in
Naming Men to superintend Elec
lions in Kenoshas

Mayor NJ. j. Scholey utterly Ignored
the state law in regard to the appoint
ment of election officials when he made
up the list of men to serve for a two
year term late Monday afternoon and
the list sent to the common council
and confirmed by that body contained
only few names of men who had been
nominated by the Republican city com
mittee as required by law. The mayor
made many changes in the, list of of
.fcials and many men who had served
on the boards in the wards for years
were cut off and other substituted
Secretary John Williams of the Re
publican city committee has with the
aid of Chairman O. A. Mcneil made
up a full list of nominations for places
which should be filled with Republicans
and these nominations were filed with
the mayor on Monday evening. The
head executive paid no attention to the
nominations notwithstanding the fact
that the law provides that the men
named by the mayor to fill these places
must be selected from the nominations
made by the committees. The Demo
cratic committee is disorganized and
lit did not submit any list of nomina-
tions to the mayor.
Chairman O. A. McNiel of the Re
publican committee when seen this
morning declared that he was not as
yet ready to state just what course
would be taken by the Republican com
mittee but during the morning the mat
ter was taken up with District Attor-
ney r. V. Baker and it is expected
that the committee will make fight
for the rights of the party.
Whether this fight will take the form
of an injunction to prevent the men
named from serving or if it will take
the form of impeachment of the mayor
remains to be seen. The chairman of
the committee however, declared that
the committee would insist on the state
law being followed in, the naming of

of the matter. Alderman O'Brien
moved that the adjournment be allow
ed and Alderman Simons promptly
moved the amendment that the council
take action at once. The vote on the
amendment was as follows: Ayes-Al-
dermen Marlatt, Simons, Hegeman,
Swift, Higley, Harbaugh. Noes-Al-
dermen Pirseh, O'Brien, Timme, Geo.
Wade, Stemm, Willems, Werner, John
Wade and Saftig When the original
motion was carried Aldermen Higley
and Harbaugh voted aye with the al
dermen. who had voted no on the
amendment and the motion to adjourn
the hearing was carried by vote of
II to 4.
An interesting fact was brought out
in regard to the bills for the repaving
of the streets which work was com
pleted by Christ Petersen late in the
fall of 1909. There had been a lot
lof discussion of the matter and most
of the aldermen had expected that the
big bulk of the expense of this work
would be paid by the Kenosha Gas
and Electric Company. The report of
the city engineer showed that the cost
to the city was a little over FIVE times
the cost to the gas company.
The report of the engineer showed
that the contract provided for a total
of 2,27059 square yards of paving
done. Of this 1,571.63 the engineer
found properly chargeable to the City
of Kenosha, 1875 for sewer stubs,
1901 to the American Telegraph and
Telephone Company, 66,7l to the Ke-
nosha Water Company and 301.49 to
the Kenosha Gas and Electric Com
pany. The repaving was done at a
cost of IS cents square yard with the
cost of the brick added. The city s
portion of the expense without the
charges for sewer stubs was $1,505.6S,
while the cost to the Beggs company
was but 1926 at the contract rate
and at that it is declared that
the gas company had its repay
ing done under a day work schedule
which cut the contract price consider
ably.
A communication was received from
the police and fire commission asking
that the city give the commission pow
er to add two more men to the police
force and one to the fire department.
This matter was referred to the two
committees with request-that they re-
port at the next regular meeting.
The committees investigating the
proposition to bury the wires and to
provide a central lighting plant for the
city buildings made verbal report of
progress and asked for further time
to complete the investigation Further
time was granted without objection.
Many complaints were received
against the action of the street com
mittee in ordering snow removed from
walks, it being declared that the city
men had cleaned walks after they had
been properly cleaned by the property
owners. This matter is to be fought
out at the next meeting of the coun-
Gil. The complaints come from every
part of the city and it is probable that
