which they furnished Justice Nissen:
Two fancy tub tables.
One table about eight feet long.
One long lunch table.
One domino table.
Thirty dice
Four thousand five hundred checks.
Does any person of ordinary powers
of reasoning doubt for an instant that
the articles mentioned in this writ
are anything other than gambling
tools?
Don't Expect to BE DfsIodged.
The point that The Argus has sought
to impress upon the public mind is
that the gambling fraternity entrench-
ed in the city of Rock Island does not
expect to be dislodged, and is waging
an open fight for its boosted rights"
The Argus fails to recall an instance
in the city of Rock Island where, in
former years, a gambler had the bold
ness to walk into a court of law and
seek by the aid of that court to re-
cover possession of a gambling layout
that had been confiscated by the
+
done that very thing. So have his
associates operating the Diamond and
the Turf gambling joints. The Rock
Island gambler of the present day is
not taking to cover as his predeces-
sors in the local field did when there
was a public movement for the sup
preston of their traffic. He has dig
nif1ed his calling by claiming that it is
licensed" He is standing his ground
despite that he is entitled to no con
sideration under the law. The profess
sionaI gambler, no matter his financial
rating, under the law is a vagrant.
Public Has Been Warned.
The Argus merely is seeking to keep
the public mind refreshed as to what
may be expected in the city of Rock
Island if the gamblers are permitted TO
retain their hold upon the authorities.
They are i'll the city, although tenn
porarily out of work. their tools be-
ing in storage in Davenport. and they
are making an open fight for their can
didate for sheriff.
The lawless element in Rock Island
is today putting up the most desper-
ate battle in the history of the com
munity. The gamblers are neither
democrats nor republicans. They are
sure thing fellows in politics as they
are in their nefarious business.

ONLY REQUIRES
LITTLE THOUGHT
The Average Voter May De-
termine Choice for Sheriff
by Influences at Work.
ONE ELEMENT ON ONE SIDE
Beside Significance in Alliances, All
Else Fades in the Com
parsons.

Common decency and respect for
law constitute the issue in the cleo,
ton of a sheriff of Rock Island county
aext Tuesday. There is no need for
the voter of average intelligence to
be deceived. The lines are plainly
drawn by the character of a certain
element that is supporting o. l.. Brun,
er. When the average citizen learns
the truth on this point he Will ask
no further questions
1t is not matter of parties. Meth
er is it one of the popularity of candi-
dates. Even the character of the men
running for office sinks to minor i'm
pOrtance when one becomes Convers
ant with the part that Phil Miller,
Dick Carnes and others of their ilk
are taking in the fight. 1t is not a
matter OF party principles with these
men. 1t means simply that they un,
derstand they are to be taken care OF
in the event of the success of their
candidate. 1t means that they expect
things to go on in the future as they
have for two or three years past.
OF Common knowledge.
What the conditions have been is
i matter of common knowledge. Rock
Island has been exploited and its name
dragged in the mire by one of the
worst organizations that has ever
promoted and fattened upon the vices
Of any modern city It's members
have been bold because they have had
assurance that they would not be mo
Tested from official sources. Their
true character has been exposed by the
events of the past few weeks so that
no one need be in doubt.
1t was to be expected that when
this gang realized that its power was
threatened it would resort to personal
abuse and misrepresentation and
would attempt to draw attention from
the real issue And some OF the sup
porters of Bruner are doing these
things. They are busily engaged in
peddling rumors calculated % infu-
ence those whom they may deceive,
varying their stories to suit tie class
es with which they are dealing.
But n Few Points.
As before stated, however, there is
no occasion for the voter to be nisled.
He need bear in mind but a few points.
He knows the conditions that have
prevailed.
He knows that these conditions
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1910-11-04

have been practically condoned in
certain official circles, including the
office of the present sheriff.
He knows that o. l.. Bruner is hold
ing the office of deputy sheriff under
an agreement made four years ago
an agreement that, taken in connec-
ton with other things, may be accept
ed as including continuation of the
same policies.
He knows that but one meaning is
to be drawn from the part that GER
tain law defying elements are taking
in this campaign
And, being aware of these things,
the voter need not be told his duty.

Curtailment of forces in the several

al money.
At a meeting of the finance commit
tee, held last evening at the city hall,

For instance, the police fund is suf-

on his ruling. "All there was before

that have already selected delegates
who favor the election of Congress
man Morehead for State Chairman is
constantly increasing and his friends
feel that his election is practically
certain.
The rank and file of the party,
the real soldiers, are out to win. New
recruits are welcomed and given the
right-hand of fellowship. Under the
wise and courageous leadership Of
the Fifth District Congressman there
can be little fear of the result. The

dismay to the Democrats as surely
as it already has to the "pie counter

DEMOCRATIC "KEYNOTE."

will appeal to practical politicians as
a clever utterance, but since it is
neither frank nor fair, it will not
appeal to the great body of Ameri-

mand square deal' even in the

Mr.. Clark not only deals in those
half truths which frequently are as
bad as falseh GODS, but deliberately
misquotes Chairman Payne in an eff
fort to be facetious. Nothing in the

I'm all probability the last

thousands of spectators. It was
2 a brutal combat, conducted un-
der conditions discreditable to
the civilization of the twentieth
century. Nevada is the only
State in the Union in which
prize fights to a finish are per-
mltted by law. The Governor
of California, yielding to an ir-
resistible public sentiment, re-
fused to allow Jeffries and john
son to fight in that State, and
q threatened to employ force to
prevent if one was atempted

been fought, and the negro
brute has whipped the white

the papers, bore all the ear marks
