end and aim of said publication is to
support the said George W. Vinton in
his personsi canvass for reelection to the
legisl sture.
Had there been no other resssn why
Mr.. Virtou should not be elected this
circular publication on his part ought to do
the business and send him with it into the
receptacle for waste, refuse and rubbish.
Told the Truth that Time.
As an excuse for the publication OF

and not boilers. and that his communics-

More Misrepresentation.
In his own publication Mr.. Vinton
continues 70 maintain that he is acting in
accordance with the wishes OF the dem-
ocratic state central committee. This is
absolutely false. Vinton sought to have
the state central committee put him on
the ticket. but this request, ike the one
he made to The ARGUS for endorse ment
of his candidacy. was refused. Had the
democracy of the Twenty>tirst district
seen the wisdom of nominating two can
didstes' this year. Vinton would not have
been one OF the candidates, anyway. In
the first place be failed to ab DE- by the
unders .anding of the convention two
years ago and instead of having his
tickets like those of Mr. Wilson, his COLI |

one-hslf votes. he circulated number |
for three votes for himself. Not only |
did this breach of good faith on his part
disgust the dem -crsts with him, but the |
fact that Henry county was entitled to
the nomination this time. and would |
have been given both of them mad two

Rock Island county has greater demo-
cratic vote and the party in Rock Island
county could rot have acted in good faith |
with Henry county by permitting it to

then repudiating it, pledge at the polls.
As to vinton's Record
VInton displays great deal OF vain
glory on the strength of his record as
legislator. Whatever prominence Mr.
Vmton may have attained in the last leg
islature he secured through the efforts of
the democrats of Rock Island county. and
even then he proved himself great an
noyance TO the party, as he required
constant watching. AS il was never known
where he would be found on questions
ef vital marty concern. The democratic
marty "a under no obligation to Viuton.
