Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1908-04-14


The said at has been said by men.
who ought to know that Roosevelt
| himself is the only candidate the re-
lpublicans ean nominate who can de-
feat Bryan While the speaker was
disposed to take issue with that state
ment, believing that not even ,Roose-
welt can turn the trick. he thought
the sentiment was worth repeating.
Especially since it had been printed
in the republican press.
Referring to local conditions, Mr..
PlaptZ said Rock Island county is
now about TO select delegates to the
state democratic convention. hope
that you see to it that those delegates
stand ready TO do their utmost to take
the organization of the party In ILL
nois out OF Chicago. Till this is done
lii is useless to hope for success in
this state. For years Chicago has had
control of the party's affairs and there
has been constant strife. Authority
must be taken from the hands of men
with special interests to serve.
Ex-Governor Yates was responsible
for the nomination of Governor De-
neen and the latter during his admin
istration has paid his obligations.
Now. however, Yates is out with a
knife for Deneen and the latter is
going about telling how fearfully rot
ten the formers administration really
was. BY the time these two get
hn n
elect good clean, democratic gov
ernor and will do so provided the
delegates to the coming state con-
yention take their stand on the side
| of the people and insist on taking the
reins of party government out of Chi
cago"

w. C. Maucker, chairman of the
county committee. presided as toast,
master and introduced the speakers

Der was a song by. the Arion quartet
composed of Ora c. Hickman. first
tenor; Arthur Jonassen, second tenor;
IL. G. Hazard, baritone, and w. f..
| CaulDetZer, basso. So pleasing was
| the first rendition that an encore was
insisted upon. At the close of Mr..
Stringers address the quartet was
| again called upon and at the close OF
1.-THE program the organization led the
assembly in the singing of America.
| The speakers were frequently inter
Irupted with applause. not the least en-
thusiastic demonstrations attending the
| declaration of Mr.. PlantZ for more
Representative state organization as
far as the democracy of the entire
state is concerned.
