HAD LAST CHANCE
State Legislature Not to
Have Another Chance to
Choose u. S. Senator.
URGED ELECTION BY PEOPLE

Unless vacancy for the United
States Senatorship occurs in this state
within the next year, it seems prob,
able that the legislature next winter
will not be called upon to elect a SEN
Iator. The executive office has Just
received the resolution adopted by con-
gross submitting to the states the
amendment to the constitution to per-
nit the election of senators by direct
vote of the people. Congress passed
the resolution few months ago, and
the Massachusetts legislature - the
first to be in session since that time
has unanimously approved the amend
ment.
In Wisconsin there is no opposition.
This state was one of the first to petit
ton congress to submit the amend
ment to the various state legislatures
Inasmuch as two-thirds of the states
asked for the amendment, the adop-
tion by the various Legislatures next
winter appears to be an unquestioned
probability. When the required num-
Der of states adopt it, it becomes a
part of the constitution. In Wiscon-
sin this means that United States
senator may be nominated at the Sep
TENDER primaries in 1913 and there
after, the names of the men nominated
at those primaries to go to a vote of
the people at the November election.
The legislature will have nothing
whatever to do with the choice of
senator.

KILLED BY A TRAIN
John Smith Meets Death on
Line of the NJ. r. and
X. Company.
TAKEN TO MIL AUkEE COUNTY
(From Tuesdays Daily

Il
John Smith, aged 43 years, resi-.
dent of South Milwaukee and employ
ed as beet weeder in the town of
Somers, met death under the wheels
Of a Milwaukee, Racine & Kenosha
Electric Railway car at the North
county line Of Racine county Monday.
The man s head was severed from his
body and he lay in the ditch along the
tracks for many hours before the body
was discovered by pedestrians and
turned over to the officials of Milwau-
kee county. The man was killed at
the line between the two counties, and
there was some disagreement as to
which county should take charge of
the body. Finally the Milwaukee Off
Gals caused the body to be taken to a
nlorgue in Milwaukee.
Nothing has been learned as to the
manner in which Smith met death. He
had worked in the fields on Saturday
and had left his work to go to his
home in South Milwaukee for visit
with members of his family. It is sup
posed that he was walking along the
tracks late in the night when he was
struck by the car. The members of
the various train crews could give no
details of the death of tie man.
Smith had worked in Racine and
Kenosha county for some time and was
well known to the truck farmers of
the two counties. The body will be
buried at South Milwaukee.

Health Officials Urge Proper
Care to be Given Milk
i'm Kenosha.
WOULD STOP DISEASE SPREAD

A special bulleting has been issued
by the health officials Of the state re-
lating to the care Of milk delivered to
homes in the cities and close follow
ing of the rules will aid materially in
preventing disease. The suggestions
are made with view of especially
aiding in saving the lives Of babies
during the hot summer weather. The
following are the rules as laid down:
/. Have the dealer leave the
bottles in cool place, protected from
the sun and flies.
2. Take bottle in at earliest pos
sible minute after delivery.
8. Wash cap and outside of bottle
thoroughly with clean cold water.
4. Place at once on ice.
5. Keep the ice box clean.
6. The ice box must contain no sub
stance such as onions, fish or other
substances which will impart their
flavor to the milk.
Z. Do not remove milk from ice box
until you are ready to use it.
S. See that all receptacles for milk
are clean.
8. Remove cap from bottle with a
clean special litter and replace the cap
and put back on ice immediately.
10. When milk has been used i'm
mediately wash bottle as required to
do by law and keep the bottle empty
and sanitary until delivered to dealer.

OPPOSITION F AD IN G
Petitions for Congressman
Cooper Being Circulated
in This County Today.
GOGDLAND HAS QUIT THE RACE

Petitions for the nomination of
Henry Allen Cooper as a Republican
candidate for member Of congress to
succeed himself in the First district
were put in circulation in Kenosha to-
day and it is declared that for the
first time in many campaigns Congress-
man Cooper will not be opposed for
the nomination on the Republican
ticket. Mayor W. S. Goodland of Ra-
cine, who was being urged some. time
ago as a Progressive candidate for the
nomination has formally announced
that he will not be a candidate for
the nomination ana similar announce
ments have been made by several
other prospective candidates.
The only chance for Cooper to have
opposition in his own party seems to
be the possibility that the supporters
of former President Roosevelt may de-
eide to have ticket in the First dis
trict. Such candidate would be fore
ed to run as an independent if his
nomination is laid over until after the
Chicago convention, as under the law
all petitions must be fled at Madison
before week from Saturday and it is
not thought possible that petitions
could be circulated throughout the
district after the Chicago convention
in time to get names on the ballots.
More than half dozen prospective
candidates have been mentioned in
connection with the congressional race
but they have withdrawn one by one
until they have left clear field for
the congressman to succeed himself
and it looks now as if the line up
would be Cooper against former City
Attorney Calvin Stewart Stewart was
named as the Democratic candidate
for congress at the district convention
recently held in Milwaukee and his
petitions have been circulated in all
parts Of the district by the district
committee.
There was some talk Of a second
Democratic candidate in the person of
William Mathers, retired farmer re-
siding at Beloit, but he has declared
that he does not care to contest for
the nomination and it will probably go
to the Kenosha attorney without OPP
position. When Mr.. Stewart ran
against Mr.. Cooper several years ago
the Racine man won by tremendous
majority, but the Democrats are claim
ing that this year the fight will be
much closer and it is an open secret
that the Kenosha attorney is hopeful
Of landing the honor Of representing
the district in the lower house.
1t is claimed that most of the Ra-
cine county men who have been active
against Congressman Cooper in the
past have signed his petitions this year
and he will have more than ever be-
fore a united party behind him in the
race.
