Local Politics.
PLENTY OF GOOD MATERIAL

terfuge Will Go This
Year.

Both the incentive and the inspira-
tion for a peoples or citizens move
ment in local municipal affairs having
developed as spoken of extensively in
The Argus last Saturday. the events
of the week intervening have served
to show that all that is necessary to
put the campaign into full swing is an
initiative. There is an abiding convic-

Candidates Discussed.
The candidates mentioned a week
ago have been more or less discussed
during the past week. as have others
in the same connection. all of the fol-
lowing names having been suggested
as composing a suitable list from
which a leader might be chosen: w. b.
Mcintyre. c. S. Mcdaniel. Fl. II.
Cleaveland. c. b. Marshall. James Nc
Namara, H. c. Schaffer. w. A. Rosen-

w. Bahnsen.
No Farce This Time.
While The Argus for its own part is
quite willing to abide the time for ac-
ton by the democratic party before de
filming its own position, it is frank TO
say that there have been candidates
mentioned in connection with the nom
nation at the hands of both old parties
whose selection would mean nothing
better than the continuation in power
of the present abominable regime.
Plenty of Good Men in Both Parties.
There are plenty of good and worthy
and representative men in both parties
whose selection even at the hands of
their respective parties would no doubt
command the support of the great
mass of the people of Rock Island re-
CARELESS of party for citizens generally
