WHO DESTROYED
THOSE POSTERS?
Public AROUSED Over Systemat-
ic Removal of Donovan
Autographs.
ONE SOLUTION IS OFFERED
To Which Shrievalty Candidate
Comes Back With a Strong
Statement.

The systematic destruction OF the
Donovan campaign posters along the
main thOroughfares of Rock Island and
Moline, as has been heretofore refer
red to, has aroused no end of discus
sion, and on every side the malicious
act has been openly condemned. While
Mr.. Donovan is having the Autographs
restored, the motive back of their re-
moval remains, and the affair is re-
garded as about as small a piece of
campaign work as has been commit
ted in Rock Island county politics.
Discussing the Motive.
And speaking of motives. a business
man, in discussing the subject this
morning, said: I'm my Judgment, It
would not be very hard to guess at who
is responsible for this work. You
know there is an idle class I'm Rock
Island right now, out of business for
the time being, awaiting the outcome
of the election, which is to determine
whether or not gamblers are to con.
tinue their sojourn among us. II
would not surprise me in the least
If the gambling gentry might know
this nocturnal vandalism. Those Dom
ovan Autographs are somewhat strik-
ing in character. AS The Argus has
said, Donovan does not look good 10
certain classes of people. He does not
have the appearance of a man who
could be used. To be more pointed,
he does not look good TO the gam
blers"
"GambIe-s No Friend of Mine"
When this interview was read to
Mr.. Donovan today. he repeated what
he has said before: II am at a loss
to know who has it in for me to this
extent. and what is more, do not care
particularly. l do not accuse anyone,
although / am free TO say, since the
matter has been brought up, that the
gambler is no friend of mine, and
may add that the feeling is mutual.
am going TO put the Autographs up
again, and If there is anybody who
does not like them, let him get busy"
