PRESIDENTIAL ELECTORS HIT
Must Pay 5000 for the Honor of Seeking
TO Go to the National Capital and
Cast Ballot for State After the Ma
tional Election Is over.

LII the presidential electors chosen by
each party to cast their vote in the
electoral college desire to get their
qualifications before the people as the
other candidates are expected to do, it
will cost each about $500. A discovery
Of this fact was made today by one
of the Republican electors and when he
communicated the information to some
of the others there seemed to be sen
timent against this personal expendi-
ture. The last session of the legisla-
ture enacted law, similar to the Ore
gon law, providing for the sending Of a
pamphlet to all Of the voters of the
state at the expense of the candidates,
setting forth their qualifications for Of
flee. And it has been discovered that
this law also applies to candidates as
presidential electors.
Under the law the secretary of
state is required to issue a pamphlet
in which may be found the qualifica-
tions and picture of each of the can
didates for office in every political
party. 1t is not compulsory for a can
didate to take space in this pamphlet.
But the new corrupt practice act is so
stringent that this is about the best
method left for getting before the
people. I
While the law has been tried in
Oregon with success, the task of fur
nishing information to the Wisconsin
electorate, in nearly four times as
large as Oregon, will be stupendous.
It is estimated that the pamphlet will
consist of about one hundred pages.
In it will be found the pictures and a
statement Of all of the candidates for
governor and other state offices, ins
cluding the senate and assembly. Be
sides space is reserved for the various
candidates for congress and United
States senator, if any.
In order to facilitate the handling
of this enormous mail, Secretary of
State Frear is already having some

THURSDAY, MAY 9, 1912.

Unless there is a decided change in
the conduct Of some Of the boy gangs
3nfesting certain sections of the city the
police will be forced to send some OF
the members to the reform school. The
police will take this step with regret
but things are getting to the point
where patience ceases to be a virtue
If The police are forced to act and ar
rest some of the youthful criminals the
fault will be the parents and the re.
sponsibility for what follows will be
theirs also. 1t would be good thing
if some Of these parents who have ne
elected to look after these boys, in
whom there is not particle OF real
harm, but who are surely headed fol
the reform school or the penitentiary
could be sent up as delinquents. These

any actual criminal intention, bus when
the police have reported their actions
to parents the officers have been abused
instead of thanked for their efforts to
prevent the boys getting into serious
trouble. The people who are suffering
from the depredations Of the young
sters almost nightly are getting more
insistent in their demands that some
thing be done to put a stop to these
petty thefts and serious trouble will
follow for some of the boys unless the
parents wake up to their duties and
look after the children themselves. The
police and everybody else have beer
very patient, but it would be foolish tC
allow matters to run along as they have
been doing very much longer. The boys
have gotten an idea that they can dc
about as they please as it is.

|of the poll lists addressed. Copy for
the booklet for the September pri-
maries must be in the hands of the
secretary of state about July 20 and on
August "a all of the pamphlets will
have to be in the hands of the voters.
The cost Of space in the pamphlet
varies with the Importance of the Of
flee. One page of space for a United
States senatorial candidate costs
$500; for congressional candidate,
5000; for a state office, $500; for SEN
ator, 500, and for assemblyman, $40.
THE task of getting this pamphlet
to the voters of Wisconsin will be
stupendous, said Secretary of State
Frear today. ''There will be about
four times as many pamphlets mailed
as in Oregon, where the vote in 1908
was 111,000. We have estimated that
the pamphlet will occupy about 100
pages for the different candidates of
the several parties.
Mr.. Frear did not believe 1t would
be necessary for the presidential
electors to take space in the pamph-
lets. Tt is pointed out by one of the
presidential electors that two sec
tions of the corrupt practice act are
in conflict as applied to presidential
electors In fixing the fee to be
charged for space one section pro
vides: each candidate for the office
of United States senator or presi-
Dental elector, $500 for the first page =
Another section limiting the amount a
candidate may spend provides: that in
no case shall the amount spent exceed
that specified, and adds, 'sfor presi-
Dental elector at large $500, and for
presidential elector for any congress
sional district $780," This would seem
to preclude the eleven congressional
presidential electors Of each party in
Wisconsin from taking space in the
pamphlet, because Of the financial lin
itation. 1t would permit the two dele
gates at large to take space, if they
desired.

TRYING NEW SCHEME
Postoffice Clerks Are Being
Schooled in New Plans for
Routing Out Mails.
IT0 Get BETTER DELIVERIES

AS the result of a new plan that is
being worked out in the Kenosha post
Office the handling of mail here in the
future will be expedited much. For
some little time past the postoffice de-
partment has been suggesting this
plan to many cities Of Kenosha IS size
and larger, but it was not until few
days ago that a request Of this nature
was received here.
The plan is termed " scheming'' of
mail perhaps because it calls for an
entirely different scheme Of handling
mail. In cities where the plans is be-
ing tried it has been found to work
out very satisfactorily.
"Schemihg consists of having all
mail that leaves an Office arranged in
sacks so it will not be necessary for it
to be handled Mail that is to go to a
certain city is placed in certain bag
and so labeled. Not only this but the
instructions placed on the sack state
over what railroad the bag shall go
after it leaves here, this being mem
toned very particularly in case there
is need for changing trains.
In case the mail is to go to city on
any certain road which would mean
i K +
quicker service this is also arranged
for Thus when the mail leaves a city
in the separate sacks it is necessary
only to glance at the inscription-the
mail can then be dispatched there in
the shortest time possible. Under the
old system a less elaborate plan Of the
same nature was carried out, but it
did not save the sorting out of mail
after it had left an office.
To properly scheme mail it re-
quires a wide experience on the part of
the clerks who handle it. They must
be we'll acquainted with every city and
county in the states that adjoin Wis
consin. They must also know the rail
roads that Senter the different cities
and towns and know exactly whore a
change Of train would hasten the de-
livery Of mail
All these things must be kept in
mind constantly for the sorting out of
mail must be done very rapidly and
there is little time for hesitation.
One Of the officials says that the
clerks in the local Office are acquiring
an even better knowledge of their own
state, as well as Indiana, Ohio, Illinois
and Michigan. Different clerks in the
office are assigned different territory
Ito study-for instance the state Of
Illinois is divided into two parts and
each clerk becomes familiar with his
own half.

1t is very unusual proceeding to
hold session of the county board of
supervisors at this time of the year, but
the members of the board who signed
the call for the special session have an
excuse to offer that is good on it's face
and if nothing more is done than is
enumerated in the call no fault can be
found with their action. The county has
much important business on hand this
summer in the repair Of buildings, road
work, etc, and it is the contention Of
the men who favor the special session
that the committees which will have to
pass on the payment of the bills in the
fall should be appointed now that they
may each look after its part Of the
work while it is under way They be-
lieve that it is especially desirable to
organize the new board now as there
will be many more changes than usual
in the makeup of some Of the most i'm
portant committees. There are rumors
of politics in the calling of the special
session, but If the board confines it.
self to the stated objects of the special
session as given above, there will be
no ground for criticism. Certainly, no
taxpayers could object to the board
looking after the work the county has
in hand as closely as possible. That is
what they are there for and the mem
bers of the board can rest assured that
the closer they do that the better the
majority of the people of the county
will be pleased

The police can go as far as they
like IN suppressing the motorcycle
speeding without making anybody mad
except possibly the men who have to
pay the fines. The men who Violate the
speed laws are all on the Same level,
and it is noticeable that as many com
plants come in to the police office
against motorcycles as against automo-
biles, the people evidently regarding
the smaller machines as just about as
dangerous to life and limb as the larg-
er. 1t should be noted that the or
ganization among the motorcyclists does
not countenanee the violation of the
laws by its members.

University at Evanston and the quiet
little marriage in Kenosha is the cul-
mination of a college romance. Both
ere members of under classes at the
university and there is little doubt but
that they had planned to keep
their marriage a secret. Mr.. Hoyt and
his bride came to Kenosha just after
noon on Sunday and they had a lot of
trouble arranging the preliminaries for
the wedding. They finally managed to
get the deputy county clerk to issue
a license for the marriage and then
Judge Taylor was called to his Office
ito perform the ceremony Mrs. Tay-
lor and Sheriff stahl were the only
witnesses to the marriage,
Judge Taylor questioned the bride
and groom very carefully, but they did
moi reveal their identity to him more
than the facts shown in the marriage
license. Mrs. Hoy6, who is decidedly
clever young woman, declared that her
mother aud father knew all about the
marriage in Kenosha and were decid-
edly agreeable to it. She explained
to Judge Taylor that her father had
married a second time and that her re-
lations with the new mother were not
any too friendly.
Young Hoyt insisted that the an
nouncement Of this marriage would not
come as surprise to the members of
his family, but that it would be big
surprise to the members of his classes
at the university.
Judge Taylor used the full ring cere-
monv in the wedding and Immediately
after the ceremony Mr.. and Mrs. Hoyt
left for Evanston where they resumed
their work in the university this morn
ing. 1t is understood that they will
make their home at Winnetka.

The fact that the proprietor Of a
saloon is not present when the law is
violated in his place may be used as a
plea in abatemers, but never as an ex-
euse. The bartenders generally have to

over MILLION WOMEN TO
Vote IN NEXT ELECTION
'entinel Special Service.

Sentinel Special Service.
Washington, Mar. 12.-From a
million to million and a half of
women will have something to say
In choosing the next president. In
at least six states the hand that
rocks the cradle will also cast the
ballot.
In the six states where women will
vote next November they constitute
somewhat less than one-half of the
total voting population. The census
report is authority for the statement
that men are increasing in this coun-
Try more rapidly than women, due
TO the larger number of men lmml-
grants. The excess male population
is liked at 100000. In the west
ern states men are not so much in
the majority, however, as they were
in earlier pioneer days. Moreover.
1t seems to be generally conceded
that women register and vote in
larger proportion than men. To take
the women's vote, therefore, at ap-
proXimately half the entire voting
population of the six states where
the feminine influence is direct. 3"
would not be far wrong.
Estimating Washington total
voting population, inclusive of the
new woman vote at 100000, Idaho's.
at 10000, Wyoming's at $4,000,
Utah's at 10000, Colorado's at
100000 and California's at 100000.
we would have an aggregate of near
ly 100000 voters in the six states.
Possibly the fairest estimate would
fix the quota of women voters at
about 100000, number large
enough to be reckoned with in any
campaign.
This army of women, despite the.
fact that the United States is some
times called slow of persuasion by
suffrage enthusiasts includes one
third of the women voters of the
world, the other two-thirds being in
Australia, Finland, Norway and New
Zealand. 1t is more than the usual
presidential plurality. If a million
and a half voted solidly, they might
decide the presidency.
