ILLINOIS REPUBLICANS
HOLDING A CONfAB
The Three Rival Candidates for Gov
ernor Are Busy ButtonhoIine
Political Leaders.

SPRINGFIELD. HI, Jan. 21.-Re-
publican politicians of Illinois, repre-
senting every county of the state and
every faction of the party, are round
ed up III the capital today for their
biennial love feast. The excuse for
the gathering is the meeting OF the
state committee to fix the time and
place for holding the state convention.
rhe gathering affords an excellent Op-
portunity for drawing a line" on the
situation With regard To the guberna-
torial nomination and it is this fact
that is chiefly responsible for the pres
ence of 50 many Of the party leaders.
BY 10 O'Clock this morning the Le-
land hotel corridor and other public
places were alive with politicians, VINO
made states and discussed the various
gubernatorial candidates and their al
liances. Quietly but persistently cir
culating among the thrOngS of visi-
tors and buttonholing each new ar
rival We're the active lieutenants of
the three leading asprants for the
gubernatorial Observation-Disclosures
Yates, who aspires to head the ticket
, again: Colonel Frank @. LoWden, of
Chicago, who believes he has more
than an even chance of becoming the
standard bearer and Congressman Yes
pasian Warner, who has followed the
lead of his two rivals in making u
personal canvess of the state.
The poww'ow will probably be rich
| in interesting developments, but just
what effect it will have on the several
| booms can hardly be figured out at
present. More will be known after
the speechmaking tonight. Senators
Cullom and Hopkins have been in
vited to speak and also the various
Illinois representatives in the house.
Their speeches will be merely prelim-
mary to the opening of the big show"
which will consist of speeches by the
candidates for the gubernatorial NOM
ination. beginning with Governor
Yates and ending with Attorney Gen
eral Hamlin. Besides these. If time
| is left the party leaders will be enter
tanned with an address by Doc.
Jameson. Fred Rowe, Senator Len
Small, States Attorney Deneen OF
Chicago. and others who are reckOned
among the big men" of the republican
party in Illinois.
With such food of political ora
tory to be let loose it is small Won
Ger that the real work of the state
committee meeting is oVershadoWed.
Moreover the work of selecting the
time and place for holding the cOnNen-
ton is purely routine this year,
though Peoria may liNen things up a
| bit by cOntesting with Springfield for
| the honor of entertaining the gather
ing. The convention will i'll all pro-
liability be held early in May. which
seems to suit all parties concerned.
