be advantageous to the Hearst senti-
mcnt that prevails in Rock Island
county today to attribute it to the cf-
forts of such wuuld-be political die
tators as Loouey. If there is the
slightest disposition on any side to in
fluence the sentiment of the demo-
Gratis of Rock Island county contrary
to what that sentiment actually is ON
the question of presidential prefer
ence; if there exists purpose on the
part of any element of democracy i'm
Rock Island county either to stifle the
Hearst sentiment or to sway the force
of democratic expression away from
Hearst or in favor Of any other presi-
Dental candidate. The Argus has not
learned Of il. If there existed i'm any
form purpose to defeat the express
sion of the majority Of the democrats
on the presidential or any other sub
jcct, The Argus would unhesitatingIy
repudiate il, as all good democrats
should. There cannot he a question
of doubt as to how the democrats as
a whole of Rock Island county feel on
the presidential question, and when
they get into convention they win de-
clare themselves without Looney's
consent or advice, and what is more,
they will not send him 10 Springfield
as the bearer of the sentiments Of the
democrats Of Rock Island on n ques-
tion of 50 much Importance as that of
a choice for the presidency. IT would
be about as complimentary to the
democrats of Rock Island county as
il would be to the presidential candi-
date himself to recognize as Il factor

cratic conviction. so conspicuous an
agency in the making Of republican
gubernatorial nominees as John +.

months ago. And the controversy
then presented is the same one that
has prccipitatcd the deadlock in the
republican state convention that re-
suited today in temporary adjourn
ment after weeks hopeless endeavor
to arrive at a decision.
The democrats Of Rock Island coun-

will on that Of rejecting Looneyism.
They viii show very clearly, if Tn.

ROUT LOONEY
Moline Democrats Show
Contempt For His
Caucus Tactics.
He HAS IL DELEGATES
Out of the So Elected
to Next Weeks Con-
VentiOn.
He HAS IL DELEGATES

John p. Looney controls only one
dozen of the So delegates elected at
the Moline democratic caucuses last
evening to sit in the county conven-
ton of Thursday of next week. at
which a delegation is to be chosen to
the state convention.
The issue in the Moline caucuses
was LOoneyism, democrats of that
city refusing to be misled into joining
hands with the leader of the Rock
Island rowdy element read out of his
party at the recent city-township CON
vention on his pretense that he is the
recognized leader in the county of the
interests of William Randolph Hearst,
and that those opposing him are doing
so because they do not favor the New
York congressman's presidential can
didacy.
Moline will send delegation in fa-
vor of Hearst to the county conven-
ton and opposed to Looneyism.
y sample of how Looney and hi
gang propose to conduct their eau
cuses was had in the Second ward of
Moline. Pat Mullane. one of LoonCy's
lieutenants in that city, called the
meeting to order and asked for nom
nations for chairman. One of his
crowd proposed Mullane. There was
Il vote, those in the meeting holding
up their hands to be counted. MuI-
lane was defeated Is to :. He declar-
ed there was a tie. Then it was sug-
gested that his vote decide. He voted
for himself. The anti-Looney demo-
Gratis thereupon withdrew from the
hall. Those remaining with Mullane
were: Charles Benen. Alphonse Grant.
Con Ryan. George ID. Boyle. f. B.
Beers and Thomas Wynn. These seven
appointed themselves delegates to the
county convention. The anti-Looney
democrats elected +. T.. SamuclS, the
Moline assessor, as chairman of their
meeting. with f. j. Jones as secretary.
and selected a contesting delegation
to the convention. Both caucuses
adopted resolution indorsing the
presidential candidacy Of Congress
man Hearst. In the Fourth ward the
LOoney crowd was Outnumbered four
to one. The Looney supporters held
Il caucus of their own and chose a
contesting delegation. In the Seventh
ward the Looney supporters were so
few that they did not figure in the
proceedings.

woman going down there and signing
this Jury waiver for Pauline Benson.
She forged it, 1t is a forgery. No
complaint had been entered. No adiu-
tiication had been had. Nothing. She
simply came down ana paid S9.1O for
the privilege of plying her nefarious
business. They call II fine There
was no fine. No complaint had been
made. johnson did not know that
there was such woman as Pauline
Benson. and no such woman was there
Just think Of that. and then say that
we have got on the side of the state
the police or the police magistrate.
Think of that proceeding. He didn't
fine the defendant herself. He must
not kill the Blue Goose that lays the
golden egg. That won't do. Simply
shake her down and let her 90. That
is the size of it. 1t is case of pay
your fine or get out of town. If you
want to stay here you must pay your
fine. SO much for the privilege OF
running disor5erly house. And the
explanation that the defendant gives
about this receipt is too foolish to
speak about"
Concluding. the states attorney APP
pealed to the jury to do complete JUS
tice in the case and to make an eX-
ample in this case to serve as a warn
ing TO others disposed to offend in
like manner.

duet. Carnes' name was signed to the
complaint, but he declares that he did
not write it.

The Feeling In Rock TsIand.


The exhibition that has been made
by the Looney followers, such as they
are in Moline. should only tend TO
strengthen the democrats in Rock Isl
and in their determination to select
their delegates to the citN-tOwnship
convention at primaries, rather than
to give countenance to the proceeding
authorized by certain of the commit
tcemen in Rock Island under a call
which was switched through on the
county committee and which makes
possible such opportunities for fraud
that Chairman Sexton has declined to
give his sanction to it. Three of the
LoOney caUcuSeS are scheduled for
this evening. those in the First. Sec
ond and Fifth wards. That in the
Fourth ward is to he held tomorrow
evening, and that of the Sixth ward
Monday evening. The notices for the
Third and Seventh wards have not yet
appeared.
The information comes that il is
the purpose Of Looney to follow his
usual practice of mingling the names
Of representative democrats on his
delegations with the names of his own
followers. and undertaking to vote
them TO suit his ends under unit
rule. This, il will be remembered. was
what he attempted in the recent city
township convention. where after
electing Robert Kuschmann as enc of
his delegates from the Fifth ward, he
insulted him i'm the convention by or
dering him not to speak On any sub
ject. as the delegation had selected
chairman to do its talking for it. In
view of this caper the public viii
await the announcement as TO the
composition cf Lconey delegations
with interest.
Trying to Create Prejudice
Realizing the utter hopeiessHcss Of
his efforts to rule the democrats Of
Rock Island through the system Of
brace caucuses that is to be pulled off
here. the Looney representatives are
now attempting to create prejudice
against the adopted method. declar-
ing il an anti-HcaFst movement. Ev-
erything that Is anfi-Looncy is anti
Hearst j. the impression that Looney
would have prevail in his assumed
management cf the Hearst campaign
N Rock Island county. The truth
about the matter is that the plan the
democrats of Rock Island are petit
t.oning for Is about as much repre-
sentative Of anti-Hearst as Looney is
representative Of the Hearst cam

The Moline Dispatch, a republican

the probable outcome of the Moline
caucuses, showed the sentiment in
that city against Looneyism. It said:
''Looney or anti-Looney is the issue
