Republican City and County
Committees All to Co.
operate Here.
DIVIDE THE CONTRIBUTIONS
City Organization Votes One Way and
Then Members Charge Minds
Harmony Is Distant.

Discussions in the republican ranks
are now becoming prominent as fea-
lures of the congressional campaign.
1t seems that the city committee first
voted to cooperate with the county
committee in running the Mckinney
campaign, and then certain members
changed their minds and decided that
they would rather fight the county
committee, and SO at the next meeting
the action was rescinded.
split the Funds.
Those who are soliciting for funds
are meeting with opposition as many
of the contributors refuse 70 give any
thing 10 the city committee. preferring
TO put their money in the hands of the
county organization. Rock Island is
one of the few cities where the city
committee attempts to take charge OF
every campaign that comes along.

county. state or congressional candi-
lates. Probably that grew out of the
fact that for a long time there were
only two county committeeman in each

Rock Island and Moline has a member
Of the county committee. and some of
-hese committeeman propose to have
something TO do with the campaign.
Committeeman Resign.
Being dissatisfied with the manner
n which Chairman Witter of the city
committee was running things. two of
he committeeman resigned. They are

the Seventh ward. 1t is reported that
l suggestion was made by some of the
Seventh ward people that the aldermen
ne consulted upon the appointment of
he new members from the two pre-
;incts without representation. but that
his was not done. The persons named
o fill the vacancy are Roy Schofer and
Herman Doerring. In the Fourth ward
John a. Reed was named to fill the va
