CAMELS RECEIVE
FEW RESPONSES
Candidates Hesitate to Go
on Record on Prohibi-
ton Question.
THOMPSON "EYASIVE"

Wisconsin candidates for legislative
offices do not seem to be crowding to
go on record as to their stand on the
wet" and dry" proposition and only
very small percentage of the announc-
ed candidates for legislative positions
have made answer to the QUESTIONABLE
Of the Order of Camels stating their
stand on the question SO near the heart
of the Camels. Local officials of the
order have been advised that ques-
tionnaires have been sent to eighty
six Of the possible Wisconsin candi-
dates. Secretary Claude r. Diegle in
making his reports and in speaking of
replies which would be effective in
this territory announces that Mayor
McHenry of Oshkosh is against the
18th amendment and the Volstead act.
He is declared to favor the repeal of
the former and enlargement Of the
alcoholic percentage in the latter and
has beer and light wine plank in his
platform.
Weber On Same Platform.
Frank j. Weber, Socialist, who is a
candidate for United States Senator
takes the same stand as McHenry,
James M. Thompson of Lacrosse who
is accredited with having the LaFol-
lette support has sent an answer to the
letter, 1t is characterized as "evasive"
He does not answer a single question,
says he stands with LaFollette, prom
ised US a copy of his platform which
has not been received" is the detailed
report on Thompson. Lenroot has
made no response as yet. James Davies,
Democrat said to be candidate for
Governor who has not as yet announc-
governor who has not as yet announce
ed his candidacy is understood to be
liberal.
The only congressional candidate in
the First District to make any reply
to the QUESTIONABLE is j. G. Adams
of Waukesha county who is declared
to take the same stand as A. G. Nc
Henry and Frank Weber.

pleaded his case so eloquently that the
lady of his heart could net say him
nay. She even sacrificed the delights
of pre-nuptial parties and the select
ing Of the frilly, frothy trousseau
things which are SO dear to the heart
of bride-elect. The elimination Of
the happy romance Wednesday brought
the realization that no plans had been
made for the sending out of formal
announcements and it was the most in
formal statement of the marriage
which reached Kenosha friends today.
Popular At School.
Lawrence Donley was one of the
most popular members Of the local
younger set when the Donley family
lived in Kenosha He attended the
Kenosha High school where he was
prominent in academic and athletic
activities. He concluded his high
school education at Berkeley, Calf.
When the United States entered the
war he entered the naval service. He
is now general superintendent of the
W. B. Sumner corporation of Los
Angeles, one of the biggest companies
in that city.
Mrs. Donley and his bride have the
best wishes of hoses Of Kenoshs
friends.

Autos Wrecked
Driver Runs Away
Kenosha Motorcycle Officer Arrests
Cnicagoan but He Escapes While
Officer Telephones.

A reckless driver and loose brake
band combined to cause bad smash
on the Lakeshore Road just over the
county line in Kenosha county late
Monday afternoon, in which Simon
Grant of the Grant Furniture Com
pany, Racine, and six members Of the
Grant family narrowly escaped in
jury.
The Grant party was returning from
Chicago. Simon Grant was at the
wheel Of the car and was driving north
on the cement road just south Of the
Racine County line. A large machine
was seen approaching from the north
at terrific rate of speed. 1t was ev-
ident from the manner in which the
car was being handled that every
other machine on the road was in
danger.
The strange car passed three ma
chimes in sight of the rant party,
and when Simon Grant perceived that
it was the intention Of the driver to
pass a fourth automobile when only a
short distance separated the Racine
car from the speeders, he drew over
to the edge of the road and slowed
down until his machine was barely
moving. The speeding automobile
turned out on the wrong side of the
road to pass the machine ahead Of IT,
and the driver, seeing that collision
with the Grant car was inevitable,
shut off his power and decreased the
momentum Of his machine slightly,
but crashed head-on into the Racine
car, wrecking both automobiles.
A few seconds after the accident,
Kenosha county motorcycle deputy
sheriff rode up and told the Illinois
man he was under arrest for reckless
driving. Convinced from the condition
of both machines that neither party
could drive away, the deputy rode to
a nearby house to telephone into Ke-
nosha for other officers and help, and
when he returned the Illinois party
had vanished, leaving the machine in
the road.

THE CRUCIAL YEAR.

Kenoshans who attended Thursdays
Red Cross conference in Milwaukee,
report that local women may have to
return to the work Of making clothes
for refugees. Speeches made at the
gathering by Mrs. Carberry and Mr..
Allison indicate that reconstruction is
proceeding slowly in Europe and that
many Of its people are suffering just
as acutely as in war-times They also
suggest that help through 1920, the
crucial year, will put these peoples
we'll on the way to complete recovery
from the horrors of "the four horse
men," war, famine, pestilence, and
death. The speakers urged too, that
home service work be continued in all
parts of the United States until every
soldier had readjusted himself to
civilian life and had learned to handle
his postwar affairs in such way as to
insure him no loss on insurance, allot-
ments, state and national bonuses.
