PHILLIPS WILL
NOT SHUT TOWN
UP ON SUNDAYS
MayOralty Candidate Declares He'll
Not Close Ice Cream and
Cigar Stores.
DENIES MAIL ORDER BUYING
Says Charge Made That He Buys
Household Goods Out of Town
is Not True.

W. N. Phillips, candidate for
mayor, will not close up the ice
cream parlors and cigar stores On
Sunday if he is elected.
He made this answer to what he
has termed is purely political prop
uganda being used against him, in a
statement he submitted to The
Argus for publication in view of
the fact that the Chamber of Com
merce public mass meeting was
yesterday postponed.
Mr. Phillips also denied another
charge made against him in the
campaign, relative to purchasing
household goods from mail order
houses. In his statement Mr.. Phil
lips says:
Not having had an opportunity
to publicly address you because of
the postponement of the mass
meeting called for last evening by
the Chamber of Commerce, 1 am
taking this opportunity of placing
before you my views on some of the
vital questions confronting Rock Is
Land at this time.
Rock Island, situated as it is be-
tween Davenport and Moline, has q
location that ought to make it the
leading city in this group of cities.
In my judgment, one of the prin-
ciple reasons for Rock Island not
taking her place as leader among
her sister cities, is because the
city's affairs have not been conduct
ed as to inspire our people to put
forth the necessary energy to make
Rock Island what it should be, or
to attract outside interests to us.
Before Rock Island takes her place
at the head of this group of cities,
it is my judgment that the city must
be SO cleaned as to make it better
city in which to live Therefore, in
the announcement of my platform
as the first principle enunciated,
stated that l stand for law enforce
ment and a clean city. By that
mean that the state laws and
municipal ordinances should be en-

result of pneumonia. following an attack
of grippe. The Bellingrr family former
ly resided in Erie, Mr.. Bellinger conduct

two years ago for Gaiesburg. where they
had made their home since During their
residence here Mrs. Bellinger was an
active member OF the Aid society Of the
Methodist church.
The Friendly Circle class of the Erie
Methodist Sunday school gave April
fool sociable Monday night At the church
There a large attendance and a good
time reported. Nearly all members OF
the class came dressed in fantastic cos
tunes indicative of the occasion. and the
program given was along the line OF an
April fool. Various stunts were perform
ed by the young people The delicious
luncheon served was free from all trick
cry, much to the surprise of thOse par
taking. An admission fee was charged
at the door. netting about $50.

forced, so that it would be safe for
women and children on our streets
at any time.
"If am elected mayor of this city
I shall put forth every ounce Of en-
ergy l possess in cooperation with
the commissioner elected, to the
end that the laws and ordinances
shall be enforced, placing part1cu-
lar emphasis upon the elimination
of boot1egging, houses prostitution
and gambling institutions from our
city. 1t is my candid judgment that
this city will not come into its own
until these barnacles of vice areere-
moved.
Adequate Protection.
Secondly: 1 stated in my plat
form that 1 stand for adequate fire
and police protection. The present
administration found it necessary
to close two fire stations and cor
responding reduction in the fire
department force which caused the
fire insurance companies to in
crease the rates of insurance, SO
that the people of Rock Island I'M
der the present rating will be re-
quired to pay approximately $4,000
per year in excess of that they were
paying under the old rate. I am,
therefore, in favor of the reopening
of those stations at the earliest date
possible, in order that the insurance
rates may be reduced and the peo-
pie again receive the greatest
amount of fire protection for the
money invested.
THE people of this city are en-
titled to adequate police protection,
and 1 shall use all the power have
on the incoming commission for
establishment of such police de-
partment as will give the people of
Rock Island the police protection
they are rightly entitled to.
81 am heartily in favor Of the sx-
pansion of the city until it takes in
the whole of South Rock Island
township and l shall favor the in
aguration of a system of local i'm
provements as will meet the grow
ing demands of the newly annexed
territory. 1t is my judgment that all
the people in the city are entitled
to ample water and sewer service

completion at an early date Of the
storm drain system already in
agurated. It is absolutely essential
to the health of a large portion Of
our people.
With reference to the matter of
paving, it is my judgment that all
streets leading into the city should
be paved as rapidly as possible, In
order that business may come to
our city and all other streets should
be paved as rapidly as the need of
the city demands and the financial
condition of the abutting property
owners will permit 1t is my opinion
that local improvements are very
essential to the proper develop
ments of our city and in this con-
nection, I want to say that I am

farms may continue to come into this
country free Of the usual restrictions
until the first Of the coming year, ac-
