Mr.. CAVANAUGH's POSITION
Urges That Another Selection be Made
For Place at Head of
Ticket.

The democratic city-township com
mittee and the candidates of the party
met last evening at the Commercial
house. The meeting was a largely at
tended and enthusiastic one. Chair
man George II. Wright presided. The
committee elected B. Z. King secretary
of the meeting.
The letter of declination of the may
orally nomination on the part of J. w.
Cavanaugh was read, and its discussion
was the principal business Of the meet
ing. Before it was considered similar
letters were read from John 4. Stat
ford. and from Henry Frick, nominees.
respectively, for city attorney and su-
pervisor. Mr. Stafford's declination
was accepted, his withdrawal having
been filed with the city clerk during
the day. but on motion of Thomas Pen
der, the committee declined TO act on
the destinations of either Mr.. Cavan-
augh or Mr.. Frick
should BE Relieved.
The question of filling out the ticket
was warmly debated Mr. Cavanaugh
was present. and explained his reasons
for declining the nomination. He felt
that the party should make another Sc
lection. He had taken the nomination
merely for the time being as a duty,
and he thought now that he should be
relieved.
Paul Kersch, T. A Fender. and 9th
ers, were warmly in favor of having
the entire ticket filled, claiming that
without a complete ticket all of the
candidates would suffer Many of the
aldermanic candidates who were pres
ent were also warmly in favor of hav-
ing a complete ticket, and all urged
Mr.. Cayanaugh to reconsider his posi-
ton, and make the run for the office
of mayor. The feeling was almost
unanimous that the ticket should be
complete. and on motion of Mr. Pen

SOUIBS ABOUT
LOCAL POLITICS

Many a republican who has the city's
interests at heart is resolving now to
make himself a party alarm clock SO
that it won't Oversleep the next time
candidate for mayor is nominated.
The democratic ticket presents the
names of good men for municipal office
who will be found capable, honest and
trustworthy, men who will not shirk
their duty and who will labor for the
city's growth and advancement.
For the information of strangers in
Rock Island. it should be stated that
there is no city ordinance requiring the
nomination of Mr.. Knox. The republican
party just does it from force of habit
Battling" Nelson, of the Seventh,
doesn't round into form, and it is fear
ed now by his friends that he can't go
the distance
Oliver Olson, the independent candi-
date for city attorney. has his marbles
in the ring and has invited Mr.. LudOlph
back to taw. They will then plump to
see who gets the first shot. Mr. Olson
says it's for keeps-fOr fun, money,
marbles or chalk.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1905-03-21

There is one thing about Oliver Oh
sons candidacy for city attorney. He
did not get on the ticket at the sacri-
flee of party interests in the choice of
a head of the ticket, or through barter
and sale of his friends simply because
they were pledged to him and loyal to
him. And Oliver is still republican.
Pete Heverling has been running
for constable a week now, but he
hasn't got fairly started yet. Wait till
he gets going and he'll show you a
piece of speed that will make the fire
department look cheap.
Note the change in aldermanic can
didates in the Third ward: Joe Grote-
gut, the democratic nominee. must be
making them hump down that way.

Party Need in Campaign.
The topic of the meeting then be
came better organization, and ]. w.
Cavanaugh addressed the meeting on
the need of the party in the present
campaign. He said that at heart the
majority of the people of this city are
democratic He urged that the mem
beTs of the committee and the demo
Gratis of the city grasp the present OPP
portunity and make the most of it. IF
We get together, say We will elect our
ticket, and mean it. it can be done.
Get at the voters, let them know what
We are doing. and they will very gladly
support the democratic ticket"
This idea was enthusiastically re-
ceived. and the committee seemed of
the opinion that if Mr.. Cavanaugh
would consent to head the ticket and
make the fight, the voters of the city
would be back of him, and insure his
election
On motion of w. II. Lamont, a COM
mittee of six was appointed to arrange
for campaign meetings, the idea being
to hold a mass meeting of citizens in
the near future. and to have the best
speakers obtainable for the occasion.
The committeeman feel that the result
will be an awakening. and will give the
people an insight into conditions as
they really are. This committee is com
posed of Chairman Wright and Messrs.
Fender. Kinner, Dr. Comegys, J. P.

Candidates Are Heard.
The meeting then resolved itself into
an experience meeting. all of the candi-
dates being called upon to analyze the
conditions as they had found them in
their individual canvasses. All were
of the opinion that each new develop
ment had been advantageous and prom
Using for the democratic ticket. and
were confident that never had there
been so good an opportunity to elect a
ticket as is offered in the present cam
paign. A rising vote was taken on the
question of whether it was desired TO
have Mr.. Cayanaugh continue as the
party's candidate. and the vote was
in his favor. Mr. Cavan-
augh declined. however, to commit
himself on the question of remaining
on the ticket. although he expressed
his appreciation of the compliment paid
him.
A meeting of the committee and can
didates has been called for Friday ev-
ening, when the canvassing committee
for candidates will make it's report.
