& SUMMARY OF EVENTS &

I'm the first place, the Republican ranks are
rent with dscord and discussion The Insurgents
have come to stay. They are not fighting for
compromise, but contendng for mighty
principle and in the end they will win. There
are no such words retreat or surrender in their
vocabulary To state their position simply and
concisely they are striking first for individual
freedom within the party, and next for the rights
of the people against the forces of corruption and
the tyranny of the money power, protected by
legislation and favored by the Government. Near
ly every proposition they have contended for has
been voted down by the organization and it is
remarkable fact that every principle they have
espoused is to be found among the traditional
precepts of the Democratic party
All of which reads beautifully but fails to
explain why there have been SO many Demo
cratic deserters, and why these same deserters
voted for SO many Republican principles

TRIAL AFARcE' Lorimer bought and bribed
to secure his ''election" to
Congress, has revealed state of political rot
tenness which must disgust every honest
voter in Illinois. The minority legislative
leader, Lee O'Neil Brown, was most active in
Lorimer's behalf, and his trial for bribery
has resulted in disagreement of the jury,
after one hundred and fourteen hours ode
hberation". And this adds another to the
long list of our farcial 'trials by jury.
Some interesting items have come to- light,
regarding the jurys deliberations" twenty
four ballots were taken with always the same
result eight to four for conviction-but
"mistrial" resulted. And one of the Jurors
IS quoted as saying: Enough evidence was
introduced to convict fifty men," This is
proof enough Of the difficulty in landing ''the
man higher up under our jury trial system,
but the thief who takes loaf of bread is
never a source of worry to the jures of the
country.

There is talk now of another extra session,

"The supreme issue is whether the assembly
