Politics in Kenosha is really begin
ming to wake up and personal work has
been started for lot Of the candi-
dates and this has the result of get
ting something doing all over the city,
The merry war between German and
Scholey for the nomination as the
Democratic candidate for mayor is on
III earnest and every night there are
conferences being held at which the
leaders in the rival camps are laying
plans for the primary election. Both
the mayor and the former mayor have
/ thrown discretion to the winds and
they are making frantic appeals for
votes. The friends Of both claim vie
tory and while the Scholey men claim
that they have no fear of German
winning out in the primaries they are
putting forth greater efforts than in
any of the former campaigns in which
the two men starred. German men de-
clare that they are satisfied with the
outlook. They declare that the senti-
ment all over the city is changing, that
the people have got enough of Scholey
and that he will not be re-nominated.
On the other hand the Scholey men
while admitting that it is hard to
arouse. interest in their cause this year
insist that the people are satisfied with
the administration management of the
city.
I There is a lot Of talking about time
for change and to meet this prop
osition is the hardest work for the
Scholey forces. All sorts of things are
being promised by the administration
lea&srs with view of securing theif
continuance i'll office. The question OF,
increased bonds is being hard prob
lem for the administration TO meet and
this is being fired at the candidates on
all sides. The candidates seem to be
making a studied effort to keep from
going on record and in some cases there
has been some great side stepping as
to the position taken by some of the
administration men in regard to poll
cies for the future.
The Republicans are paying little at
tention to the Democratic scrap regard
less of the fact that many efforts are
being made to secure Republican aid
for both Democratic candidates for
mayor.
In some Of the wards the fight be-
tween Republican candidates for al
dermen are attracting more attention
than the Democratic fight for the place
on the head Of the ticket. This is par
/ ticularly true of the third ward whef,.
there are four Republican candidates
in the field.
In the sixth ward Alderman George

political fight of his career. Frank

These wards are considered as the
lighting ground for the two parties for
ward Offices.
The leaders Of the various parties
do not expect that the woman vot'
will cut any big figure in the primary.
There are few contests for nominations
i for school commissioner and it is prob
able that the women will not find 1t
necessary to show their strength until
the election.
1t is rumored that in the event of
the nomination of Scholey to head the
Democracy that special newspaper

Hhis candidacy and that sof the men
close to him in political life.
Some Of the old time Democratic can
didates are being knitted by members
of their party and it is certain that
the primaries will bring some surprises.
