Chicago, Jan 3-The conspiracy of reactionary forces in Illinois to pre- vent Len Small from serving another term as governor of this state assumes different aspects almost daily.
 The conspirators now have it all figured out based on the opinion of national known lawyer" that the whole matter can be decided without giving the legislature a voice in the decision. They are now relying on favorable decision by Judge Frank Burton of the District Court at Spring field, after which they will carry the matter to the State Supreme Court, where they seem to be certain they can obtain an custer against the gov ernor, which would avoid the necessity the legislature.

To have elected any of these three would have meant that either of two outstanding figures in the Federation-Mr. John L. Lew1s of the Mine WolKers, or Mr. William H.
