history of state conventions, which is
mus broken by the nomination of Mr..
Deneen, began when the
opened balloting on Friday, May 13-
a date certainly ominous of trouble.
After frultlessly balloting for a week
the convention took a recess till Tues
day, June 1, when things were resumed
where they had been left off. There
no substantial change as a result
or the immense amount of underground
work that had been done during the
recess.

powerful influences against hin, ha

and went into the convention With more
delegates than any other n man held
Lowden was the candidate of the
corporations and franchise %grabbers of
the taxdodsers, the railroads
and the Chicago franchised corpora-
lions wanted him. Deneen was the
candidate of the better element, as op-
posed to the Lowden backing. He
stood for the people who want honest
legislation, honest councils, honest taxi
no grating and no Doodle. He
was q candidate on his magnificent rec
ord OF many years as a fearless and eff
fective prosecutor. 1t was a hard fight
between Deneen and Lowden in ChicaS
