dunno CLUB HEARS.
SOME FINE TALKS
L. r. Reynolds, W. M. Balluff,
Frank Gustafson and G. W.
McCaskrin Speak.

There was large attendance Of the
Dunno club last night at the semi
weekly meeting at the headquarters,
1S1S-1s20 Third avenue, and there was
q series Of rousing political talks.
Robert Z. Reynolds spoke first, his
topic being the need of a man like
Judge F. F. Dunno in the governors
chair at Springfield. He stated that to
the people OF Illinois it was more i'm
portAnt that a man OF DUNES calibre
DO elected governor than that the ma
tional democratic ticket be made win
ner. He endeavored to show that Hi
noisans are more directly affected by
the man in the governors mansion
than by the resident Of the White
house
Mr.. Reynolds took up the three gu
bernatorial candidates and discussed
them. He branded Funk as a man
without a record, and said that If De
neen = to be believed, Funk is a very
undesLeble citizen.
As for Deneen, Mr.. Reynolds said
one had only TO consider the record
he has made and the things he has
stood for during his long tenure of Of
fee. and during the time he was
states attorney Of Cook county. Dur
ing all that time, said the speaker, De
neen was for Deneen alone and had
but two aims-the building up of p.'
vate wealth and the establishment of a
political machine to serve his own
ends
To Judge Dunno. democracy's candi-
date, Mr. Reynolds paid tribute. He
spoke from personal and professional
association with the candidate, and
characterized him as an able. efficient
and dignifed judge. worthy and capa-
bic mayor Of the city Of Chicago. and
one who will make an upright, honor
able. vigorous and effective governor
OF the state a man who will have the
backbone 10 veto bad legislation and
who will bring about laws meant for
the good Of the people.
A. the conclusion Of his speech Mr..
Reynolds was accorded a rising vote
CT thanks.
Hon Walter " Balluff OF Davenport
gave q most interesting talk on the
value OF club organization and Of the
work that can be done by its members
lie said that the members Of a politi-
cal club can do more for their candi-
dates IN the way of making votes than
al the political speakers in the state,
and he gave as his reason for this be-
lief, the fact that AZ political meet
ings argument Is never rcsortad to,
and people Of the opposition who listen
usually go away with their questions
or claims unanswered. More votes
can be changed" said Mr. Ballun. I'm
the conferences at the corner grocery
store than In half dozen political
meetings. All that is necessary is for
man 10 aCqUaint himself with the
principles Of his party and learn to
defend them from attack and answer
allegations concerning them"
The speaker then outlined a plan
that could be followed. He took the
platforms OF the three parties which
figure IN the present campaign. and
showed that they are practically the
same They an declare against and
for the same things. The only differ
cnces are the remedies offered for the
evils OF the day
lie then launched into a discussion
OF Roosevelt and gave pointers for

Mora "rhIrd Partun Talk.

Chicago.-"The Roosevelt camp has
gradually Thursday divided into two
groups, A new party is in the process
of birth. AS to the immediate steps
to be taken there are almost as many
opinions as there are men. In the
inner councils of the Roosevelt camp
two groups are forming. One group is
satisfied to beat Taft and have a mod
crate progressive candidate nominal
ed. The second group believes that
the setting aside of Roosevelt after he
has carried the primaries would in IL
self be 3 victory for the resctionariss.

important than those Of the election
campaign which is to follow between
the two great national parties. The
question here as stake was whether
the Republican party was to change
its attitude as the chief conservator
in the national of constitutional rep
resentative government and was to
weaken the constitutional guarantee
of life, liberty and property and all
other rights declared sacred in the
Bill of Rights, by abandoning the prin-
ciple of the absolute independence Of
the judiciary, essential to the mainte-
nance of those rights. The campaign
carried on to seize the Republican
party and make it the instrument of
reckless ambition and the unsettling
of the fundamental principles of our
government was so sudden and unex-
pected THAT time was not given close
ly TO show to the people and the party
the dangers which confronted them.
1t was sought to break the wise and
valuable tradition against giving more
than two terms to any one man in the
presidency and the danger from its
breach could not be measured. The
importance of the great victory which
has been achieved can not be over-es-
timated. All over this country patri-
otto people tonight are breathing
more freely that a most serious men
ace to our Republican institutions has
been averted.
1T is not necessary tonight to
speak of the result in November and
of the issues which may arise be-
tween the Republican and Democratic
parties during the presidential cam
paign.
ut will be time enough to do that
after the action of the convention at
Baltimore 1t is enough now to say
that whatever may happen in Novem.

Ohio for President, and James School
craft Sherman of New York, for Vice
President
President Taft receied SCI of the
1,078 votes in the convention, or q
more than a majority.
The decision of the Roosevelt peo-
ple under direction of their leader,
to refrain from voting, left no other
candidate. The announcement of the
Taft victory was greeted with cheer
ing from his adherents and groans and
Kisses from the opposition.
When it became absolutely certain
early Saturday that Mr.. Taft would be
nominated without great difficulty the
leaders in control of the convention
decided to give him as running
mate his companion on the ticket in
1908.
All others dropped from the race
and Mr.. Sherman was the only can
didate regularly placed before the
convention. A motion from New
Hampshire to make the nomination
by dCCldHldIlOu Was ueClhIeu OuI vi
order There were many scattering
votes on the roll call that ensued.
The convention amid much confu-
sion adjourned sine die.
At no time was there an indication
of a walk-out of the Roosevelt dele
gates. They expressed their revolt
by silence.
In the confusion just before the ad
journment, a resolution was adopted
giving the national committee power
to declare vacant the seat of any man
on the committee refusing to support
the nominees of the regular conven-
ton of 1912.
Sherman's vote was 597
President Taft made the following
statement: -- ~.--- .--.--.
