Blow at Cox Faction.
Entirely aside from the merits
of the controversy the request by
Mr.. Wilson OF the St Louis Globe
Democrat that his letter of denial
be given publicity is taken to mean
that the former president has not
forgotten his old foes and that he
will take as much of a part as he
can in preventing their renomina-
ton and reelection. In the Demo-
cratic national convention at San
Francisco in 1890 friends OF M.
Wilson succeeded in preventing
Mr. Reed from being seated as il
delegate and while the Cox wing OF
the party favored Reed and voted
to seat him, Mr.. Wilson's support
ers fought successfully against it.
This is the second blow in a week
therefore that Mr.. Wilson has de-
livered against the Cox faction IN
the Democratic party whilst Mr..
Cox himself is making speeches in
praise, of the League of Nations
and the Wilson foreign policy.

calamity to Rock Islands business
center that possibly may happen
unless our city prepares the IWen-
ty-fourth street bridge approach so
as to relieve the congestion al
ready manifest and that IN the near
future will be multiplied oy the
DETECTION OF Lincoln highway trai-
&c and the travel of other COM

The late road meeting at Des

Davenport to Omaha wider than
the Lincoln highway and at least
so miles shorter, and an Garner
completion than the road from
Omaha to Clinton Traffic through
the latter city will be handicapped
by the rickety toll bridge at Gin
ton, by the scarcity there of hotel
accommodations and by the longer
route, all of which handicaps VIII
defect the travel over the Rock Is
land bridge. Our handicaps Will
be the difficulty of routing this
traffic to the bridge through the IN
adequate arteries of Moline.
Would it not then be prudent not
only to widen Twenty-fourth street
but also to build at the same time
the low grade avenue, up the pow
der house ravine, as contem plated
by the city plan, so that travel over
the Colona bridge may not be i'm
peded by the narrow and congested
streets of Moline, and may come
westward over the Colona road and
through south Moline2
We now have ample warning and
should be wise enough to insure
our safety.

nestle character Mr.. Reed was at
the side of Mr.. Wilson.
Other parts of the former presi-
dents communication to the ST
Louis Globe-Democrat have occa-
stoned much comment here. Many
of those who Knew Mr. Wilson in
the old days are wondering wheth-
er he could have employed such Sc
we're language to United States
senator. especially a man of Mr.
Reeds temperament, without de-
Veloping controversy then and
there which would have made
Washington f1utter with excite

Wilson is confusing some of the
thoughts he had or expressions he
may have used in later days in dis
cussing Mr.. Reeds course in the
senate with what he said on the
day of their October conference.
Senator Not DispIeaSed.
The senator from Missouri is not
displeased with what has occurred.
The contradiction between Mr.
wilson's letter of October, 1913,
and his letter to the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat of April Is, 1922,
will be exhibited in the campaign
as an evidence of Mr. Wilson's in
consistency. Senator Reed had
many differences with Mr.. Wilson.

f1rmation of Thomas D. Jones OF
