There is no disposition on the part
Of the new sheriff to cheaper the hon
or Of being deputy sheriff by making
numerous appointments and there IS
no present indication that he intends
to exercise his appointing power too
freely in the future. IL naming the
watchmen at the different factories as
deputies he has only done the usual
and customary thing although some
people affect to believe that this is the
beginning Of wholesale appointments.
These last appointees made by the sher-
if must have police powers in order to
properly fulfill the duties of their po-
sitions iii the factories and making
them deputies is the easiest way to give
it to them. Their duties are limited
to whatever they may be called upon
to do in the plants and that was the
understanding when the appointments
were made.

North Side Man First i'm Field
as Candidate for Nomina-
tion for Assessor
MADE RACE IN OTHER YEARS

Nicholas j. Buchanan one of the best
known democrats of the north side of
the city has announced his candidacy
for the democratic nomination for as
SCISSOR to be voted on at the primary
election to be held in March and he has
the honor of being the first candidate
to come into the field for city office.
Mr.. Buchanan has filed the office Of
Assessor and has been candidate for
the nomination on several former prim.
aries. He is we'll known throughout
the city and coming into the field ear
ly it is pretty certain that he will have
a strong organization among the mem
bers of his party before the day set
for the primary election. The term of
Matthias P. Kleist will expire this
spring and as yet Mr.. Kleist has not
announced himself as a candidate for
re- election. Kleist and Buchanan have
clashed at number of primaries and
this fact will add interest to the fight
if the present assessor plans to come
out as candidate for reelection. No
one has been mentioned as republi-
can candidate for the office but it is
expected that there will be plenty of
men in the field before the election.
Alderman G. F. Stemm has come out
into the open as, candidate for re-
election for Alderman in the Sixth
Ward on the democratic ticket and it
is understood that his petitions will
be in circulation within the next few
days. The only other candidate for
mally in the field is John Anderson
who is seeking the republican nomina-
tion for Alderman in the Fourth ward.
1t is expected that the recent victory
of democracy in the general election
will cause that party to show unusual
activity in the spring campaign and
hard fights among democratic candi-
dates are expected at the primaries in
every ward.

County Supt. Kerwin Sees
Hope Of Training School
for Kenosha County
EXTEND NUMBER OF SCHOOLS

County Superintendent John J. Ker-
win of Silver Lake has not as yet CIV
en- up hope of securing a training
school for teachers, with state aid for
this county, Notwithstanding the fact
that the application of the county
board failed to reach the State Super
intendent before all of the schools al
lowed under the law had been provid-
ed for. Mr.. Kerwin was in Kenosha
today and he declared that he believed
the legislature would provide for the
opening Of more schools to take care
of the applications. "The legislature"
said Mr.. Kerwin "has always been
very liberal in dealing with these edu-
cational institutions and in past years
the number of training schools has
been increased and I believe that the
legislature this year will amend the
law providing for the training schools
so as to make it possible for the State
Superintendent to take care of all the
applications received from county
boards in the state. The training
schools, for teachers have shown their
value beyond a question and they are
bound to play an important part in
the school system of the state. I be-
lieve that the state legislature would
provide for many more of these schools
if the various counties in the state
would show willingness to aid the
state in the support of them. In every
county where the training schools have
been opened the efficiency Of the teach
ers has been greatly increased.
County Clerk Jones has received no
further communication from the State
superintendent in regard to the ac-
ton of the county board for Dodge
county and it is just possible that this
county will withdraw it's application
and permit a school to be established
at some point in Kenosha county with
out any extension of the number of
the schools on the part of the legisla-
ture. Should this be the case the coun-
ty board would provide for the open
ing of the school at it's next regular
session.
