THURSDAY, APRIL 6, 1916.
The Mayor-Elect.
A man lias come to court. It is an
interesting thing to know that there
are enough people tin Kenosha who are
really interested in the future of the
city to elect a real man to the office
of Mayor. Kenosha is to be congrat
ulated on the result of tho election of
Tuesday. The returns which pro
claimed the election of Charles 11.
Pfennig to the highest office in the
gift of tho people are a testimonial
to the good sense and the civic
patriotism of Kenosha.
Mr. Pfennig will bring much to
Kenosha as its official head. The peo
ple of the city will be no longer forced
t<> blush when the office of Mayor is
mentioned and they can feel assured
that their best ii.it< rests are going to
bo conserved to the fullest extent.
Charles H. Pfennig will bring dignity
to the office that he is to hold. He
will bring to it the good sense man
agement of a mature business judg
ment, unhampered by outside infiu
ences. Ho will bring to the office of
mayor a personal character —spotless
from every viewpoint—an integrity
which has never been questioned by
even his strongest political foes. He
will make the idr;>‘ head executive of
the city.
Mayer-elect Pl'-uuiig was not a seek
o, after office, bi ‘ a man drafted in
tl.-' st \ ice of the people. He has no
vain feeling of elation over the result.
<>f the election, but he set. la it a vote
ol tiie confidence of the people and <
-call for the real service that be is
fitted to give to the men and womei
of Kenosha. He stum.. at the door of
a new administration with no pledge
but his pledge to servo the people,
hi no. fly, fairly and with good judg
ment.
’i he whole effort to encompass his
defer ( was centered about a false is
sue and misrepre entations. This false
issue and misrepresentations was tin
last straw sei red by the wily politi
cian when ,ie s;iw <:■ ’eat staring him in

ple o.' Echo 1 ha is the disappoint

The ’ <• a ;> iplaces on him re

feriea to have avoided, but with a
real interest in L nosha and with a
k-ciiii • that ev i,.->u owes some-
t‘'mg Io his non rs ho is going to
take up the burden of being mayor
Willi not ’si but an ’•tea of making
K. 1 osha a bigg, : "id a better city.
With th s end in view there can be
ne q ast on of his right to claim the
co-opeiation of the people.
Annin we say . , h < nosha is to be
congratulated on the act that a real
man has come to court.
Of course a few o‘ f oin slipped in,
but then it is comforting to know
• ; d dn ■ J'Yrwg is going to have
■ i iH w «b i- he’p right along to
ea: y or. ’nit promises to the people
f‘-’ a bigger ami better city.
At that ti e American army down in
Mexico showed that it still has some
“pep - in it. ! ’ven a neglectful Dem
< < ratio administration could not take
Ibis from the boys in the ranks.
And now the defeated candidate
may feel that he just has to move over
to the north side.
And a dry Waukegan only fifteen
miles away. 1 Sorel v.'it’s getting closer.
Just in passing, the people of the
city should hand out one small bunch
of carnations to that band of workers
on the south side of the city. They
sure are entitled to credit for the re
sult. Getting the people aroused is a
great task, but the result of it all is
always pleasant.
You can say hello to your neighbor
again this evening vzithout having him
look at you with suspicious glance.
He knows now that you mean it and
that you are not trying to line him up
to vote for some fellow.
Have you .paid your bets yeti You
donlt need to wait until after the
council canvasses the vote. The coun
cil eaavass has never yet made a
change in the list of men to whom
certificates t<are issued.
Right now it is probable that a ma
jority of them have forgotten that
there was an election at all. It’s
funny'how. little interest the average
man takes in electing the men who
are to assess his taxes.
All of which goes to show that you
can’t tell just how a voter is going to
swing a lever. It’s a cinch that most
of them did not know who they were
voting for, but they were on their way
just the same.
Matt didn’t care a wffioop about giv
ing up the office of mayor, but it did
go terribly against the grain to have
some one else ride right next to the
band in the procession.
Be it hoped that the new adminis
tration will at least have get-up and
get-enough to see to it that the in
terior of the city hall is decorated and
that the work is done right away.
The tumult and the shouting dies,
but the people will continue to pay
the freight just as before. Mr. La-
Follette told us so and he has looked
into the matter.
Champ Clark says Wilson “has the
world by the tail.” Well, he is wel
come to that end. All we want is a
Republican at the head of the nation.
And both of them realize now that
the campaign bills are still to be paid.
The cost of being popular is never so
heavy as after the election is over.
And the successful candidate is ad
vised not to believe that every fellow
who congratulates him voted for him.
In politics most men are liars.
The one big post campaign is to
pull down the campaign signs. This
will probably be the proper job for
the defeated candidates.
It’s a mistake, Mr. Morehouse was
not a candidate. He was just one of
rhe managers. He is a nice guy. Wc
like him.
It is some satisfaction to know that
a lot of the people voted Tuesday. In
fact more of thorn than ever before.
And for heaven’s sake, don’t say,
“ 1 told you so.” Change it and put it
this way, ‘‘l suspected this result.”
Another thing that was clearly dem
onstrated is that Kenosha needs an
other re-districting and needs it had.
Did you notice that the North-
Western trains ran into the city just
the same as usual today?
»> ■ I ■ I
All of which goes to show that there
are more ways of strangling a feline
than feeding him on butter.
And now there won’t be anything
uoing until the September primary.
0 very well, we can wait.
Probably the nation is still safe
regardless of the fact that a lot of
people are disappointed.
And save the paper that they used
for campaign posters. It’s worth
thirteen dollars a ton.
And now the other fellow is sup
posed to do the proper thing and move
to make it unanimous.
The men whb hold appointive of
fices under the council will now sit up
and get nervous.
And even a rain and hail storm
couldn’t save him. He sure was slat
ed for defeat.
And there is still time for the con
sideration of the problem of the Eas
ter bonnet.
But you can’t foot all of them all
the time. Even Mr. Barnum admit
ted this.
And the kids all over town want to
say “Mr. Voter. I thank you.”
Congratulations Mr. Sullivan—like
wise Mr. Palica.
It was a victory for a bigger and
better Kenosha.
If you are sore—try a little vaseline
or witch hazel.
And where in the dickens is the
snow sto’ni?
It was a bad day for the political
bunk artist.
Vox Populi—Vox dei. Translate it
yourself.

LITTLE CHANGE
IN COUNTY TOWNS
Old Time Members of Co.
Board Are Returned for
Another Term in Most
Of the Towns. <
VOTE MUCH FOR ROAD WORK
Somers and Salem and Pleasant Prairie
All Vote Large Amounts to Be Used
In Improving Highways Salem
Votes Wet by a Majority of 57.
Elections were held in all of the
towns of the county on Tuesday and
several changes w r ere made in the line
up of the County Board, but for the
most part the official directory of the
county is not greatly changed. The
question of good roads was a pertinent
one in all of the towns. Salem led
with appropriations of four thousand
dollars and a vote to borrow twelve
thousand dollars to be expended on
the roads this year. This will give
Salem a total of fifteen thousand
dollars for road work. Somers went
the full limit and levied a tax of fifty
eight hundred dollars for the road
work.
Pleasant Prairie was liberal in its
road appropriations and voted $1,500
for the Sheridan Road, $2,000 for the
Milwaukee road and SSOO for each the
Geneva and the Wilinot roads.
Other towns in the county made
their usual appropriations for roads,
but the amounts have not been report
ed to the highway commissioner.
The result of the town elections is
as follows:

Chairman —James Martin.
