COMMITTEE MAKES PLANS
You Most say Ii Quick and Ii Must
Be TO the Point, So Get in
the Game.

The slogan committee of the Fifty
Thousand club got busy the first thing
this morning in session at the Rock
Island club, at which plans were
mapped out for a contest of a weeks
duration to determine what shall be
the watchword OF Greater Rock Island.
A prize of s25 in gold is to be paid for
the most apt idea.
1t was decided 10 accept suitable
suggestions for period of one week.
or until o'clock in the evening of
Thursday, May IS. In order
that there shall be exact fair
ness, the committee adopted
course that will preclude the posi-
bility of its members having knowl
| edge of the names of those who make
suggestions. While the slogans go To
| the committee eventually, those who
offer them are to fill out the blank
| forms appearing in the Rock Island
papers and mail them to f. B. Kreis,
secretary of the Fifty Thousand club,
at his office in the State bank build
ing. Mr.. Kreis will make careful nota-
ton by means of the postoffice cancel
lation stamp on each envelope as TO
the exact time of mailing, and give to
each form submitted a number, keep
ing the name on separate slip with
a corresponding number, and the slo-
gan only will be submitted to the CON-
mittee. In this way, the committee, in
determining the most apt slogan. will
nf ha hn 10
to prove so fortunate as to be the win
ner until after the decision is made.
A PRIZE OF S25.
The committee, as stated. de-
c!ded to offer prize of $25
in gold for suitable slo-
gan, the requirement being that the
slogan be as short and as catchy and
expressive as possible. The fewer
words the better, only it must contain
the city's name.
An idea of what is meant by a slo
, gan, as applied to the modern city
: may be gained by those which have

terson Is a prime favorite in Freewa-
ter where, even his democracy is not
held against him and his humorous
stories and witty, though good natur-
ed thrusts at both parties and the
speakers who had preceded him evok-
ed roars of laughter and frequent ap-
plause.
He said that knowing Judge Lo-
well for the clean, upright and manly
citizen he is, he did not see "for the
life of him" how he could stay i'm the
party he so staunchly upholds; that
he would make a good democrat and
ought to come over into the fold with
out delay. AS for Senator Mulkey. he
said that he reminded him of a mer-
maid, who was mot woman enough
to hug, and not fish enough to fry"
and as he had gone half way, he had
better finish his journey into the
democratic ranks. He talked enter
tainingly on the issues of the cam
