dens of the marshes. and barons was
held In Chicago. Others are being |
held in other parts Of the state. and
something like declaration OF prin- i
ciples is expected ar the state fair
now opened at Springfield. says yes
terdays Chicago Tribune.
Both ethical and practical issues
are joined in the question. The head
of the state system, by virtue OF az
election a year ago Is Gov. Charles
s. Deneen. The late head OF the sys-
fem, by virtue of a convention held
the June previous, is ex-Goy. Richard
Yates. Ninety-nine out of hundref
Of the high lord constables, wardens,
barons. and earls in the feudal sys
tenn are of The Yates enrolment. They
have been retained under Deneen.
Now they are asking themselves and
each other where they belong. De
mems ways do not seem to be Yates
ways altogether. The subordinate
chiefs of the feudal system are making
their own choice.
The overlords of the fief in La Sale
street. known outside the system as
the state railroad and warehouse com
mission, and its dependent fee. the
state grain office, considered the ques-
ton gravely yesterday, having been
summoned to discuss it
BY the time all the fiefhohers, with
their henchmen, have assembled az
Springfield this week 1t Is expected
minds whether Deneen gets their al.
legiance or il goes to Yates.
Their discussion Is based on sever
al assumptions One is that Yates will
not be candidates for the senate
In thar case the officeholders must de-
eide whether or not they will have a
ma" with the governor If they de-
eide to have mad they may con
VINCE Mr.. Yates that he, too, should
have a mad and then there will be
split up
Then there Is the possibility that Mr
Yates and seme OF his subordinate
having decided to 4have mad. 7 viii
20 and establish a feudal system d
their own Or. again they may ioir
the rival system, tine Illinois fedora
system.
There Is also the assumption tina
MIR. Yates, in spite Of probabilities
will decide TO accept Gov Dareen'
proposition That viii simplify thing
for his subordinates and retainers.
Whatever is to be the outcome Of tn
situation, Railroad and Warehous
Commissioners a. L. French an
James Neville and Grain Tnspecto
Scott Cowen decided that il was tim
to have serious conversation regardin
the matter and had 1t in the after
noon.
1t seems practically certain tina
most of uhe Yates officeh0lders vii
go with Deneen in case they come I
parting of the ways.
In spite of the hostile attitude {
the federal party In Chicago. Go
Deneen still Is proceeding to carry OF
his plan Of giving the state patronag
to the county organizations. At lea
one exception will be made to tn
rule. The Eleventh district, Congress
man Snaps. is to be given "speci
treatment" but IL Is likely that mo
OF the other congressional distric
VIII be treated impartially Il
time being at least.
In carrying out this plan the go
ernor will even 80 so rar as to recc
nize some pronounced Cullom M
who are certain to be against him
the fight. This will be done in cas-
where II Is recognized as the pla
duty OF the men to be with Cullom.
The Eleventh district Is the hor
of Senator A. j. Hopkins. II has 70
state institutions-the Joliet penite
tiary, the Elgin asylum. the Scht
for Girls at Geneva, and the st CHI
les school. The anti.Snapp and al
Hopkins faction In the party has be
growing stronger, Is backed by hea
financial interests, and is expected
be strengthened by the state appoi
rnents Nothing viii be done VIII

and about everything that can
done to weaken IT will be done.
Already a candidate for congr
against Snapp has been brought (
and the special treatment dssigl
for the district will help this OF
siiion candidacy along.
