RADIO

Get ready for a lot of mysterious
radio interference, warns The
astronomer, DR.. Davide Todd. h
announces that another big peri q
of sun-spots has started. These atc
spread out on the sun over an arc.t
$4,000 miles across. The largest af
this group of spots is 5000 miles
wide.
Sun-spots, according to scientific
theory, affect radio through the dis
plays of aurora borealis which they
create. Radio fans in the Far North
tell us that northern lights" tend
to cause fading rather than noise.
Edison suggests that the sun is
the source of our electricity. May

u. S. and British
P0lOists to Combine
America Wins Final Games of Inter
national Series of Polo Matches
from British Team.

| New York City-American and Bril-
fish polo players who participated in
the series for the international chal-
lenge cup, retained by the United
States, will split up and play on diff
ferent Quartets in the games for the
open championship and for the Monte
Waterbury which will be contested
this month.
Louis Lacey, Argentine, who started
at back for Great Britain in the two
games, will appear Thursday at Inter
national Field against the Midwick
club of Los Angeles, holders of the
national JUNIOR title, in a contest
which will replace the third of the
series scheduled between the Ameri-
can big four and England which will
now not be played
The Argentine captain of the British
team covered himself with glory in the
second and final game of the interna-
tional series which America won yes
terday by a score of IA to 5.
The fact that the English displayed
much more stubborn quality of re-
sistance and far better team play even
the score Indicated, was due largely
to Lacey's spectacular use of his pony
and mallet on defense and to his un-
erring aim and strong hitting in get
| ting the ball out Of danger and on its
way into scoring territory.
Tommy Hitchcock, who scored five
of the American goals, carried the
brunt Of the lAmerican offense and
thrilled the crowd with usual fearless
Workmanship and long hitting; j.
Watson Webb, southpaw number one,
who was opposed by Lacey, engaged
| in an afternoons duel with the brill
liant Argentine and came out with an
honorable record.
The Prince of Wales witnessed the
contest and participated in the cere-
mony after the game when the chal-
.lenge cup was presented to the big
four by Major General Billiard.

Battle in First, Lost by
Coolidge Forces, Con-
ventiOn Feature.
AK FOR "REGULARS''
Convention Turns Down Mrs,
Gebhart, a Regular, and Sub
stitutes Charles Carlson.

Kenosha as part of the First Con-
gressional district, one of the two
Coolidge Dawes districts in the state,
took the center of the stage at the
state Republican Convention at Madi-
son on Tuesday when the fight. came
in the district caucuses for the nam
ing of members of the state Repub-
lican committee. With the Coolidge
forces controlling the caucus eight to
four, they named a slate of Coolidge
supporters for members of the state
committee as follows: Kenosha, Mrs
Bernice Gebhart; GAINESVILLE, Paul N
Grub; Racine, George w. Ricke;
Walworth County, Mrs. Helen More
Deiafield.
The presentation Of this Coolidge
slate from the First district drew the
biggest fight of the convention. Out
of it rode the steam-roller of the con
vention which went roughshod over
any rights Of the Coolidge delegates
and established the LaFollette- Blaine
forces firmly in the control of the
state G. O. p organization.
One Defies G. o. P.
We 90 not KNOW CnAC JneS0 nOIn1n-
ees will support the state ticket" said
Senator Max Heck, who spoke for
the minority from the first district
William Edwards who presented the
slate declared they would not oppose
the state ticket.
81 am supporting Senator Robert
LaFollette," said State Senator E. A
Carey at this point. "They ask that
we support Coolidge and Dawes; from
my standpoint that is l,lthinkable.
want to remind you that this is a
Progressive convention under Re-
publican label ~ there is no getting
away from that"
This statement brought an uproar
of applause from the majority in the
convention with result that the con-
vention quickly adopted motion I'M
seating the delegates named by the
caucus committee and naming in their
places the following Notwithstanding
members: Kenosha, Charles Carlson;
Waukesha, j. B. Christoph; Rock
County, Mrs. Harry Adams: Racine.
Mrs. C. C. Cuttings.
Like tactics were employed in the
Fifth district, where Coolidge repre-
sentatives named by the caucus were
ruthlessly set aside for LaFollette-
Blaine supporters.
Steam Roller Most Evident.
The LaFoliette Blaine steam roller
was evident everywhere in the con-
vention. In the platform committee
all opposition to Blaine was voted
down, crushing Coolidge men at every
turn of the road. Compliments in the
| platform presented high praise for
the Blaine administration and the de-
nunciation of the Ku Klux Khan.
The convention fairly shouted its
endorsement of LaFollette and Wheel
er rather than Coolidge and Dawes
So emphatic was the stand taken
at the convention against all Coolidge
policies that it has given great i'm
petus to an Independent movement to
place A. R. Hirst in the field fol
| governor.

DEMOCRATS SCORE BLAINE.


Madison, Wis.-Scoring the Blaine
administration and adopting planks in
their platform similar to those which
were read into the record of the Re-
publican convention in minority re-
port, the Democratic platform conven-
ton completed it's work late yesterday.
John NJ Callahan of Milwaukee, was
named chairman of the state central
committee, after the adoption of the
platform which endorsed the candi-
dacy of Davis and Bryan, and opposed
"any effort to amend the constitution
so as to interfere with the authority
of our courts to declare laws un-
constitutional"
Continuing the platform reads in
/ art:
"We condemn political secret socie-
ties as opposed to the exercise of free
COVE rn.nent and contrary to the spirit
Of the declaration of independence and
the constitution of the United States.
We pledge the Democratic party to
oppose any effort on the part of the
Ku KIux Khan or any organization to
interfere with the religious liberty or
political freedom of any citizen or to
limit the rights of any citizen or body
of citizens because of religion, birth
place or racial origin.
eve favor the construction of deep
waterways canal connecting the Great
Lakes with the Atlantic ocean, and de-
mand action to protect the normal
lake levels for the citizens of Wis
consin.
"We charge the present state admin
istration with wanton waste and ex-
travagance in the conduct of our state
affairs, with responsibility for the in
sufferable tax burdens now resting up
on the people of the state, and with
creating an army of needless office
holders which is being used as a
political machine to perpetuate them
selves in power.
Budget Method Destroyed.
eve charge the budget method has
been destroyed and that the func-
tions of the legislature have been
usurped.
eve condemn the practice which
permits state officials to whom such
authority as was never intended to be
given, to appropriate money without
limitation through the emergency fund
for the ordinary expenses of govern
ment.
eve demand an end to the system
through which a treasury surplus OF
an unnecessary amount is accumulated
and maintained to enable the state
treasurer to make extensive state de-
posits which are likely to induce
banks to reciprocate by depositing
funds in bank which the state treas
ury may be interested.
eve charge Governor Blaine with
having made the civil service part of
political machine.
s'We pledge ourselves to bring about
the Investigation by the legislature OF
the charges of malfeasance in office by
state officials as called for by the
! Severson resolution presented to the
1923 session of the legislature.
Eve denounce the practice of ap-
pointing members of the Legislature
1 during their term of Office to positions
under the administrative power
! We are unalterably opposed to making

ticket.
Mr. Alfred, when interviewed this
morning declared that he would write
to the committee, acknowledging the
honor but stating that he could not
accept.
1t IS impossible for me to serve on
the ticket" said Mr.. Afford. II am

lieve that is best for the country and

cratic electoral staff"

people. Through his appointments,
the several state departments have be-
come more efficient. We approve and
endorse his fearless and conscientious
determination to protect the constitu-
tional rights and liberties Of the
people"
For Child-Labor Amendment.
Adoption of the child labor, initia-
tive and referendum, conservation and
home rule amendments were favored,
continuation of opposition to the So
called pittsburgh plus" system, OPP
position to national branch banks, and
curtailment of highway expenditures
were other provisions.
A plank submitted by Senator H. J.
Severson calling for a legislative in
vestigation of alleged corruption in
the state capitol, was defeated in the
platform committee as was a proposal
BY Senator John Schuman calling for
designations of legislative members
who are appointed to state positions.
The efforts of Coolidge supporters
to obtain endorsement of the national
Republican ticket, got no further than
the minority report. The only open
clashes in the convention came on the
adoption Of Coolidge electors as sug-
gested by Governor Blaine and on the
adoption of the majority and minority
platforms.
An even one hundred convention
members answered roll call when the
session opened.

Better Cities Contest
Gets Well Under Way
Chairmen of Committees in Contest
Sponsored by Civic Council Be-
ing Their City Surveys.

The Better Cities Contest being
sponsored by the Kenosha Civic Coun-
Gil is now formally under way. A
meeting of the chairmen of all of the
various committees has been held
and the committees have been given
their questionnaires to fill out to find
just where Kenosha stands in the state
contest.
All committees, it is expected, will
have their surveys completed by the
time of the next meeting of the Civic
Council at which time these reports
will be submitted. This will allow
Kenosha an additional nine months in
which to promote and improve those
items which are found to be. lower
than the standard at which they ought
to be.
