KenOsha County Leaders Get Irto Step With
State Organization to Name
4. ...a-- State Ticket.
TWENTY DELEGATES ARE NAMED
Every Ward and Every Town Represented in List of
Delegates to Attend Conference in MiIwau-
ses~ kee on June mo Endorsements

candidates for state office were brought
up at the conference and no resolutions
other than the declarations of the COM
nrittee of forty-four were proposed for
adoption. In the preliminaries before
the convention was called, there was
a general discussionl of the merits of
candidates and there appeared to be
a strong sentiment in favor of the
nomination of Attorney General Will
liam j. Morgan for governor. The
name of President Garfield of Carroll
college was repeatedly mentioned for
the office Of United States senator and
there was strong sentiment in favor
of the nomination of Mortimer E..
Walker for attorney general. The call
sent to, the county did not in any way
suggest the endorsement of candidates
and for this reason no resolutions of
endorsement were brought up.
It is understood that a meeting of
the delegates and alternates will be
called for later in the month at which
time plans will be laid for united ac-
ton by the delegation on the floor of
the convention. In this way the unin-
structed delegates will work out their
own plan of action.
1t was held that a delegation thor
oughly free to act in convention was
in complete keeping with the senti-
ment which has prompted the calling
of the state conference.

And all this because, following the

YOUNG HUSBAND
!. BEAT At HIS WIFE
Judge Slater Hands Stiff
Sentence to Nestor Hor-
VI aceafor Assault.
Mothers Day FIGHT

The fact that it was Mothers Day on
Sunday did not deter one young man
from picking a quarrel with his wife's
mother, which ended sadly for him in
the municipal court this morning, when
the young wife with her head wrapped
in white bandage which told its own
story of assault, and the husband in
penitent mood, appeared before Judge
Slater. The judge inquired into the
reason for their appearance in court
and the wife, Mrs. Vera Horace, de-
clared that her husband had struck her.
Are you guilty or not guilty?" asked
the judge.
Guilty" replied the defendant.
"That is, would never touch my wom-
an, but l am guilty of assault on my
mother-in-
"Bht your wife shows by her appear
ance that she has been hurt" replied
Judge Slater. "How do you account
for that %
"Well you see l was having an argu-
ment with my mother-in-law, and my
wife came between, and l don't know
how it happened but she fell over soms
chairs and got hurt"
Had a Little Shine On.
The judge turned to the wife for her
story which varied a little from that
told by Horace and had the touch Of
bitterness Of a twentieth century young
woman who believes that beatings be-
long to the cave-man era and resents it.
"He struck me. your honor" she de-
clared. "He tried to strike me Sunday
morning and he finished up last night"
Mrs Horace in reply to the courts
questions said that she and Horace had
been married fifteen months, had no
children, and that her husband some
times indulged too freely in drink.
'Had he been drinking yesterday ?"
asked the judge.
"Well he was shined up just little
bit, but he didn't have much. Before
we married he told me he had sworn
off and that he didn't touch drop"
swell, we don't want to have any
wife beaters around here" said Judge
Slater. Fifty dollars and costs or
three months IN jail" Horace went to
Jail at least for the time being.

ANGLERS ENJOY
TRIP TO LAKES.
Fish and Game Association
Members Have Outing
at Twin Lakes.
HEAR CAMPBELL TALK


Here's the first real fish story of the
season! And it's not the so-called
"fshyfsh" type either
Enthusiastic members of the Keno
sha County Fish and Game Protective
association had their inning Saturday
afternoon in the form ofsGn outing at
Twin Lakes. About seventy five mem.
bers of this outdoor sport-loving or.
ganizatibn assembled and formed an
auto caravan and motored to the lake
resort, the scene of an afternoons liye
program of entertainment and merri-
ment. Only one detail marred what
would have been voted huge success
full time. Mr.. DeGramo, of Chicago,
champion amateur caster who was en-
gagged to give an exhibition of his
prowess with the rod was unable to be
present due to death in the family.
Campbell Gives Talk.
H. Campbell, of the Milwaukee Jour
nal, gave an inspiring address on for
estry and reforestration. In connec-
ton with this interesting topic motion
pictures were used and the various
lakes, rivers and forests referred to in
Mr.. Campbell's talk were pointed out.
His message brought forth rounds of
applause from his attentive listeners.
Mr.. Clark of Racine gave a short
outline : on the proposed Northern
Lakes park purchase. He is in charge
of the Kencsha and Racine counties in
the raising of funds for such a pro-
ject. This is statewide movement,
of interest to all people. The more
richly endowed tend to have their own
summer homes. The men of modest
means, whose vacation is spent camp
ing, or in shack or small log house,
will find the park an cutters paradise
for him. Under the regulations of the
State Conservation commission camp
ing sites will be available and sites for
summer cottages may be leased at a
normal figure.
1t is said special committee for
the campaign in Kenosha will be ap-
pointed soon.
Many Try Casting.
Many of the/Kenoshans at the out
ing exhibited their skill with their
casting rods, even though Mr.. De-
Gramo, the champ, was not present.
Some good distances were recorded,
too. Judging from the vim and go
demonstrated at Twin Lakes Saturday
the local members will enjoy big
fishing season. Kenosha lovers of the
great sport of fishing and hunting who
are not already members Of the Pro-
tectiye association are missing a lot
of clean sport and enjoyment and they
should become members at once.

European Prosperity
Is Prosperity Here

Philadelphia - There are in Europe
vast potential demands for all kinds
of American products and vast poten-
tial means for the creation Of wealth
and consequently of purchasing pow
er and capacity, Charles NJ. Muchnic,
vice president of the American Loco
motive Sales Corporation, told the
delegates to the Foreign Trade con-
vention here. Mr.. Muchnic has just
returned from trip to Europe.
"What is required" he continued,
"is faith and confidence in them and
the supply of the necessary capital to
hasten their general industrial re-
vival. Before the world can again be-
come large purchaser of our manu-
featured products, we must see a Eu-
rope prosperous, busy, producing; the
sale of our manufactured products to
Europe will follow the sale Of our
foodstuffs, copper, cotton and other
northumberland products.
European prosperity will spell also
prosperity for this country.
"The present depression in our ex-
port trade is not due to German, Aus
trian, Belgian, French or British COM
petition, but to world lack of pur-
chasing power"
In speaking of Germany Mr.. Much
mic said: "Fhe real cause of currency
depreciation there is not due solely,
as is generally believed in this country
to reparation payments exaeted by the
Allies, but to a false economic meas
ure and theories INDUCED in by the
German government ever since the
termination Of war;, its failure to
impose adequate taxes Immediately af-
ter the armistice and to collect such
taxes after imposed; to criminal dis
sipation Of its national wealth through
the maintenance Of fictitious value
of the mark within their country. This
applies with equal force to Austria and
other Central European countries"
