7?6--1 i PACE TWO Well Known Pioneer Succumbs Less Than Year Following Wife's Passing. Word reached Waukegan loday «/ the death on Wednesday in . Mell} bourne, Fla., of "Cy" Porter, a Wau: kegan man who moved from here to Florida about ten years ago and who was among Waukegan's best known pioneer residents. He was in his seventies and according to friends had been failing for some time. The remains will arrive in Wauke gan Sunday for burial during the morning. It probably will be a Ma-- sonic funeral. Mr. Porter's wite died last fall and ber remaing were brought here and buried. _A daughter, Nellie, died some years ago and was also Duried bere. Mr. Porter will be laid to rest with the other members of his fami-- ly. The only surviving member now is Mrs. Grace Bean, daughter of a physician practicing in Mellbourne. Mr. Porter was an uncle to Miss Lot-- tie Porter of Waukegan. It was Mr. Porter and his niece, Lottie, who owned the big buiiding on Genesee street occupiedl by Doolittle and Whyte, and it is 'recalled that some time ago Mr. Porter sold his interest to Meyer and Miller, local men who now hbhave title to the prop-- erty. The Porters lived :n Waukegan for many years, their bhome being that mow occupied by Mrs. Nelfie Conrau on North sheridan road. The iamily moved from bhere to Florida about ten years ago and con tinued their residence there since. In conjunction with his death it is recalled that only a few weeks ago the Miami Herald printed a pictu.e the caption of which was "a recent wonderful catch." in that picture were four Waukegan men. John _F. Powell, former mayor, E. W. Hutch-- ins, former mayor, George R. Lyon, former representative in the Legis-- lature, and Mr. Porter. The fifth man was a young man who now lives in Florida and is the only surviving member of that party as a result of Mr. Porier's passing. The picture shows these men aboard the > old schooner, which Mr. Powel} built in Waukegan and transported to Fiorida for use when he was down there win-- tering. BIDS OPENED FOR > GURNEE PAVING In the years gone byvtbe family names oi Porter, Hutchins, Lyon, Po-- well etc., were synonomous with Waukezgan's sociat and business ac-- tivities. Mr. Porter's passing thus brings to an end an active life up to his retirement about three years ago. He was engaged in the real estate business for years and also did con-- siderable traveling, representing a big Chicago firm. Bids were opened Monday for the paving of 1100 feet on Grand av<nue at the Gurnee subway. Darrow & Barron, Waukegan, submitted a bid of $9,555 and that of Pickus Engi-- meering and Construction company The picture was taken w~enty--ftive years ago and was made quite a fea-- ture by the Herald as it recalled early day fishing in that territory and show:-- ed a black sea bass weighing about 450 pounds. CY" PORTER IS DEAD IN FLORIDA was $12,946. The bids were taken under advisement by the county su-- perintendent of highways and road and bridge committee, pending confer ence with the state officials. BURIED HERE SUN. Ree Motor Co.

We ask you-- for your own sake--to give it a trial y8 Libertyville, Illinois 'GIUI ETK 4 & Livxingf Motor oi adhams ,-- Washington, July 9..--Now: that it has been definitely settled that there will be three political parties in the contest for the Presidency of the United States, the question agitating the minds of political leaders is "what will L&aFollette do?" Jt is quite natur-- al that some apprehension should be felt as the political situation becomes more chaotic and uncertain. It is not a question ag to the ability of the Wis-- consin Senator to win by popular vote, but more of a matter of damage that his candidacy would inflict upon the two major parties. It is said that the prime motive of LaFollette is to cap-- italize the discontent evident in the conventions of the+ Republican and Democratic parties with the hope of reinforcing his hold on Congress theu the development of the bloc system. According to well--informed political observers, the third party movement, under the leadership of Senator La-- Follette, is based upon the assumption that the farmers and the labor elé-- ment will combine, especially in the Northwest and Western states. It is doubtful whether labor, as an Organ-- ized body, would lend its support to Mr. LaFollette. Samuel Gompers, President of the American Federation of Labor, is against a third party movement. Friends of LaFollette say thit Gompers represents only one branch of union labor. It is difficult to say what the farmers of America will do for the LaFollette ticket. It is apparent that LaFollette intends to set. up the machinery for the third party, although he insists upen desig-- nating his candidacy as "an independ-- ent progressive." He complains of the iniquities of big business and protests that the people have inadequate secur-- ities against the tyrannies of a few. The political theories advocated by \the Senator are nothing new, but are ~obviously designed to attract votes from other camps. Nobody believes for a moment--that the questioning of probity of public officers and attack:-- ing business interests by --Mr. LaFol-- lette will agitate the people fufficient-- ty to .produce political convulsions in November. j While it is true that the average part yworker, with his interests cen-- tered primarily in local affairs, at-- ' taches little significance to the LaFol-- lette campaign, it is significant to note that he national leaders are not blind to the danger of a strong independent ticket. The National Republican, a lseml-omcial organ of the Republican party, is giving considerable attention to the problem. Discussing the ques-- tion, "Will LaFollette be a liability or an asset", the former secretary of the Republican National Committee says: "The effect of the LaFollette candi-- dacy, should it assume formidable pro-- portions and not turn out to be a "dud", might be to keep the doubtful states of Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota and possibly Nebraska out of the Republican col-- umn. In such case it would probably also carry Montana out of the Demo-- cratic column. The Democratic poli-- ticians who have been thinking only of agrarian discontent in the North west have overlooked the probablé ef-- fect of the third party movement on the industrial vote which the profes-- sional labor pqliticians have been de-- livering to the Democratic party for the past ten years. Through this over-- sight they Wave been led into the folly of feeding a snake that may fatally bite them before© the campaign is over." It is easy to perceive that the chief concern of the Democratic and Repub-- lican leaders is on the number of elec-- toral votes which may possibly fall in-- the hands of LaFollette and throw the élection into Congress.-- Situations of NATIONAL Ti¥ EDITORIAL SUSTAI 1924 ASSOCIATION 1924 this kind bave been known in Ameri-- can history, but always deplored as inimical to party interests. .. It is conceded that no party can boast of harmony, as considerable dif-- ferentes have developed among the followers of the three prlnc't!{l con-- testants for the Presidency. e prin-- cipal difficulty at present is to smooth over the bitterness developed by fac-- tional spirit at the conventions. The leaders are hopeful that they can keep the controversy within the confines of a family quarrel with a view to the success of the party in the November elections. As one distinguished polit-- ical observer put it, the American elec-- tion period is a time when "ardour of faction is redoubled; and all the &rti-- ficial passions which the imagination can create in the bosom of a happy and peaceful land are agitated and brought to life." elections.
