DARK HORSES FAIL TO SHOW
William T. Kruger Gets in Petitions as
Republican Candidate for Sheriff Just
After Nine O'Clock and is Last to
File for Place on the Ticket.

Iney are OH Tor the primary elecLlon.
County Clerk Jones declared the entries
for the biennial event closed at mid
night Saturday night and this morning
a score of politicians from the republi-
can, democratic and social democratic
parties started out on still hunt with
the object of getting votes enough to
get on the regular election ballot when
the primaries are held in September.
There were no clark horses on Sat
urday afternoon and evening and most
of the petitions were in the hands of
the county clerk long before the sun
went down on Saturday. Most of them
had been checked over and found to
have the requisite number of signatures
long before the time set by the law for
the coming of the entries.
William F. Kruger republican can
didate for sheriff, was the last candi-
date to file his papers. These papers
reached the clerk at half past nine
clock Saturday night, but under the
law this was plenty early for the name
of Kruger to be placed on the primary
ballot. Saturday afternoon the social
democrats completed their tickets by
fling petitions from two more pre-
cincts. No petitions were fled for con
didates on the "bull moose" or pro-
hibition ticket and there will be no in
dependent nominations by members of
this party after the primary election.
With the primary lists out there is no
reason to expect any very hard fights
in the primary campaign. There is OPP
position for number of the nomina-
tions, but in most cases it is a good
natured opposition and there will be no
old sores ripped open in the contest be-
tween the various candidates for the
nominations. From now on it is ex-
pected that there will be a lot Of poll
tical activity in Kenosha county. The
