Al Card

To the people of the Northern,
or Third, Supreme Court Dis
trict:
We, the undersigned members
of the Lee County Bar, disclaim-
ing any effort to dictate to the
voters, but having had oppor-
tunity to know the ability, in
tegrity, impartiality, dignity,
learning and judicial tempera-
ment of Judge E. O. Sykes both
as a lawyer at the bar and as a
judge of the Supreme Court for
the last six or seven months, and
believing that his record is such
as to richly deserve the endorse
ment which it is the usual DEM
ocratic custom to give to an eff
cient officer, heartily commend
him to the voters of this Supreme
Court District in the primary
election to be held on the 9Th Of
September. His high character,
perfect fairness and unquestioned
ability are a sufficient guaranty
that he will deal out equal and
even-handed justice to all alike
without fear or favor.
In the first primary Judge
Sykes received 353 votes in his
home town of Aberdeen against
12 for his opponent, and 1920 in
his home county of Monroe
against 292 for his opponent, a
majority of 1928, an unprecedent-
ed majority, and thus demon
strating the esteem in which he
is held by those who know him
best without regard to political
factions. He also led his oppo-
nent in the whole district by
1701 votes, Notwithstanding he
remained at his post of duty
upon the Supreme Bench until
that court adjourned on July 8,
which. of course, kept him from
making a canvass of the whole
district.
In view of these facts, we do
not hesitate to recommend him
as worthy and ricely deserving
of an endorsement by election as
his own successor for a full term.
Respectfully,

seventy years, died at the home Of his

ternoon following long illness from
dropsy. Mr.. Kelly was one of the first
white children born in the town of
Pleasant Prairie. His father, the late
Timothy Kelly, was one of the first
settlers of Kenosha county and the son
was born at the Kelly farm in the east
ern part of Pleasant Prairie on October
IA, 1874. He resided on the farm until
seven months ago when broken in
health he went to Newport to spend
the declining years of his life with his
son. Mr.. Kelly was one of the most
progressive farmers Of Kenosha county

of Pleasant Prairie and the county.
He is survived by large family of
children. Funeral services will be held
at the Catholic church at Wadsworth

TO STOP OLD NUIsANCEs.
Chief of Police o'Hare Declares That
He Will Get Warrants for
Blocking Streets.

For the last twenty years certain
men in Kenosha and the successors of
these men have taken to themselves the
right of blocking certain streets with
wagons and buggies and lot Of other
rubbish. Frequent complaints were
made to the police department. this
morning on account of this blocking
of the street and Chief o 'Haredeclared
that before the day was over if it was
found necessary he would have the men
under arrest He conferred with the
city attorney on the matter. II know
just what the people are kicking
about said the chief, land the peo-
pie have kick coming We have
cleaned these streets off hundreds of
times in the past ten years only to find
them just as badly Uttered up again
in couple of days. The council keeps
passing ordinances and there is GER
tainly one of these which will make it
possible to keep these streets open
by criminal prosecutions if by no
other way

!. McGovern men are going to vote for
Jeffris in the primary. The Jefris-
Philip contingent know this and they
would like to do something nice for
McGovern in return, but unfortunately
that something is not in the cards just
now, as McGovern is opposing their
gubernatorial candidate.
They greatly deplore the fact that
McGovern did not come out for United
States Senator instead Of for governor
Had he done so early in the year, It
appears certain that there would have
been no Jeffris candidacy.
With the votes which Jeffris viii
receive from the McGovern Republi
cans and from the anti Williams Demo
Gratis, LaFollette, it would seem, is uI
against the fight of his career.
Every day brings new angle to the
situation, and political wiseacres, cleo
tion-return dopsters and shrewd bet
tors have thrown their hands in The
air in resignation, to await the first
few weeks Of actual campaigning
before trying to get down to bed
rock again.
Jeffris, McGovern and Hatton have
made some speeches. Gov. Philip viii
take the stump next month. All othel
candidates on all the states will begir
speaking campaigns this week.
All committees are active in a can
vass for campaign funds. AS man
running different sort Of game, was
wont to say:
"You pays your money and takes
your choice.''

LOSE TIME THROUGH ILLNESS.
Many Children Of the City Schools
Forced Out on Account of In
fictitious Diseases.

The superintendent of schools keeps
track of health conditions by having
statistics kept of loss of school attend
ance on account of sickness. The fol
lowing figures express the number of
days lost on account of contagious
disease: September, SO; October, 100;
November, ESQ; December, 401; Janu-
airy, 6l2; February, 405; March, 495;
April, 583; May, 1915; June, $3.50;
total for ten months, 12,SoS days.
A little thought about these figures
will show the serious educational loss
resulting from preventable diseases
The total of 12,808 school days means
sixty-six school years of the length OF
the year just past 1875 days; or it means
the loss Of one whole school year for
sixty-six pupils which is two school
fulls Of children. This means that
teaching energy equivalent to that OF
two teachers has not reached those
entitled to it.
The epidemic of measles that had
such run during May and June, caus-
ed about rs per cent of the total alb
sence from contagious disease during
the year.
Absence from minor ailments like
colds, sore threats, ETC., caused a total
loss Of 21,127 days. This is a loss of
108 school years or one year fer los
children, which is three school-fuils.
The great problem is how to keep
down this loss. It is largely a matter
of education, and to that end the
schools are cooperating with health
departments to as great an extent
as possible.
The loss from contagious disease, il
not all charged directly to sickness OF
school children, but to absence enforc.
ed on account Of there being contagious
disease in the family Much of this
loss will be saved when Kenosha has
an isolation hospital, to which persons
suffering from contagious disease
may be sent, thus protecting the other
members Of the family.
The school authorities are anticipat-
ing that the services Of the school nurse
will help them greatly in the reduction
Of the loss Cue to absence caused by
sickness.

With the thermometer lodging up
above ninety every day in the week
and Sunday as well, the directors Of
the new Kenosha Chamber of Commerce
are little hesitant to take up the
rather important proposition of select
ing a secretary and the list of applica-
tions which have piled up in the office
of James Cavanagh, the temporary
chairman of the board, is one that will
take several days to answer. They
have come from all over the country.
Have heart, suggested Mr.. Cav
anagh this morning. cit is so hot that
we can not go at this big bunch of
applications right now, but just as soon
as the weather lets up little the mem
bers of the Board of Directors will take
action. Representatives will be sent to
several cities to investigate men who
are seeking the position of secretary
We are going to be all ready to make
a report in a little while and [ believe
that the Chamber of Commerce will be
assured better start if the weather
is little cooler when we start to get
the members. President Simmons
will be ready to call meeting of the
board just as soon as the special COM
mittee on selection of secretary is
ready to report.

FLEMING FOR LEGISLATURE
Jacob Hermann on the Slate for County
Clerk and John E. Schmitt for Reg
lister of Deeds-O Other Places Filled
by Suggestions Petitions Lacking.

Prominent Democrats OF, the county
declared this morning that the sugges-
tion that Democracy might have no
ticket at the county primary was libel
on the party and it was declared that
a slate of candidates was all ready to
spring on the convention on Saturday
if there is any convention. Some of
them seem to think that the session an
nounced for Saturday will not be neces-
sary unless it is in the nature of a
ratification meeting.
John p. Spartz, of the town of Paris,
and chairman Of the County Board, has
had wished on him the task Of running
for sheriff on the Democratic ticket
and he was in town today consulting
with the Democrats with view of
deciding during the day at to his atti-
tude. 1T is admitted that he has been
sort Of drafted and the leaders of the
party declare that Spartz is too good a
Democrat to decline to make the run.
The candidate for Member of the
Assembly will probably be Tom Flem-
ing of the town of Salem. Like Spartz
he has been drafted, but he has not
given the final answer. Sheriff Andrew
f. Stahl is also mentioned as a can
didate for Member of the Assembly.
"Bet you that / don It rum was the
way the sheriff answered request for
statement as to his candidacy.
Tom Fleming is just the man to go
to the assembly, continued the
sheriff and / am certain that he is go
ing to accept the nomination
It was said that Jacob Hermann,
widely known as one of the champion
bowlers Of the city, had been selected
to make the race for county clerk and
that he was agreeable to the idea. Tt
was said that John F. Schmitt was
slated for the place for register of
deeds and that TEL. B. Kotz would be on
the ticket as candidate for county
treasurer. None Of these men have
announced their candidacy as yet
James E. Tully was on the slate for
district attorney, but he declared that
he had in no way given any authority
for the use of his name and that he
had not decided to enter the race. II.
J. Hastings, the only Democrat to be
elected district attorney III the county
in years, dismissed the suggestion with
"No / wouldn't think Of it. Will
liam O'Brien is slated for reelection
for county surveyor. No one has TAX
en- out petitions to oppose him and it
is not expected that any one will take
out papers. Thomas Hansen, livery
man, and William Smith, the merchant
police officer, are mentioned as candi-
dates for county coroner on the Demo
cratic ticket and it is said that either
of them would be willing to make the
run. John T. Tigh of Brighton, long
prominent in Democratic leadership,
was in the city today, but he declared
that he came in on business and that
he was not looking for any nomination
for anything.

BLIND BABIES OR IMAM
TILE BLINDNESS.

To lose ones eyesight is an
awful thing and if anything
could be worse it would certainly
be to have never seen the sun
light, the flowers, birds and
faces of human beings, not even
ones own mother. And, re-
alizing the awfulness Of this
affliction, the State Board Of
Health has appropriated funds
for the purchase and distribution
of Silver Nitrate solution, and
has supplied the local health de-
partment with enough for all
physicians and midwives of Ke-
nosha, as Section 1409-A-1 re-
quires the attending physician
or midwife to drop a one per
cent solution Of Silver Nitrate
in both eyes of newborn child
rem, and anyone not physician
who attends such cases is con-
sidered midwife under the law
and subject to the same require
ments. The initial distribution
of this Nitrate Of Silver was
approximately seventy thousand
ampules, distributed by the State
Board of Health in their untold
effort to prevent the blindness Of
babies in the state of Wisconsin.
