Favorable Comment On
Plan to Force Candi-
dates "Off Fence"
INCLUDE OTHERS TOO
Plan Is Extended to Include A.
r. Hirst and Gov. Blaine to
Receive QUESTIONABLE.

Announcement made on Monday
that a movement was on foot to force
all candidates seeking places on the
Republican county, district or legis-
lative ticket, to state their stand on
the national ticket, met with an I'M
mediate favorable response from vot-
ers in Kenosha today.
The announcement proved a big
bombshelI in the campaign; every
where on the streets of Kenosha today
voters expressed satisfaction that a
movement was underway to force cam
didates to come out in the open and
state whether they stood with the
Coolidge Republicans or with the La
Toilette movement.
A poll of several of the candidates
revealed that they also welcomed the
chance to show their colors although
it was admitted that there were some
candidates who might attempt to
dodge the question. In fairness to all
it was stated that an effort would be
made to put the questions to the
candidates in such a way that it could
INTO be evaded.
Quiz Hirst and Blaine.
A. R. Hirst, who is seeking the Re-
publican nomination fol governor of
Wisconsin, will be in Kenosha on Fri
day. Plans for the questionable are
being pushed in order that one of them
may be presented to Mr.. Hirst at this
time and give him ar opportunity to
state his stand for or against Coolidge
or LaFollette.
One of the Kenosha QUESTIONABLE
will also be sent to Governor Blaine
and to Lieutenant Governor Comings,
both of whom are also candidates
for the Republican nomination for
governor.
Will Set Definite Date.
1t was stated definitely this morn
ing by officials of the Kenosha County
Coolidge for President club, that such
a QUESTIONABLE was being drawn up
and would be sent to all candidates
seeking places on a Republican ticket.
"The voters have demanded to know
how the candidates stand on this ques-
tion," declared one official of the club.
eve believe that since these candi-
dates are seeking preferment on the
Republican ticket, the voters are en-
titled to know whether or not they
will support the head of that ticket"
It was stated that the candidates
would be asked to answer the ques-
tionnaire within a certain date and if
no answer came by that time, the can
didate would be considered as failing
to answer and automatically placed in
that category. The questionnaire will
be so worded that failure to answer
will place the candidate in one Gloss
or the other.

Court Closing Records of
Estate of Casimir
Gintoft.
WAS FOUND MURDERED
Hearing Recalls Mysterious
Circumstances Surrounding
Finding of Gintoft's Body.

The curtain was falling today on
one of the unsolved mysteries in the
records of the courts of Kenosha coun-
ty when Judge Robert Verne Baker
in the county court held hearing on
the final settlement Of the estate of
Casimir Gintoft.
tGintoft, it was recalled, was found
dead in his room off the saloon which
he operated en- Sept. 20, 1918. There
was bullet wound through his tenn
pie but the position of the gun that
laid at his side threw doubt around
the theory of suicide. An investiga-
ton was made at the time Of the death
but finally resulted in the fling of a
report of suicide by the coroner.
Probe Resumed Later.
Two years later the probe into the
circumstances surrounding Gintoft's
death was resumed at the order of the
district attorney. The body was ex-
humed and additional information
gathered regarding the course which
the bullet took. This probe also fail
ed to solve the mystery surrounding
the mans death.
The deceased left an estate amount
ing, to more than $4,000. Due to the
fact that he had relatives in Russia
there have been several interesting
Developments in the settlement of the
estate A document filed by the Rus
sian consul at Chicago is one of the
records in the case, this document es-
tablishing the claims of relatives in
Russia to share IN the estate.
The only claims still remaining un-
settled wnen the case was called this
morning was a note filed by nomas
Zahorsky, who alleged that he had
loaned Gintoft $3.50, and another
claim made by Adolf Sluzinsky, who
claimed that he loaned the deceased
5000. Zahorsky's. claim was substant-
lated by .wornbut authentic personal
note and was allowed by the court a
compromise agreement of $500 being
reached to include principal and in
terest.
Zahorsky, is presenting his claim
told how he had been arrested during
the investigation into Gintoft's death
and kept in jail for two days and then
released. He told the court that he
knew no reason Tor his arrest, ms
only dealings with the deceased hav-
ing been to loan him the money in
question.
The court asked more time to con-
slider the Sluzinsky claim because il
was not substantiated by note and
was based entirely on verbal prom
ise of the deceased. The estate, how
ever, will be closed sometime this
week.
Brunislaw Gintoft, brother of the
deceased, represented the heirs. He
stated that there were surviving be-
sides himself two brothers and two
sisters, all in Russia. Henry B. Kotz
administrator for the estate, appointed
by the court, presented his report
showing that all other claims had
been met leaving balance of $685.

This morning the police received a
call from Mrs. Marie Frantz, a widow
who lives with her husbands crippled

MAKES PLEA FOR
ADDED FACILITIES
Mrs. Hazeltine Nidey of
Service League Talks
to ROtarians.
WORK HANDICAPPED

Declaring that Kenosha is woefully
handicapped in its disposition of cases
involving mental deficiencies that are
brought to the attention of the Keno
sha Service League and allied organi-
cations, Mrs. Hazeltine Nidey, superin-
tendent of the league, made plea fol-
increased attention to Kenosha's social
problems before the members of the
Rotary club at their luncheon meeting
this noon.
eve get many cases with an element
of mental disability" said Mrs. Nidey
'in our daily work, but we can do moth
ing for them here in Kenosha. We
have no psychiatrist or expert in the
handling of these cases of abnormal
and subnormal mentalities. The Com
munity Chest fund comes to Us as a
godsend. Without it we would be IN
able to do but small percentage of
the case work which we handle each
day. But in spite of this aid, we are
handicapped if we do not have the
necessary professional men to help us
in our work.
Need Expert Here.
To-day we must take our patients
Suffering from mental diseases to the
bureau of juvenile research in Chicago
But even here we can not take care OF
them all because of the prohibitive
cost If Kenosha had one good psy-
chiatrist who could spend with US sew
eral days a month, we would be able
to help many unfortunate people q
great deal more than we can
eve also need psychologist who
would be proficient in giving mental
examinations into the conditions of
some patients to whom our attention
is called" added the speaker.
Mrs. Nidey also pointed out to the
Rotarians the Importance of the work
which the Service League is doing in
alleviating home conditions in Keno
sha. She pleaded for a sympathetic
understanding of the work of the or
ganization.
DR.. George Adams addressed the
Rotary club on the need of psyche
pathic ward at some local hospital for
the observation of people who are
mentally i'll. The number of such ca
ses are many, he declared, but it is
manifestly impossible to take care or
even pay a little attention to many of
them because Of the lack of such IA
cilities in Keno Sha.
A musical program was provided by
the Wisconsin Gateway Quartet of the
Kenosha School of Music. Ross A.
Rathbo ne,, Ralph Gabrielson, Morris
Turkelson and Chris Nielsen make up
the quartet.

LAF0LLETTE RECEIVES
INVITATION TO FAIR
Senator Robert M. LaFolIette Receives
Many Invitations Asking Him to
Talk at State Fairs.

Washington, D. CA number of in
vitations have been extended to SEN
ator LaFollette, independent candidate
for president, to deliver campaign
addresses at state fairs, but it was
doubtful today whether he will accept
any OF them.
The Wisconsin senator, it was said,
intends to devote one or more speeches
before election day to the agricultural
situation in section where it is
paramount issue, but some of his adj
visers have pointed out that, although
fair would assure the presence of a
crowd made up largely of farmers,
most of them are held late in August
or early in September.
There is little probability of the
senator getting under way with speech
making for three or four weeks yet,
and it would require Encouragement
of his tentative speaking schedule, it
was declared if he accepts an invitation
to deliver an address before that time.
The American Federation of Labor
announced itself today as finally pre-
pared to open fire with big guns in the
campaign to elect the LaFollette-
Wheeler ticket and candidates for
congress whose records have salts
field labor.
Davis Stand Unacceptable.
John w. Davis acceptance speech
last night at Clarksburg, w. Va, was
said in statement issued from fed
Grafton headquarters to have excited
rather caustic comment among spokes-
men for labor.
"They see in the address," the state
ment said, "an ineffective effort to
apologize for the Democratic platform,
which has been branded as "unaccept-
able They regard Chairman Walsh
remarks about corporation employment
as a brave effort on the part of the
Montana senator to give standing to a
record Of employment of which Mr.
Davis himself has expressed himself
as proud"
Matthew Woll, vice president of the
federation, who, with Vice Presidents
Martin Ryan and Thomas A. Rickert,
have been added to the national nom
partisan political campaign committee,
declared that Chairman Butler of the
Republican national committee, in an
nouncing its intention "to form a non
partisan campaign club" had acknowl-
edged his "own disbelief in party and
partisan action" and found it neces-
sary to patter after the tactics of
the federation.
