Tuesdays Election.

Next Tuesdays election really IL IN Inn
portant one, despite the fact that besides the
propositions only six names Will be on the
ballot presented to Rock Island voters Two
delegates to the state constitutional convention
are to be selected from the Thirty third soma
torial district. The duty of the successful men
will be to assist in the framing Of new basic
law for Illinois. On their shoulders will resi-
far greater responsibilities than are placed upon
the men who regularly represent the distrieA
in the legislature.
Republicans have named two candidates, C..
E. Dietz of Moline and Captain O. E. Carl
strom of Aledo. c. ]. Searle Of Rock Island.
who was defeated in the Republican primaries,
is running as an independent, charging that
he was made the victim of frameup. W. r.
Moore Of Moline Is the Democratic candidate.
Obviously there will be three candidates to
divide the Republican vote. That gives good
opportunity for the Democrats to elect their
man.
The constitutional convention should not in
any sense be a partisan body. 1t ought to
be above party considerations and minorities
ought to have isorne voice in It, Democrats
should turn out and support Mr. Moore Other
wise only the Republican party will have rep
resentation in this district.

true that an individual with gall

after eating this or that particular

Mr.. eeebold ssys that the ancient master

Usually the artist who Kets tho lob is the ons
who offers to do It tor the least money.
And the work should not be done By artists
at all, according to Mr.. Seebold. It should BEL

The most important OF these imperiled gov
eminent portraits are those Of the secretaries
of state and assistant secretaries Of state in
the state department those Of the attorney
generals In the department of Justice. and those
Of the secretaries Of war IN the war depart
ment It has long been the custom for the
incumbents Of these positions, upon retiring
to have their portraits painted at government
expense, and to leave them hanging On the
walls Of their Offices II il perquisite which
secretarial vanity has seldom been able to
forego Some men who held their Jobs only
a few weeks nonetheless left their likenesses
to gladden. posterity.
Some of these portraits are really master
pieces OF art and some OF them are master
pieces OF honor. All ofsfhem, Of course, have
great historical value, and viii have more and
more as time goes on They are really price
less things, and should be treated a. such.
One prominent Washington artist who was
asked how commissions for these portraits
were given out said that the pictures were DO
liticalN painted. In other words the artist is
chosen through pull or personal friendship, or
his ability to hatter. However. there seems
to be nothing particularly political about that
system. In all walks Of life artists are chosen
to paint portraits for tho same reasons.
