County Clerk Gets More Or
ders in Regard to Ballot
For Delegates.
LAFOLLETTE is PREFERRED

The original plan for the printing
Of the ballots for the election Of dele
gates to the national Republican and
| Democratic conventions must be fol
lowed in Kenosha county as follow
ing an order received from the .secre-
tary Of state on Monday morning di-
recting that designations be placed on
the ballot County Clerk Jones called
up the secretary Of state and told him
that he was unable to find any desig-
nation for certain Of the delegates.
Secretary Frear informed the clerk
that the state had certified to the
county clerk all the information that
| it possessed in regard to the dele
gates and that the names Oil the bal
lots must be placed with the designa-
tion found on the information sent
out on last Saturday. This means
that the men who are pledged to vote
for Senator LaFollette will appear on
the ballot with the wording aLaFol-
lette Delegate under their names and
those for Wilson will have similar
designation on the Democratic ballot.
Absolutely no designation will be plac-
ed under the names of the men who
are named as Taft and Clark dele
gates. This is the original plan out
| lined by Secretary Frear and the plan
against which there has been a decid-
ed objection from all parts of the
state. The secretary of state in his
| telephone statement declared that he
had no further information in regard
| to the other names to go on the ticket
1t is possible that the matter will
get into courts and that the court will
be asked to enioin the clerks in all
parts Of the state from issuing ballots
lprinted in this matter. Another pos.
sibiIitv is that there will be a contest
launched on the floor of the two con-
ventions.
fhe name of Mayor NJ. ]. scholey
who was selected as Clark delegate
from the first district, does not appear
