knowledge or consent we see the limit
1t is a comedy of exceptional merit,
with a vein direct from the fountain of
fun.
The Rock Island Union may call me
names. but please do not forget that
Mr.. Scott never denied giving Mrs.
Mellow but $500 out of a S1,G75 verdict.
never denied refusing Mr.. Powells
case because he was under obliga-
tons to LoOney, and never denied Civ
ing a railroad pass to Looney. never
denied that Looney nominated him.
never denied that LOoney has work
ed for his election.
l challenged Scott TO meet me in the
open to prove these things before the
public-he declined. He made counter
charges against me. 1 offered to meet
him in public to prove them false. he
declined. and now at the end of the
campaign. l ask the voters to watch
Looney and Scott to decide for them
selves. why Scott has parked along be
hind me instead of meeting me in the
open. | claim that have treated Scott
fairly and that in refusing me the right
TO meet him either upon the charges
made against him or the ones he made
against me, he acted as though <e did
not feel able 70 deny my charges or
sustain his own charges. The voters
who have heard us both must deC~

Further than this, information came
to The Argus Office from people who
had made il point to see for them
selves that as late as midnight Satur-
day night, LOoney was not only work
ing for Scott in uptown saloons, but
was showing people how to mark their
ballots in his favor.
You can't tar with the Looney stick
the man he did his best to deprive of
place on the official ballot.

SOME CONFUSION
Seems to Exist Regarding Dates Of
Recent Actions.

London, March 12.-Although there
is some confusion of dates in the
official messages from the far East
regarding recent attacks on Port Ar
thur and other engagements which
is probably due to the fact that those
affairs occurred during the night time,
no fresh action is known to have TAX
en- place on Friday.
A correspondent at Seoul describes
these Japanese attacks on Port Ar
thur as successful preparatory bonn
bardments" thereby intimating that a
greater attempt to reduce Port Arthur
is imminent
The official announcement from
Mukden that the Russian army corps
which has arrived at Hardin will be
held there because of the landing of
Japanese troops at different points
and the various reports of the inten-
tions of the Japanese commanders, is
an unintentional tribute from Viceroy
Alexieff to Japans extraordinary sue
cess in concealing her plan of cam
paign and mystifying the enemy as
to her movements.
