VIHvNAJtl with everything exposed secret
and the rest of the stage property
as told by writer in the New York Sun:
Presidential campaigns cost a great deal Of
money. The job of getting this money they call
raising the wind. When the amount required is
between S1.5OO,000 and 100000 one see
that the Office of treasurer of a national commit
tee is no Sinecure.
1t was stated publicly the other day by Henry
MOrgenthau. who as chairman of the Democratic
hnalce committee, sort of financial over
lord of this end Of the game for the Democrats,
that the irreducible minimum of Democratic
needs this year had been placed at 81 100000 Four
years ago it 81 100000. .
The Republicans did not make public their
own estimate of expenses, When the campaign
was in its infancy they figured it out as about
$1,OO0000. Later the amount raised to ST.
100000. And at still later gathering Of Re
publicans to discuss this question certain gentle
men of great political experience informed young
Mr.. Bliss that the high cost of campaigns would
probably make it necessary this year to spend
close to 100000 before November Z.
The reason why it costs more now to run a
campaign is because everything is higher. The
cost of printing has tripled, for one thing, cam
paign buttons cost twice much, railroad fares
are higher And so 1t goes.
When the Republicans were looking around for
someone to raise the wind this year their eyes
fell upon young Mr.. Bliss, for a good reason.
His father the Republican treasurer in three
national campaigns. After some hesitation Mr..
Bliss took the job. in which he has ever since
displayed the quality considered prerequi-
site to a successful Republican treasurer-mod-
esty.
Nobody but the campaign managers themselves
ever heard much of Mr.. Bliss around national
headquarters. His Office a floor below
the charman's. People who got off there by mis-
take thought they had wandered into the offices
of a big up-to-date mercantile corporation. There
were many clerks many adding machines and
many typewriters.
1t was from these offices, where scarce foot
fall was heard, that Treasurer Bliss raked the
country for Republican money. not only in the
form Of large subscriptions when he could get
them but also in the form of $40 subscriptions
to what he called his sustaining membership fund.
The contributor this got nice little certificate
showing that he had been enrolled as sustain
ing member Of the G. o. P. This was Mr.. Bliss
popular-subscription plan.
The scheme Mr.. Bliss brought out was a de-
'velopment of tried successfully by William
Barnes when he was head of the state committee
This plan was to invite $40 subscriptions to
special fund and in return hand out some little
honorarum. Mr.. Barnes succeeded in raising
$4,000 by this plan in the state of New York

Charles Barr Takes Out Petitions for
Alderman in the Second Ward, and
John w. Wade Seeks to Try Out
Come Back stunt in Eighth Ward.

Michael Yabs is a candidate for
mayor. This announcement was made
by prominent members of the Social
Democratic party on Tuesday after
noon when petitions were taken out
for the nomination of men who are to
be supported by the members of that
party in Kenosha. 1t is said that other
men named for places on the city ticket
are Samuel Kalkup and Ireton Jack
son and the members of the party
plan to have petitions for candidates
for practically every place on the pri-
mary ballot with the exception of jus
tice of the peace. Fifteen sets of
petitions were taken out by the lead
ers of the party on Tuesday. This
morning Mr.. Walkup, who had been
slated to make the run for city clerk,
announced that he would not be a
candidate for this. or any other
Office and some other party leader
will probably be selected.
The candidate Of the Social Democ-
racy for mayor is at present engaged
in driving jitney bus. This will
not be his introduction into politics
in Kenosha as in former campaigns he
has been on the city ticket for the Of
flee Of alderman in the eighth ward.
He is one Of this officials of the INDIE
pendent Jitney association and has
been a leader in pushing reforms for
jltney BUSES. He was the representa-
tive of the organization to appear be-
fore the council at a recent meeting
and urge the passage Of an ordinance
to limit the number Of jitneys to be
operated on the streets of Kenosha. He
has been decidedly active in the af-
fairs of the Social Democracy. Pc
titions for his nomination are now
in circulation and he has the distinc-
tion of being the only opponent to the
present mayor now in the field.
1t is understood that the Social De-
mocracy of the city will make nominal
tions in all of the wards for ward Of
fcers and that they are hopeful of
electing a number Of people in sym
pathy with their movement.

passing interest in bill introduced
into congress to provide for the CON

way, ten thousand miles in length
which is proposed by Congressman Step

nation. Kenosha is to be on the por-
ton of the highway which leads from
Chicago to Milwaukee and Minneapo-
lis. The bill provides that the work
on the highway shall be done under the
direction of the United States govern
ment and that the men employed on
it shall be drilled at least two hours a
day in military service. 1t carries
with it an appropriation of bonds Of
one hundred million dollars to provide
for its completion.

DISPOSAL OF ASHES A PUZZLE
Members of Committee Divided as to
How Far Council Should Go in Provid-
ing for Removal of Garbage and
Ashes-To Ask for Contract Now

Municipal collection of garbage is
billed to start in Kenosha on the first
day of April according to the decision
which has been reached by the special
committee in charge of this new wrin-
kle in the city and this decision will
be laid before the common council for
ratification on next Monday evening.
The city will not buy horses and
wagons and employ men for this work,
but it will seek to let to contract the
collection and disposal of the garbage
for the next nine months in order to
give the matter thorough try out.
After that the city council may decide
that it would be the part of wisdom to
have equipment belonging to the city.
The committee at it's meeting did
not make any provision for following
modern plans for the disposal Of the
garbage and for the first few months
the garbage will be dumped on the
lake beach at the north end Of Lake
avenue where it will be covered with
earth and used to assist in filing up
the proposed park. This is the same
plan which the city followed in filing
up Eichelman Park and it did not
prove in the least Objectionable to the
people living in the immediate neigh
borhood of the park. The big argu-
ment among the members of the com
mittee was as to whether the city
should provide for the collection of
garbage only or ashes and garbage.
It was held that if the city attempted
to collect both garbage and ashes that
the appropriation which has been
made would be insufficient to meet the
cost. The majority Of the members
of the committee held that to collect
garbage alone would bring little re-
lief to the people and that they would
be forced to provide for supplemental
collection for ashes which in the win
ter months would prove just as expen-
sive to them as the collection of both
the garbage and the. ashes The plan
as finally agreed upon was for the
collection of both the ashes and the
garbage, but bids will be taken on
both propositions.
If it is found possible for the city
to collect both ashes and garbage and
get within the six thousand dollar ap-
preparation made for the nine months
this plan will be followed. Some ques-
ton has been raised as to whether or
not the city teamsters will be willing
to take the contracts at figures within
the appropriation. IF it is found i'm
possible to let contract the city will
have to undertake to provide teams
and collect the garbage. The members
of the committee seem to be of the
opinion that the city is not as vet
ready to go this far in the matter as
the cost Of equipment would probably
be considerably more than the coun-
Gil has appropriated to try out the
proposition.
It is probable that the report will
bring a considerable argument to the
depleted council on Monday night.
