War between the younger and older ele-
ments in the Republican party Of st. Clair

the old-line men. One of the principal
fights is 10 be made or the nomination for
state Senator. The present incumbent IS
H. C. Begole Of BelleviFle. and when he
became a candidate for the office Of State
Treasurer II was generally supposed that he
had abandoned all hopes of again becoming
a candidate for State Senator. Then II
was that the young element in the Repub-
lIcau party IN Believille put up the name OF
n. l. Munie of Belleville as a candidate
Tor the office. Mr.. Munie agreed to run II

10 get the nomination for him. Recently
vcrd was sent TO certain sections that the
machine would not stand for the nominal
lion Of Mr. Munie. but would insist on r

caused the young men to begin vigorous
contest.
