FLAG is ROISTED
FOR NOMINEES
Democrats Beat All Corners in
Flying Names of Candi-
dates in Rock Island.

The first campaign flag to be swung
to the breeze in Rock Island during
the present campaign was hoisted this
morAing over Second avenue between
the democratic headquarters in the
Rock Island house and The Argus
building. On either side of the starry
banner are the names of the demo-
cratic standard bearers, Wilson and
Marshall.
The democrats have thus beaten all
rivals to it in the matter of putting
up the customary campaign banner.
So far, strange to say, there is no
Taft and Sherman flag in Rock Island,
nor is there a Roosevelt and John
son one. although the bull moosers
In South Rock Island have had flag
for some time.
In Rock Island the democrats are
the first to hoist the names of their
candidates.
This morning Harry NJ. McCaskrin,
torney, made it his business
TO take exception 20 the demo
cratic banner as displayed on
the ground that II is against the
law to attach anything to the Ameri.
can flag, and forthwith had photo.
graphs made OF the combination. On
Mr.. McCaskrin informing an officer OF
the Wilson club that the Law was being
violated, the flag was taken in and
the names detached and permitted
10 swing separately, as the spirit
which prompted the raising Of the
flag was entirely patriotic and law
respecting and with no intent or de-
sire to offend anyone, even though he
might be opposed TO the democrats
When the banners were ordered, il
was with the understanding that they
would be In no way attached to the
flag, but would hang separately on
the rope on either side. but they were
fastened with the idea, no doubt, thai
they would serve as stays. While the
Wilson club, whose banner IL is, has
cheerfully and promptly removed ev
cry semblance of violation of law
there are flags flying all over thil
land today with the names Of presi
dental candidates attached TO the bot
tom. In this case the Wilson clul
committee took pains to see that tn,
names Of the candidates were not fas
tened to the bottom, but were mere
y connected with the flag Or eithe
side as 1t hung between them. b.
the names have been cut loose, and i
may be said that the application Of the
law in the case was being inquired int,
before Mr.. McCaskrin set his camera.

to Use the word cooperation Co
operation, In its best sense, implies
that the business is being operated
for the benefit of the consumer. In
a narrower sense, cooperation implies
that the business is being conducted
by and for the benefit Of those work
ing in 1t. Cooperation is not an apt
term to mean that the business is be-
ing conducted In the interests of the
capitalists, large and small, who are
its stockholders. No trust has yet
been operated for the benefit of the
consumer or of its own employees.
The s62,500,oO0 promoters fee taken
in the organization of the steel cor
poration, and the $6.S00.000 financiers'
fee paid later for providing $40, 600, 200
cash in connection with the preferred
stock-conversion plan, raise doubt
whether its officers have always Co
operated with the stockholders.
Nor is the term cooperation prop.
erly used to express the relation OF
the trust to other steel makers, even
in the happy days of the Gary din
This concentration OF ore reserves
instead of resulting in much-vaunted
trust economies has increased i'm
mensely the market value of ore lands
and the cost of steel products to the
consumer. Upon such Of the trusts
competitors as did not own ore lands
1t has already heaped heavy burdens
Mr.. Carnegie put it thus before the
| Stanley committee:
Gentlemen, you cannot organize
new steel companies in this country
now. Mark that. They
could not buy ore.
That pictures the future II tn,
steel trust is preserved. Its presen
control, through its transportation
systems, is thus described by tn,
Stanley committee:
The steel corporation, Ia the con
duct of its business, has obtained con
troll of various railway and STEAMSHIP
lines by which it's raw material 1
transported from the ore beds of tn,
eporthwest to the plants of the col
poration. Much of the ore consumed
by the competitors Of the corporation
is carried over these various lines O
transportation
How great this tribute has been |
indicated by the dividends paid by tn
several railroad companies owned b
the steel corporation. For the fou
years ending 1911, the average yearl
dividend on the Duluth, Missabe
Northern was 154 per cent; on tn
Duluth & Iron Range, 1875 per cent
on the Bessemer & Lake Erie, S71
per cent.
Such is the power of this hug
trust in matters connected with tran.
portation, despite the existence of tn
able and honest interstate commerc
commission. Shall we allow the d,
j velopment Of such concerns-and rel
upon an interstate trade commissio
| to control them?"

In this platform Judge Duane de-
clares for the abolition of graft, ex-
travagance and inequality in taxation,
and declares for real reform in place
of fake reform, and for the enactment
of just and efficient laws for the pro-
lection of the lives, limbs and health
of employees. The twelve plahks are

heIuSeQ 10 express any preference 80
This ratio if maintained Throughout,
the state, which this year will cast ap-
proximately 100000 votes, would give
Taft in round numbers $4,000, Roose-
welt $1,000 and Wilson $4,000, or a
clear plurality of $4,000 for the dem
ocratic candidate.
This poll was taken during and sub
sequent to the time that Roosevelt
made his tour through the state, so
that it may be said to reflect what
ever benefit he gained, or whatever
harm he did his cause in Minnesota
IT was completed before Governor Will
son visited Minneapolis and st. Paul,
where he was received with great en-
thusiasm and it is conceded on all
sides that he greatly strengthened
himself.
Never before, not even IN the cam
paign when John Lind was elected
governor, nor in the Johnson CAM
paigns, have the democrats been so
thoroughly organized as they are to-
day. Much of the credit for this is
due to National Committeeman Fred
B. Lynch. Never has the party been
so hopeful of success in the state as at
present; never has 1t had such good
reason for such hopefulness. Govern
or Wilson is steadily gaining. He
made thousands of votes by his visit
to the state, and the prediction of the
best prognosticators is that he will
carry Minnesota. The fight is between
Wilson and Roosevelt, with the
chances much in favor OF the former.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1912-10-02

the promise embodied in the repub-
lfcan platform was sincere and that
ii meant revision downward. The
pledge was not kept; hence the voters
will repudiate Taft. Roosevelt has
not convinced the voters that he
would do any better. There is there
for only one thing left for them to do
and that is to vote for wilson. And
that is exactly what they are going to
do on election day, for Minnesota
wants tariff revision downward, nay,
more than that, Minnesota demands it.
Here is convincing evidence of the
way the voters feel and of the change
of sentiment which has come over
them. Receatly a practically COM
plete poll was taken in one township
of each of the counties of Wabasha,
Chisago, Faribault, Mcleod, Stearns,
Aitkin, Renville and Kittson. These
counties are in different congressional
districts and fairly representative of
all parts Of the state. Chisagp, Fari:
bault, Aitkfn, Renville and Kittson
counties are republican, Stearns is
democratic, while in Wabasha and
Mcleod counties the normal vote is
about evenly divided between the two
parties. In 1908 these townships gave
Taft 1920, Bryan 1,001, Debs and
Chain none. This year the regis.
tered vote is 3,114 and of these 3,109
were canvassed with the following re.

HELD ON STORY
|OF CONTRACTOR
Martin Momberg Has Italian
Arrested for Assault. e.

Charged with assaulting Martin
Momberg, a contractor of New Bruins
wick avenue because of a dispute
over renting some rooms, Jerry De
Salvo, thirty-three years old, of ATT
New Brunswick avenue, was held In
5000 bonds to await the action of the
grand jury when arraigned before
Acting Recorder James S. Wight last
night. Momberg told the court De
.Salvo might assault him again. He
was informed that If De Salvo threat
ened or bothered him in any way to
report to the court and another war
rant would be issued.
The defendant said he had paid
SO to Momberg for some rooms and
as the rooms had not been complet-
ed for occupancy he wanted his
money back, which he declares, Nom
berg would not give up.
