June Is, was continued here today.
ination of Mrs. Beale, the witness who
was called yesterday and who testified
then that she had left her baby near
the carriage when she escaped from
Dora Chipp.
The District Attorney introduced as
evidence the blood stained lace cap
worn by the child on the day it was
murdered. Mrs. Beale testified that
the bullet holes in the cap were not
there when she left the child. She
also testified that when she last saw
her child the little one was standing
up between herself and the buggy.
When asked whether she had ever
had trouble with Dora Chipp before
Mrs. Beale replied that about two
months before the murder she had
horse trade. Mrs. Beale then averred
that ten days later Dora Chipp, dis
satisfied with the trade, appeared at
her house and wanted to trade back. "
Mrs. Beale was not willing to trade
back" and Dora declared that she
would take the horse back any way and
started to carry her threat into execu-
ton. but was stopped by Beale, who
told her to go home. She departed and
returned the next day with her brother
and the horses were traded back.
Mrs. Beale could not identify re-
volver, which was supposed to be the
one which Dora Chipp had fired at hel
on another occasion.
Upon cross-examination Mrs. Bealt
testified that Dora Chipp had worked
for her at one time. She also testified
that when thes horse trade began tc
look interesting she had gone to the
house and loaded a revolver.
Amos Richardson. who found the
body of the Beale child, testified as tt
the finding of the body, saying that g.
soon as he discovered it he notified the

skeleton of a giant horse has been dis

found in the Wyoming fossil beds.
This skeleton is thirty feet long and
fully as tall and is in excellent state of
preservation. 1t was an herbiverous
animal and the Jaw bone displays pow

The Independent Sentiment in Poll
tics.

significant phase of yesterday s
election, as shown not only on the bat
tie ground where the political struggle
was waged which attracted the eyes of
the nation, but right here in Rock Is
land county, was the emphatic crys-
utilization of the Independent sentiment
in politics which has been developing
during the past few years. This senti-
ment, by the way, is not subservieLt to
the personal ambition of any particular
man, or clique of men. nor yet to any
organization of a political nature. 1t
is the assertion of an Individual pOliti-
cal thought
1t is the manifestation of the deter
mination of the electOr to do his own
thinking and voting regardless of pO-
litical utilization or dictation. 1t is the
voicing of purpose not to be moved by
partisan bias or the claims of the am
bilious candidate.
No more clearly was this shown than
in New York state. where party lines
were obliterated. The people judged
for themselves. Right here in Rock Is
land county this same spirit was mani
fest, although it was not, in the truest
sense, successful. The sentiment of
the mass of the voters of the county, in
a representative and general sense. was
Enthusiastically for Cornelius Donovan
for sheriff. although this purpose was
thwarted by the spirit of bias and local
feeling exerted in Moline, where the
home man idea rolled up d tremendous
vote for Edward Kittilsen that offset
the results in Rock Island and the
county at large. This same disposition
figured in the county clerkship race of
Frank Gustafson against H. B. Hub
bard The application of the party lash
in Rock Island county succeeded in
the case of the candidacy of Pleasant
F. Cox. who is elected treasurer over
John Schafer.
The assertion of independent thought
in politics is healthy sign where it
aims at abuses and corruption in party
domination or the one man idea in any
field of politics Where this spirit rep
resenfs the sovereign expression of the
people against machine politics or self
made candidacy, the tendency is in the
right direction, and if it proves more
pronounced with succeeding elections
1t will insure cleaner party politics, the
disarming of the machine and the COM
pulsion of adherence to principle in the

Democratic Gains.

Not only right here at home in Rock
Island city and county, but throughout
| the country have the democrats made
notable gains as the outcome of yes
congressman the democrats have ac-
cOmplished the most gratifying results,
the defeat of the republican house
leaders Congressman McCleary and
Babcock being among the most con
spicuous evidences of public rebuke of
the republican house In Minnesota
that stalwart democrat, Governor John
son, is triumphantly reelected, while
Iowa is on the threshold of again
choosing democratic governor. The
democrats are victorious in New York
state although the candidate who
headed the ticket. William Randolph
Hearst, has been defeated.
In Rock Island county the democrats
have made signal gains and a splendid
showing in a county whose normal re-
publican majority ranges in the thous-
ands The party has never presented
more ideal ticket. than offered in
Donovan. Schafer and Gustafson, and
the party has never been favored by a
better organization of more ably and
theoretically conducted campaign.
Donovan again proved his popularity
all over the county. carrying not only
Rock Island city by handsome ma
jority, for sheriff but running strong in
all outlying precincts with the eXcep-
ton of Moline where the home man feel
ing carried Kittilsen into office. Gust
afsOn made fine race for county
clerk. and Schafer swept the upper
end of the county for treasury showing
his immense popularity where he is
best known. For congress ID. w. Mat
thews made a plucky fight. and his
vote near home shows that his neigh
bors are proud of him. Everett H..
Werts is elected TO the legislature on
the straight democratic vote.
The democratic candidates have been
defeated, but the party, even in defeat,
is in better shape by reason of its
fight than it has been for years, and
will come up smiling the next time.

political organization and in the selec-
ton of candidates.
And out of it all will come a time
when the institution that represents
the people and selects men who are
worthy, will triumph, regardless of po-
litical bossism or prejudice. The man
will cease to nominate and boost him
|self The people will do the nominating
and the electing.
The Independent thought does not
contemplate the elimination of the two
great parties in the direction of Amer
lean politics. Two great political or
CARNATIONS are essential to the sue
cess of a republican form of govern
ment, and it is where one of these be-
comes an instrument for the refOrma-
ton of the other that the republic will
thrive. 1t is the very fact that there is
not room in this country for more than
two representative parties that the
rightly directed Independent movement
is sought to bring out. People owe al
legiance to political declarations and
principles, but where those principles
are merely sham, the party fostering
plStcilSS uGStINSS IGpuOild-
ton both by the people at large and
it's own members.
The fact cannot be gainsaid that in
this country at the present moment
President Roosevelt is popularizing
himself by the adoption of the very
principles and issues that have been
promulgated in democratic national
platforms for more than a quarter of
century, and not one of which has
been asserted by the republican party.
and yet President Roosevelt himself
has been so inconsistent as to ask for
the return of a republican congress
that he might have those principles
that he has taken unto himself enact
ed into law by a congress in political
sympathy with him. And notwith-
standing this. all that he has accom-
plished for good government SO far
has been the result of whipping Tepub-
lican congressman into line with the
democratic minority in the legislative
branch of the government.
The republican party is only strong
as Roosevelt party. and Roosevelt isl
only strong because he has put into
force democratic principles. If Roose
welt is not available 10 lead the repub-
lican party two years from now. his
party will cease to- -. and none realizes
this fact more l. n the republican
