SENTIMENT FOR WILSON

As far back as the memory VI
man runs, the election OF president
has been coincident with the election
Of a house of representatives OF the
same political faith and purposes.
The only apparent exception to TINS
,.,,,a was in 1876. In that year SAM
mol T. Tilden was elected president
,bnt his opponent was afterWara
seated by an electoral commission.
.Yilden had "a clear majority IN the
electoral college,. a.. popular major.
itv of 100000, and a Democratic
House, of Representatives was chosen
at The same, time. With the excep-i
ton Of Hayes, every president who
has been inaugurated in the past halr
century has had a majority OF MS
own party behind him in the house
In fact. our whole history makes
It quite clear that the people DO noV
,beliave in electing president OF one
political; faith and a congress OF an
opposite political faith During the
past two weeks Frank b. Doremus,
chairman of the Democratic National
Congressional Committee has ATTEMPT,
ed to obtain an unbiased opinion OIL
public sentiment in the COMPRESSION
aIEDhssstriets which it is necessary
f0tt She. Democratic Party to carry
EEin oraerto control the next house /
His inquiry has extended into the
states of New York. New Jersey,
West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, ilh-
nois. Wisconsin, Kansas, Nebraska
Colorado and several other western
states. The reports received are
very gratifying, and upon them he
feels warranted in predicting the
election Of a Democratic House by a
largely increased majority. These
reports show a tremendous sentl-
ment for the reelection Of President
Wilson!
In 1914 the congressional elections
cave the Democrats majority o.
Thirtv-one over the Republicans and
. majority over The combined op-
position of twenty-one. This result
following closely upon general re-
vision of the tariff, was very unusual
in our political history. But once be-
fore--in a great many years at
least-has an administration beer
endorsed at the congressional cleo
tons following revision OF tariff :
The constructive legislation OF the
past three years has placed Ameri-
can prosperity upon a permanent
basis. President Wilson has coy
rectly interpreted the sentiment OF
our people in preserving his country
in peace with the world. There is no
precedent in American political his
tory for repudiating an adminlstra-
ton in times like these. 1t is the
best judgment Of the country that
Mr.. Hughes has failed to make out
case, and that the jury will so find
on Tuesday. They will re-elect
President Wilson by an overwhelm-,
ing majority. and Congress Demo-
cratic in both branches.

BIG SUM FOR AUTO LICENSES.
Deputy County Treasurer Blair Gets
Check for S6,543.98 from
the State Today.

Deputy County Treasurer James w.
Blair this morning received state
warrant in the sum Of $6,543.9s, repre-
senting the amount to be paid by the
state to Kenosha county for the
county's share of automobile license
fees collected for automobiles owned
IN this county. The amount is con-
slderably larger than it was in
former years. The entire money re-
ceived from the automobile license fees
Is to be placed in the fund for the re-
pair and maintenance of the road and
it. is sufficiently large to insure the
oiling of all the roads for the season
OF 1917. In addition to this it will
probably be possible to get from the
fund small amount to add to the fund
for the purchase of road machinery.

RAISE FLAG FOR OLD SETTLERS.
Pretty Little Ceremony Held at Pad
docks Lake This Afternoon
Regardless of Rain

A brand new American flag is going
to float over the entrance of the Old
Settlers Club when the annual reunion
of the members of the club is held on
next Thursday, as the officials of the
club gathered at the Paddocks Lake
grounds this afternoon and with a
pretty little ceremony raised a new
flag The new flag is twelve bv twenty
feet and it was purchased by the club
to take the place of the flag presented
to the organization several years ago
by the late 2. G.. Simmons. This fac
was stolen by vandals several wears
ago and since that time the Old Set.
tiers had no way to show their patrio-
tism. The new flag will be raised over
the entrance of the grounds whenever
public gathering is held there. When
the officers gathered for the flag rails
ing this afternoon they completed ar
rangements for the annual reunion to
be held on Thursday 1t is certain
that the gathering is going to be the
most notable held in years. The fact
that the principal address is to be
made by Governor E. L. Philipp is
counted on to draw very large crowd
to the grounds.

DIES FAR FROM HOME.
Charles Conner Taken I'll at Kenosha
County Farm Dies in the Keno
sha Hospital on Thursday.

Charles Conner, thirty years of age
and supposed to be a resident of Chi
cago, died at the Kenosha hospital
just before midnight Thursday night
following an operation for obstruction
of the bowels. Conner was formerly
employed on the Devlin farm in the
town of Bristol He came to this
county from Chicago about eight weeks
ago and the county agent is now max
ing an effort to locate his relatives.
It is said that Conner has a sister in
Chicago and that his father and
mother are living in New York. The
names of these relatives are not
known but the county agent is hope
full that he will be able to notify them
of the death of Conner and have them
make provisions for his burial. Conner
had small amount of money due him
as wages, but this will not be sufficient
to pay his funeral expenses and the
hospital bill.

some hot competition for them.
