WILL Be ON BALLOT
Name of Former President
to Go on Wisconsin Bal
lots as Candidate.
SEEK DISTRICT DELEGATES

| The name of Theodore Roosevelt
will be placed on the official ballot
for the presidential primary election,
| to be held in Wisconsin, April 9, as a
candidate for the Republican nomina-
ton for president.
Announcement to- this effect was
made today What is much more,
candidates for Roosevelt delegates to
the Republican national convention
will be brought out in several districts
OF the state and if it is possible a
complete Roosevelt ticket tor delegates
from this state is to be placed
in the field.
News in regard to the Roosevelt
movement in this state was received
in this city from Manitowoc, where IT
is said that the Roosevelt movement
has been started with Dr. j. III. Gehbe,
q ManitoWoc dentist, who mas for some
time been prominent in politics in
this state, at its head.
Dr.. Gehbe was connected with the
Davidson gubernatorial campaign of
SIX years ago and was formerly La
Toilette man in politics, although of
late years be mas not been connected
with the LaFollette organization, there
having been a parting Of the ways at
the time OF the Davidson campaign.
The temperance of DR.. Gehbe in
the political arena as q Roosevelt
champion is thought by many to con
firm the reports in circulation earlier
in the year to the effect that. William
D. Conner Of Marshfeld was prepar-
ing to take hand in the Wisconsin
political game again and that Mr..
Common was quietly starting move
ment to organize the state for Col.
Roosevelt.
These reports have been persistently
denied by Mr.. Conner. Nevertheless
DIR. GIehbe has always been Very close
to Mr.. Conner politically and would
be likely to be interested in any poll
teal movement Mr.. Conner was plan
ing.
One candidate for a Roosevelt dele
gate has already announced himself in
the second district and It is said an
other candidate will announce himself
in that district today. Announcements
of candidates for Republican conven-
ton delegates under the Roosevelt
banner are also expected in the sixth
district today or tomorrow. Candi-
dates will also likely be out in the
first district in the near future.

MAKE TWO TAX PAYING TIMES
Council Asked to Consider Such Plan
and ask Legislative Enactment to
Make Possible Change in Time for
Paying City Taxes in Districts.

The assessors of the city held an in
formal meeting this morning at which
time they completed plans to- start the
work Of making the annual valuation
Of the property of the city on next
Monday morning and in order to have
She proposed plan for .'card valua-
tion properly explained to them ar
1angements have been made for meet
ing with Joseph E. Dalton, supervisor
Of assessments on Monday evening"
Mr.. Dalton will explain fully the plan
that is to be followed and the asses
sors will start work ON Monday after
noon with view Of having a personal
inspection Of every piece Of property
in the city by the time the books are
turned over to the city clerk early in
August. Tt will be impossible to com
piete this, work by the last week in
June the date set for the meeting of
the board of review.
The assessors have taken up the mat
ter OF getting better results in the city
and Assessor John j. Langan has sug-
gcsted az new plan for assessment to
the members of the city council. The
plan meets with approval from many
OF the aldermen, but it would be inn
possible to put it into use until after
a special enactment can be secured
from the legislature to change the time
of collection of taxes. The plan which
VIII be proposed to the council pro-
yides for the division of the city into
two districts. In one of these districts
the taxes would be made payable on
the first day of January while in the
other the taxes would be made payable
on the first day of July. 1t would pro-
vide that the assessors give the entire
year to the making of the assessment
six months of which would be given
to one district and the remainder Of
the year to the other In this manner
it would be possible for the assessors
to give more than double the time now
given to the assessment
1t is claimed that the division of the
city into districts would be decidedly
favorable to large property owners as
it would distribute the payment of
taxes over longer period of time.
The July payments would come at a
time when there was no demand for
tho payment of coal bills and when
The property owners had been given a
chance to recuperate from the expendi-
lures of the holiday season. 1t would
be possible to set the times Tor pay
ment of taxes at March lst and Sep
tember LIST, not any other six months
periods in the year that might appeal
to the members of the council.
The new plan would not demand any
change in the present method of tho
levy OF the taxes, but it would make it
necessary for the city clerk to get out
two tax rolls during the year in order
to take care of the different districts.
Similar plans are now being used in
some Of the larger cities Of tie state
and it is said that they are regarded
favorably by the people of these
cities. It is expected that the sugges-
lion of the assessors will go to the
council shortly after election and they
will be asked to act at once on it.

doubt has existed since the passage OF

And the next morning they were In

that State. They had left behind the
tame levels and the truly rural towns
and they were among foothills and
mountains, passing cities Of wildly
