BY the Ballot Next Monday.

Near the end of its editorial
May -, unsparingly condemning the
supreme court district gerrymander.
the Chicago Evening Post, a republi-
can newspaper says:
Courts may not inquire into the
motives of the legislature. but honest
and fair men may. do and must so in
quire. The act of April , is indefensi-
BILE from the viewpoint of pure poll
ties and legitimate partisanship. The
Office of judge should be regarded as
non-partisan."
There is no question as to the
soundness of this doctrine, and the
time and place TO apply it is at the
polls Monday. with votes for Hon. G..
{. Scott, for supreme judge. His can
didacy stands for precisely the prin-
ciple for which the Chicago Evening
Post contends. The candidacy of
Judge Carter stands for the gerry
mander so strongly condemned by the
Post.

full, abusive and undemocratic in ma
ture, and conclude with the assur-
ance that 1--WE hereby release and alb
solve all democrats of Rock Island
county from in any way aiding, sup
porting or voting for said Scott for
the position he claims to have been
nominated for, and we respectfully
urge the members of the democratic
party throughout the district to do
their utmost to defeat said Scott at
the coming judicial election as the
quickest and most decisive way of
him as a discordant and
destructive element in our party"
Working with Carter Machine.
While the meeting was planned, ar
ranged for and conducted by those
whose antagonism to Scott is promp-
ted by purely personal motives, it is
being worked entirely as a republi-
can adjunct and hand in hand with
the few who are advancing the can
didacy of Judge Carter. The press
committee representative of the meet
ing while ignoring the democratic pa
pers of the district was careful to
provide the republican papers with
the resolutions adopted.
If Judge Carter can find compensa-
ton in the element that has gone to
him from the democratic party in eX-
change for the kind and character
and the extent of republican votes
that are coming TO Mr.. Scott from the
republicans. he is welcome to it, The
friends Of Mr.. Scotts candidacy are
quite well satisfied with the exchange,
thank you.

CARTER METHODS
Adopted by Few Last Evening to
Oppose Candidacy of
G. C. Scott.
COUNTY, COMMITTEE
CALLED
Action Taken Tepudiated by Chair
man Sexton as Irreg-
s. uIar.

Rock Island, May 2S.--TO the
Democrats of Rock Island Coun-
ty and ELSEWHERE Throughout
the Fourth Supreme Court Dis
trtct:
Last nights meeting of the
Rock Island county democratic
committee was not representa-
tive, inasmuch as the request
for the call came to me too late
in the day to secure the attend
ance of members from all parts
of the county, and many of the
proxies were irregular. The
action taken in the face of my
protest does not voice the Senti-
ments of the democrats Of Rock
Island county, and is merely
the expression of a very small
faction of the party led by three
disgruntled democrats who
have personal grievances
against Mr.. Scott, growing out
of the legislative nomination
contest of last year. In this
Mr.. Scott upheld the candidacy
of G.. a. Cooke, of his own coun-
ty, in preference to w. r. Moore,
of Rock Island county. The
gathering of last evening had
no authority to repudiate Mr..
Scott on that account, much less
to absOlVe party members from
allegiance to his candidacy on
this or any other account, and 1
mot only denounce the course
Ipursued by the meeting of last
Ievening, but as chairman of
the democratic committee of
Rock Island county, call upon
all democrats to support MI.
Scott'S candidacy.

Chairman Democratic County
Committee.

a meeting was held at Turner hall
last evening by what purported to be
the democratic county central com
mittee, but which in reality did not
contain a majority of or even fair
representation of that body. The
call for the meeting was signed by
members of the committee and was
circulated at such time and in such
manner that only those whose pres
ence was desired by the prime movers
could attend.
Chairman John p. Sexton, of the
central committee, called the
gathering to order and read
the call, stating at the same time
that he was not the author of it and
referring to the lack of opportunity
that had been given for it's reaching
the country members. w. X. Moore,
of Moline, was then selected as secre-
tary in the absence of the reg
ular officer and vacancies in
the committee were filled by
proxies. Then John Z. Looney
moved that the committee go into
executive session. for the purpose, as
he stated, of excluding the represen-
tatives of the press who were pres
ent. The motion prevailed, and Kit
Atkinson was made Sergeant-at-arms.
Refuse to Show Proxies.
After those who did not make any
pretense of being members had left
the hall, Chairman Sexton urged that
steps be taken to ascertain who were
the regular delegates and who were
properly supplied with proxies. \ mo-
ton against this course was made and
was put by a member after the chair
man had refused to entertain ii, and
was declared carried. Chairman Sex
ton then asked that the proxies be
handed to the secretary, but this was
voted down.
The chairman then stated that, as
he was unacquainted with a number
of those present and did not have any
means of knowing whether they were
entitled to participate in the meeting,
he could not consider the meeting one
of the committee as regularly chosen,
and as he believed the meeting could
not properly transact business he
would not entertain any motion 9th
er than to adjourn.
A motion appointing a committee
on resolutions being made, it was put
in spite of the remonstrance of Mr..
Sexton and declared carried, and type
written resolutions were produced.
The motion to adopt them was put by
Looney and declared carried, and the
meeting having accomplished the pur-
pose for which it was designed by the
select coterie that had planned it, adj
journed.
Chairman Sexton opposed the pro-
ceedings at every stage and notified
those present that the action could
not be taken as binding others than
those who voted on the propositions
presented.
The Nervy Resolutions.
The resolutions, as furnished the
republican papers, are personal, spite

meeting being held at the rooms of
the Davenport Business Mems assO-
citation. About fifty men prominent
ly connected with the more important

The object of the organization is to
promote the mutual interests, of the
members and that of the three cities
as well, through an aggressive system
of advertising and otherwise pushing
the sale of homemade articles both
here and abroad. Railway rates and
harmful legislation will be matters
that will receive attention. One. of
the first enterprises to be undertaken
in connection with carrying into eff
feet the objects of the association
will be the running of excursions of
retailers to the three cities from adj

THE CHADWICK FAMILY REUNION.

The third annual reunion of the
James Chadwick association was held
in G. A. r. hall, South China, Sept. LIST.
About seventy-five were present, repre-
senting the States of Massachusetts.
Rhode Island, Connecticut and Calfor-
mia, and many towns in Maine.
The association was called to order at
II a. m. by President D. E. Foster of
Augusta. The singing was led by Rev.
J. A. Jones of Windsor, with Mrs.
Jones at the organ. Prayer was offered
by Mr.. Jones.
In the absence of Miss Jennie Moore
of Augusta, who had served so faith
fully the past two years, Miss Clara
Bennett of Augusta was chosen secre-
tary pro TEN. After the report of the
last meeting at South Somerville, and
treasurer's report, came the election of
officers, as follows: President, D. E.
Foster, Augusta; secretary and treasu-
er, Edward R. Chadwick, South China;
executive committee, D. E. Foster,
Augusta; Edward r. Chadwick, South

A. W. Chadwick, East Vassalboro; E.
O. Chadwick, Palermo, Frank Chad
wick, Augusta; j. E. Bartlett, South

The executive committee reported on
the subject of erecting monument in
memory of James and Ruth (Hatch)
Chadwick, whose graves remain un-
marked on the old home place, two
miles below South China. About $3.50
in cash and pledges has been received
for this purpose. The association
voted to suitably mark the graves and
erect in the Chadwick cemetery his
toric monument which shall cOmmem-
crate James and Ruth Chadwick as the
pioneer. settlers of China. TO do this,
it will be necessary to largely increase
the memorial fund. An urgent plea
was made that this might be done and
the monument dedicated at next years
meeting in South China.
J. w. Chadwick presented each men,
Der of the association with souvenir
mailing cards dated South China and
bearing upon them the cut of the first
house of James and Ruth Chadwick,
built at South China in 1882 and de-
stroyed by fire in 1856, while a better
house was in process of construction.
The meeting then adjourned till 1.3o

After enjoying fine dinner, the
members returned to the hall, where
they listened to:a most interesting and
valuable family history by Professor ).
