SENDS OUT The CALL
New Republican County Com
mittee to Meet for Organ
ization Next Saturday
STRENUOUS WORK IS NEEDED
Party Chiefs See Need of Active Work
in County to Secure Election of the
Entire Republican Ticket Gossip
Over Chairman.

The Republicans of Kenosha county
have read the returns from Maine and
the party leaders are not going to take
any chances of losing out in this coun-
ty and with view of organizing the
party thoroughly in the county before
the coming election, District Attorney
Robert Verne Baker on Tuesday sent
out call for the meeting Of the new
county committee to be held at the
office of Mr.. Baker in the Meyers Block
at two o'clock Saturday afternoon. The
meeting is called for the reorganization
of the committee and for the election of
secretary and treasurer. 1t is not
known whether or not Mr.. Baker will
succeed himself as chairman of the
committee but it is known that it is
the wish Of many Of the members of
the committee that Mr.. Baker remain
at the head Of the committee but he
may decline to accept the office. The
organization made on Saturday will be
the organization of the committee until
the holding of the next Primary cleo
ton in 1912. John Zens the present
treasurer of the committee was tied
with several other Republicans IN the
seventh ward for election as committee
man in the seventh ward and if he is
declared member of the committee he
may be continued in Office In the
past it has been the practice to elect
both the Chairman and the Treasurer
from the members of the committee but
1t has been held in the past that this
is not a necessity and should majority
of the members of the committee favor
the choice of Mr. Baker as chairman
there is no doubt but that he could hold
the Office. The Democratic county com
mittee has not as yet been reorganized
but it is certain that the Democratic
leaders will make the coming fight one
of the hardest political battles ever
waged in Kenosha county. The mem
bers of the party are enthusiastic over
the chances of their candidates and the
Republicans realize that they will have
to fight to succeed in electing the full
county ticket. However, Kenosha coun-
ty is a Republican county and the
normal majority in the county is up
in the hundreds. SO far as the county
committee is concerned it will be ready
to act in unison and it is certain that
the committee will not be divided by
any fractional differences. 1t is planned
to have a decidedly busy campaign in
the county and while it is vet two
months before the election the can
didates are already hard at work and
they promise to keep busy until after
the election. it is expected that the
present campaign viii be considerable
of a, speaking campaign and orators
from all parts of the state as well as
from other states will probably be sent
to Kenosha county for addresses dur
ing the campaign. Most of the candi-
dates have been very active during
the primary campaign and they have
managed to get pretty well acquainted
with the voters. What the Republicans
fear more than anything else is the
fact that the off, year sentiment may
cause the Republicans to take little in
Eterest in the campaign. The success
of the Republican candidates is GER
tain If the whole vote gets out but it
IS going to be something of problem
to get out the vote. Town and princinct
committees will be organized at once
and every effort will be made to get
out the full party vote at election.
