Members of the Wilson and the

Question.

Some Favor an Old Fashioned Demon
stration While Others
Do Not.

A meeting of the members of the
Wilson Democratic and the Dunno
clubs has been called at the demo
cratic headquarters in the Rock Island
house at o'clock this evening to con-
slider the proposition for a ratification
meeting in Rock Island. There Is such
pronounced difference Of opinion as
to the propriety Of, not to say justifica-
ton, for a demonstration, that 1t has
been decided to put the matter up to
the membership of the two clubs to
determine.
IDEAS DIFFER.
There are a great many democrats
who feel that demonstration is COM
| ing to them, while there are others
who are inclined to the theory that the
campaign having been an exception
ally quiet and undemonstrative one, 1t
would be more becoming to accept the
result philosophically and without rub
bling 1t in.
In view Of the differences Of opin-
( ion, it is hoped that as many members
Of both clubs as can attend tonight's
meeting to pass upon the matter.

NO PARTY HOLDS
NEWLEG|SLATURE
Democrats Lack IL and Repub-
licans 20 of Joint Ballot
Majority.

Chicago, Nov. THE Chicago Rec
ord-Herald says:
1.-THE democrats will be dozen votes
shot of a majority on joint ballot IN
the new Illinois legislature. The re-
publicans will be more than 20 votes
distant from a majority. The pro-
gressive will be able to muster % votes
in the two houses and hold the balance
of power. The socialists will have
three members of the house.
These are the results of the con-
tests over legislative seats as shown
by fairly complete returns from most
of the 81 senatorial districts.
THE late returns emphasized the
fact that was apparent Tuesday night
that the legislature will be deadlocked
and neither Of the old parties will be
able to elect either of the two United
States senators without making terms
with the progressives or with each
other.
Governor Deneen is ready to con-
vene the old legislature in special SEES

convinced he can accomplish anything
/ by so doing If he finds on checking

two factions .of the republican major
! ity will work together the governor
will set before the legislature the task
of filing the Lorimer vacancy in the
United States senate and of passing
| congressional and senatorial district
apportionment bills.
IF the Lorimer vacancy can be fill
ed before the new legislature conVenes
in January, 1t will be possible for the
republicans to save at least part OF
the federal jobs which will be lost &c

inner vacancy and also elect a sue
