Kenosha democrats who attended the
Karel- Keaney love feast in Milwau
kee Tuesday, got home tired but hap
py--tired on account of the fact that
the convention had been one of the
most strenuous ever held by the de-
mocracy of the state-happy because
they felt convinced that they had
hurled a spoke into the wheels of con-
tending fellow democrats.
The convention was success from
the standpoint of numbers attending
and enthusiasm for candidates, but it
l,-.d to bring harmony in the party
and it was notable on account of the
absence of lot OF the "big men, Of
the party in the state. Awkward and
Davies, who have been accredited with
carrying the state patronage about in
their vest pockets motored about Mil
waukee while the Karel Kearney forces
met and resolved and endorsed. This
fact did not seem to discomfort the
convention in the least and the enthu-
siasm Tor the selected leaders was very
much in evidence from the time Cal
Vim Stewart dropped the gayel to call
The convention to order until the lights
were turned off after the last appeal
for harmony had been delivered.
Let it be said right here that our
lawn Stewart was one Of the
real hits of the convention, and the
gathering in Milwaukee has served to
bring Stewart back into the race for
congressman In this district. This fact
may not send cold chills down the
back of the present congressman, but
the fact that Stewart is getting back
into the race again seemed to please a
lot of the democrats from Racine and
Henosha county.
Stewart in his keynote speech got
more applause than any other speaker
at the convention. The Kenosha man
said in part;
"What Wisconsin needs today is a
democratic administration patterned
after our national administration. An
administration that will devote it's
time and energy and its ambitions to
doing something for the people.
The representatives of on. present
administration, those who are part and
parcel of it, those who are responble
iquitous tax burden that they have
thrust upon us, are now promising to
reduce che taxes which they themselves
have made, But how will they explain
to the people whose sufrages they
now invoke the wicked increase from
$4,ooo,0o0 to $18,000;UOo a year in less
than one decadee
Not Talk, but Tax Reduction.
t'We care not for explanation. What
we want is reduction, and the voters
of Wisconsin will hardly trust it to
the men who made the increase in
taxes to undo their handiwork.
1--WE want an administration that
will wipe out every unnecessary board
and commission and bring the business
II the state back to the hands of the
men who are elected to do that bust
ness. We want direct line of re-
sponsibility back from the public of
fetal to the people who elected him
for we have been shown how fallaci
Gus is the policy by which the business
of the state is done by political hire
lings, whom the people never elected
but who, in too many instances, were
appointed merely to pay politica
debt
Therefore, have we assembled her,
today; not to quarrel; not to divide
our forces; not to promote factiona
tight, and please those to whom we at
tribute our legislative wrongs; OF
the contrary we assemble to promote
harmony.
We assemble to find a remedy thai
Will cure the disease known as legis
