.ATTY-GENERAL
AT WLMOT FAIR
Attorney General Morgan
to Speak at West Keno
sha County Fair.
PLANS ARE EXTENSIVE

After a great deal of time and effort
was put forth by the board of directors
of the West Kenosha County Fair or
ganization in trying to secure a real
live speaker to deliver a speech that
would really be worthwhile to the peo-
pie of Kenosha county, word was re-
ceived from Attorney General VIM. Z.
Morgan of Madison, stating that he
would be with US on the second day of
the fair and address the people of the
county at 2:30 the afternoon of Sat
urday, Oct. /.
The attorney general is without a
doubt one of the greatest speakers Of
the day, and the fact that the Office of
attorney general is considered second
airy only to the governors position will
go far in encouraging the people of Ke-
nosha county to avail themselves of the
treat that awaits them.
Attorney Randall to Speak.
Judge Randall, former U. S. repre-
sentative from this district, has kindly
consented to deliver a short address to
the people at the same time. Those
who heard Judge Randall address the
people at the Old Settlers picnic a
short time ago will certainlyebe on
hand to get what he has to offer The
talk by Judge Randall alone will be
sufficient to pay you for the time and
effort you may have to put forward to
attend the fair at WilmOt. Judge Ran
dali will introduce Attorney General
Morgan
MANY Entries Are Listed.
A great deal of interest has been
shown and attention has been given by
outsiders up to the present time. The
secretary reports that entries are COM
ing in steadily, and the fact that two
whole weeks remain before the fair
will take place proves to some extent
what the size of the fair will be. Sec
rotary Roy Button reports that quite
number of entries have already been
made by people residing in Racine
county, and that considerable number
Of entries, are being made by people re-
siding in the state of Illinois.
The various committees have been
appointed and regular meetings will be
held by each committee between now
and fair time.
Regular letters are being sent out 70
all teachers in the county at the pres
ent time, encouraging them to take part
in the parade and also encouraging

letter to all school officials asking them
to permit the teachers to attend the
fair on Friday if they so desire.
