FEW VOTE ON BOND ISSUES
Third Ward is Tied Oil Trunk Sewer
Project and Third, Fourth and Fifth
Wards Voted Against the Breakwater
Bonds Council may act at Once.

The proposed trunk sewer for the
north and northwest sides Of the city
and the building of a breakwater to
protect the north end OF Lake avenue
were given luke warm endorsement
by the electors of the city on Tuesday
when the council was authorized to is
sue bonds for both projects. Less
than fifteen hundred votes were cast
for the two questions and the sewer
bond question carried by a majority
Of 2S9 while the breakWater bond is
sue was endorsed by majority Of
270. There was no sectional feeling
shown in the vote on the questions.
The project to issue bonds for the sew.
er was endorsed in every ward except
the third and here the vote for and
against the question was tied. The
breakwater bond issue failed of en-
dorsement in the third, fourth and fifth
wards, but large majorities in favor
of it in the north wards made the vic
tory an easy one. The vote on the
bend issues was not unanimous one
by any means in the north wards and
as much favor was shown the project
in some of the south wards as in the
wards to be directly benefit.
With the vote of the people in fav-
or of the two bond issues it will be
possible for the city council to pro-
coed at once to issue bonds for the
sewer and for the breakwater, but it
will probably be some time before this
action is taken and there is little rea-
son to believe that the sewer will Be
completed this year. The plans for it
are not as yet completed and it is pos
slble that some big engineering prob
lens will be encountered before the
plans are ready. No bonds can be is
sued until the plans have been adopt
ed by the council It is expected that
the cost Of the sewer will be well with
in the $4,000.
The project of the breakwater will
probably be rushed through as soon as
possible as the demand for the break
water is immediate.
The vote on the two questions in the
several wards Of the city follows:

COMMISSION LOSES IN RACINE.
Mayor W. S. Goodland Reelected and
Old Form of Government to Continuo.

Racine turned down the proposition
to adopt the commission form of gov
ernment at the election held on Tues
day by majority of 454 votes after
one of the hardest campaigns ever
known in the history of thatcity. The
matter had been threshed out for more
than six months in Racine and the
vote on the question was even greater
than the vote cast for city officials.
Mayor Walter S. Goodland was re-
elected to office over William Stoffel
by small plurality and Charles Ryba
defeated the present city clerk Leslie
Fowler for reelection. One of the big
fights in Racine county was the cleo
tion of county judge and this office
was given to Walter G. Palmer. Mr..
Palmer had the action support of a
large number of the members of the
bar in Racine county.

it with Joseph W. Trlly and wen by
the largest majority Of any of the al
dermanic candidates.
In the fourth ward John Anderson
realized his long cherished ambition of
being a member Of the common coun-
ell, defeating Alderman Lyman j.
Starr by GA votes. William Kaufman,
the one socialist candidate for alder
man, was defeated in the fifth ward
by Emil Mueller, but the vote was
close, Mueller having margin of but
16 votes. In the sixth ward Joseph
Loef defeated Fred w. Boyer by 20
votes The defeat of Alderman Werner
in the seventh ward had been forecast
ed at the primary election and John
Joachim, the successful candidate, had
majority larger than the total vote
cast for Werner. The hot aldermanic
contest in the eighth ward resulted in
August Barth defeating Charles Stein
bach by Is votes.
The voting of the women for the
office of school commissioner made the
contests for this Office the more excit-
ing and many votes were registered by
the women in all of the wards. The
second ward led in the voting among
the women with total of 50 wom-
an 5 votes. The vote on the ward

These were the winners IN the city
election held in Kenosha on Tuesday
and the election brought many changes
to the municipal bodies Of kenosha
and to the county board.
IT was an unusual election. The
total vote cast in the city fell off
more than 1900 from the number cast
at the city election held year ago
and although important questions VI
bond issues were submitted to the
people for referendum vote these
questions failed to get better than a
scant majority Of the vote cast for
the officials.
Joseph N. Meyer had an easy vic
tory in his race for the long term as
assessor, getting the record vote cast
Of 1871 and carrying every ward in
the city with the exception Of the
fourth ward the home ward of his
opponent, Julius t. Pabst. John W..
Stevens, who was elected for the
term as assessor by a majority of 40
votes carried every ward over Victor
Eppler with the exception of Epplers
home ward, the third.
The judicial election attracted lit
lie attention on account of the fact
that the sitting judges had no opposi-
ton, but Judge E. B. Belden, Judge
G. 4. Randall and Judge George w.
Taylor were all given generous en-
dorsement in the city. The fact that
there was no opposition caused many
people to overlook the judicial ballot
entirely.
William Kittle, candidate for state
superintendent, had slight lead over
6. r. Cary in the city ard this is at
tributed to the fact that his name ap-
peared first on the ballot. The lead
was small one and it was expected
that it would be overcome when re-
turns from the towns in the county
are taken up by the official canvass
ing board.
The figures for the various candi-
dates in the different wards in the
city will be found in the table on this
page.
1t was the aldermanic fights that ex-
cited the most attention and these
lSept the interest in the returns run
ming high.
Alderman L. J. Sullivan had an easy
race in the first ward, defeating Harry
S. Brown by a majority of 81 votes
In the second ward Conrad Shearer had
50 votes the better Of George Har-
kins and in the third Alderman Her
bert Thomey made runaway race of
