EDWARD H. FRANDsEN DEAD.
Prominent Kenosha Man Died just At
ter Noon Today Following
Long Illness.

Edward II. Frandsen, aged 55 years
and long prominently Connected with the
business interests of Kenosha, died at
the family residence, 451 Garden street,
just after noon today. Mr.. Frandsen
had been in failing health for some
time but few of his friends had known
that his condition was critical. He was
forced to give up his work on last Sat
urday and since that time his condition
had been a matter of grave concern
to his friends. He suffered from dia-
betes and this ailment complicated with
heart disease brought death today.
Mr.. Frandsen was a native of Den
mark where he was born Nov. 8, 1862.
He came to this country when he was
seventeen years of age and for the past
twenty-five years he had been a resi-
dent of Kenosha. Few men in the city
had wider circle of friends. He was
a member of the Danish Brotherhood
and the Kenosha Lodge of the Knights
of Pythias. Surviving are his widow,
one daughter, Miss Hazel Frandsen, and
one son, Paul Frandsen. The funeral
services will be, held from the late resi-
dence at half-past two CLOCK Saturday
afternoon with interment at Green
Ridge.

BALLOTS TO MANY CITIES.
City Clerk Has Already Given Out
Nine Ballots ON Which Votes
Will be Cast by Mail

That the state law permitting vot-
ing by United States mail, is going to
be taken advantage of by a lot of
Kenosba people temporarily out of the
city, is shown by the demand that is
being made on the city clerk for bal
lots for absent voters. Nine of these
ballots have already been either given
or sent out. One of them went way
down to Torrington, Conn.,, another to
New York City and another to Hot
Springs, Ark. Several men who are
not going to be any farther from Ke-
nosha than Chicago on Tuesday have
asked for ballots. 1t is expected that
the total number of ballots voted by
mail will be in excess of twenty-five.
County Clerk Jones has also arranged
to meet the demand for absent ballots
for voting in the various towns and
several applications for them have al
ready been filed. People going out of
the city need not lose their vote on
big questions this year. 1t is easy to
fill out the affidavit for the ballot and
it may be voted from any place which
is reached by the United States mail,
whether in this or some other county.

CAN'T VOTE ON FIRST PAPERS.
Clerk of the Circuit Court Is Bombarded
With Demands for Information
As to Rights.

That more interest is being taken in
the city election on next Tuesday than
ever before is shown by the fact that
Clerk Ben DeDeimar of the Circuit
court who is also in charge of the
Naturalization Bureau for the county
is being bombarded with telephone calls
from men who have taken out their
first papers asking if they have right
to vote on Tuesday. The clerk has told
every one of them that the only people
who can vote at the election are people
who have all the rights of citizens and
that people having only first papers
can not vote. He has notified several
women that women may vote for school
commissioner and on school bonds
if they are citizens but that native
born woman who marries foreigner
who has not been fully naturalized has
no right to vote on this question. 1t is
certain that many holders of first pa
pers are of the opinion that they have
a right to vote on the license question
and this belief is expected to cause
some trouble at the polls on Tuesday.

CAPT. HOBSON IS
STIRRING TALKER
Continued from page L.,

1t took one hundred of its soldiers out
for target practice. The target showed
thirty hits out of each one hundred
shots fired. 1t gave each man one
ordinary sized glass of beer, let him
have thirty minutes rest and recalled
him for target practice. This time
but four shots of each one hundred
fired hit the mark. The government
ordered alcoholic beverages out Of
the army and navy.
Russia's Prohibition Succeeds.
He told the story of the increase Of
production in Russia since absolute
prohibition was declared by the gov
eminent at the beginning of the war,
in spite Of the decrease by reason of
the absence of its able bodied men at
the front. The people have accumu-
lated more in savings banks in the
past two years, bank reports show, than
in seventy-fve years preceding and
this despite the drain of the war.
Mortality reports by government show
Russia went "dry'' in spite Of its
jump upward because of war NOR
tality. The country is producing
fifty per cent more produce than
before the war;
Want Men to be True to Themselves.
Capt. Hobson's final appeal was to
the voter to have the courage of his
convictions. He said he realized that
it took courage to vote right, and that
probably in this town as in others
where the dry campaign had been
made, the liquor dealers would threaten
to injure the business and the political
chances of those who opposed them,
but he added that he knew the stuff
of which the true American is made
and that he believed they would
stand by their guns here and vote
according to their convictions in
spite of menacing threats.
Is Dramatic in Story.
The speaker gave a brief but thrill
ing account of the sinking of the Mer-
rlmac, picturing the courage of his
men who went down with the ship,
but modestly emitting to mention his
own historically heroic conduct on that
occasion. He said those men were just
ordinary Americans and he believed
that the voters of Kenosha had the
same courage to fight this ballot bat
tie for the betterment Of their country
which his sailor lads had when they
made their immortal records.
The speaker was introduced in a
we'll worded talk by Chester d.
Barnes. Several musical selections
preceded the opening of the program.

TrlME, plBMpliD
Mr.. Editor:

Here is little story for you.
1t was Saturday. Mary and Johnny
waved farewell to father from the
porch and watched him stride off up
the street, swinging his dinner pail.
Then, brim full of glee, they rushed
in to mother with the joyous news.
Mary, being feminine, got her word in
first.
ssOh mother! = she exclaimed,
Father says we can go on picnic
tomorrow. All day, too, MOTHER
And Johnny, being masculine, add
ed, "And take our lunch!''
Mother Is tired eyes frightened and
all day long her step seemed lighter
and once or twice her voice broke into
snatches of song 1t would be such joy
to spend day in the woods, altogeth-
er. An unusually good dinner, nice
and hot, awaited father s coming and
the eager eyes of Mary and Johnny
watched to see him swing up the
street.
But father was slow in coming and
gradually dinner grew cold and soggy,
while Mary and Johnny tried, oh SO
hard, not to be cross, and mother Is
face sank gradually back into their
habitual lines Of quiet tragedy.
Father did not come home at all for
dinner. Mary and Johnny, visions of
the morrow still dancing before their
eyes, went quietly to bed at mother IS
suggestion, but Mary wiped tear
from her chin after mothers good
night kiss.
With tired limbs that ached and
cried for sleep, mother turned and
tossed upon her bed, listening with
every nerve stretched taut for the I'M
certain step of the man she loved.
1t came at last, toward dawn, slow,
lingering, uncertain, and presently the
room was filled with the pungent, pu-
trid, nauseating odor Of stale liquor.
Mother, feigning the sleep that was
rightfully hers, sought to still with
her hand the fercely beating heart
that threatened to suffocate her.
Mary and Johnny, eager and joyous
on this blissful day, piled out of bed
in happy anticipation, helping with
willing hands at many little tasks to
speed the moment of departure.
Not until breakfast was over could
mother bring herself to blight the sun
shine in their hearts and say they
could not go, because father had a
! "sick headache and needs must
spend the day in bed. And mother,
as she turned her head away to. hide
the tears, wondered how much longer
she must lie to her children, how much
longer she could keep from them the
knowledge that their father was
drunkard.
The greater part of a weeks wages
gone, heart-stricken woman, two
disappointed and faithful children, a
man Supplied and sodden, unfit men

The plan to have the circuit court
clerk appointed by the judge of that
court is one which should receive sup
port from the state legislature. If a
man has brains enough to sit on the
bench, he certainly should have enough
gray matter to appoint clerk. Why
have political fight over an office
which is distinctly out of politics.
