RESULT TO PLEASE ALL.
Albert Huber in a short talk, said
the election of Governor Wilson to the
presidency of the United States will
give cause for rejoicing among SO pei
cent of the voters of the country. His
premises leading to this conclusion
were logical. He pointed out that II

fer democratic principles and would
therefore be highly pleasing to demo
Gratis. More than this, Wilson's sue
cess will cause rejoicing among the
bull moose who will see in it the JUS
LITIGATION of their protest against the
G. o. p. and lastly the regular re
publicans will rejoice that the third
term candidate and denouncer of the
party which made him, severely sa
upon.
Referring to the county ticket, Mr.
Huber said though year after year re
publicans are placed in the Rock Is
land county court house by big major
tiles. their acts are at once disap
proved by even larger numbers. HI
cited the recent calls from the repub
lican county board for special taxa
tion made necessary by republican ex
travagance and called attention to tn,
fact that the same voters who put tn,
, supervisors in Office piled up the vote
against the requests of the supervis
crs, thereby showing their disapproval
: He went further and cited one reput
lican candidate as using for politica
capital the fact that the county ha
oeen mismanaged and that count,
finances are low because Of fhilur
of republic officials to enforce tn
laws.
