In the impact that followed the
Ford was turned over and completely
wrecked Broderick was pulled out OF
the debris, and to the relief of the
men, he was still living. The Salem
physician was summoned and the sher-
IFS Office notified. DR.. Fletcher OF
Salem gave first aid and stated that
he believed the man was not seriously
injured.
Sheriff Willems sent, Deputy Sher-
ifs Nick Otto and Chef Bostetter with
Hansen's safety ambulance upon the
call They brought the injured mar

appearance Of the wreck, the deputie:
declared that the escape of Brodericl
from more serious, perhaps fatal in.

Democrats are out" continued Mr..
Bruce "My name automatically goes

Republicans of Kenosha
County Give Wilcox a
Good Majority.
KENOSHA FOR WILCOX
City of Kenosha Is Carried by
Wilcox 2459 as Against 1885
for Bob LaFollette.

Roy P. Wilcox was the choice of the
Republicans of Kenosha county for
the nomination for United States
senator on that ticket in the primary
election which was held throughout
the state on Tuesday, despite the fact
that he was defeated elsewhere in the
state. Kenosha was one of the five
counties in the state that went into
the Wilcox column, Kenosha county
voters giving him a fairly large
majority considering the light vote
cast in the county.
Wilcox carried Kenosha county by
402 majority over Robert LaFollette,
Jr., receiving total of 2,719 votes
in this county as against 2,317 for
Little Bob. Woodward's total for
Kenosha county was 1879, with Nc
Govern running poor fourth with 282.
The city of Kenosha pied up even
a more comfortable majority for Will
cox, who received 2,459 votes in the
city against 1885 for LaFollette and
1864 for Woodward, and 243 for Nc
Govern. Wilcox and Little Bob broke
even on the number of precints car
ried in the city of Kenosha, each
securing seven of the fourteen, but
Wilcox piled UP such large MAORI
ties in the first, second and third
wards that he overcame LaFollette
leads in other districts.
In the county proper Woodward
strength was apparent, cutting down
Wilcox's vote and giving LaFollette a
lead of % votes over Wilcox in the
county. Woodward ran second in the
towns Of Kenosha county with 325
votes as against 1872 for LaFollette.
There WAS only nominal vote in
some of the county districts,
Kenosha county Democrats were
largely conspicuous by their absence
at the polls or if they went to the
polls they voted the Republican ticket
on Tuesday. There were only 100
Democratic votes cast in the city and
county, all of them for Bruce. Work,
the Socialist candidate received rs
votes in the city of Kenosha and A
in Kenosha county. Three voters, 2
in the county and 1 in the second
precinct of the fourth ward voted for
LaFollette on the Socialist ticket.
There was very light vote both
in the city of Kenosha and in the
county. there being total of 6,876
votes cast in this county. 1t had
been expected that not less than 10000
votes would be cast in Kenosha county.

gan just south of the city limits OF
Kenosha by Mrs. Edith Rockefeller
Mccormick, according to the an
nouncement made today of the out
come of the $4,000 contest carried on
to secure name for the city.
The winning name was suggested
by Elmer H. Huge, 500 Colfax avenue
LaPorte, Indiana, young man, aged
FL, who is to receive the $1,000 award
offered for the name accepted.
Mrs. B. Nessman of Bassets, Wis

The second price, $500 was awarded
to Morris Fainstefn, Chicago en-
gineer, who suggested the name
Nirvana; fourth place, carrying an
award of $3.50 went to Miss Ruth Lev

suggested the name Krenado Beach.
Kenoshans also shared in the dis.
tribution of the numerous other

not listed in the announcement.
The contest aroused wide spread
interest and brought in over 10000
names from $4,000 contestants in all
parts of the United States, Canada
and even Europe. 1t was evident from
the very start that the public favored
calling the city something which il
some manner suggests the name anc
prestige of it's Mrs. Edith
Rockefeller Mccormick. When the
names were all in and the confess

The judges agreed that it would b.
proper to select some name that re

lie insists on paying to Mrs. McCor
mick. The name Edithton Beach wa:
therefore chosen in response to publ,
demand as an eminently fitting tribut,

Secretary of State Finds
Clause That May
Open Door.
DEFEATED CANDIDATES
Woodward, Bruce and Work
May Be Able to Run
as Independents.

Milwaukee, Wis.-( Eight men
may contest in the special election
on September 20 for the seat made
vacant by the death of Senator
Robert M. LaFollette. This inforna-
ton became available today when it
was ascertained that in addition to
Robert NJ LaFollette, Jr., who yester-
cay swept the state in his contest for
the Republican nomination, the So
eialist and Socialist-Labor tickets will
b. represented officially as such, while
e. others appeared to be eligible
s independents
Announcement from Fred thinner
man, secretary of state, this morning
showed that George Bauman of Mil
ltaukee had filed as the nominee of
the Socialist-Labor party, while an
her announcement from Mr.. Zim-
r1erman indicated that Daniel Wood
ward, who ran third in yesterdays
primary may also be eligible. This
ruling said that a section had been
found in the election laws whereby
a candidate who fails to receive suf-
ficient primary votes to go on the
election ballot as a party nominee,
but whose votes are as many as the
signatures required for Independent
nomination papers, automatically be-
comes an independent candidate.
Under this ruling Mr.. Woodward had
more than enough votes to enter
the running, and he announced this
morning that he "fully expected to
be on the ticket"
Unless there are Withdrawals, as
the result of conferences being held
today, the following names and their
designation will appear on the ballot
September 90: Robert M. LaFollette,
Jr., Republican,; John NJ Work, So
cialist; George Bauman, Socialist
Labor; Roy P. Wilcox, Independent;
William George Bruce, independent;
Edward F. Dithmar, Independents;
Arthur Barry, Independent, and Daniel
Woodward, Independent.
In the September 20 election the
Democratic party in Wisconsin will
not exist, even though Bruce, the
Democratic nominee is on the ballot
as an independent. For a time last
night it was thought that he was
definitely out of the running, but Fred
Zimmerman, secretary of state, an
nounced this morning that a section
e the Wisconsin election law has
sen found whereby a candidate who
.ails to receive sufficient primary
votes to go on the election ballot as
a party nominee, but whose votes are
as many as the signatures required
for independent nomination papers,
automatically becomes an independent
candidate.

right between the rails and of the fire
man disappearing in a leap down onto
the pilot. Then the boiler hid what hap
pened from view.
1t was the curve that fooled the little
fellow. He did not understand that the
laundering monster followed the rails.
When he first heard and saw the thing it
was not coming at him at all and he
stood to watch it go by. When he real
lied that the awful thing had changed its
course and seemed to be chasing him it
seemed useless to run from such speed
and power, so he just stood still, tremb-
ling and hoping that after all it would not
really hurt a little boy who tried to be
good most of the time.
The engineers efforts had cut the
speed from thirty miles an hour to about
twelve or fifteen when the boy and
engine met. But out beyond everything,
like the bowsprit on ship, projected the
long, sinewy arm of Fireman Sutton and
on the end of it was fireman's thick,
greasy, black glove, and it was that and
not the metal that struck the boy.
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1925-11-29

Sutton had to make a One-handed catch
of that little human projectile coming at
him at some fifteen miles an horr and
he did it. He got him up and clear OF
the flying ties and wheels and everything
for an instant and then, like football
player on wet field, he began to tumble
the catch. Wavering crafty on that shak-
ing perch and with his clumsy, greasy
glove. he lost his grip and snatched for
another. If only he could have taken
time to have thrown away those gloves
that made his fingers all thumbs. With
his strong hands bare, he would have
fastened on with hold that might have
given the child black and blue spots for
many day, but it would not have come
loose, not in a hundred miles.
As it was, Cecil finally got out of his
hands altogether and when Sutton saw
him disappear under the engine he almost
fell after him. The child dropped right in
the centre of the track and his reScuer
thought that he had risked his life for
nothing. that after making that reckless
race against time over his engine and

mile posts 10 and | / as fast as was safe,
and he did flourish on his whistle and
went at it at 80 miles an hour. Also, it
was up to Fireman Roy E. Sutton to keep
up humping good fire so his engineer
would have plenty of steam to pick up
those ten golden minutes wherever he
could.
Sutton, his hands encased in heavy,
greasy, fircman's gloves, shovelled and
raked, then slammed his fire door and
stuck his head out of the cab window, to
watch old engine 1888 take the curve.
This was purely for amusement He did
not expect to see anything of Importance
because the engineer was gazing ahead
out of his window with his usual calm
squirt that indicated nothing doing.
Yet Sutton's eye fell upon a four-year-
old boy standing right in the center of
the track and around him frisked and
barked an excited dog. For an instant
the fireman could not believe his eyes.
How could he see this if the engineer
did not? He took one glance at his Su-
perior's calm face and understood. The
engineers window was on the other side
of the cab and on the outside of the
curve which caused the great boiler of
the locomotive to hide the scene from his
view.
Some heroes have time to think it over
and get up nerve to risk their lives, but
railroad heroes usually have to be able
to jump and think at the same time. SUIT
ton is one of that kind. With a yell,
'kid on the trackr' he dived through his
cab window out onto the smooth black
belly of the engine. Before his hands
found their grip on the brass rail, which
would keep him from plunging under the
hammering wheels below, he heard the
scream of the air-brakes.
The engineer had not wasted any time
either. He hardly heard what his fireman
had yell>d at him, but he did not need to
have it explained. The sight of the man
diving through the window told him all he
needed to know. As quick as hands could
move, he threw on the air, reversed his
engine and let go the sand which keeps
the wheels from slipping on greasy"
rail
Under this rough handling, the train
slowed up in a series of shudders which
threw the startled passengers about and
added to the perils of the man in Tapping
overalls who was flying along that pre-
carious iron ledge to an even more
dangerous spot where the pilots cow

doubt, thought the dog, the only other
witness.
The train came to a stop. Sutton and
the engineer ran back on one side and
Buster on the other. The conductor and
brakemen hoped off from behind and
heads bobbed out of every window
They found Cecil under the first coach.
The engine, tender and baggage car had

worst as he crept under. pushed the sniff

who soon showed signs of life in the
form of whimper which now grew into

the others. At least they had not run

However, he was a pretty fierce look
