per cent of the steel workers are OPP
emily for Bryan and that the remainder
are lowering between their principles
and the fear of losing their jobs.
; Almost every republican force in the
state has been concentrated ON Gary,
as it is realized that this portion of the
state is the one which will carry In
diana for Bryan. Republican workers
and organizers have taken up head
quarters in the new steel city and car

the pool was made some four years

CAMPAIGN CHAT

Another big democratic meeting at
the rink Saturday night.
White and Vollmer made a happy
combination. They represent both
ends of the reunited democracy.
James H. Bowman, former president
of the Chicago Federation of Labor,
speaks at the rink Saturday night.
r. R. Reynolds is an ideal man for
the Office of states attorney. He seeks
to serve the people, not to command
them. He is willing that they shall fix
his compensation and is not dissatis-
fled with their judgment Compare his
attitude with that of L. NJ. Magill.
The democratic meetings everywhere
in the county are being attended by
large and interested audiences. The
republican gatherings, addressed in
variably by candidates for office, are
as rule made up principally of those
holding Office.

DR.. NJ. J. O'Hern is gaining every

eral and Rock Island in particular the
advantage of the service of man who
understands and is capable of repre-
senting the sentiments of the people.
NJ. j. McEniry is Rock Island coun
| ty man, not for the sake of gaining the
votes of the people of the county, bu
by reason of the fact that his interests
have always been interviewer witt
those of the community. If he has
been capable of accomplishing SO much

would he be able to do as a congress

FAIRPoRT DEPOT DESTROYED
Rock Island Station Burns During
Night, Total Loss Resulting.


The c., R. l. & P. railroad station at
Fairport, Iowa, was entirely destroyed
by fire Tuesday night. The place has
no fire protection, and when first dis
covered the flames had gained such
Roadway that there was no possibility
of checking their advance. The fire
was first noticed at about 2 o'clock by
John Scheilhorn, who was one of the
Fwatchmen at the pottery kiln, looking
after the nights firing. He called help
and aroused people residing near, but
nothing could be done. The building
sheltered passenger and freight traffic
for Fairport, and had been recently
painted. 1t was used by both the Rock
Island and Milwaukee lines The day
operator, B. J. Carsens, lost about 500
in clothing and personal effects in his
, office. The tracks were in no way
damaged and no delay of trains was
reported from the fire

Henry VolImer Speaks.

A crowd of fully 500 greeted the
at the rink last night and the adj
dresses of the Hon. John q. White of
the Chicago Typographical union and
former Mayor Henry Vollmer of Dav-
export were listened to with the same
close attention and seriousness which
has characterized all the democratic
meetings this year. 1t was a labor
ing mems meeting, the most pro.
nounced so OF any held during
the campaign. T. F. Wheelan,
a member of the executive committee
of the Tri-City Typographical union,
served in the capacity of chairman of
the evening and he introduced Mr..
White as his trade brother from Chi
cago, Mr. White gave the audience
two hours of good solid sense and
arguments on three of the most i'm
portant issues of the campaign, the
injunction, tariff planks and publicity
of campaign funds.
Mr.. White quoted Thomas Jefferson
in regard to the fact that the execu-
tive power is the one most to be feared
people of the country are awakening
to the fact and that many lifelong re-
publicans will vote against Taft this
election because they believe that thu
republican party is becoming auto
cratic.
Cites Taft's Own Acts.
One of the glaring Instances of this
assumption of power lies in the writ
of injunction as fathered by Mr. Taft
who has more than once taken away
the right of free speech from those
enjoined. Mr.. White showed clearly
how the constitution provides for hold
ing man responsible for what he
says and does but that no where is
the right to do or talk as he likes
abridged. The writ of injunction
however. stops a man from saying
what he pleases or doing as he
pleases. For instance, one of Taft'a
injunctions ordered a certain class o.
men who were asking for more wages
to refrain from seeking to persuade
others to aid them by a sympathetic
strike, thus clearly taking away the
right of free speech. Mr.. White sale
that he fears a man who can place
him behind the bars on a writ of in
junction when the law gives only t.
jury the right OF imprisonment HI,
arguments showed clearly how the i'll
junction may take away all the right
of the American citizen
Illustration Is Good.
The campaign funds were mex
taken up and the issue discussed. Nj
White likened the attitude of the tw,
parties to. that of two men about t.
enter ring for fight. One elaine,
that one of the men carried a knit

up and said he did not and that h
would like to be searched to prove il
The other man then spoke up an
also disclaimed the possession of
knife and asked to be searched alsc
but not until after the fight. Tha
shows exactly how the matter stand
according to Mr.. White. The demo
cratic party wants to be searched nov
as it feels able to prove that it ha
no connections of which it is ASHAMED
The republican party will not subm
