to take baskets along and spend the
time there picking wild blackberries
which grow there in great quantities.
The 'Grotto" will soon be a regular
picnic resort when its beauties come

old residents went down on the last
, trip, and they were amazed to find
how much like the old days the place
has remained. While the river has
been undergoing improvements for a
number of years at the expense of the
scenery along the banks the 'Grotto'
| has suffered very little because it is
enough removed from the main chan

necessary. That fact accounts for its
being at present one of the prettiest

MAKES A PROTEST
L. 3. Strayer Claims Endorse
ments of Anti-Saloon League
Are Far From Fair.
SAYS IT'S MACHINE WORK
Peculiar Thing Is That Brewers En-
dorse the Same Men-Contest
Grows More Bitter.

The ire of number of the candi-
dates for nomination for state repre-
sentative is aroused over the action of
the anti-saloon league forces in endors-
ing certain candidates. In the republi
can ranks particularly the charge is
freely made that republican machine
politics is responsible for the endorse
ment of Mr. Campbell and Mr. Abbey
l.. b. Strayer of South Rock Island
makes a vigorous protest, claiming
that he has been unfairly treated in
the matter. He terms himself a local
option republican, but not prohibit
zionist. He claims that he has a tenn
perance record of so years that can not
be surpassed by any of the other can
didates, even those given the endorse
ment. Mr.. Strayer also takes occasion
in public letter to criticise the activ-
ity of certain Rock Island churches in
politics, stating that two of these par
+ticularly benefited greatly as a result
of his efforts in bringing the Farmers
National congress here, and that one
Melted $1,70O as a result. He claims
that since his temperance record is
clean, and he has been of service to
these churches, they should not take
it on themselves to assist the republic
can machine in the fight to nominate
Campbell
Here's Something Strange.
Another incident which seems par
adoX rather difficult of explanation is
the fact that, in addition to having
been endorsed by the Anti-Saloon
league, Campbell and Abbey have been
given the endorsement of the Manufac-
turers' association, which is, as is gen
orally known. nothing more than the
brewers organization of the state To
a man up a tree it would seem that
Campbell and Abbey have been playing
both sides of the game. How the vot-
Iers will look on these conflicting en-
ldorsements remains to be seen.
The closing week of the campaign
before the primary promises some very
interesting developments in the repub-
lican ranks. There are five candidates
for the omination-Thomas Campbell,
Frank E. Abbey, c. F. GAZETTEER, L. B.
Strayer and Charles A. Clarke.

years ago and to satisfy myself l
borrowed my neighbors single disc
