DOPE OUT TICKETS ALREADY
Scott and Stahl Are Picked to Win Out
in the Primary Campaign-Watcn-
ing State Fight With Greater Inter
est in Kenosha County.

The candidates for state, legislative
and county nominations started out on
the final lap of the primary campaign
this morning and for the next seven
days there is going to be one grand eff
fort on the part of the candidates to
have the campaign wind up in a blaze
of glory. There is going to be a lot
OF politics in the county in the coming
week and the candidates will pene-
trate toNthe farthest corners of the
county in an effort to start something.
Political leaders are beginning to
take an invoice of the claims of the
candidates and to make predictions as
to the outcome. The wise ones declare
that Scott is the favorite in the race
for the nomination for sheriff on the
republican ticket, but Lynch is hard
at work and Doctor Monroe insists that
be will have to be counted on when
the votes are in on the first day of
September. These same wise ones pick
Andy Stahl to defeat Silvernail and
Andrew Anderson in the democratic
primaries. Silvernail is said to be very
strong in the western part of the
county and it is certain that he is go.
ing to get some votes in the contest.
Anderson is making vigorous cam
paign and he declares that his vote
will be larger than ever before
The two republican candidates for
member of the assembly, D. J. Vincent
of Wilmot and Frank Symmonds of
Kenosha, are letting the people decide
for themselves and neither candidate
is making a vigorous campaign. Sym
monds is expected to get strong sup
port in some sections Of the city, but
Vincent will probably have the lead in
the rural districts Of the county.
There is merry scramble on for the
democratic nomination for county
treasurer between John Schmitt, Geo.
Melville and Tony Dunnebacke and
all three of the candidates are claiming
a lot of support for the Office. This
battle promises to be pushed harder
the coming week.
There is a good natured fight between
Frank Rhodes and Carl Starr for the
republican nomination for clerk of the
circuit court. Rhodes has been on the
job every minute since he took out his
petitions and if work gets votes it is
pretty certain that he will land the
nomination.
A lot more interest is being taken
in the fight for the nomination of can
didates for governor. The Karel and
Aylward forces both claim victory
IN Kenosha county, but the Karel lead
ers seem to have coralled lot of the
real democratic workers and the best
guess would be that Judge Karel will
carry the county. The old time demo
Gratis are largely with the Awkward
forces on account of the close relation
ship between Awkward and the nation
al administration but the younger mem
bers of the party are strong for Karel.
Leaders among the politicians of the
state declare that Emanuel Philip of
Milwaukee and B. w. Utman of Hud-
son, have the poll in the race for the
republican nomination Utman has
come very fast during the past ten
days and his campaign along unique
lines it attracting attention all over.
the state.
Jay Page of Elkhorn, who is con
tending with Calvin Stewart of Keno
sha for the democratic nomination for
member of congress, has invaded the
territory of his opponent and Page
pictures are now being seen in lot of
places in Kenosha. Stewart has refus-
ed to get enthused and has declared
that he will not make any fight for the
Office unless nominated at the pri-
maries.
Unique in the primary campaign is
the contest between Matt Fleming of
Salem and William o 'Brien Of Keno
sha for the democratic nomination for
county surveyor. In years past it has
been difficult to find a candidate for
this office, but this year the two can
dldates are making bitter contest for
the nomination. o Brien is the pres
emit surveyor and it is thought that he
has a long lead in the fight for the
nomination.
