Candidates Begin to Bloom With Appearance
of the Snow-Drop and Robin in
This Early Spring-time.
RAUEN THROWS HAT INTO RING
Roy B. White William Rauen, "BilI' Frazier and 9th
ers Begin to Brush up for Lively
Scrimmage for Sheriff.

jail" Under the state law, he is not
permitted to succeed himself, no Sheriff
being permitted to hold two successive
terms of4office
In case the sheriff's office moves over
to the new place in the fall, Mr.. Pabst
will also have the distinction of being
the "irst sheriff in the new court
house" 1t is possible, however, that
no arrangements will be made for the
transference of the sheriff and his staff
until the opening of the new term.
While Sheriff Pabst cannot run for
the Office at the next election, there
will be a number of competitors for
the position.
Roy B. White to Run,
Roy B. White, at present supervi-
sor of the county board, who has un-
announced that he will not be in the
contest for supervisor again in the
spring election, has been named as one
of the promising candidates in the
sheriff race. His friends are pointing
him out as the logical candidate on
the Republican ticket, inasmuch as he
gave Sheriff Pabst close race in the
last primary election. Mr.. White indi-
Gated with a smile today that the posi-
tion of sheriff of Kenosha county still
allured him and that with all goodwill
he would throw his hat into the ring
once more.
w. j. "Bill" Frazier, formerly of Ke-
nosha and now of Wilmot, has been
for some time an avowed candidate for
the sheriff post on the Republican nom
ination. He sought the Dem ocratic
nomination last time, but since the
fall of 1921 has given his allegiance to
the Republican party. Mr.. Frazier has
organized, it is said, Coolidge club in
Wilmot with "a large number of mem
bers.
Former Sheriff Again Candidate.
Last but not least, the hat of Will
liam E. Rauen, former sheriff of the
county is down within the ropes as a
challenge to all others. Rauen's term
of sheriff closed January 1, 1928, when
Fred Pabst took over the office. He
was sheriff during the two most inter
esting and difficult years that perhaps
any sheriff has known, during the
grand jury investigation and the grand
jury trials.
While William Rauen's friends are
grooming him for the return into the
field, Mr.. Rauen himself when APP
preached this morning indicated that
he thought it little premature to
make any Spring announcements"
before the spring elections were over.
However, he indicated that when things
roll on toward harvest-time, he'll be
out with the other "boys."
John Milligan Will Run.
Another stout name to be reckoned
with when the sheriff-candidates be-
gin their biennial sprinting, will be
that of John Milligan, member of the
Republican party and a real home
towner.
The only member of the Democratic
party whose hat is rolling along in
the ring with the rest, is Frank
"Baldy" Willems, who numbers many
friends. Willems was a candidate at
the last election and made large
showing on his side of the contest.
Jacob M. (Jake) Hermann is said to
have his name out, but could not be
reached today in confirmation or de-
NAL of the rumor.
John Scholey, one-time crusader, an
nounces fatty that he is mot" can
didate for sheriff at the coming
election.
Friends of merry hearted Joseph
Knipfer, who has been under-sheriff
for two terms, would like him to try
on the bigger shoes of the sheriff,
but Mr.. Knipfer only replies that a
temporary foot ailment puts him out
of the running.
John Wattles is doing his best to
put Captain Thue ct. P. or Kid Han
sen into the race, perhaps to have the
joy of seeing the stout-hearted cap
tain run the entire course with pipe
ALT and eyes a-glow, but the cap
tain only says,
"Pm off for Californy,
and round the cape again,
And I'd rather be a-sailin'
than a-suckin' of tho nantN
