WATCHING THE OTHER SIDE
Caucus to Have Been He.: - Called
of and Meeting is Announced
for Tonight.

Administration delegates to the
Woodmen convention tomorrow were
inclined to take things easy during the
day While the insurgents were in
caucuses and otherwise so busily en-
gagged that they were unable to get
far away from the lobby of the Rock
Island house, the administration men
strolled about the city or sat in the
New Harper smoking and chatting.
There was little campaigning being
done by candidates and no caucusing.
There are but three avowed candi-
dates on the administration side, 5. s.
Tanner of MINER, ILL.,, for reelection
as director; o. a. Aleshire of Chicago,
for head banker, and James McNam-
ara of this city for head clerk. As no
two were seeking the same office there
was no occasion for activity in the
state camp However, all maintained
omen Headquarters in the hotel.
The administration leaders appear
cd 10 take the position that it was the
insurgents next move. At first II was
intended to hold a caucus late last
night but during the evening it was
called off and it was given out that
the meeting would not be held till this
evening.
At o'clock this afternoon most OF
the administration delegates were
taken for a tour of the three cities and
surrounding points of interest in autos
nrovided by Rock Island business men,

however. choose TO regard this as en-

IT DIFFICULT TO
HOLDCANDIDATES
Desire for Endorsement by
State Camp Main Obstacle
to Complete Harmony.
MANY ARE IN THE FIELD
Number of Districts Hold csucuses
During the Morning but Results
Are Kept Secret.

Solution of the problems facing the
Woodmen insurgents in the prelimi-
naries to tomorrow's convention is
complicated by the infiicting interests
of a large number of candidates. Some
of these appeared today unwilling to
take their chances before a state COM
mite and insisted upon the usual call
of congressional districts for the nam
ing of delegates to the head camp.
Bringing of these men together was
the herculean task which confronted
the disinterested leaders of the fac
ton.
The candidates in the insurgent
wing, as we'll as those on the other
side, were early on the ground, most
of them coming last night. Among
them are Ebert s. Smith of Spring
field, former attorney general of the
state of Illinois and the attorney who
led the legal fight in Illinois against
the Chicago rates. He and his friends
played an important part in today's
proceedings. Mr.. Smith is a candidate
for head consul.
MarseiIles, ILL.,, editor of the True
Woodman, and who is an avowed can
didate for director, but who prefers
it is said. the position of editor of the
official publication.
Senator NJ. II. Cleary of Galena is
out for head consul. also, it is under
stood, while among the other candi-
dates not so we'll known are DR.. Frank
Harrel of Cairo, \. =. Woodwork of
Macomb, John Poll of Danville, and S.
A. Mayme of Mt. Carroll, all for direc-
tor For the Office of head clerk there
are S X Hughes of Champaign, and
Theodore Hamer of Woodstock. A
dark horse candidate for this office is
suggested in some quarters, but there
is said to be little probability OF his
appearance before the state camp for
various reasons. J. H. Brown OF
Quincy is working to land the endorse
ment for head banker.

Last evening the hotels were well

arriving today made il necessary to
find other accommodations for them.

local members, while few found quar-

Prospects this afternoon were that
the state camp of the Modern Wood
men to open at 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning at the Empire theatre, would
be a repetition of the recent Rock Is
land county camp. In that camp the
insurgents had a majority of the dele

Insurgents, on the other hand, said

One leader said that the disposition

surgent side that there should be no
endorsements of any candidates. The
reasons given were that insurgent
Woodmen should not enter into. a
scramble for office until the battle
they are fighting has been definitely
won. II was pointed out that it would
he dangerous to permit bitterness to
develop among defeated candidates at
this critical time.
At its meeting last September the
executive committee of the Illinois
Woodmen assembly voted that no
member of that committee should be
a candidate for any Office until the is
sues at stake should have been finally
decided. If there are to be endorse
ments at this camp then several men,
bers of that committee, it is stated.
will probably present their names for
some form of endorsement of their
work, and the majority members of
the committee still insist that the
time for formal entries in the fight
for office has not arrived. They say
that a fight for office in advance of the
convention is just what the admins
tration forces desire to see.
This was one of the leading ques-
tons to be taken up in the caucus at
the Odd Fellows hall this afternoon.
Claim Committee Control.
A meeting of the insurgent leaders
was held in the Rock Island house

naries of the insurgent organization of

GRADUATION AT CASTINE.

The graduating exercises OF the
Castine Normal school were held June 23d
at the Normal Building. AS the class
was the largest ever graduated from this
school, it made the number of relatives
and friends present far larger than ever
before, every department OF the large
building being filled to its capacity,
and most interesting teaching exercises
were listened to. The Domestic Science
department between the hours of 10 and
IL was crowded, they having the op-
portunity of seeing the D. Glass, prepare
fruit salad, sponge pudding and cream
cakes. The class worked with ease and
showed great amount of interest in
their work. Their cooking came out
first-class, and those present had the
chance of sampling the dainties. Other
departments visited were full of interest.
The children's rooms all proved interest
ing; the little folks all arrayed in their
best with their bright faces and ready
answers were most attractive. During
the day a large chorus made up of stu
dents. conducted by DR.. Philbrook,
furnished fine singing.
At Emerson Hall in the evening the
following exercises were carried out
most successfully. March; prayer; music;
