FIGHT ON BOSSES
starts Trouble in the Camps OF
the Republican
Party.
OF THE EFFECT
Believe MagilI Has the Ammunition to
Fire IF He Chooses-Opposi-
ton Candidates.

Considerable gossip was started
among republican politicians by the
announcement made last evening by
Hon. l.. NJ. Magill. of his candidacy for
ing been brought out more particularly
by the campaign he has entered upon
against the bosses of this county and
the state of Illinois. Such campaign
would, of course, prove of considerable
interest to the public, especially SO to
those who have not been in touch with
the inside workings of the political ma
chimes of the republican party in Rock
Island county.
None deny Mr.. Magills ability to eX-
pose the political deals of the past if
he chooses so 10 do, but the politicians
and Office holders who were interview
ed today upon the question were APP
parently not in sympathy with Mr. Ma
gill's plan of campaign. The sentiment
seems to be that Mr.. Magill trained too
long with the people he now promises
to expose to make his revelations carry
tear others down. but the question is as
to whether the effect will be to build
himself up. One politician suggested
that Larry must have heard the advice
of the elder lawyer to the younger, IF
you have no case. abuse the other
side" Following are some of the COM
ments that were made by republicans
conVerSed with today:
What They Say.
at sounds like a death bed wall"
TOO late
Its an excellent platform he's set
forth, but somebody else ought to stand
on it,
IF Mr.. Magill had entered politics
with this platform it would be differ
ent. He has been with the machine
too long"
There is no question of his ability
to show up party corruption if he
wants to-
That there is plenty of powder and
shot on hand for several rounds of fir
ing of this kind there is more or less
speculation as TO how far the gun that
carries the charge will kick back.
Other Candidates.
When it was learned that Senator
McCabe would not be a candidate for
the senatorship at once be,
came an issue and activities in this di-
rection have long been in evidence. Mr..
Magill was the first to enter the field
and following him was Mr.. Landee of
Moline. who is to receive the support
of the bosses and that is to be shown
up by Mr.. Magill. Whether the Rock
Island contingent that would logically
oppose Mr.. Landee, will turn TO Mr..
Magill or whether it will bring out a
candidate of its own has not been de-
cided. There has been some talk of b.
Frank Knox receiving the support of
this portion of the party. but no an
nouncement of his candidacy has been
made.

Whice there is something that might
be credited to citizens of this county if

Or less crude the following taken from
a paper coming to this Office last week
is so far fetched that it is really funny:
Senator Nelson is said to be in re-

requests from a constituent near Sleepy
Eye who wrote: "When you got to the

catchy as some that have been sung
still they are produced with real merit
and catch the audience and the play
itself is composite of military come
dy and love that is strangely fascinat-
ing and enjoy able above the average.
In the choruses may be seen the revi-
val of many of the old-time songs and
particularly the southern melodies and
they are so interviewer with the opera
that it is interesting to follow them
through. There was not very large
house Sunday evening but the people
who were there were thoroughly appre-
,ciative and the company appeared to
enjoy the encores they received. The
scenery is very elaborate and so ma.
tural is the moonlight scene on the
river that one is almost Iured into be.
lieving that there is real water flowing
from the rear of the stage. About the
only criticism that can be made of il
is that the young ladies are not entire
ly familiar with the handling of the
hoop skirts and crinoline.
