No Democrats in
State Legislature

Madison. The lone Democratic
member of the last legislature was
defeated in Tuesdays election and the
next legislature will be without
member of that political party when
it meets here in January, according to
checks of the legislative list here.
Richard Kamke, Democrat, represent
ed Lincoln county in the last legisla-
ture. He has been defeated by George
Frederick of Merrill, unofficial reports
show.
Ten Socialists will hold seats in the
legislature, seven in&he assembly and
three in the senate, tabulations indi-
cate. ]. A. Padway, attorney for the
Wisconsin Federation of Labor, will
be one of the new members from Mill
waukee county.
Three women will be in the legisla-
ture, the first to hold seats in that
body
While the legislature will be over
whelmingly Republican, opinions vary
as to the control by the so-called pro-
gressive and conservative factions OF
the party. Leaders here declare that
the progressives will hold sway in the
senate, with twenty-ore of the thirty
members. In the assembly, however,
conservatives have made inroads and
control is more doubtful, It is declared.

NASH SETS NEW
OCTOBER RECORD
Nash Sales Record Sets
New High Mark for the
Month of October.
CITIES ARE OvERSOLD

October set new high sales record
for The Nash Motors company, Keno
sha. Wisconsin. Closing of books for
the month revealed that the total
volume of business transacted bulked
substantially larger. than the best
month heretofore in the history OF
the institution. In making pubic
this statement E. H. mccarthy, Nash
general sales manager, said: The
bare statement that October was the
biggest month recorded by Nash since
the formation of the company is I'M
pressive, of course, but this unpre-
cedented sales condition takes on add
ed Importance when you contrast It
with the general condition prevailing
throughout the industry. 1t is no
secret that business on the whole
among automobile companies is moth
ing more than fair. Furthermore,
you must take into consideration the
fact that the fall season normally is
never the most active sales period.
And a further resistance is the pro-
verbal national attitude of waiting
rather than buying during presi-
Dental election year. Nevertheless,
despite these three adverse factors the
demand for the new Nash Advanced
Six and Special Six models has grown
with such rapidity since the day the
cars were first placed on exhibition
throughout the country that there has
never been time when we were not
oversold. Added evidence as to this
is found in reports from dealers which
shows that in fifteen cities alone at
the end of October, the bonafide un-
filled retail orders for new Nash
models specifying Immediate delivery
totalled 1895 cars.
can analysis of the proportionate
open and enclosed car sales during
October throws an interesting side
light on the situation. October en-
closed car business was the biggest
we ever had. And the October total
plus the September enclosed car sales
ran we'll past the combined enclosed
car sales of the three next largest
months in the history of Nash.
November shows so far not the
slightest hint of slackening in the
demand and this on top of October's
record is pretty sound evidence that
there are always plenty of buyers
when the goods and prices are right.
In honor of this mountaineering
month Nash dealers everywhere are
arranging special window displays
and holding exhibitions of the models
of both lines"

REDUCE RATES ON
FARM PRODUCTS
Railroad Commission Hands Down
Important Decision on Intra-
State Rate.

Madison, Wis. Wisconsin farm
ers won q victory today when the
state railroad commission ordered a
reduction in rates on line and line
sludge used for fertilizer purposes.
The reduction, although applicable
only tc two or three line hauls, will
mean a saving of thousands of dollars
annually to farmers, it is stated.
Single line rates on Interstate haul
ing were held by the commission to
be lust and reasonable. Joint line
rates were found unjust and unrea-
sonable and fevisions were ordered.
The ruling was made on an applica-
ton of inc Waukesha Lime and Stone
company VS.. the Chicago and North
western railroad.
Under the new schedule, uniform
sche dule Of rates is ordered on all
lines in the state. The joint line
rates will be based on the single line
rate, plus seven-tenths of one cent
per 100 pounds for the two line haul
and one cent per 100 pounds for three
line hauls. Old schedules were not
uniform, it is stated, but we're gov
erned by tariffs which made the rates
considerably higher
Another important point of the or
der is that the Omaha and Northwest
ern railroads were ordered to be con!
sidered as one line in determining the
rates of lime and lime sludge. This
action is because of recent steps tc
consolidate the two lines. The one
line rate therefore will apply on both
of these roads.
On single line hauls of more thar
$50 miles and not more than 42l
miles, the commission ordered rate
of 75 cents which was not in force
before. Under the new schedule, th'
minimum rate will be three cents pei
100 pounds and the maximum, g.
cents.
Lime and lime sludge have come in
to Importance in recent years as fer
tilizers particularly in the northern
section of the state, agricultural of
fcials say. Most of these products arr
found in Waukesha county and thu
southeast portion Of the state. Thus
the long haul has been made neces
ssry to northern sections and a ma
jority of the hatils are on one or NOR,
lines.

9DWP TO GO ON
THE AIR AGAIN
Station viii be on Soon to
Take Up Duties of A. r.
Relay League.
KENO OPERATORS BUSY

Kenosha will be honored greatly
when radio relay station 9DWP goes
on the air soon to take up the duties
of the Amateur Radio Relay league.
1t has been many months since
9DWP was heard, having been closed
down while improvements were being
made. According to present plans the
new outfit will employ the Hartley
circuit, loose coupled and will be
equipped with two fifty watt tubes
making transmitter of 100 watts.
They plan to work the traffic of the
A. r. r. L. on $50 meters, reserving
wave length of 80 meters to conduct
experiments.
Locals Installing Station.
The corps of operators engaged in
installing the station are Junior Vim
cent, Ralph Martin, Rollin Beardsley
and R. Miller, all well-known Kenosha
radio men.
Junior Vincent is we'll known
throughout the amateur world for his
activities in the past with 9DWP, To-
Gated on Prairie avenue.
Ralph Martins experience has been
in amateur circles and as commercial
operator in lake service. His station
while trafficing for the A. r. R. L. was
9GP, reminiscent Of the days of the
L. C. w. Ralph is at present dealing in
radio sets and equipment, holding out
at Hurd's Drug store on Fremont ave-
nue..
Rollin Beardsley had great deal
of experience as commercial operator
on the lakes and in the Navy. He was
formerly connected with Ernst's Book
store as manager of the radio depart
ment and is at present with the Cen
trail Electric company of Chicago and
Milwaukee.
r. Miller is an experienced amateur
man who has acquired a proficient
style in his work with the traffic of
the A. R. R. L.
To Be Best In Wisconsin.
They claim that the station will be
one of the best in the state of Wis
consin and shifts will be arranged so
that the station will be in service
every hour of the day. That is an
important thing for Kenosha for once
station becomes established as a re-
liable one messages from all directions
will be directed this way for relay and
no doubt 9DWP will figure prominently
in the A. r. r. L. special tests which
in the past have contributed SO great
Ily to corrections and improvements in
the broadcast telephone stations and
receiving sets for broadcast listeners
in. All that helps put Kenosha on the
map and may be jotted down by the
thousands of amateurs as the location
of a good station to get in touch with,
Mr.. Ralph Martin desires to inform
the radio public that when the station
is put into operation the public will
be welcomed to see an A. R. R. L.
traffic station actually in service. The
station will be located at 712 Prairie
avenue. The set will operate with
C. w. with motor generator outfit
supplying the plate voltage.
In order to keep interference with
broadcast listeners to minimum
they will use a cage aerial and a coun-
terpoise. Quiet hours will be observ-
ed in compliance with resolutions of
the A. R. r. L.
Announcement will be made later
giving the date of opening.

COOPER'S MAJORITY
OVER $4,000 MARK
Congressman from This District Car
ries All Counties Over
Kenosha Opponent.

Congressman Henry sAllen Cooper
had plurality of over thirty theus-
and over Calvin Stewart in the cleo
ton fer congressman on Tuesday. The
congressman carried every county in
the district and most of them by very
large majoritses. Mr.. Stewart was
comforted in the fact that his own
ward in Kenosha gave him small ma
jority over Mr.. Cooper. The vote from
Waukesha county has not as yet been
tabulated but it is probable that with
this vote the majority of Cooper over
Stewart will reach the $4,000 mark.

Of Irrigation System

]. N. Barnhart, well known local
farmer, who has been employed for
the past several weeks at the Big
Camas Reservoir states that the re-
construction of the reservoir and the
canal is progressing nicely and that
the company is deserving of consid-
cradle credit for the able manner in
which this work is being handled.
Mr.. Barnhart, who is vitally inter
ested in this work as he is a farm
er under the system, feels that the
farmers of this immediate vicinity
have an era of prosperity ahead ow
ing to the conservation of the wa
ter and the efficient distribution
which will be the ultimate result of
the consolidation of the two systems
and the forming of one irrigation dis
trict under the state law
He states that the construction
crews are experiencing some little
difficulty in their work owing to the
weather conditions but that rapid

RECOUNT GIVES
TRATHEN A LEAD
County Commissioners in
CanvasIs Give Trathen a
Majority of Three
Votes

The County Commissioners in their
canvass of the vote last Wednesday
afternoon found an error in the vote
of Hammett, which gives Thomas
Trathen. present incumbent ma
jority of three votes over his oppon-
ent w. c. Ruberry for the Office of
County Assessor.
According to the returns as phoned
to the Republican ofice on the night
of the election Ruberry received SO
votes and Trathen 81 in Hammett
precinct. Upon going over the poll
books 1t was discovered that the vote
only totaled forty three, although the
election board had fifty-three entered
as a total. Should no further dis
crepancies be discovered in the count
of the remaining few precincts,
Trathen will have received major
ity of three votes.
In addition to the discovery of the
error in the assessors total 1t was
discovered that the vote given John
Gaines for County Commissioner had
also been reported wrong. Hammett
phoned in the returns for Gaines as
Ga and It should have been AZ, this
would reduce his majority In that
precinct by twenty-five votes.

Delayed Arrival of Returns
From Featherville Pre-

Elsewhere in this issue of the Re-
publican appears a table giving the
vote by precincts as they were re-
ceived at this Office by telephone. We
are not in a position to vouch for
their accuracy as some misunder-
standing OF figures are possible when
taking the returns by wire. How
ever, it is believed that they are very
nearly right, in fact, it is not an
ticipated that the official count,
which is now in progress, will influ-
ence the final result TO any great ex-
tent.
The County Commissioners met as
Board of Canvassers last Wednes-
day afternoon, having been delayed
somewhat in this regard by the late
arrival of the returns from Feather
vile, which did not arrive In this
city until late last Tuesday after
noon. 1t required the greater part
of last Wednesday to make the can

to carry an official count in this is
sue Next week, however, we will
run a corrected table on the entire
county.
