POLITICIANS SLOW TO JUMP
Many Leaders Indorse Platform of the
League But Fear Loss of Prestige by
Giving Up Party Ties-Legislative
Tickets Are Suggested For County.

The Wisconsin Home Rule League,
organized as a protest against increas-
ed state expenses and some of the So
called commission rule in the state at
a meeting recently held in Milwaukee,
IS seeking recruits in Kenosha and dur
ing the past two days many letters
have been received by men prominent
IN the city and county urging them to
interest themselves in the work Of the
organization. Men have been sought
without regard to political utilization
and letters have been sent to demo
Gratis, republicans, progressives and in
dependents, urging them to investigate
the plans of the league and give it
their support. 1t is admitted that the
aim OF the promoters of the league is
to secure political control Of Wiscon-
sin and to secure the election of men
to office in the coming November elec-
tions who will support The principles
of,the organization. Local men sought
for membership in the league are be-
ing urged to form organizations in all
of the towns of Kenosha county. 1t is
even suggested that men who seek Of
fees in the assembly and in the state
senate be named from men who are
favorable to the league platform as
recently proclaimed in Milwaukee.
Some of the politicians about the
state are already declaring that the
league is a part of the old conserva-
tive organization of the republicans of
the state, but this is not apparent.
Some of the men behind the organiza-
ton have been active in the so-called
progressive wing Of the republican
party. Kenosha county is regarded as
a fertile field for the securing of re-
cruits to the league. This county has
a lot of men who are unalterably OPP
posed to the continuation of the pres
ent administration in Madison. This
sentiment will undoubtedly be reflected
in the November elections in Kenosha
county. The men in charge of the or
ganization of the league are seeking
some men to be active leaders in
Kenosha county.
With real leadership in this section
there is no doubt but that the league
would gain lot of members. Poll
ticians who have been approached to
take up this work of organizing seem
to be little slow to break their al
lance with the old parties. They de-
clare themselves in sympathy with the
proposed purposes of the league, but
at that they are DESTROYS of remaining
Irregular" so far as party organiza-
ton is concerned.
There is little possibility of Home
Rule legislative ticket in this county.
but it is not improbable that some Of
the candidates named by the old par
ties will be forced to make declarations
which will make them in accord with
the purposes of the organization.

FROST MEN BUSY.
Former Associates of A. G. Frost In
G.. and M. Electric.


R. s. Ives, a former superintendent
of the Chicago and Milwaukee Electric
Railway, in company with several of
the men who were closely connected
with the road when A. C. Frost was at
the head of it, made a thorough in
spection of the line Saturday. What
their object was, none of the men would
state, but a person well informed on
the matter, states that the Frost men
have banded together to make an eff
fort to regain control of the road and
enlarge it so that the original plans
can be carried out. The Times-Review
has authentic information that short
time ago survey of the land was made
from Lake Bluff to Chicago, evidently
for the purpose of planning an en-
trance to the city over a private right
of way ON which fast trains could be
run between Chicago and Milwaukee
without being hampered as the limited
trains at present are because they are
obliged to go through streets in which
vehicles are driven.
People in general have the opinion
that the Frost interests had given up
the hope of regaining control of the
road and it would no longer take any
interest in it. But the former super
intendent's visit discredits this belief,
and it is evident that the Frost faction
is really in the fight to secure the road
when it is put on sale.-North Chicago

MARRIED IN DETROIT.
Miss Katherine Orth Becomes Bride of
George O'Hare on Wednesday.

A wedding which was decidedly in
teresting to many people in Kenosha
took place at Holy Rosary church in
Detroit, Mich, on Wednesday morn
ing at six o'clock, the contracting par
ties being Miss Katherine Orth, daugh-
ter Of the late Charles Orth, formerly
assessor in the city, and George
O'Hare, son of Chief of Police Owen
O'Hare. The announcement of the wed
ding received in Kenosha this morn
ing came as wee bit Of a surprise to
the relatives of Mr.. and Mrs. O'Hare.
The surprise wasenot great one, how
ever, as for several days Chief O'Hare
and the members of Miss Orth IS fami-
ly had been awaiting the coming of the
news of the marriage. Young O'Hare
left Kenosha seven weeks ago to ac-
cept position in Detroit and two
weeks ago Miss Orth went to Detroit
presumably for visit with friends
there. The report was circulated that
the couple had been married at that
time, but prompt denials were received
by both the families of the bride and
groom. This morning Chief O'Hare
received a letter. By the time you
get this Katie and l will be married.
We are going to be married at six
o'clock Wednesday morning and are
open to congratulations. Chief
0 Hare lost no time in telegraphing the
parental blessing to his son and his
new daughter and with it went best
wishes for long and happy married
life. "We wanted the children to
wait until they were little older, y
said the chief when asked in regard to
the marriage this morning, but they
had their plans all made. She is a
dandy little girl and I am glad to vel
come her as daughter. y The rela-
tives of Miss Orth declared that thew
were mildly surprised at the report Of
the marriage, but that they were en-
tirely satisfied. Mr. and Mrs. O'Hare
left Detroit Wednesday afternoon for
the usual wedding trip to Niagara
Falls and other points of interest in
the east and at the end of the short
honeymoon trip they will make their
home in Detroit where the groom has
an excellent position with an automo-
bile company. Both the bride and
groom are widely known in Kenosha
and hundreds of friends will be glad
to extend the most cordial congratula-
tions. :.

It is beginning to look as if there
would be little public improvements in
Kenosha this season. Street PAYERS de-

viii be completed by the first of July
and there is no reason to believe that
any other improvements will be sought.
It's an excellent time to get your

FOUGHT WITH The ARTILLERY
Noted Minister Was Opposed to War
But Made a Real Soldier When
Forced on Field of Battle State So
ciety Has Interesting Publications.

One of the most interesting Of the
many publications of the Wisconsin
State Historical Society is the dairy of
Jenkin Lloyd Jones, soldier boy in a
Wisconsin battery during the civil war;
The volume is of particular interest to
Evansville, for during ten years of his
long and memorable life Reverend
Jones lived in that city, and was pas
tor in the All Souls church. AS a
youth he left Spring Green, but eigh-
teen years Of age, and fought through
the long Struggle. He returned sea-
soned man. Laying down the blue he
became soldier of the Lord, and has
continued his service ever since.
The dairy is that of Jenkin Lloyd
Jones, now pastor of the All Souls
church in Chicago and frequent visit
or in Madison. It begins with the day
when as a country lad he joined the
Sixth Wisconsin Battery at Camp Ran
dali, and ends when on July IS, 1865,
he was mustered out in Madison.
The civil war is not described with
the broad sweep of the historian who
sees only the movements of armies, but
from the daily viewpoint of the priv
ate, to whom the war was a succession
of new and interesting sights, of wait
ings for the enemy with consequent
skirmishes and battles, of freezing
nights and wet blankets and hot sum-
mer marches, of lack Of provisions and
fuel at times and of plenty at others,
and of all the daily details of a three
years war experience.

Did Not Like War.

Private Jones did not like the war.
and when, fifty years after, he wrote
the preface, he said:
GA great thing was done for human
ity in America, between 1861 and 1865.
If it could not have been done other
wise, it was worth all it cost. And if
this same dire predicament were to
come again, I would do my past all
over again. But oh! it was such a
wrong way of doing the right thing
May the clumsy sentences of a boy s
dairy, so lacking in perspective, SO in
adequate in expression, contribute a
few sentence to the Gospel of Peace.
81 was too young to go out in 1861, -
he says. 81 cannot say that painted
for the fray. I dreaded the dire mo-
ment when conscience, not the govern
ment, would deliver me into a service
that had no charm for me. Another

Academy, another sowing and harvest
time, then leaving unstacked the hay
that I had mown, and in the shocks
the oats that I had Graded, L obeyed
this stern daughter Of the voice of
God to use Wordsworth s phrase
and turned my face to the south. I
joined my old comrades of the Spring
Green Guards in the Sixth Wisconsin
Battery, nine months or so after their
first enlistments.

zen. He was laid to rest at the Pres
