Hard on Carthage Candidates.
Last night and today the people
most interested in the new road were
hardly sure how it all happened judg-
Ing from the diverse statements they
made. One thing, however, stood out
emphatically in all their talk, and that
was that nobody living in Carthage
will ever be shown any friendliness
In the western townships of Hancock
any more. The old court house fight
is outdone in the bitterness of the
people along the river over this action
of the board of supervisors. Men
icredited with the ability to put lot
of votes in the ballot boxes beseeched
the interviewer to watch the vote in
Nanvoo, Hamilton and Sonora for
county office candidates who live IN
Carthage.
To understand this, it must be
known that Supervisor Gordon from
Carthage, is looked on as the chief
factor in preventing the building OF
the new road. He led the forces
against the proposition and seems to
have done 1T very skillfully. 1t is re
menibered that Nauvoo, which de
pended much on this new road outlet
rendered great aid in the building OF
the new courthouse in Carthage land
now Nauvoo feels that she has been
betrayed In the house OF her friends
Nauvoo people make no bones OF talk
ing all this even more plainly.
! Local JeaIousles In Evidence.
Out OF what is really almost a
hubbub of explanation by the distract
ed and angry people across the river
two things seem to be audible.

The western part Of Hancock coun-
ty, especially Hamilton and Nanvoo,
is in the throes of a ruction such as
never was seen before in the county
across the river. on account Of the
way in which the county board OF
supervisors blocked the proposed
new lake shore drive on the Illinois
side yesterday afternoon.

One is that the rest OF the county
OF twenty-six townships and supervis-
ors took whack at Na,voo. Sonoro
and Montebello, because 1t was
thought only these three townships
would benefit by the new road.
For instance, Supervisor Charles
H. Ingraham, LaEIarpe banker. said
openly at the meeting that if the wat
err power company wished to build a
road to LaHarpe he would favor an
appropriation for it, but the new river
road would do LaHarpe no good. and
SO he would vote against it.
Supervisor Swanson of the south
east township. has talked for the
road a hundred times in meetings of
citizens and committees which he at
tended during the winter, but he
lodged the. roll call by leaving the
room when the vote was taken.
Allege Adverse Influence.
Others ascribe the defeat Of the
road to the influence of one Carthage
lawyer whom they allege owns some
50 :
of the supervisors and merely ordered
them how to vote. This lawyer is en-
gagged in litigation against the water
power company, and it Is alleged that
the cities of Nauvoo and Hamilton
suffered from his antagonism to the
cbompany, regardless of the merits of
the road matter itself. And In the
talk, Carthage Is held responsible for
the action of this lawyer in whose
office Supervisor Gordon is located
as an abstracter of titles.
It is claimed that the people of
Dallas are not represented by the
vote Of their Supervisor Bliss against
this road 1t is said that the people
up there are not. as a rule, antagonis-
tic to the new road, but at any rate
their supervisor voted against it and

The Men on Record.
The proposition on which the vote
was taken was that the county pay
half the cost of bridges and approach
es not to exceed $4,000, which is the
proportion under the Illinois road law
when bridges are built on roads COM
ing up in the more usual way. The
supervisors voting for 1t were KimbalI
of Nauvoo. Hosford of Montebello,
Thornber of Sonora, Frazee OF Har-
mony, Hudson of Appanoose, Grey of
Wythe, Patterson of Warsaw, Bush
Of Rock Greek.
Swanson lodged the vote. Chair
man Fry's name was not called but
he stated that he favored the resolu-
tion and would vote for it IL he were

there is not to call the name OF the
chairman except in case OF tie.
Cooper 10 Satisfied.
"The action of Hancock county, as
II have been informed about 1t, is en-
tirely satisfactory to the water power
company" said Chief Engineer Hugh
IL. Cooper this morning, for really
the company has no special interest in
any other outcome. We made an offer
to help build the road and it is entire
lly within the discretion OF the author
tiles over in Illinois to accept or re-
ject it. We have plenty Of other things
to keep us busy, without discussing
incidents which are closed as the
Illinois road matter is, for our chief
energies are being given to building
a rather large dam and water power

And Mr.. Copper was evidently in a
good humor as he said It.

Political Notes.

| Evan F. Benners was In town last week
with his genial smile and his ready hand
shake. He is very sure that he will be
the next assemblYman from this county.
The terms of Richard ]. B. Slack and
Bennett Risdon, justices of the peace,
will expire this year. Both are candidates
for reelection.
A petition is being circulated for the
purpose of having William H. Mason
placed In the contest for member of the
township committee, to succeed himself.
Mr.. Mason has made very creditable
officer. He has given attention to the de.
tails of the Office to the benefit of the
township. By the time the election will
take place the question of improved
streets will have been settled, and Mr.
Mason will give his attention to other
matters. Oae of the first things he will
insist upon is movement to supply our
citizens with pure water. That will be
his platform-"Pure Water" That is a
vital question and there ought not to be
any trouble in securing substantial sup
port for any man who will lend his aid to
that movement.
