ANONYMOUS LETTER
CAUSE FOR DEBATE
Presented to Council but City
Dads Finally Decide
Not to Read 1t.

Councilman Evans of the Second
ward last night created two lively
and learned discussions by advocating
the placing of advertisements in ce-
ment walks and by presenting an
anonymous letter he had received for
the clerk to read.
Referring to advertising in cement
walks he said that it would be an
economical move ON the part of the
city, as the money received from such
advertising would pay for placing the
walks. Councilmen and the mayor
frowned on this idea. They said it
would not look nice and would be a
dangerous precedent. Evans came
back by stating that a Main street
concern had already established the
precedent. The mayor said he would
attend to the matter at once.
The unsigned letter Evans received
and presented to council still remains
dark secret. Council showed its
contempt of all anonymous writer's by
refusing to hear the letter read. The
clerk finally gave the communication
to Fire Chief Ed Miller. who perused
it with scowling visage and then re-
turned it to Bescher.

ATTEMPT To CHECK
THIRD PARTY MOVE
In Illinois by Putting T. RS
Name with Taft's on the
@. O. P. Ticket.
National News Association


CHICAGO, July ia plan to put
the name of Theodore Roosevelt on
the regular Republican ticket in Illi-
nois along with that of William H.
Taft in defiance of the decision of the
Republican national convention has
been suggested by leaders of the vari-
Gus warning factions of the party here
The plan is a compromise offer to pre-
vent putting third party state ticket
in the field. According to the plan the
names of Taft and Roosevelt would be
printed under the Republican emblem
A square would be placed in front of
each and the voters asked to indicate
their choice by cross. The electors
according to the scheme, would be
pledged to vote for the candidate re-
ceiving the highest vote in this pref
erence election.
Another plan suggested as peace
offering is to submit a short ballot
with the other tickets at the election,
giving the voters the right to express
their presidential choice on separate
ticket, the presidential electors being
bound to vote according to the result
of this ballot. Both plans could legally
be carried out according to the Illi-
nois election laws.
