A similar contest was waged in the demo-
cratic state convention of 1896. which was
held at Aberdeen. The gold democrats and
the convention, both seeking to secure control
Of the gathering. A majority Of the members Of
the democratic state central committee de-
cided in favor of s. A. Ramsey of Woonsocket
for temporary chairman of the convention and
he was recommended for the place.
Mr.. Ramsey was the candidate Of the gold
standard wing Of the party. The. free silver
democrats objected to his selection and nomi-
mated w. A. Lynch Of Huron as a free silver
candidate for election as temporary chairman.
A ballot was taken and after hot fight Mr..
Ramsey declared to have received a major
ity OF the votes and duly Installed as
temporary chairman
Thus in the event that Chairman Crane Sc
lects stalwart republican for temporary
chairman of the state convention next week,

toned basis for proposing and electing a
temporary chairman from their own faction.

Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1906-04-02

1t is apparent that the Rock Island
city council as body and without ex-
ception has at last lost all patience
with the antics of the present infant in
the mayors chair. The aldermen have
been long suffering. but forbearance
has at last ceased to be a virtue. Self
respect has asserted itself with the
aldermen, and Saturday night, when
they assembled pursuant to the call to
consider sewer improvements, they
were found then not only incensed over
the disgraceful conduct of the day be-
fore, but in no frame of mind to listen
to anything more on the theory OF
lacking the fraudulent Twenty-fourth
street ditch onto so worthy an enter
prise as the southwest storm drain, as
the mayor had proposed. The conse-
quence was that the councilmen simply
departed for their several homes by
common consent, and left the strong
military arm of the city alone with his
adjutant of justice-of-the-peace
gun distinction.

Misrepresentation by heavy shippers
with the object of securing fraudu-

companies claim that their losses
amount TO hundreds of thousands OF
dollars, and that through the employ

be able to prove systematic and con-
tinuous swindling

line. 1t has applied for incorporation
papers and has capital of $4,000.
The other members of the company are
S. NJ Campbell, c. c. Campbell, and
II. j. Churchill of Rock Island. The
company is to do general foreign
and domestic advertising and CORE
spondence business. During the trip
Messrs. Holt and Creutz will write let
tiers for a syndicate of American news
papers which is now being organized,
contracts for advertising business in
situations. The company will also rep
resent the advertising interests of n
large number of American trade pub
LEGATIONS in this portion of the Missis-
sippi valley. A large number of news
papers and periodicals have already ar
ranged for the use of the letters TO be
written by the Moline men during their
correspondence trip.

The accompanying illustration show.
ing the itinerary which will be pursued
by the two Moline men. Lester r
Creutz and George E. Holt. on thei.
around-the-world bicycle trip, upon
which they are planning to depart in
June. They will sail from New YOr,;
for Liverpool, England, about the mid
die OF June. and after few days in
the famous English shipping poin:
their bicycle trip will begin. Because
of the lateness of the season it is
probable that motor cycles viii be
used throughout Europe. so that St.
Petersburg, Russia, may be reached
before the setting in of winter. and to
enable the tourists to make the 1000
mile trip from St. Petersburg to
France before the new year.

1t is expected that New Years day
will see them at Algeria. in Africa,

entirely govern this trip. Mohamme-
dan fanatics are now busily engaged
in quiet but deadly hunt for the white
men in Morocco. These conditions
may change, however, before the first
of next year. From Tunis the tour
lists will go by boat to the island of
Sicily, and after passing across the is
land will begin their wheel northwa1d
through Italy. visiting such interesting
points as Vesuvius, Pompeii, Hercula-
neum, the Eternal City" Naples, Ven
ice, Florence, Genoa, TO Switzerland;
thence their itinerary will lead them
eastward to Vienna, in Austria; thence
south through Austria and the Balkan
states, Roumania, Servia, Bulgaria. and
Turkey, to Greece. After some of the
wonders of the ancient Greeks civil

written up, the travellers will sail to
the land of the pyramids and will
ascend the Nile as far as is feasible,
