Edenfeld & Jetton, of Tampa, were

SENATOR, CULLOM IS AGAINST

According to reports brought from

friends are quietly lighting Judge Han.

these words by well-informed poll
tician who was interviewed at the
Great Northern Hotel:
Senator Cullom's friends think
Judge Hanecy represents Gov. Tanner.
They see the Ominous shadow Of the
Governor looming up behind the jurist
and are alarmed accordingly. They
take much stock in the stories, which
have been told from time to time. thar
the Governor aspires to the United
States Senate and can cOnstrue the
Governors peaceful withdrawal from
the gubernatorial fight in no other way
than that he has his eye on Cullom's
toga.
Tanner, they figure, thinks that II
would be easier to be elected to the Sen.
ate than to the Office of Governor. They
believe the Governor argues that time
will cause the hostility toward him to
die out, and they believe that he ex'
poets to stand an excellent show in the
senatorial fight, providing the reins OF
power are in the hands Of friend.

quested his friends to attack the Han

surance of his ability and the ability of
two or three others to entirely dom
mate the Republican party of Cook
County that was shown at Springfield.
If he Is in earnest in his statement he
does not know the temper of the Repub'
licans of Cook County. Scores of prom
inent men in Cook County have ex'
pressed their dissatisfaction with the
transaction of Mr.. Lorimer and his i'm

assured me that under no circum

have told me that they will allow nc

the Republicans of Cook County upon

CAN'T DEFEND suns,

According to a report submitted to
the City Council by City Attorney An
drew J. Ryan, a deplOrable state Of af.
fairs exists in his department Of the
municipal government. The City At.
tOrney has departed from the custom of
cOngratulating the city upon his efii-
Client services and makes no attempt to
smooth over the farce which has been
known to have been enacted in the
courts during recent years at the clty's
expense. The report shows that the
City Attorneys office Is wholly unable
to cope with the mass of litigation piled
up against the city; that unless the
Council takes immediate steps to i'm
prove conditions the city will be beaten
out Of many thousands Of dollars by
reason of unjust damage claims, and
that legislation Is imperatively neces-
sary to relieve the municipal govern
ment Of liability which should be
placed upon corporations operating I'M
der franchises granted by city ordin-
ances.
The total number Of suits pending
against the city Of Chicago for personal
injuries by reason of defective side
walks and streets Is 1,4O4, and the total
damage claimed in these cases Ia 500,
$4,000. There are also pending 151 Pc
titions and claims, referred by the FL
nance Committee Of the City Council,
wherein no specific sum is claimed. The
total number Of suits at law and petit
tons pending is 1854. In this connec-
ton Mr.. Ryan says:
II desire to direct the attention of
your honorable body to the alarming
increase of this class Of litigation
against the city Of Chicago during the
last few years, and that 1t may be more
fully appreciated quote the following
figures from the reports of my prede'
cessOrs: Jan. !, 1897, there We're pend
ing 716 suits at law and petitions and
claims for personal injuries wherein
the city Of Chicago was defendant. Jan
!, 1898, there were 1,115 suits and
claims OF this character. Jan. 1, 1890
there We're Lib suits and claims
Of this character. Jan. !, 1900
there We're 1,554 such suits and claims
ut will be noted that within three
years this class Of cases has increased
| over 100 per cent, and II the amounts
Of judgments increase correspondence
the report Of next year will show a
least 100000 worth Of judgments
rendered against the city of Chicago fol
personal injuries"
The principal reason for this aston
ishlng increase, it Is pointed out, Is thu
number Of defective sidewalks and ba(
streets, and the Council Is asked to leg
islate to reduce the danger to life ant
limb from this source. Another reason
mentioned Is the lack of facilities Il

business basis and the need OF a SUI

DAIRY UNiON Will Fi0HT HANECX

The Illinois Dairy Union has entered
on a campaign against the nomination
Of Judge Hanecy. Circulars signed by
Charles Y. Knight, Secretary Of the
State and Of the national organization
Of dairymen, are being distributed
brodcast in dairying sections. There Is
a cartoon representing the Judge rs
kicking the dairy farmer out Of court
in 1907 and asking for his vote now.
The circular also tells dairymen that
they have $4,000 votes in Illinois, ana
that they should defeat his election II
they cannot prevent his nomination.
The last issue Of the dairymen's official
organ, Chicago Dairy Produce, has a
long article showing the political
strength Of this interest. The creamery
counties are tabulated as having a Re
publican majority Of 74,375, and the
counties without creameries rs having
a Democratic majority Of 1905.
Judge Hanecy makes light Of this Mt
tack. He says his ruling on butterine
cases, brought under the anti.cOlor law,
IL in conformity with the decisions by
the United States Supreme Court, the
Michigan Supreme Court and the Uni
ted States District Court Of Minnesota.
He held that butterine and butter are
both manufactured products and prac-
tically the same, only made In different
ways.
The dairymen's organ retorts that the
United States Supreme Court has twice
upheld the constitutionality Of an anti
color law similar to Illinois; that the
Michigan Supreme Court did not pass
on the merits Of a similar law, but de.
clared the act void because its enactng
clause had been omitted, and that pe
United States District Court Of Minnie
sofa simply held that wholesaler had
n right to receive and sell the original
package of butterine from outside OF
the State to the first person On the
State.

COUNTRY REPUBLICANS ANGRY.

Country Republicans are particularly
bitter because OF the alleged arrogance
OF the Cook County bosses with refer
ence TO Judge Hanecy's candidacy, and
the indications are that "bosslsm" will
be somewhat Of an issue at the State
convention. Meantime the primary
law will play a part In the selection of
delegates.
Congressman Reeves, who leads the
country candidates for the gubernatO-
rial nomination, has a suite Of rooms in
the Grand Pacific, and his headquar-
tiers are crowded daily. Mr.. Reeves re-
ceived scouts during the week from the
northern half Of the State and Is laying
wires in every district In the State.

LARGEST
WEEKLY CIRCULATION
IN CHICAGO.
LATER DATE CAUSES PANiC IN
HANECY RANKS.

The Republican State Central Com
mltee has been called to meet In the
Great Northern on Saturday morning
to act again on the State Convention
date. There Is no doubt, say members
of the committee, that the action taken
at Springfield will be rescinded, and
that the convention will be changed
from April 10 to May 0 or 10.
This certainty Of later date has up
set a good many plans Of politicians. 1t
Is taken to be less favorable to the Han
ecy candidacy than to the others. The
apparent program Of the Hanecy BOOM
ers, after the show Of hands at the love
feast and the setting Of the early con-
vention date, was to make their battle
cry Cook County Is solid" and STAN
pede the country.
month the country politician, who Is
wary of Cook County domination, will
have so much more time to look about
him. Those who went from the love
feast feeling that they We're being
rushed by Cook County's big four
will have so much more time to argue
that Congressman Lorimer and Il. n.
Jameson ought not to be permitted to
name the party ticket in advance. But
the effect Of a later convention date
will be the more pronounced because 1t
entails late primaries in Cook County.
Under Judge Carter's opinion the prim-
aries here cannot be held until after
May /. BY that time 1t is assumed that
nearly every other county in the State
will have held its convention. Cook,
therefore, even IL solid for Judge Han
ecy, cannot stampede the country to the
extent 1t might II its will We're made
known early. And with such strong
undercurent Of talk that a revolt
against "big four dictation Is sure to
break out here, country counties Will
be all the more likely to avoid combina'
tons with anybody in Cook.
All this, IL Is obvious, will give
Messrs Reeves and Yates and the can
didates for minor places on the ticket
wider opportunity for sOlidifying their
strength In the country and making
combinations against Cook. II Mr.
Reeves, Tor example, can snow WHAT MS
friends claim-GO country delegates
before ever Cook County primaries are
held, the stampeding may be turned the
other way, and reyolters against Cook
County's big four may be immeasur'
ably encouraged.
The Reeves people are we'll pleased
with the necessity for postponing the
convention date. Meanwhile, lest any
thing be overlooked, they are going
ahead with the enlistment OF friends
here, and are extremely confident thai
they could make an effective fight fol
Cook County delegates next week II i
We're necessary. Congressman Reeves
Is so well satisfied with the way things
stand that he returned to Washington
on Wednesday, leaving his candidacy
In the hands OF his friends.
