Leader of Taft Forces
Spends Sunday With
Uncle in Kenosha.
CAMPAIGN IS ENCOURAGING

Kenosha was real political center
for few hours Sunday when David
w. Mulvane of Topeka, Kas., chair
man of the Taft Republican campaign
committee registered as guest at
the Pennoyer sanitarium. It soon be-
came known that the leader of the
Taft forces was at the Kenosha SAM
tarium and the report spread about
that his strenuous work in the cam
palgn had forced him to retire for a
rest. This was promptly denied at
the sanitarium and it was stated that
Chairman Mulvane had come to Ke-
nosha simply with the plan of spend
ing the day with his uncle, John Null
vane, prominent banker Of Topeka,
who is spending portion of the sum-
mer at the sanitarium Mr.. Mulvane
was accompanied by his wife and the
two returned to Chicago late Sunday
afternoon and Chairman Mulvane was
back at his desk early this morning.
During his stay in Kenosha he kept in
constant touch with the Chicago head
quarters of the Republican party.
Chairman Mulvane was not talking
politics and he admitted that he came
to Kenosha to get away from the stir
ring times Of the campaign if only
for few hours. However, he in
timated to some of his friends at the
sanitarium that the campaign was
moving along in manner to be de-
cidedly encouraging to the Taft
forces. It is expected that Chairman
Mulvane will spend many of his Sun
days in Kenosha during the remain
der Of the campaign and that his com
ing to Kerosha will make the city the
Sunday resting place Of many of the
mer prominent in the leadership of
the Republican party.
