JORDAN MAKES REPLY
TO FORMER STATEMENT
Apropos of His Course at keithsburg
and of His Attack Upon Brit
toms Character.

Moline. Aug. 23.-Editor Argus:
notice in your issue of Monday last an
editorial censuring me for my course
RS a delegate to the senatorial conven
ton. Kindly allow me TO state that
did not 'go back on Mr.. Britton in
that convention. Mr.. Britton from the
start recognized me as Looney dele
gate. l stood as a delegate in the
Third delegate district at the request
for the Legislature approached me to
stand. l am unable, therefore, to un-
derstand how | could honorably do
otherwise than vote for Mr.. Looney
after the first ballot
Mr.. Britton approached me on the
street in front of the Crystal theater
the day of the county convention, and
by his conversation at that time con-
coded me to be a Looney delegate af-
ter the first ballot, though soliciting me
to vote for him for a few ballots
gave him no promise to do this. So
there is no way in which | can be
truthfully charged with going back on
Britton in the convention.
Allow me further to say that never
was there an understanding, as some
have claimed, that | was to vote for
Werts as a final resort if the deadlock
had continued There was no such
understanding or plan whatever AS
the result of the Britton forces desert
ing the convention and going home,

EYE EXPERIENCE

the convention was left in control OF
the Werts people by a vote of II to l.
That is why Mr.. Werts got the nOmin-
alton / was at first inclined to agree
with the delegates who went home,
that their leaving would continue the
deadlock under the primary law, but
further consideration demonstrated to
me that they could go on and nominate
Werts with IL votes and defeat con
test if one were started. There is not
bit of doubt in my mind that the
courts would uphold Mr.. Werts' nom
ination as complying with the spirit OF
| the law. if he had been nominated by
| the votes of Mercer and Henderson
county delegations. and indeed the
prospect would hardly be such as to
| induce anyone to start contest. So
what was there to do but for Mr..
| Looney to withdraw as he did? That
was certainly the best thing to do I'M
der the circumstances.
But / can truthfully say that if the
Britton forces had remained in the
convention, the deadlock would have
continued and Mr.. Werts would not
of weakness that after voting only
about an hour some of the Britton del
egates began to get openly fretful
about going home. This could not fail
to consolidate the hopes of the Werts
following and cause them to hang on.
If the entire Rock Island county dele
cation had stuck doggedly TO their
knitting, it is my firm belief that in
few hours the convention would have
reached an agreement to let the state
committee select the nominee, and
have reason to believe he would have
been a Rock Island county man.
Your censure of me for telling my
reason for fearing Mr.. Britton would
not be a safe man to send to the leg
islature, is hardly fair. | would not
have written my letter to the Moline
papers telling the truth about Mr..
Britton's transactions had l not been
attacked in the press first AS yet Mr.
Britton has made no denial of the seri
Gus charges against him, which l feel
render him unfit to represent the peo-
pie in Springfield. If he can establish
his innocence of the acts ascribed 20
him while supervisor. | will be only
too happy to do him justice in public
statement. Your truly,
MYRON JORDAN.
The above somewhat tardy com
munication from Mr. Jordan does not
alter in the least the feeling current
throughout the Thirty-third district
that he betrayed his constituency
in the democrats who sent him to
the senatorial convention on the
strength of votes for Britton as |
against Looney, nor does it tend in the
least to prove that he has made good
in any of his charges against Mr.. Brit
toms character.
Under such circumstances there is
no occasion for Mr.. Britton's defend |
ing himself. The prompting that Mr..
Jordan had and the source of the allie
cation are too well known to require
any response on the part of the accus-
ed. Contempt is the best answer
Mr.. Jordan's attack upon Mr.. Britton
was as belated as his defense now, in
view of The Argus comments. But
The Argus denies no man the right of
rejoinder through its columns to any
thing that has been said therein to
which he may feel the right to take
exception
