voice in the nomination of a candidate
for President as 11,00O republicans have
in Indiana. and 1t takes 10000 republicans
in Colorado to balance SSS republicans in
Florida. Worse yet, go republicans in
South Carolina or Mississippi have as
much power in the convention as 1000
republicans in Michigan or 1900 in Ohio.
The present plan is made the more unjust
and more vicious because Of the fact that
these southern delegations are controlled
by a federal machine.
"A new plan Of apportionment should
be adopted. determining first the total
number of delegates. deducting the num-
Der apportiOned to the territories and in
sular possessions and then apportioning
the others among the states in the fol-
lowing manner; assign four delegates to
each state and apportion the remaining
delegates on the basis of the vote cast
for the republican candidate for Presi-
dent in the last preceding election.
THE present convention contains 1O76
delegates, of whom fourteen are assigned
to Alaska. District Of Columbia. and the
rnsular possessions. leaving 1852 dis
tributed among the states.

Harmony Move Likely.

His failure to make the announcement
upon his arrival was construed to mean
either that the selection of d chairman
had not yet been made after all. or that
it was Mr.. McComb's hope to arrange
with the two other prominent candidates,
besides the one selected, to accept the
positions of secretary and treasurer OF
the inaugural committee. thus bringing
about harmony among the local demo

Election in April to Be Last
Chance for. Unregistered
Voters in Kenosha.
OLD LISTS TO Be DESTROYER
After December / no One Will Be Al
lowed to Vote in City Without He
Has Personally Registered as an EIec-
tcr-No Registration This Spring.

The election that is to be held in
April will be the last election in Ke-
nosha in which the unregistered voter
will have chance to take part as
the state law provides that regis
.tration of electors shall be held before
the general election to be held on the
first Tuesday in November and after
that there will registration in Ke-
nosha before every election.
The law has given the council tho
right to eliminate registrations before
city elections in the past, but after
the first of December of this year
when the law in regard to the voting
of aliens goes into effect all will be
changed. Next spring a Al general
registration Of the voters of the city
will be made and at this registration
the election officials will not be
permitted to copy the old lists of
names. The registration must be
made by voters who take enough in
terest in the affairs of the city to go
to the various polling places and see
to it that their names are on the poll
ing lists After that time the alien
residents of the city in order to be
given the right to cast their votes
must bring with them to the polls a
copy Of their second papers and the
election officials will have full power
to demand the exhibition of these
papers before the vote is received.
The registration lists in Kenosha
are in fearful condition. They con-
tain the names of men long dead, Of
reople who have not lived in Keno
sha for ten years and Of foreigners
who never even took out their first
papers. 1t will be lot of work for
the election officials to purge these
lists of the Illegal voters and there
will undoubtedly be a lot Of prosecu-
lions Of people who seek the vote un-
der old registrations.
The voters who fail to register will
still be given chance to vote by
affidavit, but the conditions under which
these affdavits may be made have
been made lot more rigid and it is
not expected that there will be a
large number of voters who will be
willing to go through all of the red
tape necessary to cast a ballot. In the
past the making of affdavits has been
made easy on account of the fact that
the various party committees have had
scores of afidavits prepared. Under
the new law the afidavits must be
taken out by the voter himself and
he is forced to find his own free
holders to sign them and appear with
him at the polls and qualify as
ELECTORS.

CAPTURED IN MONTANA.
Kenosha Boy Who Escaped From wau-
kesha Institution Caught.

John Mutto, Kenosha Dov four
teen years Of age, who is alleged to
have been che leader Of a gang Of in
mates of the state reformatory for
boys, who escaped last September, has
been captured at Anaconda, Mont.
and is now on his way back to the
Waukesha institution AT the time of
his capture the Kenosha boy was on
his way to the geld fields of Alaska.
The two other boys who escaped with
Mutto are still at large and Mutto has
declined to make any statement in re-
gard to them. He refused to give the
officials any information as to the
manner in which he got SO far from
the institution. The Kenosha police
received notice on Thursday that Nut
to had been located but they were
urged to continue the search for Earl
Letsom, a Kenosha county inmate of
the institution who has now been
missing for more than a month and of
whom no trace has been found. The
police here have Kept close watch
for Letsom but he has nos returned to
Kenosha.

MAY CALL SPECIAL SESSION.
County Board May Be Called to Pro-
vide Office for New County Official.

County Board May Be Called to Pro-
vide Office for New County Official.
It is probable that Chairman Adolph
Burg will be forced to call special
session of the county board in order to
provide an Office for the use OF Joseph
E. Dalton, as assessor of incomes for
Kenosha county. The attorney general
has held that it is the duty of the
county board to provide an office for
this official and the office must be To-
Gated at the county seat. The furniture
demanded for the office will bring an
expenditure of more than hundred
dollars and the chairman Of the board
and the county agent have no power to
make such an expenditure. Efforts will
be made to secure an agreement from
members of the board for the payment
of the costs of intalling the new official
in an office in Kenosha and if these
agreements cannot be made a special
meeting Of the board will be called.
The cost Of holding the special meeting
viii be almost as great as the cost OF
fitting up the office.

1T will be good news to the parents
of the children in the schools that the
school authorities are convinced that
there is now no serious danger of an
epidemic of scarlet fever or other con-
tagious disease in any of the buildings.
The prompt enforcement of stringent
quarantine regulations on the appear
ance Of an unusual number of cases
of the fever in the city and county
which was made possible largely through
the efficient work of the visiting nurse
has proven effective in checking the
spread of contagious diseases in the
schools. There was need of prompt
action, but it was taken quietly and
most efficiently and one Of the results
must be an. added confidence on the
part of the parents in the ability of
the school authorities to handle any
situation which may arise in the
future and to safeguard the health of
the children in the schools at all
times The contention of the visiting
nurse and the heads Of the schools
that the great majority Of the children
arc safer in the school rooms than they
arr if allowed to remain at home
through fear that they may contract
some disease is borne out by the facts.

EAGLES HAVE GREAT TIME.
~
Members Of Kenosha Aerie and Wives
and Sweethearts Hold, Masquerade. :.

One of the prettiest parties ever given
in Kenosha was given at Gernnania hall
Thursday evening under the auspices
of the Kenosha Aerie Of Eagles. It was
a fancy dress party and more than three
hundred Of the members of the aerie
and their wives and sweethearts were
present. Most Of the dancers were mask
ed and there were lot of decidedly
beautiful costumes. The grand march
which took place at eleven o'clock was
one of the greatest pageants ever seen
at mask ball in Kenosha.
There were many visitors from other
cities, large delegations comng from
Racine, Milwaukee and Lake Geneva.
Supper was served at midnight and
after supper the dancing continued un.
til early morning.
The party was one of the most en-
,ioyable ever given under the auspices
of the local Eagles and the success of
it reflects great credit upon the COM
mittee in charge Of the arrangements,

Men Interested in Religious
Education of Boys to
Meet at Y. NJ. C. A.
LEADING WORKERS TO SPEAK

Religious workers of the city, who
are interested in the problem of adj
vancing the interests of boys, have
been called to take part in confer
ence to be held at the z. M. G. A.
building on Saturday and Sunday I'M
der the auspices of the boys commit
tee Of the Men and Religion Forward
Movement. The conference is called
for the purpose of devising plans for
interesting the older boys in the .ork
of the church. One of the pertinent
questions to be discussed is "Why
are Three Boys Out of Church While
One is In?"
1t is expected that the conference
will bring some results and one of
the proposed results of the conference
will be the organization of training
class for teachers which will not be
connected with any of the churches Of
the city but open to all workers of
the Sunday schools and the organiza-
ton of school for older boys in
order that they may be instructed as
to the best methods for teaching the
younger boys. The program for the
conference follows:
Saturday evening, $3.50, supper for
teachers of boys classes and pastors.
Discussion on ssChurch Work With
Older Boys afterward, led by Mr..
Wones, state. boys secretary at Y.

Sunday afternoon, $3.50, address by
Mr. Cartwright of Racine, to teachers
and adults of churches, at Y. M. G. A.

MAY REVIVE OLD FIGHT.
People in Rural Districts of County
Still After Training School.

People residing in the rural dis4
tricts Of Kenosha county are still
busy promoting sentiment in favor OF
a training schoof fer the teachers of
the county and it is pretty certain
that the proposition downed at the
November meeting of the county
board will come up for consideration
again at the meeting of the board
to be elected in April. 1t is not inn
probable that the county training
school proposition will be made some
thing Of an issue in the spring cam
paign in several Of the towns. Peti-
tons are to be sent into the various
school districts early in the spring
with a view of having the people OF
the county show the members OF The
board just how they feel ON the qres-
ton of the training school. 1t IS prob
able that the state department will
also take some part in the campaign
for the school and it is pretty certain
that provision for state aid will be
made at any time the county board
agrees to open the school.

Failure to Improve the Lake
Shore Road Due to Lack of
Interest in Kenosha.
MILWAUKEE, READY TO ACT
Merchants Of Kenosha Have Shown no
Interest in Repeated Meetings Called
to Consider Good Road Propositions.
No Money in Sight in Kenosha

Leading movers in the Chicago Mil
waukee Road association have met the
complaints of Racine and Kenosha mer-
chants against the proposed improve
ment Of the Kilbourne road with the
declaration that the road was select
led only, after the merchants of the
larger cities along the lake shore
showed absolutely no interest in plans
that had been made to improve the lake
shore road through Kenosha and Ra-
cine. Theodore Borup, manager Of the
Hotel Borup and himself one of the
most active members of the road as
ISOLATION, declared this morning. that
any criticism Of the Milwaukee organs
cation was unfair. II know the con-
ditions better than any man in Keno
sha. President Cannon of the Milwaukee
organization has repeatedly come to
Kenosha and brought with him mem
bers of the Milwaukee Merchants and
Manufacturers association, with a view
of interesting the Kenosha merchants
in the improving of the lake shore road,
but he has not been able to get even
a hearing from the merchants Of Ken
osha. The same thing has been true in
Racine. The two cities seem to have
taken absolutely no interest in the
raising Of funds for the building Of
the road and the absolute lack of in
terest in the project shown in the cit
les has forced the men behind the
road movement to go to the town chair
men of rural towns with an idea of Sc
curing the cooperation which they had
expected, but which they failed to
find in the cities along the lake shore
road. I am convinced that even at this
late hour if the merchants of Racine
and Kenosha are willing to take an
interest in the improvement of the lake
shore road that the Milwaukee associ-
alton will be only too glad to take up
the matter. However, if the money for
the improvement of the road is to be
raised entirely outside of Kenosha the
merchants here must not expect that
the Milwaukee association will furnish
tbs money and then improve road into
Kenosha when it is possible for them
to improve road at much less cost to
the west of the two lake shore cities. -
On few days Sgo President Can
mon sought to secure some conference
with Kenosha people in ragrd to the
proposed road, but these people seem to
have lost all interest in the matter. The
Chicago association is decidedly busy
planning for the Improvement OF the
Sheridan drive and it is declared that
this road will be converted into boul-
evard from Chicago to the state line.
At the state line the road will have to
be run west to meet the Kilbourne road
if the plans Of the Milwaukee associa-
ton are not changed. It is possible that
a new effort will be made to get the
Kenosha business men interested in the
proposed Improvement Of the lake shore
lroad.

HOLD BENrs FOR TRIAL.
Man Charged With Criminal Assault
Bound Over to the Circuit Court.

Frank Benis, arrested a week ago On
charges of criminally asaulting Mrs.

Oak street, was brought before Judge
Randall this morning for a prelimi-

court under bonds of $500. lie re-
turned to Jail, but friends expect to
furnish bail for him later. The woman
who is more than fifty years of age,
was the principal witness for the state
and she told sensational story of
the alleged assault. The attorney for
the defendant did not call him to the
stand
