WILL QUIT EARLY NEXT MONTH
Asks Board to Give Him Until First of
Next Month to Close up the Work
That Has Been Going on During Sea
.son-Expect Many Candidates.

John G. Williams, highway commits
sioner for Kenosha county, has decid-
ed to give up his Office and has fled his
resignation with the county board with
the suggestion that it take effect the
first of December. Mr.. Williams has
given no reason for his retirement
from office more than that he believed
that it would be better for the cause
Of good roads for some other man to
take up the work. He has set the date
for the resignation to go into effect
at December 1st in order to give him
time to close up the work Of the pres
ent year and get the records of the
office into condition to turn over to
his successor.
Commissioner Williams was elected
for a term of three years, but there
has been a lot Of friction between the
commissioner and members of the
board during the year and the state
department has taken hand in cri-
itching the work in Kenosha county
on account of the delay in getting the
work under way. Williams has been
considerably handicapped, but at that
it is thought best for the county and
for ali concerned to turn the work
over to some other man. Members of
the board welcomed the resignation of
Mr. Williams as they feared an
other season under similar circum-
stances and with constant friction be-
tween the commission and certain
town officials.
It will be up 10 the county board to
name a successor for the unexpired
term and this will bring a new matter
of i le1est for the November session
Of the board AS soon as it becomes
generally known that Williams has re-
signed it is certain that there will be
lot of candidates in the field for the
job, but with the experience of the past
season the board will take lots Of time
TO select man for the place and it is
just possible that the election will be
laid over until the January session
of the board.
The state highway commission will
send a man to Kenosha to take up the
matter with the county solons. An Eff
fort will be made to secure man for
the position who will work in COM
plete harmony with the state board
and bind up all wounds that have been
brought during the year with the trou-
bles between the commissioner and
town boards.
John Herzog, town chairman of the
town of Somers, Charles L. Marsh of
Bristol, and Fred Sherman of the town
of Randall, have been prominently
mentioned in connection with the posi-
ton. The country members of the
board seem to be of the opinion that
it would be best to get man from the
rural districts.
It is just possible that the county
board will decide to elect a man for
a term of one year only with the I'M
derstanding that his retaining the of
fee for a longer time be based on his
ability to make good.

SEEKS RAILWAY PLACE.
Well known Man Would Aid in Re
organizing the G. and NJ E. E.

Albert Ellinger, head of the Badger
Manufacturing Company of Racine,
has been charged by Jacob Newman,
attorney of Chicago and general coun-
sci Of the bondholders of the Chicago
Milwaukee Electric Railway Company
with seeking a position on the re
organization committee of the railroad
and that he, Ellinger, asked Newman
to use his influence in obtaining the
position for Mr.. Ellinger. Mr.. New
nan bid in the properties of the rail
road company when they were solo in
Racine and Waukegan last September.
Before United States Judge Lands
in Chicago Mr.. Newman testified that
Mrs. Mollie Netcher of Chicago, had
used her influence in an attempt to
get the appointment of Albert Ellinger
to place on the reorganization COM
mittee of the Chicago and Milwaukee
Electric railroad and that if Mr.. Ell
linger was not appointed she would re-
move her deposits from the Western
Trust and Savings bank which was
trustee under the Wisconsin deed of
trust of the railroads properties. Mr.
Newman refused to urge the appoint
ment of Mr.. Ellinger.
An effort is being made to set aside
the receivers sale of the properties, it
being alleged that bids were suppress
ed at the time the sale of the
properties was made.

Progressives in Kenosha Name Officers
and Will Keep Organization Alive.
The members of the progressive
party in Kenosha held a meeting at the
Bull Moose Club rooms on Wednesday
evening and completed a permanent
organization of the party. S. c. New
man was elected chairman for che
county, Frank Becker secretary and
Charles S. Jacobs, treasurer. The Bull
Moose Club organized for campaign
purposes will be disbanded but it is
planned to keep up the organization
of the party with a view of taking
part in future campaigns. There was
some discussion as to what part the
party would take in the next munici
pal campaign, but the leaders held that
city elections must be non-partisan and
that the progressive party would
therefore have no cause for activity in
the campaign.

A bill permitting the enlistment of

MILK MORE COSTLY
Farmers Declare That Pro-
duction of Milk Costs
More Than Before
HANDICAPPED BY REGULATIONS

A number Of farmers residing in the
central portion of the county were III
the city today and interviewed as to
why milk was considered to be worth
SO much more than formerly. "WelI, :"
said the tiller of the soil to the le-
porter, one reason is that one cow
costs as much as two cows did sevei.l
yea15 ago. You cannot buy a good
milk cow for less than $75 or $85. A
few years back you could buy some of
the best for $40 and less. That means
we must invest twice as much in our
stock. Next thing, feed is worth more
than it was before and it almost costs
as much to keep one COW now as it
did two before. Then comes along all
these new tangled laws governing the
keeping Of stables in good condition,
white washing barns, disinfecting, air.
iating milk and other regulations
for taking care Of milk. These all
cost money. Then, you blame the
former for charging more for his milk.
To tell the real truth, the farmer is
making less on his investment than he
was several years ago when milk was
cheap. 1t takes a pile of time and
money to run dairy farm now and
there is great deal of risk. It is a
business proposition all the way
through and the more money we are
forced to invest in the dairy, /
wouldn't be surprised if your milk
here before long will cost ten and
twelve cents quart because the milk
laws are becoming stricter every day. =

START FIGHT EARLY.
Candidates for Speaker Of
the Assembly Building
Political Fences
GOVERNOR AND SENATOR CLASH

Should the republicans who ran for
the senate and assembly in Milwaukee
county on the democratic ticket as
non-partisans divide on party lines the
republicans in the senate would gain
two and the democrats lose the same
number, and in the assembly the re-
publicans would gain three, the demo
cratic membership being reduced that
much.
The fight in the speakership of the
assembly will overshadow all else from
now until the legislature meets. The
announcement Of L. L. Johnson, Stur-
geon Bay, made on Thursday, that he
is candidate for speaker has preci-
pitated the fight, which otherwise
might have lain dormant for some
weeks. Assemblyman 7. j. Mahon Is
hat has been in the ring for several
months, in the case Of his reelection,
which was looked upon as certain.
These two candidates represent the
LaFollette and McGovern factions in
the republican party in the state.
When Assemblyman Mahon volun-
tarily retired from the congressional
fight in the new eighth district, last
summer, leaving Senator E. E. Browne
clear field, it was understood that in
repayment for such withdrawal he
would have the support of the LaFol-
lette men for speaker. Mr.. Mahon $
slide over into the bull moose party
will, unless all signs fail, cancel any
earlier promises and if he runs it will
be as the McGovern candidate. Mr..
Mahon, while unwilling to make a
statement, showed clearly that he con
sidered himself candidate for the
speakership.
AS the lines are now drawn the first
conflict between the senator and the
governor will come, therefore, at the
beginning of the legislative session.
LaFollette men admit this and say that
there will be no question, when it
comes to a vote in the party caucus
for the nomination of a speaker, who
viii win.
While @lessrs. Johnson and Mahon
will be the candidates on whom the
limelight will be centered there are
others who will come into the fight.
From what has already been heard
there is a probability of four other
members of the assembly coming in.
These are R. ]. Nye, Superior; Mer-
lin Hull, Black River Falls; Axel
johnson, Turtle Lake, and w. E. Hurl-
but, Omro. Mr.. Hull was candidate
for speaker four years ago, but with
drew before the meeting of the repub-
lican legislative caucus. He has serv-
ed several terms in the assembly. Mr..
Nye has two terms in the assembly to
his credit and was one of the McGov-
ern leaders in the lower house in 1911.
Mr.. Johnson is another old member
while Mr.. Hurlbut will enter on his
second term next January.
In the senate there will be no strug-
gle over the position of president pro
tenn, wfo presides over the upper
house when the lieutenant governor is
not present. This honor will 20 by
unanimous consent to Senator II. G.
Martin of Darlington, who is the dean
Of the senate and is serving his fourth
term in that body. The empty honor
of being the candidate on the democra-
tic side will probably go to Senator
Paul 0. Husting.

GRANTS THREE DIVORCES.
Judge Belden Spends Friday in Court
of Domestic Relations

The circuit court of Kenosha county
was converted into a court of "domes-
tic relations" on Friday afternoon
when Judge Belden listened to the
evidence in three divorce actions.
James L. Shields was granted di-
vorce from his wife Josie Shields on
charges of desertion. 1t is said that
Mrs. Shields is living in Chicago.
Grace L. Bateman was granted di-
vorce from her husband, Wilbur e.
Bateman on cSarges of the same nat
ure and Judge Belden broke the mar
riage bonds between George Sakala
and Marie Sakala on the same grounds.
In the last case it was admitted that
the husband had left his wife and re-
turned to Austria, but later had re-
turned and sought reconciliation but
this had been refused.

UNRELlABlLlTY OF
THE STRAW VOTE
Portland Oregonian Gives Account Of
Four Straw Ballots Taken by
Four Canvassers.
VOTE OF SATURDAY UNRELIABLE
Democrats Take Advantage of Fact
That a Meeting Of Democrats
Was Being Held.

A surprise was sprung upon the peo-
pie here last Saturday afternoon when
straw vote was held OH presidential
candidates. There was nothing re.
liable about it because of the manner
in which it was conducted A few lead
ing democrats took advantage of the
fact that a meeting of democrats was
held in town that day and proceeded
to call for an expression Of choice for
president The whole program was
under control of the democratic con-
tingent. A large number of Taft peo-
pie refused to vote or to have any
thing to do with it because it was ap-
parent the democrats had timed the
vote to suit their convenience. Lead.
ing democrats canvassed the streets
and brought out every democrat who
could be found living in town or the
country. You can always tell what
party will win when you know the
party in charge of the voting. The
vote as reported is as follows: Wilson,
l1S5; Roosevelt, 10; Taft, 81; Debs,
|13; Chaplin, 4; no choice, 8.
The Portland Oregonian gives the
following account of four straw bal
lots taken by four canvassers in the
main street of Corvallis, Ore, recent
ly:
George Denman first passed the hat
and got the following results: Taft,
1872; Chaplin, 2; Wilson, 0; Roosevelt,
0; Debs, 0.
"Then Bob Johnson tried it and
produced the following results: Will
son, SO; Debs, 3; Taft, 0; Roosevelt,
10; Chaplin, 0.
Next lDr. Hanford employed the
scheme that proved that the bull
moose was rampaging in Corvallis in
this wise: Roosevelt, 10; Wilson, 1;
Taft, 0; Debs, O.; Chaplin, 0.
AS there was still some dissatisfac-
ton, Henry Price went out on the
same street and found the wind blow
ing as indicated; Debs, 8; Wilson, 1;
Roosevelt, l.; Taft, 0; Chaplin, o."
This is merely cited as evidence
that it is not safe to put much reliance
on the straw vote method of determ-
lining the strength of candidates. So
much depends on who passes the hat.

WHO is THIS MAN?

We all know these prophetic words
of Abraham Lincoln:
Towering genius despisas a beaten
path. 1t seeks regions heretofore un
explored. 1t seeks no distinction in
adding story to story upon the monu
ments of fame erected to the mem
DRY of others. 1t denies that it is
glory enough to serve under any chief
1t scorns to tread in the footsteps OF
any predecessor, however illustrious
1t thirsts and burns for distinction
and if possible it will have it, whether
at the expense of emancipating slaves
or enslaving free men.
"Is it unreasonable then, to expect
that some man possessed of the loft
lest genius coupled with ambition sui
ficient to push it to it's utmost extent
will not some time spring up among
us, and when such a one does it will
require the people to be united with
each other, attached to the govern
ment and the laws and generally in.
telligent, to Illustrate his designs. Dis
tinction will be his paramount object.
and, although he would as willingly,
perhaps more so, acquire it by doing
good than harm, yet that opportunity
being passed and nothing left in the
way of building up he would set bold
ly to the task OF pulling down.
Who is this man?
The answer springs unbidden to the
lips of every intelligent and well-in'
formed American.
