earnest and has been for some
time. AT first the slate was
headed with the name Of Sam B.
Cook, but the Caldwell testimony
and the Speed incident proved too
much for the confident Democracy
and he was quietly squelehed.
Then Judge CAN'T headed the
list and there was a great hurrah
and a tremendous beating Of camp
kettles, but a confederate speech
or two, a newspaper contempt
case and a determination TO hang
on to everything in sight, was too
heavy a load to carry, so CAN'T
was dropped like a hot potato.

Not "Just as Good"

Your dealer may tell you that some
other brand of peaches and pears and
other fruits is as good as or the same as
Monopole. Don't you believe such a
statement 1t isn't 80 and your dealer
wouldn't make it if he would only com.
pare all the other so-called high class
brands with Monopole. Monopole
fruits are packed to order in special
canneries and are packed in special
way. They are, therefore, sweeter,
more natural in flavor and more delici-
GUS than any other brand. Get Mono
pole from your grocer. Wadhams &

Cicero J. Indy, chairman Of the Munich

these bills under consideration, has an

sued a statement in which he declares that
he does not wish the heat and accompany

paigD to influence the action Of his COM

His explanation was published largely in
the Chicago papers. but. judging by edi-
toriai utterances since. the distinguished
Cicero's statement is net accepted as the
truth and nothing but the truth. Cicero.
accordingly. has not been in the best of
humors, and maintains that he is a much

By A STAFF CORRESPONDENT.
Springfield. ILL.,, March S.-The Gardner
primary bill. passed by the Senate last
week. as a political scheme. is about as
bare-faced a proposition as could be put
into legal language. 1t simply would crowd
everybody out of the opportunity TO gain
political preferment, save the machine"
men OF either party. The voter. who classes
himself as an independent, would be no.
where and powerless.-
The measure limits the petitioners who
sign nomination papers for independent can
didates to qualified voters, who have not
attended any primary or caucus held to
nominate candidates or signed any other
nomination papers. 20 per cent petition
is required.
Analysis of the bill discloses several pecu-
liar features. IL mans name were men
toned in convention. or IL he receive one
vote. he would not be eligible. In fact the
whole point and purpose evidently is to es-
tablish more securely the men who control
their districts. as regularly election year
rolls round by fixing the delegates.
Politics is fairly certain and scientific
business now. Senator Gardner would have
It more So

enacted and his reasons for opposing a
