The news dispatches tell US that Mr..
", G. McAdoo has announced that he
will be candidate for president in 1924.
This would seem to put Mr.. Cox out of
the running. Mr.. Wilson's influence will
doubtless be exerted in favor of son-in-
law William. We think the next DEM
ocratic national convention will look
further. The league of nations will
never again be party slogan and this
generation of men will never forget how
William G. McAdoo mismanaged the

NOVELTY PROGRAM

A celebrities" program will be
presented at the Fort Armstrong
theatre Feb. 81, under the auspices
Of the Tri-City Musical association,
which sponsored a similar program
with so much success at the Capt.
toll theatre in Davenport. The af-
fair was decided upon as means
for making more money to pay the
biennial debt, which has now di-
minished to not quite 81 900, at a
meeting of the association held last
night at the music center. Local
musicians will appear on the pro-
gram, and some novel features will
be planned by the committee which
Mrs. J. J. Dorgan, the association
president, is to appoint in few
days.
Final plans were completed for
the concert to be given March 20

WATER LEAK IS
HARD TO REACH
Solid Rock in Street Forcing Work
ers to Tunnel Under Car
Tracks to Follow Main.

Location of leak in mains OF
Twentieth street, between Fifth
and Sixth avenues is puzzling water
works department crews. The
break in the pipe came Sunday and
water gushed over the pavement he
tween Fourth and Fifth avenues
and froze. This condition has
been fairly well cleaned up and
there has been a great amount OF
digging in an effort to locate the
leak, but this has been unsuccess-
full. The water gushes up between
the curbing and the sidewalk, and
it was thought at first that 1t was a
service pipe leak and not a big
feed main. An effort to dig down
over the leak failed when solid rock
was reached Points were then
picked near the curbing and the
men managed to get down to suf-
ficient depth to ascertain that the
leak was not coming from service
pipes.
Digging into the street is impos-
sible because of solid rock under
meath the pavement and 1t IS esti-
mated that it would take month 10
blast a way through.
Several ties have been torn out of
the street car track and workers
started this morning going through
two feet of concrete that is laid
over the old ditch. The purpose is
to get underneath the tracks and
then workers will tunnel in both
directions until they can find tue
leak, which is not only wasting
thousands of gallons of water, but
also causing discomfort and danger
to traffic. The water main, sur
rounded by almost solid rock and
covered with asphalt paving, is
forcing the water to the surface IS
feet from the nearest point to the
main and the leak may be many
feet farther away.

ROCK ISLAND Is
VET COMMISSION
GOVERNED CITY

Rock Island was the second city
In Illinois to adopt the commits
sion form OF government, Instituted
in this state a little over 10 years
ago. This city adopted the plan
Jan. 3, 1911, one day after the CAPT
tai city had inaugurated it.
Moline, which voted for the COM
mission form simultaneously with
Rock Island, has since returned to
a government by aldermen.
Sixty-five Illinois cities and vii
lagos have adopted the commission
form Of government since Jan. 2,
1911.
After its adoption by Springfield,
Rock Island and Moline, 16 other
cities followed in 1911.
Only a few cities in this section
of the state have accepted that
form of municipal control. Ke-
vance adopted it Jan. "a, 1911, and
Sterling accepted the commission
plan Jan 2, 1915.

APRIL BALLOTS
NOT SEPARATED
Mems and W0men's Primary Votes
Counted TOgother-Ends In
teresting Feature.

Women voters of Illinois will
have no separate ballots in the pri-
maries and elections this year.
The same ballot boxes at each
polling place will be used for men $
and women's ballots. The day OF
tabulating the male and female vote
separately has passed unless the
laws of franchise are changed.
This is the word sent out from
Attorney General Brundage's office
in reply to more than 100 inquiries
many from county clerks-during
the past week.
Despite legislation by the Sind
general assembly to end confusion
over the manner of casting and
counting the women's vote, many
county clerks and election Off
Gals hesitated before ordering only
one kind of ballot for the com
ing primaries They put the Ques-
ton up to the attorney general
again.
Laws enacted last year have
settled the matter" said Clarence
]. Boord. chief assistant to the az
torney general.
Complete enfranchisement of wo-
men and adoption of laws providing
that their ballots and ballot boxes
should be the same as those used
by men ended an interesting cleo
ton feature.
In years past politicians. through
the separation of ballots. have been
able to diagnose accurately the ef-
feet of the female vote. After fu-
ture elections determination of how
the women voted will be more a
matter of deduction.

WAGNER BUYERS
ORGANIZE GROUP
Eastern Committee Extends Its
Operation to Western Ac-
counts, Also.

Local customers of E. ". Wag-
ner & Co. were interested to learn
today that the customers reclama-
ton committee organized recently
in New York city by former Gus
toners who were outright owners
of securities or had purchased Sc
curities on margin, has extended
its activities to the Chicago and
other western offices of the alleged
bankrupt stock brokerage firm, in
Guiding those in this city.
The committee is inviting all for
mer customers of E. w. Wagner 6
Co. to avail themselves of the serv-
ices of the organization for the pro-
lection of their individual interests.
1t believes that by the prompt es-
adjustment of rights and claims,
recovery can be made from the re-
ceiver of all such securities upon
payment OF the debit balance due
Wagner G. Co, or to recover their
proceeds if the securities have been
sold.
1t is pointed out that by joining
their interests, the customers rep
resented in the committee will not
only minimize the expense neces>
sarily involved, but will increase
the effectiveness of such action as
is taken.
The committee was originally or
ganized to handle only the accounts
Of New York customers, but upon
the insistent demand of western
customers has consented to extend
its activities to include them also.
Arrangements have been made
with the Chicago Title & Trust
company TO have that organization
act as its depositary in Chicago,
