were stabbed or slashed with sabers or
machetes both before and after they
died. Swords also were used by the
bandits. c. r. Watson. the leader OF

through the body after death, and
Alexander Hall died from bayonet

WILLIAMS QUITS
GOVERNOR FIGHT
Congressman at Large Says Duties at
Capital Makes it Impossible for
Him to Stay in Race.
CREATES JOY IN DUNE CAMP
Raymond Robins is Discussed as Pos
sibIe Democratic Candidate for
the Nomination.

| Congressman at Large William Eliza
Williams of Pittsfeld yesterday for
mally withdrew from the race for the
democratic nomination for governor.
/ His withdrawal was incorporated IL
letter sent to Roger c. Sullivan, at
Chicago, in which he says his duties at
Washington make it impossible for
him TO continue the primary fight
| against Governor Dunno.
The Dunno people hailed the letter
as an indication that all factions will
be together behind the state admins
tration and that the governor will have
no serious opposition in the primary.
Sullivan leaders, however, insisted
that Williams withdrawal meant just
the opposite of the construction placed
on it by the Dunno forces.
Mr.. SulliVan'S intimate friends de-
clared Williams got out of the race
that the anti-Dunne faction might CEN
ter on one man against the governor.
In this connection several names were
given out as available timber from
which to select a man on whom they
can center their support in opposing
the governor.
Among these are Raymond Robins,
recent chairman and keyncter of the
progressive national convention; Cir
cult Court Clerk John ". Rainey of
Chicago; Bruce Campbell of East ST
Louis, and several downstate mer.
Robins Considered Strong.
Raymond Robins was discussed by
the real Sullivan men as the strongest
candidate they could back, provided
Mr.. Robins would accept. They fig
ure that Robins and Sullivan together
in the 1914 senatorial battle rounded
up thousands of more votes than Sen
atoF Sherman and the republicans. and
that II these two follOwings could be
united this time there would be some
chance for Robins 10 win.
Robins is going TO be with Wilson,"
said one Sullivan spokesman last
night. Wilson is not going TO be an
easy man to beat. Right now he looks
as good as elected. Robins would not
only have the support of the national
administration, but he would bring ID
his support most OF the progressive
votes of Illinois"
As soon as friends of Governor
Dunno in Washington learned Will
iiams had withdrawn from the guber-
material contest they urged him To go
on the ticket for congressman at large
again They promised To support him
for that place
Senator Lewis called on him and
promised that the entire Lewis-D Dunno
Harrison organization would get back
or him both for the nomination and
election. The congressman said he
would give their suggestion careful at
