committee for that purpose had pre-
pared. This committee is to have
copies of the constitution sent to the
soon as possible, and another meeting
will then be called TO consider the &C
ceptance of the constitution as sub
mitted 10 the convention.
Republicans Are Sore.
Instead of proving a step toward til,
'get-together" plan so much talked of
the republican convention yesterda,
aroused more i'll feeling than any part,
action in months. The greatest com
plant is over the failure to recognize
the First, Second, Third and Seventl
wards in making up the delegation t
the state convention. Even in the BIZ
ter Yates-Lowden aght all wards wer
recognized In this instance the neN
Chairman, DR. DeSilva, w. A. Roser
field and F. o. Van Calder were a
named from the Fourth ward: B. I
Knox and Captain Mcdonald, both q
the Fifth, were put on the list, and tn
Sixth was given two places on the de
legation, filled by p. w. Schoede an
Judge Olmsted. And the leaders i
the other wards are fighting mad owe
the slight given them.
The appointment of George W. Johl
son as one of the Moline members {
the executive committee, when ne a
ready was a member of that commi
tee by virtue of his Office as secretar
adds to the i'll feeling. at looks {
though Dr. DeSilva could trust no Oh
else in Moline" said one of the cor
mitteemen.
The situation is in marked contra
to that in the democratic party.
