the county was one of the smallest on
record and in the city it was not any
larger than the vote cast at the pri-
mary fo1 the city election.
One of the features of the primary
was the interest taken by the Republi-
cans in filing up the ticket and the
returns show that a sufficient number
of Republicans wrote in the name of
John G. Williams to insure him the
Republican nomination for county sur
veyor.
The Social Democrats polled nor

opposition to any of their candidates.
All candidates nominated got the re-

CONTRACTORS KNEW PROFILE
Former Engineer Writes That He Per-
sonally Explained Changes to All Con
tractors Who Were Bidding on the
Trunk Sewer Contract.

Defending his work in making the
profles for the trunk sewer former City
Engineer Robert H. Moth, now at San
Diego, CAL. has sent a letter to Alder.
man John Ell. Hegeman, chairman of the
committee on sewers, in which he de-
clares that there were no serious de-
fects In the profile for the big sewer
and more than this that the contractors
before they bid on the work were adj
vised by Mr.. Moth of the change in the
profile. Mr.. Moth states that nc
changes should have been made in the
profile except in the brick yard proper
ty to the west of Fremont avenue
When the original profile for the sewer
was made it showed this land to be
much lower than it was at the time the
trench was dug, but this land was filed
in after the profile was made and there
was no change in the profile made
However, the engineer told each of the
contractors before the bids were sub
mitted that this change had been made
II went over the ground of the route
of the sewer with all of the contrac,
tors, said Mr.. Moth in his letter, and
all of them were entirely advised as to
this slight change in the profile. This
was before any bids were presented to
the council for the sewer. The profile
for the remainder of the sewer should
not have been changed in any par
ticular.'
Mr.. Moth intimates that if any
changes were made they were made
with view Of meeting the conven-
fence of the contractors rather than
with a view Of making a better sewer.
Mr.. Moth also stated that the contrac-
tors were advised that it would be nee
essary for them to take care of the
water in Jerome Creek during the con-
struction Of the sewer. In closing his
letter Mr.. Moth proffered his aid to the
city IN any way that he could be of
service and he is. willing if necessary
to come to Kenosha to aid the city in
any court case which may arise over
the settlement Of the bill for extras on
the sewer. He is also willing to make
affidavit to any important matters
which may come up in connection with
the settlement.
He characterized the bill for extras
as an outrageous one and advised the
chairman Of the committee to object
strenuously to the payment of any ex-
tras charged on the sewer.
The expert engineers employed by the
city have completed the work Of check
ing up the work done in connection with
the building Of the sewer and it is ex-
pected that their report will be sub
mitted to the council at the meeting on
Wednesday evening. These men are
well known engineers and they will
make no recommendation in regard To
the city making payment for extra
work. The report will be submitted
without recommendation.

Kenosha had it's first primary cleo
ton under the Mary Ann law on Tues
day and as result of the wrestle
with the second choice ballots two
nominations in the county are in
slight doubt. One Of them is the
nomination Of a Democratic candidate
for sheriff with Edward Murphy, with
large plurality of first choice ballots
almost certain of nomination and the
other is the nomination Of a Republi-
can candidate for the office of regis
ter of deeds. p. G. Torrey has lead
on the first choice ballots with John
Stevens a close second.
There is little reason to believe that
the second choice ballots will make
any difference, however, as an exam
nation of the returns show that few
voters in the county cast the second
choice ballots at all and it is not
thought that the official canvass which
will be made on Friday will make any
difference in the results as shown on
the face of the returns.
Alfred l.. Drury defeated Peter
Fisher Jr., for the Republican nomi-
nation for district attorney by a small
majority. Dir. f. W. B. Achen has
a clear majority over the other Re
publican candidates for sheriff, George
E Mahoney defeats John Haag for
the Democratic nomination for county
clerk and Calvin Stewart is the nomi-
nee Of the Democrats for congressman
in the First Wisconsin district, de-
feating Matt Lathers of Belolt, by a
large majority.
Former Mayor Charles H. Pfennig
had an easy time in defeating Frank
s. Becker for the Republican nomina-
tion for member Of the assembly.
The feature of the election was the
defeat administered to the scholRey
Democrats who had espoused the cause
Of Adolph Schmitz as Democratic
candidate for governor. Judge Karel
the opposition candidate, simply swept
the county, getting nearly three to one
votes over Schmitz,
Karel carried every, ward in the city
and nearly every town in the county
and his lead over Schmitz in the coun-
ty il close to the 800 mark.

PoRTER's SPEECH.

That Dudley Porter, the elector for
the state at large on the democratic
ticket, is more interested in the cleo
ton of McMillin than he is in the
success of the national democracy is
evident from the tone of his speech
here last week. Mr.. Porter devoted
the major portion of his time to
- abuse Of Hooper and praise Of Nc
Millin. He had comparatively little
to say about Woodrow Wilson and
Thos. r. Marshall and the principles
--of the national democracy. When it
is remembered that Mr.. Porter Is an
-elector for the national democracy,
that he has nothing whatever 20 do
: with the gubernatorial race, this is
= somewhat remarkable 1t is also
particularly surprising when the fact
lis considered that the most enthusi-
-astic and loyal supporters Of Gov.
Wilson in Tennessee are going to
vote for Hooper. And without their
votes Wilson would have practically
little genuine following in the state.
Mr.. Porter's speech was not calcu-
lated to help the Wilson and Mar.
shall cause in the state. He should
have less to say about the liquor de-
mocracy Of Tennessee and more to
say about the peoples democracy In
the nation.
