GREAT MEETING AT ROCKFORD

prominent citizens were escortine
Congressman Jones from the train,
and as he walked to the platform he
was greeted by round after round of
applause. Congressman Jones. who
is among home friends when in Rock
ford, followed the senator. He took
up the rest of the evening and simply
held the audience spellbound during
his entire speech. The major part
of his talk was devoted to the Ia
tional ticket and in comparing the
years of 1892 to 1896 with the pres
ent times of plenty and prosperity.
He closed his talk on state issues and
astonished his hearers by telling
them a few facts from George Turn
er's record, and proved to the salts
faction of the entire crowd that
Turner was not sincere in his mo-
tives. Both speeches had a telling
effect on the voters of this precinct.
Representatives of every adjoining
precinct were present, besides the
many county candidates. After the
meeting refreshments were served
and those present met the candidates.

TURNER'S BAD RECORD IN
CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION

state to accept or use a pass or tic
purchase transportation from any
railroad or other corporation, other
than as the same may be purchased
by the general public, and the legis-
lature shall pass laws to enforce this
provision"
J.. z. Moore offered an amendment
to the schedule of the committee on
corporations other than municipal,
which amendment made 1t unlawful
for any railroad or other t~ransporta-
ton company to grant passes 10 any
public officer; and when the amend
ment came up for adoption George
Turner voted no. See page 271. Pro-
ceedings of Constitutional Conven-
ton.
But in spite of the opposition of
George Turner the clause was adopt
ed and is now a part of the state con-
| stitution as Section 90 of Article XII,
and is as follows:
mo railroad or other transporta-
ton company shall grant free passes,
or sell tickets or passes at a
| other than is sold to the public gen.
orally, to any member of the legislat-
| ure, or to any person holding any
public office within this state. The
legislature shall PASS laws to carry
this provision into effect"

| lions and moved to strike from the
record, and voted for his motion, a
clause bringing corporations as well
as individuals within h action OF
the law of eminent domain. See page
lSs of the Proceedings of the Consti-
tutional Convention.
But in spite of the efforts of George
Turner that clause remained and is
now a part of the state constitution
as Section 10 of Article XII, and is
as follows:
1.-The exercise of the right of emf
nent domain shall not be so abridged
or construed as to prevent the legis-
lature from taking the property and
franchise of incorporated companies
and subjecting them to public use the
same as the property of individuals"
These matters are of public record
and can not be disputed either by the
candidate or his organ.

Twice in the constitutional conven-
tion the voice of George Turner was
raised against inserting in that docu-
ment anti-pass provisions-once on
the clause making 1t unlawful for a
public official to accept a pass from
a railroad, and once on the clause
give a pass to a public official. The
voice of Turner was also raised in
that body in the interests Of cor
porations, when he moved to strike
from the records Of that convention
the clause making h law of eminent
domain applicable to property of cor
porations as well as to private indi-
viduals.
Trusting. perhaps, to the fact that
the records of the proceedings of the
state constitutional convention have
never been printed, and that examina-

terial with which to bolster UP the
cause of the candidacy of Mr.. Rookie
feller's Spokane lawyer has failed to

1t is particularly pat at this time
when the Turner organs have beer
falsely accusing Albert E. Mead OF
opposition to an anti-pass bill in the

made 1t unlawful for any public of.

when the amendment came up fol-

One of the grandest and most sue

public officials in the vicinity of
Rockford was that given last evening
to Congressman Wesley L. Jones and
Senator II. d. Crow. The large tent
used by the Christian church people
in holding revival meetings was
packed and over 500 people listened
with the closest attention until after
IL O'Clock. The train which brought
Mr.. Jones to Rockford was two hours
late, but the meeting was opened by
Senator Crow, who confined himself
almost entirely throughout his speech
to figures, facts and references to the
House Journal, and laid down such
facts that his opponents, and espe-
cially Turner, could not deny his
statements. He paid a handsome
tribute to the national ticket and
scored the Spokesman-Review and
