REPUBLICAN IS =
LEWIS BOOSTER
C. r. Gillespie, Former Assistant
Attorney General. Gives Rea-
sons for His Choice.

Springfield, Ill. Oct 29.-George
B. Gillespie, one OF the most prom
inent attorneys in central Illinois
and a lifelong Republican, today
declared that be would support
! United States Senator James Ham
iIton Lewis for reelection He said
he could not support MedaI Nc
Cormick because the latter was
neither representative Of the state
nor the Republican party.
L would do violence to the Re
publican party if l voted for Nc
Cormick," declares Attorney Gil
lespie.
This positive Utterance will car
ry great weight throughout the state
because Attorney Gillespie is a rep
lresentative Illinois Republican. He
was assistant attorney general of
Illinois under the late Attorney
General Rowland J. Hamlin for
four years, and served in that ca
pacity during the year 1905 under
the late Attorney General William
H. Stead Attorney Gillespie is not
a politician, but speaks as a repre-
sentative citizen and Republican.
He is intensely interested in the
success Of the war HIS two sons
entered the service early in the
conflict. One son was killed in an
accident at Houston, Texas. The
other son is now a lieutenant, haV-
ing seen active service in France.
In brief interview today Attor-
ney Gillespie said:
Il have always been Republi-
can and expect to continue to vote
the Republican ticket when funda
mental party principles are at is
sue, but I shall not support Medill
Mccormick for United States sena-
tor because his political record
gives no assurance that he is a sin
Cere Republican and in accord with
the principles and traditions Of the
party
after. the failure of the Pro
gressiye party he returned to the
Republican party as a candidate fOrs
Office and has been a candidate ever
since.
Il am not personally acquainted
with Mr.. Mccormick. but have OBJ
served his political career since he
has been seeking Office. IT has been
chiefly one Of opposition to Bepub-
lican candidates and Republican
principles. I also know something
Of his personal character

Hamilton Lewis and know him as

IA Not Interested in Parties or Can
didates They Certainly Are
in Proposition.

Three important issues will face
the voter who goes to the polls
Tuesday TO carry out his duties as
a citizen. Lack Of interest in par
ties or candidates for office will not
excuse hGSitanCy to take time and
trouble TO cast a ballot. for there
are other issues to be decided
In addition to the regular ballot,
q proposition Will be handed each
voter upon which will be presented
three proposals, any one of which
IS Of sufficient importance to be
made q major feature OF a campaign
IN years when q political contest is
not playing side show TO a world
war Here are the questions:
Shall bond issue Of S60,000.-
600 be authorized for construc-.
ton of hard surfaced highways
in IllinO.sT
Shall the general banking act
be so amended as to place all
private banks under state su-
perv.sion?
Shall 4 convention be called
TO prepare revision, alteration
or amendment of the constitu-
tiCn OF the state Of Illinois?
For enlightenment Of the voter as

Tosa.s. statements and suggestions

the several polling places of the

Proponents OF the road bond is

education with the purpose of over

issue and in all parts Of the state

rf election. What the advocates
fear most is that the proposal may

her of persons voting upon it at all.
THE bond issue will not be author

approval Of q majority Of the votes
cast for mem bers of the general as

Though IL may have more afHTma-
tive than negative votes. il will not

the required number Of affirmative
votes. which depends upon the mum
her of votes cast for members of
the general assembly.
Second on the proposition ballot
IS the proposal to amend the gen
CraI banking law.
The revision provides that no
less than three persons may organ
5ze for such business; that each di-
rector must have filed with the
cashier at least 10 shares of the
capital stock Of such bank, I'M
endorsed and unassigned during his
term rs director.
Amount Of the minimum capital
stock is fixed according to the size
Of the city or village. the lowest
figure being 500 if not within
any city, town, or incorporated vii
laEe.
Examination Of such banks is
provided for, and the intent of the
law IS to safeguard the people
against loss by failure Of the pri-
waite banker, and yet to allow the
honest small banker TO take care

the matter of loans.

CITY'S APPEAL
STILL PENDING
Interstate Commerce Commission
Wrongly Advised Regarding Ex-
press Delivery Agreement.

! At the regular weekly session of
the Rock Island city commissioners
yesterday afternoon a letter was
read from the Interstate commerce
. commission, which caused consid-
cradle comment, due to evident mis-
understanding OF the city's desire
for adequate express service in
Rock Island.
The city commissioners for some
time have been endeavoring to get
. express deliveries extended to all
parts OF the city. Service south Of
Eighteenth avenue never has been
given.
The commission says it has been
informed from express company
sources that the commissioners
have agreed TO an offer to increase
the delivery zone from Eighteenth
avenue to Twentieth avenue II
this be true, it is pointed out there
Will be nothing for the commission
TO do. In case such an agreement
has not been reached the city is no
t4lCI ~ ST 6uflSe LIiC COMMISSION
The matter was taken I'D with
the commission by the city some
time ago after a resolution submit
ted by Mayor McConochie was
adopted providing for such action.
The city holds that the Illinois
state laws provide that all utility
companies shall furnish fair and
uniform service to all citizens alike
within the cities in which they are
doing business.
Express company officials ap
peared at the city hall some time
ago and offered to extend the zone
from Eighteenth to Twentieth ave
nues, but this offer was not ac-
cepted.
An ordinance was adopted vester-
day providing for the annexation or
a small plot of ground in the vicin
ity of Eighteenth avenue and Thir-
ty-ninth street.
