catch.

Judging from the reluctance exhib-
tied by the Cairo sports who have
been called upon for appropriations to
support Cairo's baseball team this
season, Cairo will have q hard time
this season in getting players for
trial
The managers of the baseball team
have raised only 1915 and have 5000
to raise before the necessary cspital
is secured, and although the papers
and enthusiasts have heen working
with untiring energy to secure the
necessary funds, the people are slow
to respond and it will require several
days of real hot weather to bring them
around.
However there is little doubt that
the necessary money will be raised
and the team will be ordered to re-
port within the next few days wheth-
err the money is all secured or not.
Eddie Powers, Of Cairo, who was
sold to the Louisville American asso-
citation team by the Cairo manage
ment, will not be retained in the
Louisville team. Powers not beiBg
able to keep up with the fast compa-
ny he has been suddenly thrust in.

in the bunch was Sullivan Lyons, of

MAGNITUDE OF VICTORY
WILL PROVE PARTY UND0ING
Says Hon. e. w. Hurst, in Discussing
Results Of Election OF Last
Tuesday.

The Chicago American yesterday
published interviews with number of
democratic leaders on the question OF
reorganization of their party in view of
the results of the election of the past
week. Among those whose views were
gained was Hon. E. w. Hurst. of Rock
Island. Mr.. Hurst said:
Il do not believe it is worth while
TO talk of reorganization OF the party
at this time. If we profit by the lesson
taught in the recent election. reorgan-
ization will take care of itself. A study
| of the result in Massachusetts, Color
ado. Minnesota and Missouri, where
the democratic candidates for governor
were recognized as champions of the
rights of common people and as
against the privileges of the few, and
the victory of La Toilette in Wiscon
sin. who fought for the same principle
shows that the people believe in the
fundamental principles of democracy
as well as leaders upon whom they feel
confident they can depend.
There is not room enough in thiA
country for two parties appealing to
that quality of conservatism represent
ed by the friends of the trusts and the
Wall street influence, and the demo
cratic party should be radical enough
to wage a relentless warfare against
the trusts. II should advocate tariff
revision by the friends of the people
and not by the beneficiaries of the sys
tenn. In short, the party should be
| absolutely true to the fundamental rin
Iciples of democracy. equal opportuni
ties to all, special privileges to none.
Let the democratic party take heart
and get together The very magnitude
of the victory of the republicans is
likely TO prove their undoing"

SPICY CASE is TO BE TRIED
Leonard Stropes Defendant in Pro-
ceeding in County Court.

The November term of the county
court was convened today. Tomorrow
there is on the docket for trial the bas-
tardy case against Leonard Stropes. of
Edgington, in which Miss Gertrude Ba-
ker. of the same place, is the
prosecuting witness. 1t is out Of
the ordinary to have one of these
cases come to trial, as there is
almost invariably a settlement be-
tween the parties concerned. This one
will be heard before jury, and it will
be of a highly sensational character.

DIFFERENCES ARE ADJUSTED
Part of the Work to Be Done by Piece
and Part On Time Here
after.

Twenty-Five employees of thSs Tri-City
Regalia company who went out on a
strike a week ago for alleged violation
of the contract that the union had en-
tered into with the company for a year
returned to their places at the factory
on Third avenue between Fifteenth
and Sixteenth streets this morning, the
differences having been amicably adj
justed at conference between the
contending parties.
The trouble arose over the company
alternately having the employees work
on time and by the piece, the position
of each side having been presented in
communications that have appeared in
these columns during the past week
Ali the employees who went out are
members of the Regalia Workers un-
ion.
To Divide Up the Work.
BY the terms of settlement the COM
pany is TO apportion the work in flu.
ture. some to be done by the piece and
some by the day. The scale of wages
remains unchanged. Hereafter the EN-
ployes are to quit at instead of 3: sc
on Saturdays during the cool months
and in summer. excepting when there
is rush of work. they are to be al
lowed a half holiday.
Both the management and the work
ers at the factory state that they have
arrived at an understanding that
should prevent any further disputes
of the seriousness of the one that has
just been adjusted.

UsuaI Democratic Majority.

Colonel william +. Switzler OF Column
bia is in the city attending the Worlds
Fair for few days He is stopping at
No 372 Walton avenue. Yesterday morn
ing he called at the Democratic State
headquarters.
Boone County will give more than her
usual Democratic majority this year" he
said. Folk will draw Republican as well
as Democratic votes l would prefer not
to give their names for publication. for as
soon rs they were found out they would
be prosecuted with literature, party disci-
pline ard every device known to hungry
Office-seekers.
"Walbridge is not popular in our coun-
ty. We do not relish putting the prcsi
dent of the Bell Telephone Company on
the Board of Equalization. Neither do
we relish an alliance where Butler and
Doodle would come out victorious. He is
a machine man. and nothing else. The
minor Republican nominees are mere
pawns I'm his game-so many assets. That
does not appeal to rural voters Of any
party.
Another feature that has made him
weak Is the TACT that every disreputable
element would rejoice In his election over
the man who made these same elements
vince. We Boone County people wish to
elevate man who will cause sorrow
among the hoodlers. not rejoicing We
know what Mr.. Folk is. He has made a
positive record in right doing"
