ILLINOIS VICTORY
HAILED BY G. 0. P.
Results in Judicial Election Are
Declared to Show Trend
Toward Party.

Republican victory in the third
judicial district of Illinois was hailed
today BY @. o. p. leaders as Q clear
indication that the voters In the
Middle West are swinging back to their
old party moorings.
Walter T. Gum, Republican, was
elected justice Of the State Supreme
Court in the district in Mondays cleo
ton. His vote was &c, $50 to 66,775 for
Walter I. Mclaughlin. the Democratic
candidate. A Democratic Judge was
elected by vote Of $4,000 in this
district few years ago. and in 1896
the Democrats carried the district by
$4,000.
Springfield lies in the district, which
includes Is counties. The newly
elected justice halls from Danville,
vermillion County, which borders on
Indiana. During the campaign, 1t
was charged that Gov. Horner, back
ing Mr.. Mclaughlin, was trying to
pack" the State Supreme Court.
Richard J. Lyons, Republican NOM
inee for Senator in Illinois this year,
commenting on the victory Of Judge
Gum said: 1T Is clear the people
Of Illinois want no tampering with the
Supreme Court"

WA[TONS RENEW .
WAR
D. c. and Nearby Chapters
of League Commend Veto
of impractical Bill.

A second campaign to rid Wash
ington's waterways Of pollution was
begun last night when the WASH
ington Chapter, Izaak Walton League
of America, was host to five other
chapters In nearby Maryland and
Virginia at an outdoor meeting held
on the grounds of National Park
Seminary in Forest Glen, Md.
The league, although it has work.
ed for the last four years toward
passage of Federal pure streams bill.
passed q resolution commencing
President Roosevelt for vetoing this
week H. r. 27ll, bill dealing with
the matter.
The resolution described the bill
as passed by Congress as merely
another spending bill for investi-
CATION and research BY the United
States Public Health Service at r.
cost of a million dollars Annually."
Tbs resolution charged, generally,
that the bill contained no enforce
ment provisions sufacient to make 1t
practicable.
The resolution was introduced by
DR.. Lewis Radcliffe of Washington,
president of the Regional Council Of
the league. "-~
Campaign Outlined.
Speakers last night broadly out
lined the second campaign. which
is to be very similar to the one which
in a sense ended with the failure Of
the league to get bill favorable to
it presented to and passed by Con-
gress.
Clifford G. Presnall. assistant chief
of the wild life division of the Ma
tional Park Service, told the gather
ing that the contract for transferring
ownership Of the Chesapeake & Ohio
Canal from its receivers to the Fed
eral Government was now in the
hands Of the Secretary OF Interior and
that his signature now awaited "only
the Strengthening out Of few minor
details" As planned by the park
service. the canal from the District
to Seneca Greek, Md, would be used
solely as q fish preserve and for
canoeists.
A comprehensive map Of the nearby
Potomac Valley waterway system was
presented and described by its de-
signers, Abner Roe, chairman of the
Pollution Committee of the Bethesda
Chevy Chase Chapter of the league,
and John Stowell of the Washington
Chapter.
Grave Condition Seen.
Both Mr.. Roe and Mr. Stowell
said that while Rock Greek, in the
District, had been virtually cleared
Of pollution. a grave condition in
that regard still exists in the Potomac
River and the Eastern Branch be-
cause of impurities discharged into
the waterways farther upstream.
While specialists in the gathering
stated that through publication
Washington's water supply has been
made safe from disease caused by pol
luton, Mr.. Roe and Mr.. Stowell
pointed to the fact water surrounding
Washington Is still in such q condi-
tion the city has no beaches.
Other speakers included DR.. v. L.
Ellicott, Montgomery County, Md,
health officer; Edward F. Colladay,
former president of the Washington
Board of Trade, and President Roy
T. Davis of National Park Seminary.
The speakers were introduced by De
Witt Harry, president of the Wash
ington Chapter. 49,.

ately instead Of February next, when
the remaining provisions of the order
are effective.
The section in question directs the
commission to initiate, supervise and
enforce system as uniform as prac-
ticable for the recruitment, exa4sina-
tion, certification, promotion from
grade to grade, transfer and reinstate-
ment OF employees in the classified civil
service except those specially exempted.
1t adds that the system shall, so far
as practicable, be competitive, with due
regard to prior experience and service"
A commission committee Of under
officials was named to map q prograus
In accordance with the requirements,
and the same group, it was said, will
handle other problems rising in con-
nection with the orders.
Promotions Top Interest.
Particular interest, it Is felt, will
center on the ultimate recommended
tions governing promotions. inasmuch
as the new orders stress the principle
OF advancement in the service to build
up Government employment as . ca
reer service The idea Of promotion
examinations is not new, but so far
as is known they are conducted only
in the Civil Service Commission at
present to provide for its own staff.
The commission Is preparing to
branch into another field that prac-
tically is new as result of the pro-
vision of the orders for holding joint
examinations with State and local
agencies which request this co-opera-
ton. The only parallel to this was in
wartime, when the commission was so
hard pressed for stenographers and
typiSts that the commission used en-
ployment registers of some States
notably New York and New jersey
which are under civil service.
There are Is States now with civil
service systems, and under the new
plan the commission can cooperate
with these in holding examinations
which will be jointly financed and
which would make qualified applicants
eligible for either State or local ap-
pointments. 1t was expected such CO.
operation probably would be possible
only in those instances where the
commission was setting up Federal
registers for particular localities.
Queries Pour In.
Right now, State and many indus
trial and business concerns use COM
mission registers TO fill vacancies.
Meanwhile, queries continued to
pour into the commission as employees
and agencies sought light on angles
of the executive orders having particu-
lar bearing on their own interests,
One question that has arisen Is
whether, after thousands of employees
are blanketed into the classified serv-
ice, they would be on the same basis
in cases of reduction of force as per-
sons who came in under competitive
examinations. Unoficially it was said
longevity credits would give the en-
pioyes longest in service the advan-
tage where efficiency ratings are the
same. There would not, however, be
infiexible seniority standards.
