M'CASKRIN ENTERS
Race for Mayor of Rock Island as
an Independent Can.
didate.
WILL SERVE WITHOUT SALARY
Declares He Will Not Tie Up With
ANY Political Ma
chine.

Aid. G. Washington McCaskrin this
afternoon admitted to an Argus re-
porter that he was an Independent
candidate for the Office of mayor of
the city of Rock IsIand-not of Chi
cagO. Doubtless the determination on
the part of the Fourth ward states
man to make this declaration had
something to do with his change of
plans with reference to removal to
the windy city.
You may understand that | am "a
candidate for the office of mayor en-
tirely independent of any political
machine" declared Aid. McCaskrin.
While / am republican, I am a firm
believer in nOn-partisan administra-
ton of municipal affairs. If l con-
scented to engage in a contest with
the machine at the primary, and hap
pen to win, l would naturally be un-
der obligation to the party workers.
Therefore | conclude that to be in
dependent in fact l must go on the
official ballot by petition. My friends
have kindly taken this matter in
charge and petitions will be circula-
ted by them in due time.
Merit System Favored.
There is no question but what a
non-partisan administration of city
affairs would be productive of much
good. The merit system could then
be vigorously enforced. l believe
both the chief of police and superin-
tendent of waterworks should be
elected by the people. The mayor
would not then be called upon to APP
point some political friend. regardless
of his qualifications. | believe the pa
trolmen should be selected and pro
NOTED solely on merit regardless of
their politics.
The present unfortunate situation
of city affairs, and the bad name il
has been given through the wholesale
Indictment of it's officers. is due in
large part to party government and
machine government in the past and
at the present time. | don't pro,
nounce upon the outcome of those in.
dicted; that is the duty of the courts;
but | do feel free to say that under
! an honest, non-partisan administra

Offices should not be parceled out t.

service. They will be made thus
however. just as long as you hav,

LOAFERS MAKE HIT
Edgington p. A. Club Royalty En-
tertains Crowd of
400.
o. L. BRUNER MANIPULATEs GAvEl
Speeches, Music, Stories. Feast and
Strict Enforcement Of
Rules.

The annual meeting of the Loafers'
p. a. club at Edgington Saturday was
a bowling success, if the stories of
those who shared the hospitality of
that enterprising organization are to
be credited. The attendance number
ed about 400 and the session lasted
from 10:30 a. IN. to 4:15 p. m.
The Rock Island delegation upon
arriving at Taylor Ridge in the morn
ing was met with eight bobsleds and
taken over the five miles of snow to
the Edgington hall in jiffy. There
proceedings had already begun. Head
Loafer o. L. Bruner occupied the dry
goods box with a new hedge gavel.
which, by the way, he completely
wore out calling turns on the visitors
and members.
Welcome by DIR. Miller.
The meeting formally opened with
an address of welcome by DR.. Allen
Miller, of Edgington, and j. G. Brit
ton, of Andalusia, responded. Then
there were talks by w. \. Meese, b. f.
Peek. NJ. j. McEniry and A. II. Kohler.
of Moline, and Maj. c.. w. Halves, of
this city. After these there were a
great number of stories, songs, etc,
by the members and visitors. and in
| terspersing them Bleuer's band gave
concert program.
Head Loafer Bruner was the I'M
challenged autocrat of the occasion
and what he said went He kept his
eagle eye upon the assembly and
whenever he saw any breach of pro-
| priety committed by anyone he inn
mediately let go with his gavel and
stopped proceedings. \ speaker
might be caught in the middle of Il
| flight of oratory or the band might
be playing, but it was all the same.
Everything stopped on the instant
and the offending party was prompt
ly initiated.
Continuous Vaudeville
There was no stay of proceedings
for dinner, table being set through
out the day at Rushe'S hall across the
street and hot coffee being on tap all
the time to wash down the stacks of
sandwiches, square rods of pies and
windrows of doughnuts that had been
provided. Propriety according to the
rules of the club was maintained in
the dining room, infringements being
strictly looked after. Woe to the man
who took less than quarter of Il pie
or who returned to the meeting place
without a 1O-penny nail from the key
on the table for toothpick.
The fun was so fast and furious
that it required an hour for the meet
ing to adjourn after the program had
been completed. The session finally
ended in time for the visitors from
the city to be taken to Taylor Ridge
and catch the last train in. which was
held till $3.50 for the occasion. The
meeting was the event of the season
in the lower part of the county and
no one who was there will be likely
to miss the next annual reunion A.
he can Eelp it.

as Lipton's new challenger for the AM
erica's cup, was dlsmasted in a squall
today, shortly after leaving this harbor
preparatory to another trial spin with

all the gear and canvas overheard. One
man was drowned and several persons,
including Sir Thomas, who was knock

otherwise injured. The man who was
drowned was a brother-in-Iaw of Cap

wise the disaster must have been null

life was lost. The hull Of Shamrock III
was not damaged by the mast as when
it went overheard it went solid. There
was, at that time, only one break
which was about seven feet above deck.
AS the big spar, with it's weight Of can

ing down until it rested on the bot
tom. 1t Is believed it Will be compar-
atlvely easy to repair the mast, but the
whole suit of canvas Is ruined. Sir
Thomas had a narrow escape. He was
thrown down the hatchway with
sailor and fell with such force as to
break the board flooring covering the
tank. Sir Thomas informed the corre-
spondent of the Associated Press that
he expects to be ready to fulfill his en-

and Montoya. The old settlement OF
Liberty has gone out of existence since
the town of Tucumcari was built. on
the Bell ranch, just across the Quay
county border, alfalfa is raised success
fully and $4,000 head of cattle are graz
ing A very prosperous sheep ranch is
that of the ST concern in which Gov
ernor Richards of Wyoming, who has
also other interests at and near Tucum-
carl, is extensively interested.
One of the leading spirits In building
up the town is Colonel Theodore w.
Heman, formerly of White Oaks, and
an old Republican war horse who is
we'll known throughout the territory,
and Alex. D. Goldenburg, the merchant.
An indication of Tucumcarl's growth Is
the fact that the receipts of the post
office have increased so rapidly that 1t
will be elevated to the presidential
rank on July /. 1t will then be moved
into new and more commodious quar-
ters. A telegraph operator on the ROCK
Island said to the writer yesterday: Il
was at Tucumcari IL months ago and
there were only few shacks and tents
there. / wouldn't go there If I was
you." The writer was therefore pleas
antly surprised to find so substantial
and so beautiful town that will have
$500 inhabitants by next year this
time, and is now climbing to the 2,0oO
mark, having passed the 1000 point by
at least 100 people. Carpenters and
stone masons are kept busy on new
buildings of which the writer counted
IA under construction and about 40 with
all the appearance Of having been COM
pleted only the past few weeks. Tucum-
carl is rapidly outgrowing Santa Rosa
and has outgrown Clayton, and If 1t
keeps on growing at the present rate
will outgrow most of the other towns OF
New Mexico before this decade has
passed.
