Little Whskers. the urbane and
Senator from Illinois. whose term ex.
pires year after next, Is back In Chi.
cago TO spend the holidays.
With the rapidly coming senatorial
dgh, in mind he is anxious to see the
Democrats getting together.
While In Washington he had a con.
ference with Roger G. sullivan and
George L. Brennan. who were In the
capital for the purpose Of securing
the Democratic national convention
for Chicago.
Little Whiskers urged upon these
two gentlemen the necessity for
peace, although as both of them
strongly favored Wilson. the reason
for a sudden powwow was not easily
made plain.
Sullivan said that he had no oh.
lection to u joint ticket, providing
Carter Harrison was left off the list
of delegates at large.
He said that he would not stand
for Harrison for anything.
He denounced Harrison as a trai.
tor and declared that the action OF
the Harrison party In supporting
Thompson for mayor last spring put
him outside Of the Democratic party.
Little Whiskers Is not the kind of
an Indian Chief who gives up easily.
Good nature Is strong weapon OF
his when honOrs are In sight, so when
you read the following interview Civ.
on out by him in Chicago, you can
draw your own conclusions:
The prospects are bright for an
agreement by which both elements OF
the party shall be represented among
the delegates to the national conven-
ton" he said. with one set Of dele
gates running. The eight delegates
at.large easily could be divided, for
instance, between such representative
leaders as Carter II. Harrison and
Roger &. Sullivan.
"The Illinois delegation will be
solid for Mr.. Wilson, and ! believe
matters can be arranged so that only
one set will be nominated In each
Congressional district. The proposal
to give united party support ia
those state and county officers who
desire denomination also probably
will meet with favor all around"
