OPEN SLIGHT IS RESENTED
Hopkins and Mckinney Get in Ac-
ton for the Present LegisIa-
tive Members.

Interest has been added to the quar-
rel in the republican ranks over the
nomination for state representative
from this district by the action of the
chairman of the senatorial committee,
j. W. Simonson of Port Byron. It
seems that at the time of the last
meeting of the committee in Rock Is
land, Mr.. Simonson sent invitations
to Senator Landee, Representative
Thomas Campbell and Representative
Frank e. Abbey of Biggsville, asking
them to be present. The session was
held for the purpose of determining
the number of republican candidates
to be nominated, and naturally was
OF equal interest to all candidates, but
it appears that Mr.. Simonson neglect
Cd to notify l.. b. Strayer of South

whom are seeking the nomination in

The unlimited, however, learned OF
the meeting, and made it a point to
be present, and demanded an explana-
ton of the slight given them. They
chanse that Mr. Campbell and Mr..
Abbey are being benefited by ring.
and that there is a combination of
the bosses of the party for the pur-
pose of assisting the two men to Sc
cure denomination. Mr.. Simopson Of
fered the explanation that the men to
whom he sent invitations had request
ed that he notify them, and in reply
those who were sighted maintain that
even in this case no discrimination
should have been shown.
A Machine Trick.
1t is said that the quarrel has be-
come so bitter that the aid of Con-
gresham Mckinney and Senator Hop
kins has been enlisted by the Camp
bell-Abbey faction and that the wheels
of the entire republican machine have
been set in motion in their behalf.

Republican and Democratic camps.
The mayoralty fight has awakened
the greatest interest In Detroit. May.
or Thompson's supporters are giving
odds on his election. They claim TO
have the strongest organizations for
work at the polls that the party ever
had. All effort has been saved up for
the final days.
On the other hand. Breitmeyer men
point to the big normal Republican
majority, to the big German vote and
to the impressive demonstration OF
Saturday night as proof Of their
strength.
The liquor question cuts into the
mayoralty fight In two ways, both to
the advantage Of Mayor Thompson. 1t
Is conceded that the candidacy OF DR..
Lowther has drawn away a great num-
Der Of votes from the Republican
ticket. On the other hand, the liquor
interests are understood to be rather
more favorable to Thompson than to
Breitmeyer.
Betting Is growing heavier as cleo
ton draws near. While the Thomp.
son men offered 800 against $50 OF
Breitmeyer money a few days ago. the
odds Shifted to 500 to $50 Saturday.
