"It is ridiculous for him to point to enlarged powers of the state rail way and warehouse commission as a basis for credit, when he has placed at the head of that body a man of such disrepute and so servile a tool of the publio utility corporations of Illinois as Orville F.

"He pretended to be for civil service in public, but in secret he called the members of the legislature to bis offlce and told them that the merit system would 'kill the party.'

Evanston Council Will Meet in Special Session Next Tues- day to Discuss Filtration Plant Ordinance. / WILL COST $180fOe>0.00 One' hundred and eighty thousand dollars Is the amount decided upon by the water committee of the Evans- ton city council which is to be ex- pended in the betterment of the city water works system and the installa- tion of the sand filtration plant, which is designed to give to the citizens the pure water supply which has been so long demanded. Alderman Knapp, chairman of the water committee, introduced the regu- lation bond ordinancs into the city council Tuesday night and the mayor provided for Immediate action upon it by requesting a motion to have the counoil meet again in regular session nest Tuesday night, Oct. 29, which, being the fifth Tuesday in the month, would ordinarily, under the rules of the council, not be a meeting night Will Be Opposed. This ordinance will without doubt receive some opposition from certain sources, some of the aldermen being opposed to It on the ground that meters should be provided for In the same ordinance, but it is considered probable that the ordinance will pass and be submitted to the people for ratification at an early date. Economy. One thrifty woman spent a day DO NOT BET ON ELECTION OUTCOME Do not make any bets on the result of the coming election. If you do you will be liable of fine or imprisonment under the laws of the state of Illinois. Many Evanston people,- unintention ally have violated this statute, as many bets have been laid here. The following is the law in that respect, and It will be seen that It Is very drastic and depends only on the en forcement of It to make election gam- blers with they bad not offended: "Whoever bets or wagers any money, property or other valuable thing upon the result of an election which may be held under the const! tutlon or laws of tills state, or bets or wagers money, property, or other valuable thing upon the number of votes which may be given to any per- son at any election, or who will re- ceive the greatest number of votes at an election, or agrees to pay any other person any money, property or other valuable thing In the event that an election shall result In one way or In the event that any person shall or shall not be elected, or shall receive a greater number of votes than others, upon conviction thereof he shall be fined a sum not exceeding $1,000, or imprisoned In tbs county Jail not exceeding one year, or both, in the discretion of the court" t.'M.- rrytng- oa their heaas ^â€"j*- A pfliow-slip that was a mass IPnSJBSSSjaV-'. â€" g^iSSsl&tL-^-r^-i '-':.;- . ,'â-  taffifT: Mi' â-  . ......

Mr. Albright as we all know, is one of the leading artists of America. The day spent in bis studio among his masterpieces is one long to be remembered.

In SpeechpGovemor Said Party is Talkfngfor Direct Primary While Representing A(j. vftrse Movement. & Northwestern Railroad at Meeting RIDICULES DEWEY'SCUlMS'LEAVESON»NSP|Qtl6|iii Gov. peneen, in all of his Chicago #i>,'if:*i«j William A. Gardner of Evajaston was speeches Monday, severely criticised Thursday re^ the tactics of the third party state movement In Illinois. He declared that the Moose men are talking loudly for the direct primary and at the same time represent a movement In Illinois that flouts and ridicules the direct primary nominations. The governor denounced the an- nounced purpose of the state Moose leaders to elect a handful of members of the next legislature and effect a bipartisan or tri-partlsan combina- tion that wilt block all the legislative wheels. He foresees another scandal at Springfield under such a program. The governor charges that the Moose leaderl in Illinois, who are re- sponsible for the third party state ticket, have resorted t6 the old "soap box" methode of making nominations. He charged that they are the ones who are now repudiating the direct primary law In Illinois and are stand- ing sponsor'today for the "boss ridden, convention" system. In discussing the legislative situa- tion Gov. Deneen said: "I direct the attention of the voters of this»tate to the .situation regard- ing ear legislature Which the Bull Moose party is endeavoring to de- velop. They have nominated but a _____ handful of men for the general as-' Conway, sembly and claim that under the Assistant cumulative system of voting they can elect from nine to fifteen members of the house and thereby bold the bal- ance of power and prevent either the Republican or Democratic party hav- ing the majority necessary to organ- ize the house and enact legislation. "Here then is a new political party, calling itself progressive, which says that It does not present a platform hut offers a solemn contract to the people of this state ra which it pledges the enactment of thirty-seven meas- ures, nine of which are constitutional amendments/ by introducing chaos into the general assembly and block- ing the WheeUrftf legislative progress. 8ouflht to/divert Attention. . "This tain harmony with the whole career of the third party in our state. Its leaders clamored for the rule of the people and offered their candidacy to the voters of our state at the free primaries of April 9. "They clamor also for the initatlve and referendum. Their candidates were initiated by petition under the primary law and an adverse referen dum was had upon their candidates on April 9. "They inveighed against boss rule and Immediately adopted the soap box primary and convention system which had been long ago discarded by the politicians and prohibited by the law of our state to political parties.** State Chairman Roy O. West last night ridiculed the claims mads by CoL Cbauncey Dewey that the Moose state ticket wonld carry seventy-eight counties in Illinois. Mr. West's somewhat caustic re- marks follow: "The report by the chairmen of seventy-eight counties of the Bull Moose state party published In Mon- day's paper should have been pub- lished in the joke column. Their names reveal the character of the Bull Moose state organisation In Illi- nois.

WAHTSWSTOL SALE STOPPED Coroner Peter M. Hoffman Thursday called attention to a portion of bis last quadrennial report which, if in- corporated in state laws, would go a long way toward preventing attempts on the lives of cltisens such aa that made at Milwaukee by John Schrask. An excerpt from the report reads: "An examination of the statistics on suicides and homicides shows 17 per cent of the former and 6$ per cent of the latter are caused by firearms. Aside from the murders committed by certala classes of our alien popula- tion, the carrying of concealed weap- ons is directly responsible for the ma- jority of homicides. "I would recommend the searching of persons reasonably suspected of car- rying dangerous weapons contrary to the law, and a faithful and sustained effort on the part of our Judiciary to- ward giving out summary and drastic justice to offenders."___________„_.
