There is great honor often in the

connection. he MANY therefore feel

Rock Island Man Said to Covet a
Seat in the Senate. it starts out by
saying: Ben I. Cable. of Rock Isl
and. is accused of harboring designs
on seat in the United States senate.
This is offered as the reason WHY he
was 80 anxious to get back into the
party fold in Illinois and get place
on the state central committee. By
1900, his friends figure. he will have
reestablished his standing as party
leader sufficiently to make him a SEN
atorial candidate. All of which de-
ponds, of course, upon the democrats
winning Legislative majority in that
year. The theory as to Gable comes
from one Of the most important cogs
'of the democratic state machines.
And it is more than theory. he saws: il
is fact. Party conditions right now
and foreshadowed possibilities lend
plausibility to the theory. Mayor
Harrison's candidacy for governor is
its corollary. John p. Altyeld has
been honorcd with stump-speech nom
nations for senator a dozen times
within year. But conditions have
changed within a couple of months,
