SEES new LIGHT
Cooke McCaskrin Contest May
be Guided by Another
Ruling.
SUBCOMMITTEE TO SECURE 1T
question Raised Whether Ballots Were
ma LesaIized by Opinion
OF Hamlin.

Springfield News: The house com
mittee on elections has taken a new
tack in the McCaskrin case that will
appeal TO many as just and reasonable
4 subcommittee has been appointed
and has been instructed TO secure from
Attorney General Stead an opinion
whether or not the Hamlin instruc
lions To the people of Rock Island
county how to mark their ballots in or
der to. vote three votes for McCas
Hrin shall be taken into consideration
in the recount.
Mr.. Stead. it will be remembered
rendered the opinion that the ballots
marked as many were throughout the
McCaskrin district should be counted
only one and one-half votes for him.
Il is understood that Mr.. Stead made
this opinion on the presentation of 4
sample ballot and without knowledge
that his predecessor, Mr.. Hamlin, had
given the voters in that district in
structions that such a marking of the
ballot would be considered as equiva-
lent to- voting three votes for McCas-
krin.
Alters the Question.
The question now is not which is
the legal and right opinion. but wheth-
err the people having voted under the
Hamlin instruction and opinion, their
votes should be counted as he had told
them they should be and instructed the
judges to count them. In the Austral-
ion system the intention of the voter
is the test In this case the following
Of the instruction of Attorney General
Hamln by so many people. it is ar
gued. shows their intention TO vote
three votes for McCaskrin. Mr.. Stead
is now to be asked his opinion as to
what should be done in this particular
case. irrespective of What his opinion
might be on the abstract proposition.
Would Alter Case Entirely.
III he says that under these circum-
stances the ballots should be counted
as Hamlin had decided and had in
structed. then McCaskrin will be i'll a
strong position and his opponents will
nave to prove illegal voting. fraud or
count on the Hamlin basis must show
that Cooke had the more votes. There
has been a disposition among the
members to treat this contest fairly
and accord to- the people of Rock ISL
and a fair deal.

The Passing Of The Ch0DCrOn
IS Greatly TO Be DCDIOred

The American girl has almost entirely
dispensed with her chaperon. At first
she took the dear old lady along, sat
her safely off in a quiet corner. and pa
tientiy bore with her. because her Eng
fish cousins did not think it quite-well.
because nice English girls were never
seen anywhere without a chaperon, you
know. The chaperon, like real furs. a
family tree, and Il knowledge of the
correct thing, serves to distinguish the
society girl from the other girl in Eng
land. But not for long would the Amer
lean girl take dictation in the matter OF
her manners, and now she goes about
with only her maid or even with "a man
friend to parties and dances.
Yet, with tie passing of the ehaperon
the American girl loses the biggest gun
in her artillery of attractions. a
chaperon never was needed, of course,
to guard her morals or her manners,
nor to make a gentleman behave like j.
gentleman IN her company. That was
absurd But what.a beautiful wall she
made FOR love to leap overt Whispered
nothings, =. stolen glances. and subtle
firtations will go quite out of fashion,
now that a man no longer needs to
whisper his nothingS, but can say them
right out loud. look at a girl as much
and as tenderly as he pleases. and need
not exercise the least subtlety IN his
firtations.
The ehaperon was the innocent little
garden fence surrounding the rose. and
thereby making her seem doubIy atjrac-
tive She kept the man at his distance,
and that distance lent enchantmenJ
Anything which is fenced in, which is
difficult to reach, which must be sought
after climbed after. and finally stolen,
as we all know, is doubly as attractive

No Need to Be Coquettish.
Just so the shy chances of the bud,
shot stealthily out beneath the very
nose of the dragon chaperon, were twice
as fascinating as the perfectly non
chalant hirtations of the underground
girl. Indeed, the unchaperoned girl
doesn't dare give so many glances. nor
listen to so many pretty nothings, nor
appear so coQuettish as did the guarded
Young lady of the chaperon days She
must be doubly circumspect now that
she is responsible for herself. She has

Handsome Neck Effects.

'"The great demand now" said hair
dresser, SIS for the roll in any shape.
The bun, the big pompadour the double
roll at the back of the neck, and the hair
that is all laid in rolls, all of these
styles have become popular The demand
is not for the simple, neat, compact
hair dressing. not for the Psyche knot,
not for the Langtry coil, not for the fiat
head coil. but for the big round style
of hairdressing, the abundant style.
And to carry out this idea keeps the
hairdressers guessing"
From hair dressing to handsome neck
effects is only a step. and, indeed, one
verges in upon the other. and is merged
into it so that it Is impossible to treat
one without treating the other The
style of hair, the necklace, the stock.
and the bodice are all part Of each 9th

same manner.
