WAS TAME AFFAIR
Congressman Foss Avoids Men.
ton of Senator Hopkins in
Discussing His candidacy,
BUT ciRCuLA1Es PAPERS
Articles Critcizing Present incumbent
Distributed - Speech Is on
General Issues.

Congressman George Edmund Foss
of Evanston addressed Rock Island
people on Market square Saturday
night in the interests of his candidacy
for United States senator. His adj
dress followed an informal reception
at the Harper house, where he regis
tered after concluding his address in
Moline on Third avenue and Fifteenth
street
Contrary to expectations, Mr.. Foss
in his address, did not take occasion
to discuss the career of Senator A. J.
Hopkins, whom he seeks to succeed,
but his address was entirely on gen
eral political issues. He did state
that he demands that the voters know
his record before election, and that
they also know the record of Senator
Hopkins. While he, was in the city
there were circulated copies of the
Weekly Crisis, an Illinois Federation
of Labor paper published in Chicago,
containing parts of two articles about
Hopkins published in Golfers under
the heading of Senate Undesirables. =
These articles are strong criticisms of
Hopkins, and make admirable cam
raign material for Congressman Foss,
although he did not discuss them him
self. They were distributed generally
in Rock Island and Moline.
On Local Interests.
Congressman Foss in opening his
remarks referred to the fact that while
he has never been in the city before,
he has been interestd in Rock Island
institutions in an official way. and he
told of his efforts for the Illinois naval
reserves and for Rock Island arsenal.
