CANDIDATES ON ANXIOUS SEAT
Recount of Ballots Cast for County Of
ficers May be Demanded if Senatorial
Vote is Placed Under Scrutiny-May
Affect Result of the Election.

Governor Francis E. McGovern, who
was defeated for United States senator
by Paul Husting on the face of the re-
turns of the election on Tuesday by
plurality Of a little over thousand
votes, has demanded a recount and it
is probable that this recount will be
extended to many counties in the state.
The demand for the recount prepared
by the republican state central commit
tee in Milwaukee today provides for a
recount Of the ballots in the city Of
Milwaukee and in ten precincts of the
city Of Superior, but it is declared that
other petitions win be fled. Kenosha
county is expected to be one Of the
counties in which a recount of the bal
lots for senator will be made.
1t is said that the governor expected
a much larger vote than he received in
this county and that his aides believe
that recount of the ballots here will
show that number Of ballots cast for
the governor in this county were not
properly counted. 1t is asserted that
all over the state ballots which had
the cross in the party circle and then
crosses after the name of other candi-
dates on other tickets were counted
only for the men where the crosses
were made. 1t has been held that
these votes should have been counted
for the candidates on the party ticket
with the, exception Of the ones where
the voter showed his intent by making
a cross after the name of the candidate.
1t is known that errors of this kind
were made in several of the wards of
Kenosha. County Clerk Jones was at
one polling place where he found the
clerks counting ballots in this way and
called their attention to the fact that
the votes should be counted for the
names on the party ticket where the
voter had not shown his intent to vote
for rival candidates. 1t is not known
how many of these ballots were count
ed in this county and it is just possible
that recount might make some
changes in the result of the county
election.
None of the local candidates have
shown any intention of demanding a
recount but should one be demanded
by the governor in his effort to de-
feat Husting it is pretty certain that
some of the local candidates would
have careful watchers at the count.
The republican ballot was the split bal
lot at the recent election in Kenosha
county and it is thought to be pretty
certain that any recount made would
aid this party rather than the demo
cratic candidates.
The republican state committee has
issued statement declaring that it
feels certain that these errors in the
count were made in many precincts in
the state and it is not improbable that
the recount may be extended to prac-
tically every county in the state be-
fore the contest over the senatorship
is over

STATEMENTS OF CASE DIFFER
Man in Jail Declares That Terrible In
jury to Boy Was an Accident While
Boy Asserts That stepfather Sought
to Brain Him.

Joseph Polosky, 3S years of age and
la Russian employed as a powder maker
at the plant of the E. I. Dupont Com
pany in Pleasant Prairie, was arrested
late Saturday afternoon and is held at
the county Jail pending the investiga-
ton of an attack on his ten year old
step son, William, at the home in Pleas
ant Prairie, Saturday afternoon. The
boy was struck in the face with an axe
in such a manner that number of the
bones Of the face were crushed and a
great cash cut.
The stories of the husband and his
wife, Mrs. Martha Polosky, are wide
ly at variance. Polosky claims that
the injury of the boy was accidental,
but the wife and the boy claim that he
deliberately struck the boy with the
axe in a fit of passion.
When Sheriff Achen and Undersheriff
Fonk reached the Polosky home late on
Saturday afternoon they found the peo-
pie in a state of great excitement. The
boy claimed that he had asked his step
father for money to purchase clothing
when the latter became enraged and
grabbing an axe struck him in the face
with it and then fled from the house.
Polosky claimed that the accident to
the boy had come at the close of a
bitter quarrel between himself and his
wife.
Polosky had gone home from the pow
der plant just after noon Saturday and
he claims that his wife demanded that
he turn over his weekly wages to her
that it might be added to bank ac-
count of $110o maintained by the two
in the Bristol State bank. Polcsky said
that he needed the money to make
some purchases for himself and he
claims that the woman declared that
she would go to Bristol, get the money
from the bank, and return with her
ten children to Russia.
The quarrel between the two became
bitter and the man claims that the
stepson went out into the barns and
got the axe and returned to the house
and attempted to hit him with it. He
asserts that he struggled with the boy
and that in his efforts to wrest the
axe from him it slipped out of the
boys hands and fell, striking the boy
in the face and causing the terrible
wound, which will undoubtedly disfg
ure the boy for life.
Polosky was not booked when he was
brought to the county Jail and the dis
trict attorney this morning had not Sc
cured sufficient information to say just
what charge would be brought against
him. 1t was expected that the wife and
the injured son would come in this af-
ternoon and that Polosky would be
given hearing in the municipal court
before the day is over.

Women all over the United States
are getting ready to attend the
forty-sixth annual national suffrage
convention in Nashville. Tenn, Nov.
1917.
Southern women such as Mrs,

OF Henry Clay and president of the
Kentucky Suffrage Association;
MRS. Pattie Ruffner Jacobs, of Ala
Dama; Miss Kate Gordon and Miss
Jean Gordon of New York, are plan

during convention week. The Nash
vile Chamber of Commerce and the
BUSINESS Mems Association are to
entertain the guests. Teas. lunch
cons, receptions, dinners, and an
old-fashioned barbecue at the home
OF Andrew Jackson are planned.
NO convention, male or female
would be complete without bones of
contention and this convention meets
1ne requirement with two bones
ne nrst is the question of states
rights versus a federal amendment
Shall each state decide the question
FOR itself or shall an amendment to
the constitution of the United States
give all women the right to vote
IT'S an interesting point, as anyone
can see. and the divergent attitude
OF northerners and southerners on
states rights IS well known. Tia
second bone concerns the Bristow-
Mcndell amendment and the Shat
roth amendment. both before con-
gress. The Bristow- Mondell amend
ment provides a straight woman suf-
frage clause while the Shafroth
amendment is considered by some
short cut to suffrage since it
would have the question submitted

ative petition.

Provide Employment for Unemployed.
The city put second gang of men
to work on the streets today in order
to provide employment for the unem-

grading of Pleasant street. It was
found possible to employ fifteen men
On this work and this morning there
were sixty applicants at the Office Of
the city engineer for the fifteen places
or the gang. The men were selected
with a great deal Of care and every

Il is probable that other work will be
found for the unemployed before the
end of the week and that another gang
will be put to work.
