w. F. Moore's Chances,

Democrats of the Thirty-third senatorial
district have good chance to elect their can
didate for member Of the state constitutional
convention, W. r. Moore of Moline Dissen-
sions in the Republican party which have re-
suited from the Independent candidacy OF c.
& ]. Searle OF this city probably will split the
support Of the majority party in the district
three ways and give the minority chance to
secure representation. This, after all, is a
desirable outcome. since it will better serve
the interests of all the people
w. r. Moore is able lawyer, conscen-
tious one and not affiliated with corporate or
other interests in q way to impair his useful
ness. In length Of service in the district he
outranks any Of the other nominees.
If the Democrats stick together in this fight
they should win representation in the con-
vention. The object surely is worth a little
extra effort.
