Illinois Politics

Chicago, April 4-Mayor Harrison
came openly to the support of Samuel
Alschuler in his candidacy for the DEM
ocratic nomination for governor yes
terday In a letter to the Aurora can
didate he announced his intention to
vote for him at the primaries and prais-
ed his record in the legislature. The
opposition Of Alschuler to the Humph-
rey and Allen bills and his work for
the repeal of the latter were given as
the principal reasons for the Harrison
support. The mayor says in his letter
that he does not intend to force sup
port Of Alschuler by others. Neverthe-
less. his declaration was taken as an
indication that the Reconsideration
forces would, be solidly behind the
Kane county candidate at the primar.
les. This led to CONSERVATION in the
camps of the other candidates for the
democratic nomination.

Have the republicans Of the Thirty
third senatorial district read the dec
laration of principles as enunciated in
the published platform of Charles A
Clark? If any one has not read this
declaration he should do so. Take for
instance, that plank relating to the TAX
ing of railroad transportation. Mr..
Clark asserts that as the state provides
for the payment of railroad fare of the
members of the legislature he will not
under any circumstances be the recip-
lent of railroad passes. In other words
he will not place himself under any OBJ
legations to the great corporations. For
a number of years attempts have been
made to place upon the statutes of the
state a law prohibiting the reception
and use of free transportation. Many
states have such laws But Illinois has
never as yet had a majority in its
state legislature favorable to such a
measure. And as a result railroad leg
islation in Illinois in the past has
largely been dictated by the railroad
interests. Charles A. Clark can be
counted TO vote right upon this ques-
ton

M'CASKRIN AND DOVE

Harry NJ. McCaskrin, candidate Tor
the republican nomination for states
attorney, spoke at the Barrymore the
atre. in Moline, last evening, in an adj
dress in which he reiterated MS
charges against the so-called million
aire tax-dodgers, accused them OF be-
coming desperate in the closing days
of the campaign, said that never De-
fore had such foul means been en-
ployed to elect a trust-owned prose
cutor, and assailed the character OF the
newspapers and made lot of wild and
senseless charges against them. He
talked of official grafters and attacked
Mayor Schriver and Sheriff Bruner.
He repeated his denial Of having ad-
vised his hearers Monday night to
"overpower the police" The speech
was apparently timed. Lee Fawcett,
riot victim, did not appear. but Ander-
son Dove, employe of the Wells-Fargo
express company in Rock Island, was
on hand and delivered an address In
which he said that on the night of the
riot he was hit in the leg with buck
shot, and he invited his hearers to step
on the stage at the close of the meet
ing and inspect the leg and shot.

DR.. RIGGS ON VISIT
TO LOCAL DEMOCRATS

DR.. John P. Riggs of Media, Hen
derson county, is spending the day in
Rock Island and Moline. calling on
local democrats in advancement of
his candidacy for the democratic con-
gressional nomination from the 14th
district DR.. Riggs, in conversation in
The Argus Office this morning, said:
IF Mr.. Tavenner secures the nomina-
ton l will be for him with all my
might. We are not enemies in this
contest. We are friends and if he
wins in the primary l will give him
the same hearty support that l am
sure he will give me if l win. This
is no year for democrats to quarrel.
They are doing enough of that on the
republican side to satisfy both par
ties
Dr. Riggs will be glad to see any
democrats who may find it convenient
to call on him at the New Harper this
evening.

To the democratic voters of the
Thirty-third senatorial district: Be
lieving that the democrats will be
successful in the state election, as
well as in the national. this fall, and
knowing that an experienced member
sonally acquainted with the state Of
ficials, can be of much greater ser
vice to the people, particularly the
democrats of the district, than an in
experienced one, as a candidate for
denomination as representative in the
general assembly, ] am asking the
support of the democratic voters as a
plain democrat who, as their repre-
sentative for the past three years, has
acted in harmony with the large ma
jority of the democratic members of
the general assembly upon all polit,
ical questions, and upon non-poEt
ical questions, after careful consid
Grafton, has taken such actions as /
believed to be in the interest of the
people as whole.
If renominated ! expect TO stand
squarely upon the democratic platform;
as have in the past, and as l am no.,
nor will be pledged to any interest
or faction, / will be free to use my
best judgment upon all questions com
/ ing before the general assembly.
Yours Sincerely,

HEARTS DESIRE OF BADEN
POWELL.

In speaking of the vital import OF
the Boy Scout movement 10 the world,
President Colin H. Livingstone relat-
ed a touching incident which took
place at the banquet given 10 Cen
eral Baden Powell at the Hotel AstOr.
Seven or eight hundred guests, rep
resenting the prominent business and
educational interests OF New York
city had gathered there 10 pay tribute
TO the distinguished guest There was
a vacant chair between General Rus
sell and Mr.. Livingstone. and leading
over. the American suggested:
Doesn't this splendid tribute TO
the idea inspire you? Does it recall
the picture Of Mafeking?"

that my dear old mother might sit in

\ PREJUDICED JUDGE.

Members of the bar should endorse
the efforts of Congressman Berger to
have Judge Hanford of Seattle i'm
peached. 1t is evident from Judge
Hanford's decisions that he is a very
prejudiced judge. He is of vindictive
mind and his action shows sympathy
with the corporate interests as Op-
posed to the general welfare. a few
such men as he are largely responsible
for the fact the judiciary throughout
the United States has fallen under
popular suspicion. Men like HanfOrd
are chiefly responsible for the wide
demand that the recall be applied to
judges as we'll as to other officials.
People resent having the judiciary
made a bulwark for the protection of
special privilege. The law is supposed
to look alike upon all people, re-
gardless Of wealth. political creed OF
social position.

REGULATION HELPS.

\ certain fraction of the business
community seems to hold the false
notion that the movement for the
public regulation of corporations that
have a monopolistic tendency is a
movement that hurts business and
hinders prosperity. says a san Fran
cisco paper. Nothing could be fur
ther from the truth.
No other state has gone so far as
Wisconsin in the regulation OF corpor-
ations. And Wisconsin is now reap
ing the fruits Of this policy in a de-
gree Of prosperity that is wholly ex-
ceptional.
\ prominent Wisconsin business
man, Mr.. o. H. ingram Of Eau Claire,
speaking Of this matter. says:
Business has grown in Wisconsin
since the enactment of the railroad
commission and public utilities laws
The investor has a better chance.
dividends are sure and regular. secur-
tiles are safe, new business concerns
are coming in, railroads are extending
their lines and all business is increas-
ing every year. The lower rates i'm
posed by the railroad commission
have increased business and profits.
1t is to be understood that the So
called railroad commission in Wis
consin has jurisdiction over all sorts
Of public service corporations. and
does thoroughly and we'll what the
two public service commissions OF
this state do partially and i'll.
All Wisconsin public utilities are
operated under indeterminate fran
chises from the state. But the state
is as jealous TO guard the investors
ir these corporations as it is to guard
the community at large. The state
guarantees to the corporations the
right to do business without ruin
Gus competition. so long as they fairly
serve the public.
Bonds Of Wisconsin public utilities
are specially safe investments and
are so regarded, because the pur-
chaser may be sure that the proceeds
have not been stolen or fritterei away
but have actually gone into the ply
steal property of the concern, and
that the investment has been ap-
proved by the railroad commission.
The good example that is being set
by the state of Wisconsin should
awaken the whole country to the i'm
portant truth that the rigorous pub
lie regulation Of monopolies is not
pcpulism or fanaticism. but good bus
iness. It makes the wheels 60
round.

\ THIRD PARTY?

With the growing prospect that
Taft will control the national repub-
lican convention the talk of a third
party with Roosevelt at the head
grows in volume. There are many
who feel assured such a bolt will oc-
cur if Taft is renominated. 1t would
not be like Roosevelt to quit without
such a struggle.
In the event a bolt should occur
the boilers however might not attempt
the formation of a new political party.
They might be content with the title
progressive or Roosevelt republicans
and lay claim to the fact they rather
than the regular republican organi-
zation represent the true sentiment of
the republican party throughout the
nation. 1t is a claim they could
make with good show of reason for
with the single exception Of Massa-
chusetts, Roosevelt has beaten Taft
badly wherever the two men have
fought it out before the people.
Roosevelt is the real choice of the
republican voters. Taft is not.
Whether the boilers formed a new
party outright or merely ran as bolt
ing republicans would probably make
but little difference in the outcome.
The new party plan might win more
democratic votes while the term
Roosevelt Republican" would bring
forth more republican ballots.
The success of a bolting ticket
would hinge more upon the demo-
cratic nominee than anything else.

ar running as the democratic nominee
