NON-VOTERS IN STATE
ALARMING INCREASE OF VOTERS
WHO FAIL no PARTICIPATE IN
ELECTIONS In WISCONSIN.

One Of the surprising and disquiet-
ing conditions Of today is the indiffer-
ence of our people toward public af-
fairs, the gradual decrease in civic
activity
In 1895 when Mckinley ran, the to-
tai vote cast was 447 400; in 1900 the
total vote cast in the state was 440,-
897, and in 1912 it had decreased to
1893, SOL These were national cleo
tions. In purely state elections the
showing is worse In 1902 the total
vote was 365,643 and in 1914 it had
dwindIed down to 325,559.
In 1900 there were 57O,715 voters in
the state and in 1912 they had in
creased to 683,743. Reduced to per-
centage on this basis the participa-
tions in elections declined, in national
elections from II per cent to So per
cent, and in state elections from ga per
cent to 48 per cent-less than one
half.
Taking the number of those not vot-
ing the result seems even more amaZ-
ing. In 1900, 129,83S did not vote and
in 1914, this number had increased to
358,184.
In the election of 1914 Waukesha
county was above the average in that
out of it's II 1881 voters, 6,426 went to
the polls. Milwaukee county shows
the state average, out of 132,947 vot-
ers 63,107 went to the polls. But
what's the matter with Racine county?
Out of it's 1854 voters only 6,792
found time to attend to their citizen
4 duty.
These figures are from the census
of 1910. The number of voters in
these three counties has certainly in
creased considerably in the past six
years. 1t is, therefore, a fair guess to
say that the stay-at-home vote in Wau-
kesha county is 5000, in Racine coun-
ty 10000 and in Milwaukee county
$4,000.

SELF, ACCIDENTALLY
dial EnterpriSe.)

Tuesday morning about o'clock a
sad accident befell the family of An
ton Jensen, when their third oldest
son, Theodore, accidentally shot him
self with a 80 revolver. Theodore,
with some other boys was playing
in Ed letters barn when the accident
happened. He was trying to cock the
old revolver and it refused to cock,
and when the hammer went down it
shot off the gun. The boy at the time
was holding the gun with the barrel
upright and the discharge went right
through the chest, killing him almost
instantly Theodore had recently
traded flashlight for the newly &C
quired revolver and thus the sad con-
sequences of trying it out resulted in
his death. Theodore was a bright,
healthy lad, II years old, and was in
the sixth grade. The funeral will be
held Friday afternoon at o'clock,
from the house, Rev. G. Gunsten Of
floating. The sympathy of the entire
