Conference Held on Saturday Evening Pro-
poses Former Sheriff as Congress
siOnal Candidate.
STAHL SAYS MOT IN POLITICS NOW
Leader of Kenosha Democrats to Be Urged to Fill Va
cant Space on Democratic Ticket and Friends
Claim He Will Accept Call.

q good Democrat and he has never
lalIed to answer a party call and if
We propose him as a candidate for
congress and draft him for a place on
the ticket We are certain that he will
make the race"
Andrew F. Stahl is probably the best
known Democrat in Kenosha county
he has served the county as sheriff for
three terms and has always had very
large, bipartisan support in seeking
ONCE. He is a whirlwind campaigner
and the fact that he was born and rails
ed IN the county has given him a wide
acquaintance. He has for years been
one OF the first leaders of the Demo
cratic party in this section Of the
state. He has sat in state conventions
OF the Democracy and in district con-
ventions and he has been accorded a
leadership that has brought him much
into the political limelight. Kenosha
Democrats feel that Stahl is sufficient
ly we'll known throughout the district
to make him real candidate for con-
gress in this district.
In Touch with National Ticket.
Former Sheriff Stahl has come out
firmly for the nominees Of the San
Francisco convention and he is en-
tirely regular" as a Democrat. It is
believed by his political friends that
he can come nearer uniting the Dem
ocracy of the First Wisconsin District
than any other Democrat who has
been suggested for the office.
In the first district there has NOT
been any great number Of candidates
suggested for the congressional race
and as yet not single Democratic
candidate has taken out petitions for
nominations. There has been some
talk of the naming of Attorney Calvin
Stewart as candidate for the Democ-
racy but Mr.. Stewart has announced
that he is not candidate for the nom
ination and that he has no idea of com
ing into the field later. AS petitions
must be filed before July 9th and
there is considerable work connected
with circulating petition for a candi-
dacy for congressman the Democratic
candidate must have his paper in cir
culation soon. 1t is not believed. that
there would be any opposition to the
nomination of Former Sheriff Stahl
should he consent to come into the
Democratic race.
Today Mr.. StahI admitted that he
had heard of the movement to name
him the Democratic candidate in the
district. Il know that there is a com
mittee in Racine and one at GAINESVILLE
but have given neither any encour-
agement," said Mr.. Stahl. ST did not
attend the meeting in Kenosha Satur-
day night. | have not even mentioned
the matter to my wife"
It was indicated that the former
sheriff was interested. He is not as
yet convinced that the time is ripe to
make the run for congress. 1t was
said that an announcement Of forma al
nature might be made tomorrow.
