Juliet A. Clarkson, widow Of Joseph

afternoon at the residence of her
daughter, Mrs. Gilbert M. Simmons, was
the daughter of Jacob Russell and
Mary III. Russell, and came with her
parents to Chicago from Middletown,

brother Of the late Bishop Robert H.

they took the accommodation = for

MUST GET INCOME BLANKS.
People Subject to Tax Not Immune Be.
cause Blanks are not Mailed to Them.

There are lot of people in Kenosha
who believe that they are immune from
the payment Of the income tax just
because they have not received from
the assessor of incomes a blank on
which to make the return. This is not
a fact. Every man who has an income
of more than 500 is expected to make
a return to the state and the income
assessor is not forced by the law to
send the blanks. Assessor Dalton has
sent out large number Of blanks with
view of getting the people properly
started, but the man who failed to get
the blank is not necessarily escaping
taxation under the income law. Ii
he is liable to the tax and fails to
make return he may be taxed double.
It is up to the taxpayer to take care
of this matter whether he has received
notice or not. The state exacts this
report, without saying anything about
its duty to supply the blank.
So that to be on the safe side, those
who have not been furnished with the
blank would do well to call at the
county clerk IS Office and secure one.
That would put them on the safe side,
although it is not thought the state
would he severe with a person who
failed to make a report because he
didn It receive a blank unless there
were surrounding conditions which
showed plainly that the person was
purposely evading taxation.

STEPHENSON STILL ON DECK
Inner Circles of LaFollette Organize
ton Disturbed Over Candidates. of
Men Who Want to Be United States
Senator When Stephenson is ousted.

Ii there should be a vacancy in the
senatorial seat of Isaac Stephenson by
reason of an unfavorable action of the
United States senate as regards the
title of Isaac Stephenson to his seat
the candidate who may make the run
against Gov. Francis E. McGovern in
the primary election for the nominal
ton to the seat will likely be State
Senator A. w. Sanborn of Ashland
and not Irvine L. Lenroot of Superior.
This news comes from within the
innermost LaFollette circles and has
been discussed in meetings of the So
called Lenroot organization for some
days past.
just what it means the members of
the LaFollette inner circle refuse to
say. They claim the relations of SEN
ator LaFollette and Congressman Len
root are just as close as ever despite
the admitted "political differences y
between them, of which Mr.. Lenroot
spoke in his authorized interview
printed last week.
The innermost circle leaders claim
that the candidacy of Mr. Sanborn is
but another step in the program
which they have limited at all winter
land that it but emphasizes the state
ments they made in December to the
effect that the eyes of Congressman
Lenroot were upon the speakership of
congress and not on a senatorial NOM
nation.
Another query arises in this regard,
and that is whether Mr.. Sanborn will
fulfill the expectations of the close
LaFollette leaders and make the sem
atorial run.
Mr.. Sanborn has always taken the
position that he must be drafted for
any place for which he is a candidate
All through the legislative senatorial
canvass of 1907, which finally ended in
the election of Isaac Stephenson for
the short term in the United States
senate ending March 8, 1909, it was a
well known fact around Madison that
Senator Sanborn was under considera-
tion as a possible compromise candi-
date for United States senator, and
had be at any time given the word
for the unmasking of his forces his
candidacy would have been a formid-
able factor. Senator Sanborn, how
ever, never gave the word at that
time, and the question arises now
whether, should the contest arise, he
Will be in the field. 1t is certain that
there are halfbreed leaders in the state
who expect that contingency and are
confident of his candidacy. 1t is said
that if Senator Sanborn gives the word
practically all Of the present Lenroot
organization will be behind him in
his campaign.

1t looks now as if the bitter fight be-
tween some of the candidates for NOM
inations would result in better en-
forcement of the corrupt practices act
I'm all its ramifications in this city
than was thought possible when the
campaign first got under way. For one
thing the expense accounts of the
candidates are going to be subjected to
the closest scrutiny and unless all the
expenditures known to have been made
are set forth in order there will be an
attempt made to keep the names of
the men attempting to conceal the cost
of their campaigns off the tickets. The
provision Of the law which penalties
a failure to make an honest accounting
with disbarment from the ticket will
undoubtedly result in much more COM
plete reports being made than most of
the candidates have thought necessary
to turn in before.

The promoters Of boxing shows in
Kenosha are we'll aware of the fact
that there are plenty of people in this
city, and for that matter in many of
the other cities of the state, who are
waiting for an excuse to put stop to
the boxing game here, but it depends
absolutely on the followers Of the sport
whether or not they will be successful.
The promoters must have the good will
of the officials Of the county and the
city if the shows are to continue and
that good will depends on the conduct
of the crowds which invade the city
to attend the shows So long as the
crowds are quiet and orderly and there
is no clash with the police or the sher-
ifs officers it does not appear that
the promoters have anything to fear
from the local authorities. Therefore,
gents, be nice, be nice.

There is the usual difference Of opin-
ION as to the obligation of candidate
who has no expenses to file an account
with the city clerk, but all of the can
didates of all parties should go througa
the motions next Saturday just to be
en- the safe side. The clerk is not look
ing for chances to keep any names off
he ballot, but he should not be put in
position where he will have to take
it for granted that any candidates who
have failed to file an account have had
no expenses.
