NINE TOR HOPKINS; 13 FOR DAWIS Leader lleluse to Desert Latter and Local Alan's Hopes Arc Blasted. Part of the Kock Island county delegation returned from the repub liesm state eonventioii on the early morning train today, haing left the capital before the business of the dav was all transacted. A few oth ers came at non, but a number went to Chicago and will not le home till tomorrow. It seems .to he the gen eral concensus of opinion among those who were on the ground that the ambition of Oeorge Y. Gamble to secure the nomination as clerk of tlu appellate court for the Second district were sacrificed entirely upon the senatorial altar. It is held that the race for the nomination was so close that a turn of the hand on the part of Hopkins was sufficient to de cide it. I.enl-rn Stand l'at The ihciiiIhts of the Kock Island county delegation who placed Mr. (iambic ahead of the senatorial prop osition did their best, when they saw that Dawes ease was hopeless, to in duce the other members to go solidly for Hopkins and thus give Mr. ('am ble at bast an equal standing before the machine with his opponents. How They Votml The majority of the dYlcgat ion from this count v, however, headed by C. II. Deere, Y. A. Meese and L. M. Magill, of Moline, refused to desert Daw cm and went down to oblivion, carrying Mr. Gamble with them. The Kock Island county delegates voted '. for Hopkins and IS for Dawes. It is asserted that Mr. Gamhk' in the first place hail the favor of Hopkins, but the complexion of the local bunch could not be overlooked.

Principal J. F. Darby, of the high school, is planning a vigorous cam paign for the spring and summer to secure as large an enrollment as pos sible in the freshman class of next fall.

The plan is to enlist not only the efforts of the high school teachers and high school pupils in the city to use their personal efforts among the members of this year's eighth grade. but to reach out to the country and make an effort to interest all those who successfully pass the finals in the rural schools and in the villages throughout the county.
