HOEFT ON HENRY COUNTY
Former Rock Islander Talks of MInorI v
Representative Choice.

y
Representative Choice.
Geneseo. May 29.-Editor of The
ARGUS: | notice in The ARGUS
the statement that the Henry
county democrats had made no
choice for minority representative,
which | wish to- inform you is not
correct. On the vote of not allowing
the first delegates (Mulligan dele
gates), selected at Kewanee to take
part in voting on the temporary or
ganization, the vote standing lOS for
excluding to 80 against, Hon. Jonas
Olson (Andrews) was elected tenn
porary chairman; also in submitting
the list of delegates to the senatorial
convention every delegate of the II
selected is an Andrews man. All
were the personal choice of Mr.. An
drews, and were accepted 10y the con
vention without dissenting vote.
This convention was controlled by
the Andrews faction by large ma
iority, and when the Mulligan forces
saw they were beat, they asked to be
let down as easy rs possible. l hope
Rock Island county will not try and
change the precedent of long stand
ing existing between the two coun-
ties, or we NAV have another Ken
worthy-Piatt contest, which took
place number of years ago, when
Rock Island county tried to take the
nomination from Henry county, when
they were entitled to the same by pre-
cedent.

ton June 8 at Rock Island and should

are liable to suffer under fire. China was
the only nation refusing to sign the orig

pines, but might be landed in China If
General Chsffee considered that the condi-
tons were such that they could be useful
and not put into unnecessary peril. There
are also five nurses on the Sumner, which
sailed from San Francisco on the 18th.
These also might be diverted for service
in China but the whole question is a mat
