Republican Members of LegisIa-

BAR TO NEW PRIMARY LAW
May Favor Separation Of Senatorial
and Legislative Districts in
State.

The question has been raised by
a number OF republican Illinois house
leaders, including W. Z. Trautmann,
chairman of the republican caucus,
and S. J. Drew of Will county. wheth-
er an amendment to the state consti-
tuition abolishing cumulative voting
would not be the best solution of the
tangle in which the republican mem
bers find themselves over the method
of choosing legislative and senatorial
candidates TO be provided in the re-
publican primary elections bill.
This would involve an entirely new
division OF the state, but providing
for distinct and separate senatorial
and legislative districts, one member
Of the lower house to be elected from
one district, instead of, as under the
present law. having three members of
the assembly included in one senator

voting would be abolished. party quar-

Long the Proprietor of Hotel in the
Village-Cancer Hastens
the End.

Jesse Maxwell, who established a
! shoe factory in this city in 1874. and
for many years was proprietor of the
Maxwell house in Port Byron, died AT
his home in the latter village last
night, at the age of So years. Mr..
Maxwell was hale and hearty until
about a year ago, when a cancerous
growth began to make inroads on his
remarkable constitution. This was
the direct cause of his death.
Deceased was a native of Green's
burg. Westmoreland county, Pa His
father. David Maxwell. was of Irish
origin, and probably descended from
progenitOrs who were born in ScC6
land and located in Ireland. as the
name is essentially Scotch. Mr.. Max
well was brought up on his fathers
farm to the age of IS. when he was
placed under indentures to learn the
trade of making boots and shoes.
First Home Built of Logs.
He served an apprenticeship of six
years, and passed four years suisse
quently as journeyman, according to
the custom in those days, operating
at various places. In 1910 he return
ed to his fathers homestead and es-
tablished a line of business there, in
which he was employed one and one
half years. He went next to the seat
of WestmOreland county and worked
at his trade there until his removal
to Illinois. In 1874 he located in the
city of Rock Island, opening a shoe
factory, which he conducted three
years, his business in that line grad
ually increasing until he employed an
average of 10 assistants. He closed
his mandatory in 1S47 and bought
200 acres of land in Yuma township
and built house of logs, and entered
upon the career of a pioneer agricIN-
turist. His family lived in the log
cabin until 1857, when Mr.. Maxwell
built a brick home. He continued the
management of his farm until 1862.
when he engaged in buying grain and
stock at Port Byron for shipment to
Chicago. In 1866 he bought stock
of general merchandise, and passed
five years in trade.
Buys Hotel Property.
In 1871 he bought the hotel property
known as the Port Byron house.
which he managed personally until
1881. In that year he rented the hotel.
and on Dec. 2, 1882, it was destroyed
by fire. He then made an addition to
the house. which he opened for a no
tel, calling the establishment by his
name. Ten years ago he retired from
the hotel business. Mr.. Maxwell was
married Feb. 1. 1912, TO Miss A. NJ.

Westmoreland county, Pa. and surviv-

veloped in a hay atmosphere and he
can scarcely comprehend their mean

| Illinois he can tell many interesting
stories.
Sullenger served in this war under
the name of PatilIo. his mother having
married a man of that name after the
death of James SulIenger. After the
war Sullenger returned to his home in
Gailatin county. and soon after. in
1885, removed to Hamilton county,
where he has resided continuously
ever since. He served as coroner for
more than half century. and was ac-
lively engaged in business until a few
years ago. when he retired from active
life He is a Master Mason and has

object of sections and S OF the state
constitution of 1870 would practically
remain unaffected, as each legislative
district would then become an indie
pendent battle-ground.
Old Object Is Not Attained.
The republicans argue thus: This
provision of the constitution was in
tended to provide for minority repre-
sentation. AS a matter of fact it does
not, as a political party in a heavy
majority in a senatorial district can
eject all three representatives as well
as the senator; while in districts
where the vote is close, parties will
not invite party quarrels and endanger
party success by nominating three
men where only two can be elected
under the provision that the candi-
dates highest in votes shall be declar-
ed elected" Therefore, would it not
be wise plan TO revert to the consti-
tuition of 1S4S. and follow the consti-
tutiOns of other states, by separating
the senatorial and assembly districts?
II is possible the matter may be
brought before the republican confer
ence this week. when the primary cleo
tons bill comes up for final polishing.
1t was stated emphatically that the
idea of passing a primary elections
bill would not be abandoned. no mat
ter with what degree of favor this sug-
gestion might meet. The primary
elections bill will be shaped accord
ing TO the wishes of a majority of the
republicans, and then it viii be made
party measure by caucus action and
passed.
Hitch I'm the Bill.
Representative Pierson of Cook
raised this point. which has caused
more trouble in conference than any
other section of the bill: With three
representatives to be chosen by a sen
atorial convention, only one can get a
majority of the delegates, and those
delegates are bound to him. One can
didate may receive a clear majority
of the votes cast in a senatorial els
trict. which of course would give him
the nomination without the formality
of a ballot. But where two candidates
have a clear majority of the votes over
the other candidates. only one, the
candidate receiving the highest num-
Der of votes. providing it is major
ity vote can be declared nominated.
The other must go before the cOnven-
ton and take his chances, notwith-
standing the fact that he may have
had what otherwise would have been
a majority of the votes, because an
other candidate may have captured
enough precinct delegations to give
him a majority of the delegates.
Mr.. Trautmann said he thought the |
best solution of the problem was TO |
provide that where two candidates re-
ceive majority over other candi- |
dates. those two candidates shall be
declared nominated. and it is prob |
able that he will offer this as an |
when the conference
meets Tuesday.

with the country and climate of Sou

one gentleman who said that he had
travelled all over this country. Can

of no place to compare with the Pc

live. and at the same time to make
money.
This conversation is but typical of
many that take place in h Club

in Roswell The climate, resources
and general characteristics of the
Valley are invariably compared to
those Of other better known sections
of the country, and the result is al
ways favorable to the Pecos Valley.
