WILCOX WANTS

Eau Claire Senator Asks
Republicans Here to Tell
Him What They Think of
His Chances This Year.

/. State Senator Roy P. Wilcox. of Eau
Claire, who came within hundred
votes of being the Republican candi.
date for governor in 1918, wants to
know what Kenesha Republicans THINKS
of his trying it all over again. he has
taken the only means necessary to find
out ans has sent number of personal
letters to political friends in the city
and county asking for their opinion of
how kenosha county stands coward his
candidacy. In his letter Senator Will
cox declares that friends In many parts
of the state have suggested that he
seek the nomination at the September
primaries but he does not desire to en-
ter the race for the nomination unless
assured that there is real call fronx
the people for his candidacy, It is said
that similar letters have been sent to
the Wilcox boosters of two years ago In
all parts of the state.
Local Republicans Slow to Respond.
Leaders of the Republican party in
Kenosha county are slow to make any
statement of their preference OF a can
didate for governor. Most of them,
when asked today, What do you think
of Wilcox and his chances for nomina.
tion9" declined to be interviewed. A
few of them said that they were favor
able to Wilcox but others wanted want
ed to wait and see what developed in
the early part of the campaign. Keno
sha Republicans have no special candi-
date for governor and it is not impos-
sible that most Of them win be candi-
dates for seats on the band wagon
when some of the candidates show real
strength. Many of them have had
feelers" from other candidates who
appear to be about tOeeIster the race.
wilcox Strong In Former Race.
Wilcox was strong in Kenssfsa coun.
ty in the primary race two yeazs ago
and it is believed that many of the
men who contributed to his strength
at that time would be ready and will
ing to support him this year. His
legislature service during the past two
years has not made him any weaker so
far as the Kenesha Republicans are
concerned.
No steps have been taken for the
reorganization of the party committees
in Kenosha county as yet and it is not
expected that there will be any show
of activity until after the spring cleo
ton is over. With a presidential cleo
tion in sight it is csnsasn that there
will be much political activity IN Ke-
nosha county and an early opening of
both the Republican and Democratic
headquarters is certain.

DOCTOR SAMPLES
The 'HOME-BREW'

One Kenosha doctor claims the dis
tinction Of being the first of his pro
fession to find some real simon puren
home brew, more than 2.75 per cent =
liquor. He is not elated over the find
but he is today telling his friends of
the experience in order that they may
not be disappointed il the same does
not come their way.
It happened late Monday evening.
The doctor in question was making a
professional call on family On the
west side Of the city. He had finished
administering to the sick and was bow
ing himself gracefully out Of the house.
The head Of the house wanted to be
sociable with the family physician and
urged the latter to wait a minute as
he had something to show him.
From "Molasses and Raisdns.'
II got some raw liquor, Doc.u ex
planned the client. II didn It make it
myself but it was said to have been
made in a Kenosha home-brewing out
fit and I'd like to see what you think
of it. Now, mind ye, this is made out
Of molasses and raisins, cooked up in
mysterious way and I don't think
it's so bad as one might think. =
With that the householder produced
a bottle Of the much talked-of concoc-
ton. Try q little Of it, he urged
as he offered the bottle to the doctor.
HAD the Kick. There.
In the first place the doctor didn t
care for drink even if it had been one
of the regular established brands but
he thought he ought not entirely re-
fuse the offer of hospitality. He took
the bottle, took one sniff and then to
satisfy his host, touched the cork to
his tongue.
1T had the kick alright, = explained
the doctor, but the taste of anything
which even approximates the real stuff
was absolutely lacking. No second
taste for me and if that is what they
get out of the homemade stills I do
not think there is very much danger
Of them being established rapidly.
The owner of the homemade = Ii
quor explained that the connection had
been made for some time-even before
either of the prohibition measures had
become effective and the doctor assert
ed from the kick it gave that it
might have had more age to it than
that. The physician is certain that he
could detect neither the raisin nor the
molasses taste in the liquor and he
is not verifying the story that these
were the ingredients that were nsad in
getting up the connection.

FIRE THREATENED
SIMMONS PLANT
Blaze Which Broke Out in
a Japan Kiln in Building
No. 36 Causes Excitement
in Down Town District.

A spectacular fire with small dam
ages furnished the thrill for the. EN-
ployees Of Simmons company, this morn
ing when a big y Japan kiln on the sec
ond floor Of Building So, caught fire
just before ten D o'clock this morning
and for nearly two hours the fire con-
tinued filing the big building with
smoke and driving workers from their
places. The fire is believed to have
been caused by an electric wire which
passed over the top Of the kiln. 1t was
discovered by one of the foremen of the
department and the fire doors were
closed down but this did not entirly
eliminate danger to the remainder Of
the building. The city fire department
was called into service and five lines of
hose were playing on the big building
to subdre the fire in the kiln and pre-
vent its spread to other parts of the
building and plant.
Lots Of Fire but Little Damage.
Officials of thg company in discussing
the fire said aThere. was lots of fire
and smoke but little damage. 1t was
just another Japan kiln fire and the
damage from it will be small in com
parison to the size of the fire.
Chief Schwartz and his men worked
like beavers to protect the plant from
a spread Of the flames. 1t was a hard
ire to fgth as the burning oils in the
kiln made it impossible for any one to
get. near the scene Of the actual fire.
Fortunately no one was injured as a
result of the fire. Before noon the
irea was under control and the men in
that portion Of the plant had return
ed to work.
