The Republicans Are Guilty
Tanners Petite Allen Bill-PaSSed by
Members of His Own Party.-They
Are Not for Repeal.

Illinois Republican managers have a
hydrophobic dread OF the Allen bill and
are Justify proclaiminE that inasmuch as
several Democratic members of the last
general assembly voted for the measure
it should be tabooed a party issue in
the present campaign.
What are the facts connected with the
passage of that Infamous bill? 1t was in
troduced in the house by a Republican
member: it was referred to Republican
committee which recommended its pas
sage: it was forwarded by a Republican
speaker and passed by Republican
house. 1t was passed by a Republican
senate and approved by John r. Tanner,
the Republican governor. who. had he in
terposed his veto. as John p. AltEeld did
when a similar bill came before him
while governor, would have saved the
people from an injustice and his party
from the ignomfnious responsibility for
it's passage. AS further proof of the re-
sponsibility of the Republcan-Tanner
machine for the Allen bill, it will be
membered that an effort was made at
the Republican state convention by a few
honest delegates TO insert plank de-
nouncing the measure. 1t is a notorious
fact that Tanner and his machine used
the lash with such effect that the propo-
sition was literally thrown OF of the win
dow. Having thus locally endorsed the
infamous measure. the Republican party
of Illinois proceeded to further indicate
its alliance with the corporate monopo-
lies by renominating no less than seven
state senators and ten representatives
who voted for the Allen bill. making
total of seventeen. Outside of Cook coun-
ty. in legislative districts where the Tan
ner machine is supreme. four Republican
senators and six representatives who vot-
ed for the bill. Following is the list:
Senator D. d. Hunt. Goth district.
Senator. D. J. Littler. seth district.
Senator J. A. Willoughby. 49th district.
Senator P. T. Chapman. 51st district.
Representative ID. a. Fuller, Sth dis
trict.
Representative C. A. Allen. 18th district.

DR.. Huidekoper has been placed in
charge of all our sick soldiers in Porto
Rico He is one of Ayers pets. and was
medical director at Camp ChickamauSa.
The New York Herald says:
1T is hard to discover to what infiu-
ence Or. Huidekoper owes his appoint
ment to the position of responsibility
which he had at Chickamauga, and to
the one which he at present holds as
surgeon-general of the first military di-
vision in Porto Rico. Envious persons
say that it was because he once treated
a pet dog of Mrs. McKinley's. and that
the president was so impressed with his
skill in curing canine disease that he
decided upon him the proper man to
care for the health of the soldiers. 1t
Is said that Senators Quay, Platt and
Penrose had been sponsors for DR.. Huide-
koper but these men have disclaimed all
responsibility for his appointment"

ship-bullding Industry. Robert Wilson,
manager Of the I-aconic Publishing COM
pany of New York, has written the attor-
ney general asking If it is possible to Sc
cure an Oklahoma charter for the revival
of the mercantile marine OF the United
States. Vast possibilities are limited as
certainties in the writer's hasheesh
dream, among which will be the perman-
ent employment of about two million peo-
pie, the creation of new industries and
the revival of obsolete ones and will re-
quire all of our rivers and forests to be
promises that all the steamships to be
built by his company will be equal to the
very best ocean greyhounds now entering
our ports from any foreign country for
speed, capacity, safety and comfort and
a far superior as American ingenuity
can make them. In a burst Of coincidence
the writer states that the capital stock of
the proposed company will Of necessity be
away up in the hundreds of millions, but
this mere bagatelle will be subscribed in
thirty days as the dividend-earuing ca
pacity Of the company will be plainly
made manifest in the charter. AS a sop
to the Popuistic tendencies of the terri
tory the writer judiciously inserts para
graph in his letter which gives the assur-
ance that features are not wanting to
prevent the charter from the odium of a
monopoly.
