KENOSHA COUNTY IS LOYAL
First District Piles Up Big Vote FOE
Judge Belden and Other Counties in
the State Are Proving a Big Help
Northern Counties Are Strong.

Judge E. B. Belden of Racine, made
wonderful run for Supreme Court
Justice on Tuesday and at three
O'Clock this afternoon, with returns
Ill from less than half the state, it is
declared that the victory is between
Judge Belden, Judge Franz G. Esch-
weller of Milwaukee and Judge Ches-
ter A. Fowler of Fond du Lac. It is
admitted that Walter d. Corrigan OF
Milwaukee, is running far in the rear
and that Judge Turner is not expected
to be possibility when the returns
are all in. Eschweiler ran strong in
Milwaukee and has been given good
support throughout the state, while
Fowler claimed his strength in the
Fox River Valley.
The Milwaukee men who have been
tabulating returns from all over the
state, declared this afternoon that it
was impossible at that time to give
figures, but that it looked like either
Belden or Eschweiler with Fowler
a close third.
Judge Belden attended the dinner of
the Kenosha Bar Association at the
Hotel haywood this afternoon but he
declared that he had received such
scattering returns that he could not
nrediet TIRE outepmg of the election
throughout f3s5 stoGe. He insisted
that such returns as he had received
had been very encouraging. He was
given very large vote in all the
counties in this section of the state.
It viii probably be some time tomor-
row before the result of the judicial
election is known.
Judge Belden was given a splendid
endorsement by the voters of Keno
sha city and county and while he suf-
fered in the city on account of the
fact That his name was placed way
down on the list on the machine he
received a total of 1878 votes, which
was more than were cast for all of
his opponents in the city. Out in the
towns of the county he ran far ahead
Of the other candidates and the vote
in the county towns brought his
total up to 1882.
Walter D. Corrigan of Milwaukee,
was second with a total vote for the
county of 500, of which ATS were cast
in the city. Judge Eschweiler of Mil
Waukee 412 votes in the city and 81
II the county. Judge Fowler of Fond
du Lac polled but 148 votes in the en-
tire county, and Judge Turner of Mil
waukee had but 301. The total
vote for the county for justice was
as follows:

Mr.. BUCKMASTER
ADDRESSES BAR
His Subject Is ethics of
the Profession" He
Holds Up High
Standard.
LAUDS Oath LAW REQUIRES
LAUDs Oath LAW REQUIRES
Says It Covers ALI Lawyer Should Be
Lawyers Duty to Client Is AS
Great as Doctors or Minis
,ter's to His Public.
--s--ssus-u,-u---s-=--a

"The work of the lawyer today is
net so much to get people out of trou-
BILE as to keep them out" said A. &.
Buckmaster in an address on "The
Ethics Of the Profession" before the
Bar association at it's banquet in the
haywood hotel, this noon. Mr.. Buck
master held a high ideal before his
colleagues Of what the lofty minded
attorney-at-law should be, and of the
influence he should WELD for right and
the betterment Of the community in
which he lives.
"Instead of stirring up strife and
litigation" said Mr.. Buckmaster, ga
conscientious lawyer endeavors to pre-
vent strife, to decrease litigation and
to establish harmony where harmony
does not exist. This is often done at
the loss of a fee, but the honest prac-
titioner, nevertheless, whenever it is
possible to do so without sacrificing his
clients interests, becomes a peacemak-
er, Of if you please, a eompromiser. "
Mr.. Buckmaster here quoted the fol
lowing from Chief Justice Ryan:
t.'Craft is the vice, not the spirit of
the profession, Trickery is profession
al prostitution. Falsehood is profess
sional apostasy. The strength of a
lawyer is in a thorough knowledge of
legal truth, and in thorough devotion
to legal rights
Mr.. Buckmaster quoted another great
jurist as having said that there is no
profession after that Of the sacred
ministry in which high toned moral
ity is more imperatively necessary than
in that Of the law, and that there is
no other profession in which so many
temptations beset the path to swerve
from the lines of strict integrity in
which so many delicate and difficult
questions of duty are constantly aris-
ing.
FAnd I might say" continued the
speaker, "there is no profession in the
world carrying a greater load of con-
demnation for the evils which exist in
it's broad fields of endeavor and no one
knows better than lawyer how ready
the average layman is to lay at the
door of the profession almost every
crime within the category, either as
principal or as accessory before or af-
ter the fact.
"The term, honest lawyer, has too
often been used only as a joke, and it
seems impossible to escap the stigma
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1916-04-06

of dishonesty which from tire immem-
orial has been laid upon from without
or brought upon from within the pro-
fe3sion.
Even the Master said, Woe unto
you also, We lawy~rsl For We lade men
with burdens grievous to be borne, and
|ye yourselves touch not the burdens
with one of your fingers. !"
Mr.. Buckmaster scathingly denounc-
ed those lawyers who descend to such
trickery as citing as authority an over
ruled case, treating a repealed statute
as in existence; knowingly misquoting
the language of decision or text book;
knowingly misquoting the contents of
a paper, the testimony of witness or
the language or argument of opposite
counsel; offering evidence which it is
known the court must reject as Illegal,
to get it before the jury, under the
guise or arguing its admissibility, and
all kindred practices.
"No reputable attorney" said the
speaker, E'will knowingly allow wit
ness produced by him to commit per-
jury or to misstate the facts in his
possession in such q manner as to mis-
lead the court or the jury.
GA lawyer may advise a witness how
his testimony may be most forcibly
stated to convey the truth. 1t is his
duty to confer with the witnesses, to
advise them as to the manner of ex-
animation, etc., but this is not coach
ing as the term is generally used.
81 think I may say that the bar of
this county and to great extent the
bar of this state is not given to ques-
tionable and deceitful practices as is
the case in some other jurisdictions.
Those of you who have had experience
in the courts of Chicago may have
doubted whether there is any well de-
fined code of ethics governing the law
yers of that jurisdiction or if such a
code exists, whether there is any
avowed purpose on the part of the law
yers to abide by it,
Mr.. Buckmaster read the oath which
the state of Wisconsin requires of every
lawyer before he can be admitted to
practice in the state, which concludes
with the solemn statement: CT will
never reject, from any consideration
personal to myself, the cause of the de-
fenseless or oppressed, or delay any
mans cause for lucre or malice. So
help me God"
The speaker said he wished a copy of
the oath in its entirety might be hung
in every court room in the state and
In the Office of every lawyer.
The lawyers duty to his client is
no less sacred than that of the minis
ter to his parishioner or the physician
u u hiss sid ~. Feed aster.
!" His bond of secrecy and confidence is
respected by the courts and must not
be violated in the slightest degree.
Life's tragedies and comedies, the
shadows and the sunshine which go to
make up the great total Of human ex-
perience are mis-.
"The lawyers Office is a charnel
house of family skeletons. It is a
clearing house for human passions; the
hopes, the fears, the loves, the hates,
the joys and the sorrows of his eli
ents. -
In closing his address, MIR. Buckmas-
ter epitomized the highest duty of the
lawyer in these words: "To the bench.
Difference; to the bar, courtesy; to the
client, loyalty; and to the public, in
tegrity."

Charles II. 'Pfennig, former mayor
and former member of the assembly
from Kenosha county, was elected
mayor of Kenosha on Tuesday when he
def 3ated M. j. Scholey, the present
mayor, by a majority of 1876 votes,
after one of the hardest campaigns in
the history of Kenosha.
The victory of Mayor-Elect Pfennig
brought great rejoicing in the city on
Tuesday night and today as it is hailed
as a real victory of the people.
Mayor-Elect Pfennig won his victory
on account Of the, splendid support
given to him on the south side of the
city. He carried the first, second,
third, fourth and fifth wards by ma
iorities ranging from 200 to 16 votes
and the usual large majorities of Mr..
Scholey in the north wards were not
large enough to overcome the vote CIV
en- to Pfennig in the wards on this side
of the river.
Never in the history Of the city was
so loyal support given to candidate
for mayor as was given to the mayor
elect. The vote in the city was close
to 1890 and the vote Of 1888 given to
Mr.. Pfennig was the largest ever given
to a candidate for mayor in the city.
The end of the big battle was not
without its spectacular features. The
polls closed at eight O'Clock but even
with the use of the machines it was
an hour later before the last wards
were heard from. The anxious watch
ers in the downtown Offices had thrills
and thrills a plenty.
The mayor came marching down to
the bridge with a majority of 369 and
he picked up half dozen votes in
the ninth ward. This looked like a
considerable majority for Pfennig to
overcome. The first ward contributed
60 toward the election of Pfennig and
the lead of his opponent was cut 16
more by the fourth ward. The fifth
came nobly to the front and brought
the majority of Scholey down to 1885,
Then the second ward came in with a
majority for Pfennig of ISL leaving
the mayor margin of but FIVE votes
with the third ward to hear from.
Even at this the mayor did not con-
cede defeat. He was still hopeful that
the third would continue him in power.
When the vote of the third came lust
after nine O'Clock it showed a great
majority for Pfennig and insured his
election.
MayOr-Elect Pfennig was waiting at
his home for the results. Almost as
soon as he had been advised by tele-
phone that the people had chosen him
as their leader the big parade was NOV
ing west on Prairie avenue, the band
playing "The Stars and Stripes" and
the leaders of the non-partisan commit
tee marching ahead, carrying the "new
brooms" 1t was some parade. Mayor
Elect Pfennig was given a great ova-
tion at his home.
81 want to thank you boys" he
started out, but it was a speech that
was never made, for the leaders of the
committee rushed him off his feet and
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1916-04-06

carried him on their shoulders to the
waiting automobile and the parade in
celebration of the election continued.
1t went down Market street to Main
street and amidst the cheers of the
thousands of people on the street the
victory of Pfennig was loudly acclaim
ed Mayor-Elect Pfennig was given a
most enthusiastic reception by the peo-
pie.
"Just say that I am very much
pleased" was his comment, "and I
hope that my work as mayor will be
such that the people will be pleased
when the term is over.'
The defeated candidates received the
gloomful returns of the election at the
"place" on Elizabeth street. "Just
say that I wish him luck and that /
am not worrying. was the message
that Mr.. Scholey sent out when the re-
turns showed that there was no doubt
Of the election Of Pfennig.
The election of Pfennig was only one
of the features of the election. With
him there was elected council which
will give him every support.
The interest in the fights for alder
man were almost Of as much interest
as over the head of the ticket. In the
first ward George Roberts who sought
reelection defeated Joseph W. Tully
who had been made something of a
favorite in the betting by majority
Of over 80. Alderman Charles Barr
won an easy victory over E. J. Filbin
in the second and Alderman Bounsall
and former Alderman Thomey had clear
sailing in the third ward. Thomey
came to the front with one Of his old
time majorities, he having the largest
majority of any aldermanic candidate
named at the election.
In the fourth ward Charles L. Rock
well, new conner to the political field,
brought defeat to Alderman Herman
Martin by narrow margin of votes
and for the short term in this ward
Ernest Schroeder won over B. M. ia
cobsen by margin of but votes.
The fifth ward named Charles Boylan
and Edmund Stein, both winning by
small majorities. George Fischer, Jr
ran far ahead of Alderman Jacob Rau-
en- in the sixth. George R. Wade failed
to realize his dream of coming back in
the seventh and Dan Wachs defeated
him by small margin. John w. Wade
ran nearly fifty votes ahead Of John
W. Hacker in the eighth.
The ninth ward brought surprise
when G. M. Hoppe defeated DR.. w. T.
Flatley by majority Of votes.
One of the interesting contests was
the battle between Mrs. Mary G. Rob-
inson and Mrs. Una Slater White for
the office Of school commissioner in the
first ward. This brought out the
largest woman vote in any ward of the
city and Mrs. Robinson was returned
winner by a majority Of " votes.
In the exciting contest between
George Wallis and Mrs. Beatrice Ives
Welles for the Office of school commits
sioner in the second ward, Mrs. Welles
won by margin of 80 votes.
The vote on the tax levy for fund
for recreation purposes was decidedly
large and out of a total of close to
three thousand votes, the largest cast
on "little BALLOT in Kenosha in
years, the play ground movement was
approved by a majority of 90 votes.

Elephants Sonata,

Here is a good story about the clev-
erness of an Italian Snowman: An ele-
plant was advertised to play a sonata
on the piano. A great crowd assem-
bled and money was refused at the
doors. There was a very solid plat.
form, and grand pianoforte. The ele-
plant |'came on" and was received
with deafening applause. The in
presario led it up to the instrument,
when it suddenly turned tail and
walked away. Nothing could be done
to induce it to come back, and the au-
dience got excited and seemed to think
they were the victims of a fraud.
Whereupon the manager addressed
them, and announced that the animal,
usually so docile, had recognized in
the notes on the keyboard of the piano
the teeth Of It's mother, and positively
declined to play on that instrument.
The Italian audience was as much
amused with the story as they ex-
Dected to be with the sonata, and the
elephant, coming on again and doing
few tricks, was cheered, and danger
Gus consequences averted.

In the course of comment upon the
various so-called "offenses" of Ex-
Gov. Fletcher which the Ludlow Tri-
bune is from time to time bringing
out, the Rutland Herald touches upon
a matter which many people in Ver-
mont we imagine would like to hear
more about. There are matters start
ed in Fletcher's time which are still
dragging along. Here is the Herald s
statement,
The Herald seems to remember an
other absolutely objectionable crime.
It offended all the politicians most Of
the lawyers and number of court
officials of high and low degree. 1t
had to do with the highest legal tri-
bunal of the state. AS the Herald
viewed it, it was absolutely warranted
in the law and the constitution, yet
the court most interested was never
permitted to pass on it.
Why not? If this former governor
had unlawfully, UNREASONABLE and
violently violated the constitution in
it's most sacred precincts, why was
he not hailed before the courts. or at
least his official deeds reviewed by the
court most interested?
Some of these offences pass casual
review. They are too serious for
scoffing words. How is it that the
