How He Would stop pusIlna.

Dueling survived in England until
about the middle of the forties, when"
says Lady Dorothy Nevill, ian en-
counter between Lieutenant Colonel
Fawcett and Lieutenant Monro. In
which the former was shot dead, led
to a debate in the house Of commons
owing to the wife of the former being
refused a pension. On this occasion
Sir Charles Napier declared that but
one way existed of effectually putting
an end to dueling. No duel should be
allowed which was not fought across
table. or the two pistols used only
one should be loaded with ball. lots
being drawn to see who should have
the loaded one. If this produced no
result then both pistols should be load
ed with ball and the survivor, should
there be one. hanged"

FORTY THOUSAND
REPUBLICANSF FOR
WOODROW WILSON
One of the Most Significant
Developments of the Cam
paign in New York.

New York, Oct. s.-One Of the most
significant developments of the pres
ent presidential campaign has been
the large number of republicans of
national prominence who have sacri-
feed their party to come out in sup
port of Governor Woodrow Wilson's
candidacy. More than 10000 of these
republicans, all whom avow progress
siFe principles, are to be found this
fall fighting in the ranks with the
forces of the New Jersey governor.
Their alienation from their old polit-
ical kinsmen is due in almost every
instance 10 their conviction that the
time has arrived when they should
! put aside mere party feaity for cause
based Oh higher principles. While
ardent republicans at heart, they find
| absolutely no inspiration in the lead
| ership of President Taft because of
/ his generally admitted reactionary be-
| liefs and they have no sympathy for
| Colonel Roosevelt's third term move
ment Governor Wilson, in this crisis,
seemed to measure up to their esti,
mate as a true progressive and they
decided to cast their political fortunes
with his.
Most notable perhaps among these
dissenting progressive republicans are
DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, the govern
ment's former chief chemist; Rudolph
Spreckels. whose war on graft and
civic corruption in San Francisco
has made him a national figure; Louis
Brandies, the noted Boston lawyer-re-
former; United States Senator John

Wilson's cause; Senator John J. Blain

TRIBUNE SEES A
CHANCE FOR TAv
Even Republican Paper Admits
Judge Searle Can Hardly
Pull Through.

The Chicago Tribune of today says:
1T was announced yesterday that the
only two speeches Champ Clark will
make in Illinois during the presiden-
tial campaign will be made by the
speaker for his personal friend, Clyde
H. Tavenner, a Washington CORE
spondent, whose residence is in Cor
dova, and who is running for congress
on the democratic ticket in the Four
teenth illinois district.
"The two addresses will be made on
Oct. IA. One will be in Monmouth
on the afternoon of that day, and the
! other in Rock Island in the evening.
Mr.. Clark has said that he would
rather make the speeches for Taven-
ner than any man Ia America
THE situation in the 14th dis
trict is an interesting one. Although
the district normally is republican by
about 1000, Tavenner staads an ex-
cellent chance of winning the con-
gressional seat, 1t is asserted His OPP
ponent is C. ]. Searle, an attorney
| Searle is the nominee of the Taft re.
publicans, but is said to be favoring
Roosevelt men.
I'm addition to having the support
of Champ Clark and other democratic
leaders, as well as the democratic
organization in the district Taven

GREAT DOINGS ARE
THOSE PLANNED
FOR NEXT MONDAY
When Champ Clark, Colonel
Lewis and P. j. Lucey Come
to Rock Island.

The officers Of the democratic coun-
ty committee and the Wilson Demo
cratic club met last evening at the
democratic headquarters in the Rock
Island house and named a reception
committee for the democratic gala day
exercises in Rock Island next Monday.
The committee. which is composed Of
democrats of Rock Island and Moline
and the county at large, is to act as
escort 10 the distinguished speakers of
the day, Colonel James Hamilton
Lewis and p. J. Ducey, who speak in
the afternoon at the Illinois theatre,
and 70 Speaker Champ Clark, who will
be heard in the evening at o'clock at
the same place.
The action OF the county committee
and the Wilson club in extending a
special invitation to ladies to be pres
ent at both the afternoon and evening
meetings at the Illinois theatre, is
meeting with general approval. The
committee proposes TO see that the
best accommodations in the house are
reserved for the ladies', and it is graf
flying to know that there is a general
desire among the ladies TO hear both
Colonel Lewis and Speaker Clark, as
we'll as Mr.. Lucey. Colonel Lewis,
who speaks in the afternoon, is regard.
ed as one OF the most finished orators
in the country. His addresses, on what
ever subject, are regarded as classics,
and he is such a platform speaker that
people as a rule would gladly give a
chautauqua course. II will cost moth
ing TO hear him on the issues OF the
campaign at the Illinois theatre next
Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock. P. ].
Lucey Is also an entertaining talker.
And as for as Speaker Champ Clark,
who will be heard in the evening, is
concerned, who does not.want to see
and hear Champ Clark, one Of the no
blest Of the public men of his day-hon-
est and fearless, a statesman, Of the
old school. grand old southern gen.
tleman, beloved by his party and by
the public generally as few men have
been in all the country's annals.
Champ Clark will pack the house in
the evening and Colonel Lewis and Mr.
Lucey will have a big audience in the
afternoon
Bleuer's band will furnish music on
both occasions and in the selection Of
airs, the good old "Houn' Dawg" song
will not be lost sight OF.
II will be a great occasion in Rock
Island, both afternoon and evening.

DR.. Harvey w. Wiley declares the
most important campaign document
yet issued by the democratic national
the Woman's National Wilson and
Marshall organization. 1t discloses
some new and startling facts in con.
nection with the long fight for pure
food. 1t hsows how the efforts of the
bureau on pure food were blocked by
the administrations of both Roosevelt
and Taft. These booklets are going
to be distributed this year throughout
the country by the democratic ma
tional committee.
In the booklet Mrs. Borden Harri-
man, president of the national organ
ization, makes a strong appeal to the
women of the country in which she
says:
mo subject is more vital to women
than health in the home. No function
is so essentially the women's func-
ton as the protection of the food sup
ply, the protection of sanitary and
hygienic working conditions and the
general conservation of human life.
l therefore appeal to the patriotic
women of America for their active
participation in the present great
fight which. is being waged by the
Wilson and Marshall campaign in be-
half of these measures"
The General Federation OF Women's
Clubs at the biennial conference held
June 26-July 6, declared that "the ad-
ministration of the department of ag.
riculture has been and is such that
at present the law is prostituted for
the benefit of the special interests
and the welfare of the people is ig-
rored," and adopted a resolution call,

STRANGE Cure For Lunsey.

All of these notable men, represent

Wilson through purely disinterested
motives. They believe that his cleo
toin will mean an end Of the sys-
tenn of special privilege fostered I'd
der successive republican administra-
tons and return of governmental
control to the people.
New York, Oct S.-More than 10000
progressive republicans have pledged
their support to Governor Wilson
through the Wilson National Progress
sive republican league. These figures
are taken from the enrolment lists
Of the league, which now has head
quarters in New York, Philadelphia.
Chicago, Cleveland, Milwaukee, Pitts
burgh and San Francisco. The organ
ization Of this league, the influence
OF which will be significant in the
November election, is the result Of
little more than six weeks work.
That is has become nationwide is due
largely to the activities of Rudolph
Spreckels, the wealthy San Francisco
reformer, who has spent the past 10
years in an uncompromising war on
all forms of graft and governmental
dishonesty; DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, the
governments former chief chemist,
and Senator John ]. Blaine Of Wiscon-
sin, law partner of Senator La Fol
lette and chief aide of the senator ia
his fight for the republican presiden-
tial nomination. These men, likely
many thousands of Senator La Fol-
lette's loyal supporters, were deeply
disappointed at the failure of the re-
publican convention to name a pro-
gressive candidate. Not realizing on
the hopes of Senator La Toilette, they
would have been satisfied with a pro.
gressive of the type of Governor Had
ley OF Missouri, or Senator Cummins
of Iowa. They declined to follow Col
onel Roosevelt out of the republican
party because they had not sympathy
with the third term movement. The
fight to purge the republican party of
its reactionary element should be
made within the party, they held, and
not as adherents of the colonel, who
to the former La Toilette supporters
is in no sense a progressive.
Soon after the Chicago convention
Rudolph Spreckels called a meeting of
group Of leading progressive re-
publicans in Chicago. In addition to
DR.. Wiley and Senator Blaine, Mr.
Sprecke.s consulted with Senator La
Toilette and Louis Brandeis, the noted
lawyer and reformer. They gave their
warm endorsement of the league move
ment. Other meetings were held in
San Francisco, New York and Chica-
go, the result of which was a decision
to support Governor Wilson because

Louis Brandeis, the eminent Boston
lawyer, is proving a great help to
Wilson in the present campaign.
Brandeis is a republican, but believes
that Taft ie too friendly TO the big
interests and that Roosevelt's plan to
regulate rather than destroy the trusts
is wrong. Brandeis believes that
Wilson's plan of destroying monopoly
whenever possible is correct and for
this reason is using all his influence
in behalf Of the democratic candidate.
