NEW ORLEANS, Feb. Ith, 1914.
To the Editors of The Rock Island Argus.
Returned yesterday from my trip to the
Lone Star" State. Everything is quiet
and peace reigns supreme Business OF
all kinds has received new impetus since
the turning over of the State to Democrat
ic rule, and people are looking hopefully to
the future. The selfish greed of DAYS. and
his followers would have plunged that
State into the same confusion and disorder
we have here, but Grant doutless thought
he had enough to do with Louisiana. and
therefore let Davis succumb to the law.
Matters here are quiet just now, but it is
the calm before the storm. A quarrel is
brewing between Kellogg and Yarmouth
The latter has just arrived from New I ork,
and in an interview stated that he dared
Kellogg to do his worst, that he had come
here to stay and did not intend to be run
out Kellogg avows his intentions OF put
ting Yarmouth through and make him
disgorge quantity of his ill-gotten gains
or be sent to the penitentiary to work out
his debt.

field. His Senatorial hopes are now Grip

acts that he owes it. Last winter he was
