ENGlNEMEN ARE DIRECTING

Word comes from Chicago that the
Rock Island enginemen are nursing a
grievance. claiming that the new ar
rangement by which the Alton crews
are handling the Golden State Limited
between Chicago and Joliet over the
Rock Islands tracks is violation OF
he Rock Island schedule controlling
he service of the company and EN-
Dioyes. Ii is said that they wish TO
furnish the crews over the Rock
Islands tracks. Ii is not believed. how
ever. that the complaint will be push
ed very actively. as it is conceded that
the two roads could hardly agree TO
such an arrangement. The mileage
for the Rock Island crews would be
but 40 each day. and il would be neces-
sary to work the Golden State in a

HAVE TILL JAN.
Richard Yates and Rowland Ham
lin Have Month to De-
eide
UPON SENATE CANDIDACY
After That Some of Deneen Leaders
Will Be Found in CuIiom Camp
Governor in Conference.

At a conference of Deneen organiZa
ton men yesterday in the Great North
ern hotel it was decided that no action
in the United States senatorial contest
should be taken until after Jan. /
Gov. Deneen met his lieutenants
There were present James Pease.
William H. Weber. State Chairman Roy
o. West, County Chairman James Red
dick, State Senator Daniel Campbell.
County Treasurer John Hanberg, and
Fred Busse.
The significance of the decision to
hold off from any possible action in re-
gard to the succession to Senator Cul-
lom lies in the fact that after Jan. 1
no candidate against Cullom will be
able to command the support of the
Deneen people as an organization.
After that date the various leaders
in the organization will be at liberty
to go To any candidate they may
choose. and it is practically certain
that at least two will be for Cullom if
no other candidate is in the field by
that time.
Must Decide I'm Month.
Richard Yates and Howland J. Ham
lin have one more month in which TO
make up their minds regarding this
contest. Deneen will be relieved of
all further responsibility with regard
to Yates If he has not decided by the
first of the year The governor was
not able to tel the other members of
the organization whether there would
be a candidate against Cullom, but he
advised conservative action. He ar
gued that there would be nothing lost
by delaying the matter for another
month. and that by taking sides now
with any candidate the organization
might find itself embarrassed because
of its decision
He asked the members of the organ
;zation not to commit themselves at
the present time.
Seek Workers for CulIOm.
Marshal Charles p. Hitch. of Edgar
county, Cullom state compaign man
ager. is in Chicago. Both he and Mar
shall Anes. with William Lorimer, the
Cullom Chicago manager. have been
endeavoring 10 get Deneen TO take
charge of the Cullom petitions.
Their argument has been that there
is no other republican candidate for
the senatorship than Senator -Cullom,
and that il would be no more than
proper that the republican organiza-
tion in each ward should take charge
of his interests.
II this plan had gone through it
would have put finish 10 any thought
of an opposition candidate. and, while
the prospects of opposition are not
brilliant at this time. II was regarded
as poor politics for the Deneen organ
iZation TO commit itself to Cullom's re-
election now or to allow any portion
of the organization to ally itself with
Lorimer and the Cullom movement
Before the conference of last week
the Lorimer people had accomplished
so much with some members of the
Deneen organization that a number of
Deneen precinct men were TO have
called at the Cullom headquarters Mon
day morning for copies of the Cullom
petitions. and were to have started at
work early this week.
The conference of Saturday stopped
this and the men did not show up.
