city and Town Separate.

The position maintained by LoOney
was that the board to determine the
contest was the mayor, clerk and one
alderman selected by lot. as where
the city and town are co-eXtensive
the township ceases to be and the
city assumes all prerogatives.
The facts are. however, that while
the city and town officers are nom
mated at the same convention. the
town and city are separate and dis
tinct. as is shown in the fact each
has an expense account, and the cleo
ton returns are canvassed by dis
tinctly different boards. Under these
circumstances. as well as in the
face of the law provided for
such cases. Locney had not n tena-
BILE position, the court holding that
the contest had been heard before the
proper tribunal. and its decision was
final under the law.
The weakness of LoOney's position
was shown at the very beginning.
when the court asked him if his writ
had been filed as part of the record.
This had been neglected. The OPP
posing counsel, however, waived this
technical irregularity, and the hear
ing was permitted to proceed. In the
application for the writ Stauduhar
assumes that if the names on the reg
ular democratic ticket are printed on
the official ballot TO the exclusion of
his own il will be to the ''irreparable
injury Of your orator and the other
candidates mentioned (most of whom
have since withdrawn in said nomina-
70,
the injury of the democratic party
and the citizens at large of the city
and town of Rock Island
In his argument Looney made it
clear that the application for iniunc-
ton was filed in view of mandamus
proceedings instituted in the circuit
court here and to stay the printing
of the official ballot until such man
damus proceedings were passed upon.
He desired the court therefore to
take into consideration the entire
scope of the process of law that had
been undertaken.
No Grounds for Mandamus
In view of this fact Judge Graves
ruling may be taken to mean. al
though it cannot be 50 specified. that
there is no more ground for the issu-
ing of the mandamus writ than there
was for the allowing of the injunc-
ton. Consequently the Looney idea
edit orially voiced i'm the morning pa
per that City Clerk Schaffer will be at
least hindered i'm going ahead with
the printing of the official ballot is
absolutely absurd 1t was this that
the denied injunction aimed to pre-
vent.
Apart from the attorneys, Messrs.
Searle and kenwOrthy, there were
present at the hearing before Judge
Graves u representative democrats
from Rock Island. including j. W. Cav
anaugh and j. p. Sexton. chairman
and secretary. respectively. of the
democratic city-township committee,
and T. J. Medill, who presided over
the regular party convention at Odd
Fellows hall On the Looney side
there were present Looney himself

A scientific writer srys that the
reason pop corn pops is because the
starch pologons are expansive under
heat causing fracture along the
radii, the endosperms swelling con-
siderably, while the perivideral por-
tions cohere with the hull and the
fractured quarters turn back to meet
below the embryo" 1t Is likely this
is the reason, but We always thought
that the reason was because the
corn got so hot hat it he'd to burst.
