TO AID HIGHWAY MOVEMENT
Many Kenosha Owners of Automobiles
Receive Letters From State organi-
cation and From Milwaukee Automo-
bile Club Urging Early Organization.

DSGu
started in KAnosha for the organiza-
ton of Kenosha Automobile club and
this morning many of the leading
owners Of automobiles in the city re-
ceived letters from Leonard Meyer.
secretary of the Milwaukee Automobile
club and from NJ. G. Moore, president
of the Wisconsin State Automobile AS
ISOLATION, proffering their services to
aid Kenosha in getting club properly
organized. The matter has been taken
up by the local men and within few
days formal call will be sent to
the leading owners of cars in the city
calling a meeting at which the plans
for the organization will be discussed.
President Moore has agreed to come
to Kenosha and be present at this
meeting and do what he can to point
the way for successful Organization
in Kenosha.
The members of the Milwaukee and
Chicago clubs are anxious to secure
an organization in Kenosha and they
have declared that there will be an
immediate exchange of courtesies be-
tween the clubs. 1t is thought that
there are at least two hundred motor
cars in Kenosha and it is believed
that a majority of these people would
be willing to go into q club and aid
in the opening of club house. The
maintenance of such club house it
lis declared would be inexpensive as
the local enthusiasts would not plan
to 60 into the scheme in an expensive
manner.
The state organization among the
automobile owners is now making an
effort to spread the club feature to
all of the larger cities and Racine has
already taken steps to form perma-
nent organization among the owners
Of motor cars in that city. These clubs
are to be made decidedly useful in pro-
noting the automobile in Wisconsin
and it is expected that the clubs will
unite in creating sentiment in favor
of the building Of better roads.
The members of the Milwaukee club
have made great progress in the few
years that the organization has been
in existence and the club now owns
it's own home and it is made mecca
for the owners Of ears in that city.
Tt is declared that the clubs in the
smaller cities of the country have been
made social centers and that they have
also accomplished great good along
many lines.
The state association has been &C.
tive in seeking legislation for the pro-
motion of better highway conditions
and in addition to this it has been the
moving factor in arranging lot of
good sport for the owners of cars
throughout the state. The formal an
nouncement of the meeting for organi-
zation will be made within the next
few days.

One of the Italian residents of the
city attended the council meeting on
Monday night, but he could rot stand
for the frenzied oratory of the alder
men and he fell from his chair IN a
trance, The janitor was put on guard
while, the council continued its bust
ness. The man had the appearance of
suffering from an over consumption ct
beer, but his fl.e1ds assisted that he

TAKES TRADE FROM KENOSHA
Lake Shore Cities Left Out in Cold in
Plans of Chicago and Milwaukee
Road Association to Secure AUtorro-
bile Road Between Two States.

Business men in Kenosha and Racine
are being called upon to take some
action to protest against the action Of
the Chicago and Milwaukee Road AS
ISOLATION in planning for the improve
ment of the Kilbourne road from Mil
waukee to the state line as it is de-
clared that such an action will result
in Racine, Kenosha, South Milwaukee
and all other cities along the lake
shore being put on side track and
being deprived Of the business that
naturally follows the coming of the
automobile tourists.
No formal action has been taken by
the Kenosha and Racine merchants, but
the South Milwaukee Industrial Asso-
citation has taken up, the matter and
has named committee to visit mer-
chants in Kenosha and Racine and seek
to secure their aid in opposing the
plan made by the Chicago Milwaukee
Association. In South Milwaukee it is
declared that the counties along the
lake shore are to be used in developing
a great road which will be of greatest
benefit to Chicago and Milwaukee and
that the improvement of the Kilbourne
road will result in the smaller COM
munities losing the little business they
now get from the tourists. Local mer-
chants hold that the logical place for
a road between Chicago~and Milwau-
kee is the Lake Shore road and they
hold that the people using such q
road would much prefer to have road
running through the cities along the
shore rather than road limited to
the country districts west of all the
cities.
At South Milwaukee the matter has
been taken up in vigorous manner
and the county highway commission of
Milwaukee county will probably be en-
joined from giving aid to the Kill
bourne road on the ground that it is
not the logical highway.
One of the best known local mer-
chants said today: "We are interested
in this good road movement and we do
not object to some Of the money Of
the county being expended in building
a road that will open a better way
between Milwaukee and Chicago, but
we do not believe that Kenosha should
be left in the lurch when such a road
lis built. Little good would come to
the city Of Kenosha from the improv-
ing of a road three miles west Of the,
city. The main good to this city is the
coming Of tourists to hotels and
restaurants. In the summer months
this business is a considerable one in
Kenosha, but if the road is placed
three miles west Of the city all of
this business will be lost and the tour
lists will have to make their way into
Chicago or secure their meals at road
houses which are certain to spring up
along the proposed route. The lake
shore road offers lot Of natural beau
ties for the tourists and it seems to
me that it is the only road really suit
ed for the purpose. Of course l can
see the interest of the Milwaukee peo-
pie in having the road to the west i'm
proved, but if the various counties
along the right of way are to aid in
the work of construction they should
have some Of the benefits that are
sure to follow the completion Of the
road.

SOCIALISTS TO ENFORCE LAW
Statute Against Use Of Carriages One
Long Sought by Members of Social
Democratic Party lizard Fights in
Wards Now Getting Under Way.

There is not going to be great deal
of trouble to get your name on the
ballot for the election this year as
the old twenty per cent DOGGY which
resulted in many good men being de-
MED the right to run for Office after
they had been on the primary ballot
has been removed and the new law
, passed by the last legislature assures
a man a place on the ballot under his
PARTY name if he secures but ten per
cent of the votes cast at The last gen
eral election. Kenosha rolled up such
good Democratic majorities at the last
general election that the burden Of
getting on the ticket in most of the
wards is shifted from the Republicans
10 the Democrats and in some OF the
wards q Republican would only need
ten votes to secure his place on the
ticket. The number of votes required
in other years has just been cut in two.
It is pretty certain that the pri-
maries this year will be Of more than
passing interest and this fact will aid
in getting out votes enough to insure
the nomination of every candidate on
all three of the tickets.
1t is al interesting fact that the
Social Democrats are to make hard
campaign this year and they are be-
ing depended on to aid in the enforce
ment of some Of the new provisions Of
The election laws For years the
Social Democrats have been making a
determined fight against the use Of
carriages at elections and this year the
law gives them a chance. 1t is said
that leaders of the Social Democratic
party will arrange to have a man at
every polling place both at the pri-
mary and at the election and that the
first appearance of a carriage to be
used in boosting any candidate will
bring q formal complaint for arrest of
the man who hired it, One or two
convictions for using carriages would
dissipatc the salary of any man run
ming for a city office aud it is not
probable that the candidates will be
willing to take any chances of getting
against this section of the law
Petitions for the various candidates
are now getting into circulation and it
IS expected that by the end of next
week provisions will have been made
for all the men who propose to be
candidates. The third ward promises
to be a real battle ground among the
Republicans. The petitions of John
Hegeman and Z. G. Simmons, both can
didates for the Republican nomination
OF aldermen are now in circulation
and it is declared that the fight will
be made three cornered one as petit
tions are to be taken out for the
nomination of Charles Barr Among
the Democracy the most interesting
fight promises to be in the sixth ward.
William Smith has taken out petitions
as candidate against George Wade
aud it is declared that Frank Hams
g, who came within one vote Of being
nominated year ago will also be a
candidate for the nomination this year.
IL is probable that the Republican tic
ket will be pretty well made up be-
fore the close of the present week.

SEEK MISSING BOY.
Mother of Wilfrid DAILY Sends Pathetic
letter +a +he Police of Kenosfa.


Letter to the Police of Kenosha.
Chief of Police Owen O'Hare this
morning received pathetic letter
from Mrs. William J. DAILY Of Chicago,
asking that the police of Kenosha
aid her in a searching for her missing
son, Wilfrid J. DAILY, who disappeared
from Chicago on the afternoon Of Sept.
II Of last year and from whom nothing
has been heard. Mrs. DAILY thinks that
it is possible that the boy may have
come to Kenosha and that he is work
ing in some factory here under an
assumed name. The search for the boy
has been ore of the biggest mysteries
ever given to the police departments
Of the middle west for solution.
