SOCIALISTS EXPECT BIG GAINS,
Campaign Will be Delayed Until After
City Election in the Spring.

Campaign Will be Delayed Until After
City Election in the Spring.
A meeting of the executive CONT.
tee of the social democratic party was
held at Brisbane hall, Milwaukee, on
Sunday, to elect officers and discuss
plans for a campaign in the state.
Miss E. II. Thomas was reelected
secretary and Charles B. Whitnall was
reelected treasurer. The committee
consists of Mayor Emil Seidel, Carl
D. Thompson, Harvey Dee Brown,
Miss Thomas and Mr.. Witnail.
The date for the state convention
was liked at June IA and Is, in Mil
waukee. 1t was announced after the
meeting that the reports received from
the state as to the growth of the party
outside of Milwaukee county are all
favorable. No work of moment along
the lines of the state campaign will
be taken up until after the spring cleo
ton in Milwaukee, when the state
campaign will be taken up and pushed
vigorously. The Socialists believe
that they will be able to elect mem
bers in several counties and increase
their representation in the lower house
of the legislature over that of 1911,
when they had twelve members all
from Milwaukee.

Members Of Volunteer Fire
Department Plan to Hold
Reunion This Year.
CID OFFICERS ARE REELECTED
Only Twenty three of the Old-Time
Fire Fighters Brave Cold Weather to
Attend Annual Meeting Held at the
Council Chamber Monday Night.

Ihe annual meeting of the Volun-
teer FIRE department of the city was
held at the council chamber in the city
nall on Monday evening and the fact
That the older fire fighters are losing
interest in the organization was shown
by the fact that but twenty-three of
the forty-six members were present.
Ihere was no business of Importance
TO come before the volunteers and no
one had the nerve to spring the old
boyle of disbanding so that the meet
ing went off without ripple of ex-
cltement. George Wallis, who has
served as president of the volunteers
Tor years, was i'll and unable to be
present at the annual meeting and
Vice President Goodman presided.
The main matter to come up was
the discussion of the proposed plans
Tor a general reunion of the volun-
teers. This matter was taken up a
year ago, but the committee named to
make provisions for a banquet and re-
union had failed to mature the plans
on account of the fact that when they
got ready to act in the matter they
found that there was not sufficient
money IN the treasury to provide for
the feast planned. The committee was
continued with DR.. j. I'll. Veitch as the
chairman and it was instructed to see
to 1t that the reunion is arranged for
this year. 1t is probable that the
banquet will be held some time in No
vember and the committee will seek
to have present at that meeting all
of the men who have been actively
connected with the fire department in
the days when the volunteers reigned
supreme.
1t is thought that lot of interest
ing early stories of Kenosha can be
brought up by bringing the old time
fire fighters together and efforts will be
made to have some of the old time
fire fighters Of surrounding cities pres
ent for the reunion. The banquet will

NO ICE FAMINE NEXT YEAR.
INDEPENDENT Ice Co. Begins Work of
Putting Up Record Crop.

There is not going to be any ice
famine in Kenosha next summer as
the work of cutting ice for The Keno
sha people has been started on Twin
Lakes and with ice twenty inches
thick it is certain that within a short
time the houses will be so well filed
as to insure plenty of the frozen pro-
duet for next year. The Chicago com
panies are all busy in the lake regions
of the county and every employment
agency in Chicago is sending men to
this county in order to make it posi-
bic for the work to be pushed with
all possible vigor. There is a short
age of freight cars to handle the ice.
but the railway companies are getting
cars into the district as rapidly as pos
sible. The cold weather came almost
without warning and the railways
were not prepared for handling the
big ice business

CHANCE FOR KENsHA
Ward Clemens, Democratic
Committeeman, Quits the
State and Committee.
MAY SELECT SUCCESSOR

Ward G. Clemens, of Racine, Demo
cratic state central committeeman for
this district, retired from the news
paper business in Racine Saturday
night.
lie is considering propositions made
to him by Chicago bonding concern
and another by a Milwaukee corpor-
alton, and it is probable that he will
accept one or the other shortly.
This will leave the first compression
al district without representation on
the Democratic state central commit
tee until it meets in Milwaukee some
time this month.
No one has been mentioned as Mr..
Clemens successor, but there is no
doubt that an effort will be made to
secure an active committeeman, be-
cause of the "hope' which springs
eternal in the Democratic breast and
which says now that at last we have
q chance or perhaps it would be bet
ter to put it this way: "Have we a
chance?"
The Racine Times says:
Kenosha county probably will be
honored with the appointment. There
lis a bunch of young Democrats down
there who are making some noise,
while, as matter Of fact, Demo
crat in Racine must travel as far as
Milwaukee if he wants to do, little
political tanning.
Thomas Jefferson certainly would
Be a lonesome parsonage if he came
to Racine for visit with the party he
is supposed to have bequeathed to this
country.
The reception committee would
have TO be ''Tom' Kearney, Clarence
Snyder, Michael Higgins, Charles
freeman and George Herzog, and
plates for six would do for the ban
quet.
The opening gun of the Wisconsin
campaign in support of the candidacy
of Gov. Woodrow Wilson of New Jer7
sey for the Democratic presidential
nomination will be fred about the
middle of the month, at Madison
conference, according to the word
that is now being passed about.
Leading Democrats of the state will
be invit d to attend. John A. Ayl-
ward, boss of the Democratic ma
chine, will be in charge.
The fact that the conference is to
be held at the capital, Aylward' s home
city, and not at Milwaukee, where
these outbursts Of the faithful usually
are touched off, is regarded by politi-
clans who have been following the
Wisconsin situation as being signifi-
cant. Some of the wise ones would
not be surprised if it developed that
Awkward hash It everything his own
way IL this matter and is keeping as
far as possible out of the way of the
Milwaukee outfit that for some time
has been chatting under the dictation
Of the Aylward Schultz Davies combi-
nation.

The annual report of State Bank
Commissioner A. E. Kuolt shows that
all of the institutions under the super
vision Of his department. are in a very
satisfactory condition. During the
year considerable increases in capital
stock have been made bysmany Of the
banks and trust companies and there
has been steady growth in deposits
which reflects the increasing prospect
ty of the people of the state. His
recommendation that the foreign trust
companies doing business in the state
be compelled to pay taxes i'm some
form which will place them on a par
at least with the home companies is
likely to receive favorable considera-
tion at the next session of the legis-
lature, 1t is poor business policy to
put burdens on local institutions that
are not borne by outside concerns
which propose to compete with them
for business.

MRS. MARGARET M'GIvERN DEAD
Pioneer Woman of City Died at Her
Home on Market Street Monday.


Home on Market Street Monday.
Mrs. Margaret McGivern, widow of
the late John McGivern, and one of the
pioneer women of Kenosha died at
her home, 61S Market street, just be-
fore midnight Monday night. Death
was due to advanced age. Mrs. Nc
Givern had been in failing health for
some time and her death was not I'M
expected to her close friends and rel
atives.
Mrs. McGivern was a native of Coun-
ty Downs, Ireland, and was daughter
of the late John Craney, one of the
early settlers of this county. She came
to Kenosha to make her home in 1875
and since that time had resided in the
city. She is survived by seven chill
dren, John, Bernard, Patrick, James,
Charles, Mary and Michael McGivern,
all of Kenosha.
The funeral will be held from st.
James church on Thursday morning,
the hour to be announced later.

men, Supervisor Of Health and Abo-'
iition of All Railway Grade Crossings
Gloucester County Democrat., 1912-01-11

tenement house legislation and our eni-
ployers' liability act, but we have not
done enough. Our workmen very just
ly demand further legislation with re-
gard to the inspection and regulation
Of factories and worh shops. and rec
ommend legislation OF this kind ii, your
very careful and earnei;t consideration.
I recommend, moreover, the passage
at an early date of an act requiring
the railways operating within this state
to provide their trains with adequate
crews. Our sister state of Pennsyl-
yania has adopted legislation of this
kind, and the railways whose lines
cross from Pennsylvania into New Jer-
sey actually carry full crews to the
border of this state and then send their
trains on through New Jersey with di-
minished crews, to the jeopardy, as
believe. of life and property, requiring
more of the small crew than it can
safely and thoroughly do.
The abolition Of grade crossings, too,
as rapidly as possible under the direc>
ton of the board of public utilities
commissioners is an imperative neces-
sity if the lives of our citizens are to
be properly safeguarded. However diff
fcult it may be to effect the changes
needed in this matter feel it to be a
question of the very greatest moment
The loss of life at grade crossings in
this state has been very great, quite
inexeusably great, and there is no re-
form which public opinion more clear
~ or more justly demands than this.
Possibly it is not necessary to draw
your attention to this important mat
ter to which the public opinion of the
state has been now for so long time
turned. 1t is not to be wondered at
that opinion has grown very critical
and very impatient of the delay in
dealing with it.
The report of the commissioner Of
public roads urges some changes in the
road law, for which / bespeak your
very careful consideration They are
intended to render the present system
of administration more efficient, to re-
move the care of improved roads en-
tirely from politics and to establish a
definite system of highways. The
changes in the conditions of road traf-
fic in recent years certainly render
many alterations in the existing law
very desirable, if not imperative.
These are all matters of serious bust
ness. and 1t will be great pleasure to
me to be associated with you in trying
to fulfill our obligations in regard to
them in manner that will satisfy the
just expectation of those who have in
trusted to our care the interests and
the welfare of this great state.

MUST CARRY GOOD WATCHES
Railroad Men Are Compelled to Use
Accurate Timepieces.

Railroad Men Are Compelled to Use
Accurate Timepieces.
1t may be news to many that tho
watch of the railroad man is as nec
essary in modern railroading as the
air brake. Without accurate time
keeping there would probably be more
accidents than it there we're no air
brakes. The train dispatcher starts q
train at a certain time; he halts it at
certain stations at certain times; he
side tracks it for period of varying
length: the watch of the conductor on
the side tracked train must agree with
the watch of the conductor on the ex-
press to which he had to give way;
each station master along the road
checks the time of every train that
stops or flies past
In order that there may be agree
ment among all these railroad men
there must obviously be not only time
pieces. but accurate timepieces. There
must also be some means of inspect
ing the timepieces to see if they are
accurate and if they agree with some
standard. The railroad man is there
fore compelled to buy not simply an
ordinary watch of reasonable value.
but particularly good watch. time
piece which is adjusted to heat, cold
and at least three positions. These
three positions are pendant up, as
carried in the pocket; dial up and dial
down Such an instrument will not
vary more than thirty seconds week,
which Is good deal more accurate
than many scientific Instruments of
precision used in laboratories Even
human proneness TO error is consid-
cred in this matter of choosing good
railroad watch. for lever set watch
is preferred to the pendant set watch
because there is just the chance that
the stem of the pendant set may not
be pushed back after setting through
an oversight.
On one great line about 5000
watches. worth on an average Of $25
apiece Ca low average,. are used. II
we take inro consideration the number
of watches that are used On other
roads throughout the country 1t is
evident that the value must run up
into hundreds of thousands of dollars.
In order that the watch may be kept
up to regular standard it must be
inspected regularly There is not only
a general time inspector on most rail
roads. but staff of local inspectors
who are placed along the road at con-
venient points and to whom the men
may resort when they wish to COM
pare their time with the standard time
at that place. Once every two weeks
the railroad man submits his watch to
such an Inspector. usually jeweler
or matchmaker by profession
The inspector gives his expert opin-
ion on the condition Of the timepiece.
II it needs cleaning he says SO and
does it; If it is fast or slow he regu-
lates it. and not until it is running
with sufficient accuracy is 1t allowed
to escape from his care. A watch's
record is kept as if 1t were a thief. So
far as repairing goes. the railroad man
isdunder no compulsion. He need not
hand over his watch TO any particular
matchmaker or inspector for repair,
but be can give it to any matchmaker
in whom be has confidence. 1t must.
however, be submitted to the in
spector before it can be usel in actual
service.

An agreement was reached yester-
day afternoon between the attorneys
for Alexandria City and those of AL
eXandria and Fairfax counties by
which the preliminary motions in ref
erence to the annexation suit will be
