Both have entered the race at the So
licitation of their friends, and neither
is seeking reward for political serv-
ices. In this they stand before the
people. in marked contrast to the nom
inee Of the republican party for the
offices in question.
Mr.. Reynolds is one of the best
known members of the Rock Island
county bar. He is lawyer of tested
ability and his popularity was demon
Strated year ago last spring when
ne ran well ahead of his ticket for

strong man. With conditions radically
different in this race, his election is

by actual practice, for the walls of the
circuit room have never resounded
with his voice in tue actual pleading
of case
DR.. O'Hern. as in the case of Mr.
Reynolds, has all the qualifications
necessary for the Office he has been
nominated for. Most important of all,
he is physician. In some states the
law requires that the coroner be a
physician, and there are many rea-
SONS why a member of the profession
should be elected to the position here.
At the same time there are equally
patent reasons why an undertaken
should not be coroner, ana this is said
without any personal disparagement OF
Mr. Rose. who is running on the re.
publican ticket for the Office.
The voters of Rock Island are be.
coming more and more convinced day
by day that Mr.. Reynolds is the right
man for states attorney and DR.
O'Hern the right man for coroner.

The low stage of the river has made
it advisable for the Elks to postpone
the date of their celebration of the

taken place tomorrow. 1t was planned
to go on a steamer to Peterson's island
and to take boat ride on the river
there, but as the water is too low
that even the landing on the island
would be dangerous. it was decided
to hold the picnic at later date.
