KEARNEY TO ouH BAnE-
Racine Man Declares Democrats Must
Hold Convention or He quits Race.

Southern Wisconsin viii probably
not furnish candidate for the demo
cratic nomination for United States
senator as Thomas NJ. Kearney OF
Racine has declared that he will be
out of the race unless a democratic
convention is held in Wisconsin and
the leaders of the party have declar-
ed against the convention.
"No convention no candidacy -
was the way Mr.. Kearney, Racine, put
it, when he was asked what effect the
action of the democrotic state central
committee would have on his entrance
into the race for United States sena.
tor. But he added that he is willing ia
consult with democrats gathered in
some way other than by call OF
the committee.
eff no convention is held, I vii,
not be candidate he said. 81
have been in favor of conventions, tc
discuss the party situation and suggest
to the electors candidates, thought tt
be worthy of attention, and I still be
ieve in that principle. !"
Mr.. Kearney said he had not dis
cussed with anybody any plan for q
democratic state mass meeting.
Thunder the law, of course, the com
mittee has no authority to determine
whether there will be a state conven
tion or not, or to call one,'' he con
tinued. "Tke state central committee
is acting merely as matter of con.
venienee. So / think the excitement
over the meeting of the committee is
somewhat III advised. If a conven-
ton should be called, I would take the
same attitude I did before-I would
advise with the delegates, and then
determine whether to be candidate
or not. took the position that if ]
were to be candidate, I wanted the
advice of the democrats Of the state
but I am not seeking the office.''

DEATH OF JACOB MELBUscH.
Well Known Resident Of the City Died
Suddenly at Home on Garden st.

suddenly at Home on Garden st.
Jacob Melbusch, aged 40 years, for
many years an employee of the n. R.
Allen Sons company and a resident Of
the city for more than quarter Of a
century died very suddenly at his home
on Garden street just before ten o'clock
Sunday evening. Death resulted from
acute heart disease and it is probable
that it was fastened by the intense
heat of Sunday. Mr.. Melbusch had
beer, seemingly in usual health during
the day. He had retired just after nine
0 clock Sunday evening and when his
son Joseph who occupied the same room
went to the room he found his father
sitting on the edge of the bed. He
complained of feeling faint. A little
while later he fell over to the floor and
when the son reached him he was dead
A post norton was held over the re-
mains this morning and this indicated
death from acute heart disease. Mr.
Melbusch was native of Germany but
he came to Kenosha more than twenty
five years ago and had since resided in
the city. He is survived by three sons,
Lawrence of Woodstock, Canada; Joseph
and Raymond of Kenosha, and one
daughter, Wilhelmina of Kenosha.
Announcement of the time of the fun
eral will be made on Tuesday.

not FOLLOWING WILSON PLAN
Racine Man Who Is Candidate For
United States Senate Makes Strong
Arrangement Of Party Leaders Who
Refused to Call Convention.

|
Thomas NJ. Kearney of Racine, is
not going to give up his ambition to
go to the United States senate from
Wisconsin without fight and he hurl-
ed defiance to the democratic leaders in
a statement issued on Saturday even
| ing. Mr.. Kearney has announced that
he will not be candidate for the
| democratic nomination unless state
convention of the party is held and he
{ is now the active leader of party
which is seeking to secure a state con
ference on candidates Many promi-
lnent democrats of Kenosha county are
supporting the stand taken by Mr..
Kearney. Mr.. Kearney' IS statement
| follows:
The action of the democratic state
central committee was an obvious and
lundisguised attempt on the part of fed
eral oficeholders, present and prospec-
tive, contrary to established party dis
cipline and without the sanction or
| knowledge of President Wilson, to
build up in Wisconsin a personal poll
tical machine to be manipulated
| from Madison in the interest of fac
tional politics.
In taking the action referred to
the state central committee attempted
without the semblance Of power or
authority to abrogate party rules, re-
verse party policies and to dictate to
the party in this state what its course
of conduct shall be in the future.
Voted by Proxies.
In order that the plan made might
t be carried out, the committee, contrary
to right and to the law, voted by prox-
lies who are elective officers. One of
these gentlemen is and for many
months has been beyond the seas, oc-
cupying lucrative position secured
for him it is said through the activi-
I ties of the gentlemen who directed the
proceedings referred to. If that sort
Eof action is justifable. then it is that
one can readily consider of party con-
troll entirely through nonresident fed
eral oficeholders voting by proxy.
Grover Cleveland, voicing general
public demand, established the rule for
the democratic party in this country
and in a general way for the country as
well, that postmasters, revenue collec-
tors, foreign ministers, consuls and
concular agents holding positions under
the government, shall keep aloof from
attempting to control political action
in the states. That policy, corrective
of carpetbag and federal interference
in party politics, has long since receiv-
ed the unqualified sanction and approx
al Of right-thinking people everywhere.
Measured by this rule, the action
at Milwaukee last Monday taken at
the suggestion OF a federal ofhceholder
who is reaching after another Office
while tenaciously clinging to the one
he now occupies, is agair It an enlight-
ened public policy, indicate in the
highest degree, and deserving of the
censure Of the members Of our party
everywhere. Finally, the action should
be disregarded, a convention Of the
party held, and a repetition of the ac-
tion attempted at Milwaukee should be
rendered impossible for all future
time -

X
Herman H. Roloff son of Herman
Rolof, IA Lyman avenue, won his
spurs as one of Uncle Sans fighting
force at the taking of Vera Cruz and
his name is mentioned in the report Of
Admiral Fletcher as shown above.
Rolof is one of the two Wisconsin
men mentioned in the report Of Adj
miral Fletcher, the other man from
Wisconsin being A. de Somer of Mil
waukee, chief turret captain of the
battleship Utah.
There was great rejoicing among the
relatives and friends of Roloff today
when it became known that the young
man had been mentioned for con-
spicious acts of bravery" in the report
of the admiral to the secretary of war;
Young Roloff has been in the navy for
only little over three years and in
this time he has won rapid advance
ment. He is now twenty-four years
of age and with a record of bravery
in action he is certain to be given
more rapid advancement. Roloff is a
modest hero for while his work at
Vera Cruz was deemed worthy of a
place in the formal report of the adj
miral in his own letters to his rela-
tives at home he made no especial
mention Of himself in telling Of the
battle which resulted in the Americans
taking Vera Cruz. In these letters he
gave high praise to the Blue Jackets
of the navy for their bravery shown
at the taking of Vera Cruz and re-
ferred to himself only as one of the
men who had been privileged to have
q part in the advance of the American
troops.
Rolof was born at Whitewater, but
he has spent much Of his life in Ke-
nosha and was educated in the schools
4 Kenosha. He enlisted in the navy
from Chicago and was selected for a
place on the flagship Arkansas on ac-
count Of the high standing he had
maintained since he entered the navy.
l.He is now coxswain on the Arkansas
and is in direct line for advancement.
Admiral Fletcher, in speaking of the
bravery of De Somer, the other Wis
consin man said: son the afternoon
of April q he was placed in charge Of
q small squad of men and stationed at
the corner Of warehouse to eastward
Of the custom house. His position was
subject to a severe fire from the build
ings along Ayenida Landerosy Cos,
and after several hours of well direct
ed fire he silenced it. On April %,
when general advance began, he was
sent ahead to locate and silence fire
from snipers. Being an excellent
markesman and notably cool he was
especially selected for this work. Lat
err when two sections of artillery were
sent to join Capt. Anderson's com
mand, he performed similar services,
and was almost continually under di-
rect fire from snipers. His services
in this connection were of more value
than whole squad"

DEATH CHEATS FEDERAL ORDER
Eugene Matzoi Who Was Ordered De

cAsWELL CARRIES THE COUNTY,
No Well Organized Effort Against
Him and Many Republicans Help

1t is difficult TO predict with any
thing like absolute accuracy the re-
suit of the general election held on
Yesterday. The vote, however, ap-
pcars 10 show that the trend OF Amer
ican thought is toward the republican
party and that in two years it will be
completely rehabilitated and in the
saddle again. The Roosevelt senti-
ment has largely evaporated except
in certain localities. The vote in the
eastern states clearly shows that the
seal of condemnation of the voters
was placed upon the present admins
tration. Woodrow Wilson will dis
cover great difficulty to find any con-
ISOLATION in the vote of yesterday.
New York elected republican gov
ernor, which places the state in the
republican column. Pennsylvania re-
turned to the United States senate

him. Colonel Roosevelt travelled up
