EVE OF CONVENTION
Democrats to Nominate Candi-
dates for County Offices
Tomorrow.
SITUATION AS TO REPRESENTATIVE
t. A. Fender Withdraws From the
Race-HOw Others
Stand.

The outcome of the contest for mi
nority representative Endorsement
before tomorrow's democratic coun-
ty convention is as probIematical- as
it has been at any time. While can
didates continue to make claims as
to the control of delegations, this
being especially true as far as Rock
Island is concerned, there is if any
thing more of the appearance that
a percentage of the delegates will go
into the convention free-handed, and
that it will take their vote to dis
cover how they stand. In other
words. there has developed a mani
fest disposition that the convention
will be run by the delegates instead
of the candidates.
T. \. Fender this afternoon made
announcement of his withdrawal as
candidate for the minority repre-
sentative Endorsement. Mr.. Ponder
has made fair and manly canvass
for the honor at the hands of his
party, and while the outcome of the
primaries in Rock Island was not
what he had expected, he still found
sufficient encouragement to continue
the contest when a careful summing
up of the results was made Yestcr-
day. Upon reflection, Mr.. Fender has
concluded to withdraw, to the end
that his delegates may be released to
vote for whom they may sec fit in
the interests of the party.

AID. M'CASKRIN EXPANDS:
REPRESENTS TWO WARDS

Aid. George w. McCaskrin, when
questioned by an Argus reporter
as to whether he was really
still a resident of the Fourth ward.
in which he was recently elected to
the council, gave an evasive reply,
stating that his home is in his office
and that he sleeps there part of the
time. He admitted, however. that he
spends portion of his time between
days at 1921 Second avenue, to which
place his household goods have been
removed from the Fourth ward since
his election. Thus residence is
claimed in two places and Mr.. Nc
Caskrin may legally hold the title of
alderman of the Third and Fourth
wards.
