THE DISCUSSION OVER
Mr.. BEARS NOMINATION
The Eleventh Hour AIdermanic Can.
ddacy in the Fourth.
Ward,

The mere fact that The Argus IN
connection with the story of Tuesdays
primaries. made incidental reference
had arisen as to the validity of the
republican aldermanic nomination of
Jonas Bear in the Fourth ward ow-
ing to the manner in which his
name was placed upon the primary
ballot occasions the Union a fit
of uneasineSS even at this early
stage of the campaign. In its
issue of yesterday, after allowing that
Mr.. Bear is reluctant to be drawn into
newspaper controversy, it makes
haste to say that the law bearing on
the subject appears to be quite plain
and some of the leading lawyers in
the city of Rock Island have given it
as their opinion that Mr.. Bears nom-
ination is in strict conformity with its
provisions. 1t is true that Mr. Bear
gave his consent to accept the nomi-
nation only II hours before the pri-
mary election Following which the
Union proceeds to give Mr.. Bear
neat little Sendoff. While it is natural
that the Union should do this and 1t is
unnecessary to say that the question
of Mr.. Bears worth as citizen is not
involved. there is perhaps as sound
legal advice on the side of those who
question the validity of the nomination
under the strict Interpretation of the
primary law, as there is in support OF
| the regularity of his nomination. Since
however, the subject has been switch.
ed to the discussion of respective can
didates, it may without the least dis
paragement either of Mr.. Bear or of
his political aspirants, be said. that
the delay in the making of repub
lican nomination for alderman in the
Fourth ward, was due to the generally
existing popular satisfaction with the
services of Alderman Henry j. Frics,
who is standing for reelection. Mr..
F'rick has discharged his duties in a
spirit of non-partisan fairness and has
made such an all around good alder
man, that in the rank and file of all
parties in the ward there was on dis
position to oppose his return to- the
council until Phil Miller, the ward
boss. present deputy sheriff and for
mer chief of police. got busy and STIR
red the feeling that eventuated in fill
ing out of the ticket SO late in the
Eleventh, hour as to give rise to the
question of validity of the proceeding
| No one who knows Mr. Bear would
expect him to desire the nomination
lif it is found to be irregular, but
the greatest cause for suspicion that it
may not be regular is. to be found IN
the hurried attempt to stop the. mera
suggestion of the discussion of the
matter.

that representatives OF, at least one
