cit can be done in Kenosha'' has
become the slogan of the G. A. R. in its
preparations for the state encampment

able il the history of the Wisconsin

carry this declaration is more than an
idle boast. To be sure there are skep-
ties who remember other conventions and

be done in Kenosha - This answer has
