GO. MEETING
SET FOR MAY 10
County Conference to Sc
lect Delegates to Attend
State Meeting.
TO NAME CANDIDATES

Kenosha county will be entitled to
twenty delegates at the Citizens Re-
publican State conference to be held
in Milwaukee on June 1, according to
the formal call for the conference
which was received in Kenosha today.
The same call announces that county
conference will be held on May 10 for
the selection of the twenty delegates
and like number of alternates to the
conference.
The conference is announced as a
thoroughly American" movement and
it is expected that at the Milwaukee
meeting complete state ticket will be
named as the candidates of the Repub-
llcan party in Wisconsin. The nomi-
nations will not be of the cut and fried
character but every name will be pro-
posed from the floor of the convention
and it is the understanding that every
delegate to the conference will be
pledged to the support of the can
didates named by the majority.
No Rump Ticket Afterward.
There is no secret that the confer
ence is called with view of saving the
Republican party Of Wisconsin from
being swallowed alive by the Non
Partisan League and the Socialists.
The platform to be offered the confer
ence will be an old fashioned Republic
an platform and will be in conformity
with the principles of the National Re-
publican party. Many of the best
known leaders of the Republicans in
Wisconsin have been named as leaders
at the conference and they have prom
ised to give their support to the nomi-
nees of the conference no matter who
may be selected by the majority of the
delegates. 1t is expected that leading
Republicans of Kenosha county, rep
resenting every ward in the city and
every town in the county will be named
as delegates to the conference.
See Return to Old Ideals.
"The conference is simply return
to the old ideals of the Republican
party" said one of the Republican
leaders today. eve want to get a
platform and ticket which will not
be handed out to us by the Non-Par-
tlsan League. We want men on the
Republican ticket who can be expected
to stand for Republican principles and
not compromise with every Tom, Dick
and Harry organization just to gain a
few votes along about election time.
We believe that the Republican party
is strong enough to stand in Wiscon-
sin without being sold out to the North
Dakota eXperimenters. For the most
part the men who are urging this con-
ference have no political ambitions
of their own or no friends whom they
are seeking to boost to places on the
Republican ticket What they want
is a ticket which will be made UP of
men who will stand for Republican
principles"
Make Organization State Wide.
The organization does not plan to
stop with the nomination of candid
ates in the Milwaukee conference, but
the work is to be carried into the pri-
maries in every legislative district in
the state with view of securing the
nomination and election of men to of
fee who will stick for Republican prin-
ciples.
The movement is counted on to
counterfeit against the close relation
which has grown up between certain
elements and the Non-P Partisan League
and the Socialists. This organization
has already announced that it will
make an effort to get control of every
legislative district in Wisconsin with
view Of putting over the 'league"
program in Wisconsin during the com
ing two years.
