CLOSE CONTESTS
in THE COUNTY
Keen Rivalry Marks Elec-
ton of Town Officers
in County.
WOMEN ARE JUSTICES
Mrs. Harry Thompson in Som
ers and Mrs. John finland
in Unique Race.

Close contests and a considerable
shift in the make up of the official d.
rectories of the towns marked the cleo
ton in Kenosha county on Tuesday.
There were lot of close races in the
various towns and in some Of these old
timers went down to defeat and new
names never before on the official di-
rectory were written in.
One of the features of the day was
the vote in Somers where the voters
by an overwhelming vote turned down
the proposition to purchase Wood
man Hall for use as town hall. The
vote against the project was LAG to
80. The town had been offered the
building as its governmental center
at a price of $4,000 and the PROPOSE
ton had been given considerable popu-
lar support in the village of Somers.
The towns were not very active
IN voting road money. Pleasant Prairie
voted $4,000 for roads for the coming
year, but other towns did not report
a road appropriation. Bristol voted a
three mill road tax.
Women Judges for Somers.
The most unique race in the election
was In the town Of Somers when that
town elected the first women justices
in the county, if not in the state of
Wisconsin. Mrs. Harry Thompson and
Mrs. John finland were the women
selected to preside at the courts in
Somers, the former winning by vote
OF 1873 to 1877 to the holding of the two
year term, while the latter is elected
to the one-year term. The narrow ma
Jority of one vote for the longer term
Is the closest contest reported in the
county. The two women justices are
to ascend the bench July 1st. Just
how the people of Somers agreed that
women justices were wanted, has not
been explained. Each of the women
will preside in their respective COM
munities but will have jurisdiction over
the entire township.
Returns By Towns.
The result of the vote for town off,
Gals in the various towns of the
county was as follows:
