Friends OF Richard Yates have adj
vised him that unless Gov. Deneen
will enter into an agreement with him
which will include the entire state ami
which win carry with it the graran-
tee that the Cook county organization
will be with him, it is useless for
Yates TO announce his candidacy
This is said to be the view taken
by Yates himself Unless he can be
assured Of the support or Cook county
he is not likely to be in the senator
lal race.
The statement of such Cook county
managers as James Pease that the
names of all candidates shall be placed
on the ballot with one set of delegates
and that the latter be instructed in
accordance with the popular vote Is
ridiculed by the friends Of Yates
No half way measures will TO- they

either has to be with Yates or against
him; that the Yates faction in the
state will be with the governor OF with
Cullom, just as the governor sees fit
to act in the matter.
They are prepared to assert, in case
the Cook county organization will not
work for Yates, that Deneen and his
Chicago friends have broken their
agreement with the former governor,
charge them with ireachery, and de
part FOR the federal wing of the party.
Officeholders With Deneen.
They do no expect to carry with
them the Yates men who are office
holders under Deneen, but they assert
that every Yates colony not influenced
BY state appointments will be enrolled
with Cul1om as soon as Deneen has
made it certain that Yates cannot get
support in Chicago. Furthermore,
they assert that this edement will be-
against Deneen for denomination amt
with Senator Hopkins when his turn
To be worried comes around

governor TO offer an agreement to aid
Yates outside of Cook county and
leave him to fight his own way against

will not be q candidate.

their asserts and obligations and de-
