GIVES HIS OPINION.
City Attorney Declares MARY Ann
Bill Does Not Apply to Election Here.

City Attorney Calvin Stewart has
furnished City Clerk Harrington,
formal legal opinion in which he de
ciares that the state law in regard to
second choice candidates at the prl-
mary does not apply to Kenosha. II
Racine the law IS to be followed but
City Clerk Harrington will follow the
opinion of the Kenosha city attorney
and no provision will be made on the
primary ballot foe the voters to regis
ter their first and second choices
There are only few wards in the city
where the law would be IN any way
effective and the candidates in these
wards seem to be perfectly willing to
permit the old plan of a plurality pro
vide for the nomination. None Of the
city tickets would be in any way af-
fected by the second choice law
The attorney general of the state has
not as yet formally ruled on the ques
tion Of the application Of the law to
primaries in cities and it is generally
held by members of the Legislature that
the "Mary Ann" bill was designed for
state and county elections only.

ESCAPED FROM RACINE ASYLUM.
Henry o'Donnell Former Insane Patient
Found Wandering in Kenosha.

Henry @ Donnell, former Kenosha
county man, who has been an inmate
Of the Racine County Hospital for the
Insane, escaped from that institution
on last Friday evening and after wan
dering about the county for two days
he was picked up on the street of Ke-
Hosha on Saturday evening. O'Don-
nell was in no way violent, but mis-
condition clearly indicated that he was
in need of treatment, The man could
make no statement as to the way in
which he had come to Kenosha and it
is supposed that he walked from the
Racine hospital. He was taken to the
hospital by attendants of the institu-
tion on Sunday afternoon
The guard about the hospital has
been considerably increased recently
on account Of the large number OF
patients escaping and it is declared
that the. patients must be very clever
to slip through the guard now kept
at the institution.

consequently better conditions in Ken

consequently better conditions in Ken
osha. =
1.-THE men who rule Kenosha should
be men of brains, men who would be
capable of taking the foremost place
in any of the great industries Of the
city-men who can figure costs and
profits; men who can look a payroll
squarely in the face and differentiate
between honest expenditure for eff
cient service and petty graft for the
perpetuation of political patronage;
men who know the difference between
holding the political office for the good
of the whole people and holding it for
the advancement of their private bust
ness and the bullying of their private
pockets at the expense of the people.
Kenosha has for years been wrong
in its political life. It has been giving
the work of managing twenty million
dollar corporation into the hands of
men who were unfit for managing their
own petty business. It has often been
the idea that when man was so dis
abled either financially or physically
that he was unable to look after his
own dldlTS tudb Uu1S Was dDUub Lie bltue
to take him up and turn over to him
the business of the city. This tendency
has increased in recent years and the
first plain duty of the citizen is to root
out this evil.
.Common sense has ever been the
saving element in the makeup Of the
people of the United States. This com
mon sense must save the voters Of Ken
osha. Party politics has held it's sway
in Kenosha long enough. This was good
enough for the municipality in it's
swaddling clothes when every man was
alike fit for office, but new occasions
have surely brought new duties if they
have not taught them and the time has
come for the citizen to cease allotting
men as Democrats and Republicans and
picking out men for Office who are men,
instead Of walking to the polls and
voting blindly for some man because
he has the red tag of Democracy or
the blue tag of Republicanism. A little
municipal patriotism will show him
that a little of the Democratic red,
the Republican blue on a field of So
cialistic white might make an excellent
combination. 1t might bring results. Il

these viii be disposed of early IN the
sessions of the court With pleas Of
/" guilty =
There are fifteen cases of EVIL
nature for the consideration Of the
jury, most of them being personal dam
age eases. One is that of Mayor NJ.
3. Scholey against the Northwestern
road. This is a suit for damages
brought on account of a disagreement
of the right of the mayor to ride on a
ticket. The summons and complaint
have not as yet been filed but it is
said that the case viii be a decidedly
interesting one.
Another suit of some interest to the
general public is the suit brought by
II. G. o'Donnell against the Kenosha
Home Telephone Company to enforce
personal collections of phone rentals.
This case it is declared will be tried
ana hard fight is promised.
among the cases TO be decided by
the court is the old suit of the Eliza
beth street property owners against
the Kenosha Electric Railway Com
pany. This suit is brought to test the
right of the company to lay tracks ON
the street and the managers of the
company will insist that it be taken Up
and disposed of as the pending action
is now cloud on the franchise rights
of the company.
One feature Of the calendar is the
fact that there are but three divorce
actions. This is brought about by the
large number of divorce cases disposed
of by Judge Randall in the municipal
court.

INCOME LAW STILL PUZZLES.

Hardly a person in this city and in
other cities of the state thoroughly
understand the provisions of the in,
come tax law and great deal of diff
iculty is being experienced in making
out the returns which were mailed 50
1000 residents of Kenosha by Joseph
Dalton, income tax assessor Monday.
Heads of corporations and firms, at
well as individuals are calling at attor-
ney's Offices there to receive advice as
to how the returns shall be filed ous
but the attorneys are unable to give
the advice desired because of certain
provisions of the law conflicting. The
persons sending in the returns must
make affidavit that they contain full,
true and correct account of All income
received by or accrued during the year
1911 and that each item stated under
the head OF deductions is correct.

CREW HAS NARROW ESCAPE
Cars Are Piled in the Ditch and Con-
yerted Into Kindling Wood, But all
Men on Board Escape Unhurt-Traf
fic on Division Tied up all Day.

One of the most serious wrecks in
years on, the western division of the
Chicago and Northwestern road took
place just after six 0 clock this morn
ing when eleven ears which made up
the "Borden Special went into the
ditch at point just east of PECK s
crossing tearing up the tracks for more
than a hundred feet and tieing up all
traffic on the road for many hours.
The train was made up entirely of
empty cars and it was on the return
trip from Chicago when the accident
took place. A broken rail is said to
have been the cause of the accidenT.
Engineer A. T. freeman plotted the
engine of the train safely over the
broken rail, but the eleven cars which
followed the engine turned over and
went into the ditch. Conductor G.. III
Riley and members of the train crew
were in the caboose and they had a
narrow escape from death. None were
badly hurt but several Of the members
of the crew sustained slight. bruises.
The train was running at a high rate
of speed when it struck the broken
rail and the cars which went into the
ditch were piled high. Every car was
torn from the trucks and some of the
box cars were broken into kindling
wood 1t appears that the escape Of
the members of the crew was all but
miraculous. The engine did not leave
the track Passengers on the accom-
mediation train due to reach Kenosha
at eight O'Clock this morning had a
long trip Of it as the train did not
get into the city until nearly eleven
0 clock. 1t was impossible to get past
the scene Of the wreck and an extra
train was sent out from Kenosha. 1t
took time to get the extra train out
to the wreck and the passengers were
forced to wait from 7:l5 until after
ten O'Clock before they resumed their
trip to Kenosha.

URGE PEOPLE TO DO DUTY
Interested Citizens Suggest That Real
Thing for People to Do Is to Select
Men of Brains and Men of Common
Honesty to Fill City Offices.

One of the most interesting church
services ever held in Kenosha was held
at the First Congregational church on
Sunday evening when the pastor of the
church, the Rev. e. T. Farrill, conduct
ed symposium on the question, "What
Is the Duty of the Citizen at the Com
ing Election in Kenosha.
This question was answered by five
communications from interested citi-
zens. The names of the men writing the
letters were not made public, The COM
munications hit hard at the troubles
Of Kenosha and some Of the pertinent
paragraphs from them follow:
Two obvious duties that confront a
citizen:
He should study carefully the fit
ness Of every candidate of all parties
on the primary ballot, and cast his votes
for the men who can and will make
the best public servants this without
any regard to personal friendship or
party affiliatien. The adhering to party
names in local city elections is not
only senseless but directly harmful and
corrupting. Then, on the first Tuesday
in April his choice should be carefully
made a second time between the two
nominees And here, again, party affili-
alton should have nothing to do with it.
1t is men, the great interests of men
and civic life with which we have to
deal.
"Since public opinion is the most
powerful stimulus to right action back
of the official, and public opinion is
nothing more nor less than the con-
census Of individual opinion, it be-
comes the duty Of each citizen so to
inform himself on civic questions as to
give him sane opinions in matters af-
fecting the entire community. Then,
with officials elected who care, conscious
of having upon their acts the eyes and
Judgment of well-informed, interested,
critical constituents, there will be an
immediate Improvement in our deplor-
able civic conditions.

CRIMINAL CALENDAR is LONG
Few Cases Expected to Go to Jury and
Most of the Defendants May Plead
GUILTY. on Opening Term-old Gases
on Civil and Court Calendars

Clerk of the circuit court B. NJ. De-
Deimar ON Monday afternoon complet-
ed the work of making up the calendar
for the March term of the circuit court
which opens on next Monday morning
and there seems to be sufficient num-
Der Of cases on the calendar to insure
a busy term for Judge Belden and the
jury. However, attorneys are of the
opinion that the term will be a short
one and that most of the cases will be
settled before the term is two weeks
old.
Interest in the criminal calendar
centers in the trial of Pasquale Mar
chest and it is possible that this will
be dissipated by Marchesi pleading
"guiltyo on the first day of the term
and taking his sentence to prison. The
case of John Holieka, who is charged
with shooting with intent to murder
the young woman he afterward mar
ried, is also on the calendar, but it is
expected that this case will be contin-
ued from term to term pending the
good behavior of Holicka.
One case in which manufacturers
will be greatly interested is that of the
State VS.. The Thomas B. Jeffrey Com
pany This is the old fight of the state
to establish the right to test gasoline
purchased by manufacturing concerns
for their own consumption. The case
was started years ago, but the state
inspectors lost out in the lower court
and they have now taken the case to
the circuit court. There is little doubt
but that the case will get to the SUI
preme court regardless of the decision
of the jury.
There are lot of minor criminal
cases, but it is thought that most of

YESTERDAYS ELECTION.

YESTERDAYS ELECTION.
The result of the election yesterday
was a surprise even to the most ar
dent supporters of Robert M. La Fol
lette, who at the most hoped to win
in a close election. Roosevelt and
his campaign managers have no one
to blame but themselves for the re-
suit. No effort was made to carry the
state aside from sending in a few
speakers, but Roosevelt himself did
not appear before a North Dakota au
dience, while La Toilette put in a solid
week and spoke to tens of thousands
Of voters. It is of course acknowl'
edged that La Toilette received thou
sands of democratic votes, in fact
probably enough to have given him
the delegation. OF course the election
means little as far as forecasting re-
suits in the national convention Is con-
cerned as it is generally admitted
that La Toilette has no chance then.
The election In, North Dakota was
more or less Of q unique affair for
several reasons. one being the fact
that it was the first election of it's
kind to be held in the nation and an
other that the state was for a time
the home of one of the candidates.

BUSINESS MEN ORGANIZING.

BUSINESS MEN ORGANIZING.
The business interests in the re-
publican party are organizing in be-
half of Mr.. Taft, says the Washing
ton Star. In Pennsylvania the move
-ment is making marked Roadway.
Business men Of statewide and even
countrywide reputation are to be
chosen among the delegates to the
= Chicago convention. In Maryland
there is similar activity, and in New
York the business world is all alive
to the emergency.
There is a good sign for the presi-
dent, on two scores: CD Business
when organized-not what is called
big business predatory business, but
business which has to do with all the
comforts of life-reaches far, and
exerts a great influence. It elected,
and reelected, Mr.. Mckinley. It
gave Mr.. Roosevelt his large major.
ity over Judge Parker, and Mr.. Taft
. his large majority over Mr.. Bryan.
In all four of those campaigns the
business world held that the republi.
can rather than ~the."democratic party
stood for the best welfare of the
country.
~ (2) A large number of business
men among the delegates at Chicago
will minimize the danger-if any dan.
ger then exists-of stampede in the
convention. Business men are not
easily thrown of balance. They are
not at the mercy of the arts of their
masters. they can stand a vaude.
vile storm very well, and be in good
shape when 1t subsidies.
Surely there never was a better
time than now for the activity OF
business men in politics. All the
leading issues relate directly to bus.
mess. The tariff touches at nearly
every business point. Trusts are
wholly business, and the currency is
m issue which business men of. all
gtades are studying. Politics is in
