Coach Herbert Hardy is starting on
the first spring football training that
has ever been undertaken at the
Methodist school and will work
steadily from now on, pointing his
men for the season opening four
months hence.
The work this spring will be large

lectures. Coach Hardy aims to give
the men the fundamentals of the
game this spring and outline a series
OF plays that will be the basis of the
coaching when the men come back
in the fall. This system has been used
with universal success in the larger
schools of the country.
Another departure scheduled for
the coming season is the establish
ment of a training camp prior to the
opening of school next September.
The camp may be located at Lake

G. H. Weisse of shebOygan
Falls Announces His Cam
didacy For U. S. Senator.
INSISTS CONVENTION Be HELD

When in Milwaukee on Thursday G.
II. Weisse of Sheboygan Falls, confirm
ed the report that he would be a can
didate for the nomination for United
States senator on the democratic
ticket.
81 am sort of candidate for the
senatorship pending the meeting of the
democratic state convention if one is
held" said Mr.. Weisse when asked if
he intended to enter the race.
''Not that l think the convention
should nominate candidates." continu-
ed Mr.. Weisse. FIn my opinion a
st tate convention should be held for the
purpose Of adopting platform and
permitting democrats from all parts
of the state to get together and talk
over the situation. While this would
probably include a discussion of can.
didates for the various offices, it seems
to me that the convention ought not to
put up any ticket. Let every one who
SO desires come out for any Office he
fancies and let the state central COM
mittee circulate his papers.
cit is necessary for the democrats
to have state convention so as to
get together where they can learn con-
ditions in different parts of the state
and how the people feel on the ques-
tions of the day. The republicans
don It have to do this as with the num-
erous commissions and state employees
when they wish to learn of conditions
anywhere all they have to do is to
send out some employee who while APP
parently attending to his work really
is getting the information wanted.
We can't do that, so we have to get
together in state convention.
$50 far as my candidacy is concern
ed [ would like to meet democrats
from sections outside of my own and
have a talk with them. Then if it
looks as though there would be
chance for democrat this year shall
probably be in the race unless it should
be decided that some other man ~ould
be stronger. ="
Mr.. Weisse made it very clear that
he would be opposed to the nomination
Of candidates by the state convention
if called, believing that it should be
left for the primaries to say who was
to be the candidate for any Office.
No one close to Mr.. Weisse thinks for
moment that he would retire in case
Mr.. Awkward should be selected as
senatorial candidate by the democrats
in convention assembled. That would
be asking too much. It is also said
that if he goes into the fight it is GER
tain to be hummer. During his stay
in Milwaukee Mr.. Weisse met num-
Der of democrats with whom he dis
cussed the general situation.

LEASES ACKERMANN HOTEL.
Former Aid. G.. Higley Takes Lease of
Twin Lakes Resort Property.

Former Alderman George w. Higley
has taken a lease on the Ackermann
Hotel at Twin Lakes and is now in
possession. He is planning to person
ally have charge of the operation of
the hotel during the coming summer
season. The hotel has always been one
OF the most popular among the resorts
OF Kenosha county, but it has been
closed for the past two seasons. Mr..
Higley is making extensive improve
ments on the building and grounds and
promises to make it one of the most
attractive of the summer hotels in this
section. The grand opening is sched-
uled for next Saturday evening and it
is expected that large number of Ke-
nosha people viii go out to attend the
opening. The Main street saloon
which has been owned by Mr.. Higley
will go under other management after
the first of July but he will remain in
charge of it until that time.

FIGHT SHY OF STATE MIDDLE
Neither Democrats Nor Republicans in
Kenosha County Show Any Willing
ness to Take on Entangling Allianc-
es.-To Make Campaign Independent

A new interest is being shown in
county politics and the officials of both
the republican and the democratic COM
mittees are planning to call meetings
early in June to provide for the work
of the campaign. It is not expected
that there will be any great activity
in local politics until after the party
advisory conventions are held in Mil
waukee The democrats of the state
have already started plans for a state
convention and while it is not expect
ed that the factions of the republican
party can agree on plan for CON
vention it is thought that one or more
meetings Of the members of the party
will be held in Milwaukee to work out
some plan for organization during the
campaign. Kenosha county republicans
will probably not align themselves
with any of the factions of the party,
but as in the former campaign take a
middle of the road course and seek to
save the political hides Of the local
candidates without getting them into
any entangling alliances.
The local candidates declare that
they can see no reason for mixing
county and state politics. Kenosha
county republicans and democrats for
years have fought shy of political diff
ferences in the state. The leaders of
both the state organizations have fail
ed to recognize Kenosha when they came
to give out the spoils of Office and for
this reason the local politicians see no
reason why they should get greatly ex-
cited over the efforts made to control
state politics and state patronage.
The democracy of the county seems
to be greatly encouraged this year on
account of the general conditions about
the state and local candidates of that
party while refraining from mixing in
state political movements are not adj
verse to accepting any favors which
may come as a result Of the widespread
complaint against the present admin
istration. The republicans who are in
line for Office hold that this should not
be held against them as they are not
in any way connected with the state
organization and have had no part in
directing the policies Of the admins
tration at Madison. 1t is not expected
that there will be any county conven-
lions held in the county to name can
didates for Office, but it is probable
that the democracy will hold county
convention to name delegates to the
state convention.
The attitude of the Bull Moosers is
still very much in doubt. The local
leaders of the new party have as yet
taken no move to re-organize their
forces and it is general believed that
the party will have no candidates for
either state or county Offices in Wis
consin this year.
