NEAR STOP RULE
EFFECTIVE TODAY

The near side stop rule for street
cars was inaugurated in Rock Island
and Moline today, and although there
was considerable confusion, il is be
lieved that the public will soon be
come accustomed and favorable TO the
change.
In spite Of the publicity given to
the matter in the daily papers. there
were many people who failed TO re-
member the frequent admonitions and
consequently we're compelled to cross
the street to board their cars. It
was taken good naturedly, however,
by the majority Of citizens, and with
in a few days it is believed that the
people will have become accustomed
to the near side stop rule.
On all paved streets and avenues
parable 10 the car line, the cars will
stop on the near side, but where it is
unpayed or where merely a paved
street intersects the car line, the
stop will be made as IN the past.

FIGHT IN CAMP
OF REPUBLICAN
PARTY BEGINS
Bull Moosers Who Are Trying to
Rule the G.. o. P. Not to
Receive Glad Hand.

A hot time is promised in the re-
publican camp when the delegates to
the township convention gather at
Turner hall Monday evening. The
cause is the effort Of many bull moos-
ers to return 10 the fold The straight
republicans, who stood BY Taft in
the recent general election, have not
forgotten the things that the Roose-
velt supports said OF the once z. o. D..
and they are not extending the glad
hand to the followers of Teddy, who
are seeking TO get back in the party
which they so recently declared rot
ten and corrupt.
At conference of some prominent
regulars" today, the matter was gone
over thoroughly and plans aid, which,
il carried out. viii precipitate a fight
on the convention floor. The idea
is to read out OF the party those who
were loudest in their denunciation of
it before the November election. This
would be q difficult matter were II
not for the fact that many Of the men
who are now seeking 10 run the re-
publican party, were so indiscreet as
10 sign the great and only bull moose
CALI which resulted in the formation
of local branch to Teddy's organiZa.
ton Naturally this list furnishes pref.
! " conclusive proof as to the loyalty
or rather disloyalty of a large mum
Der of men who now claim to be the
back bone Of the party and it is like
~ that this list will be produced
Monday night
The regulars are not going TO let
the bull mooses run things without
first eating little humble pie.
Furthermore, there is a fight or
against some of the candidates whC
are seeking the party nomination. Sev
eral Of these including a candidate fol
supervisor, one for justice Of the peace
and one for constable, signed the bul
moose call. Constable Simon Cold
burg has also incurred the displeasur'
of a faction of his party and there
is an earnest fight to prevent his re
nomination. Altogether it looks a
though big dofngs are 10 occur a

not beyond the realm of possibilit.
that the local party masters viii ge
out their whips and beat the belligeT
