ONLY A QUESTION
OF POLITICAL NERVE
So-Called Republican Reform Ele
ment lias Power to Oust the
Kerens Faction.
COMPLIMENTS FOR FILLEY.
Lark of a Leader Realized by the
Reformers, as There Is Xo One
to Take the Aggres
sive Role.
To-day's development" in the local Repub
lican organization will determine whether
the so-called reform clement in St. Louis
will be In a position to conduct a fair pri
mary. At noon the Executive Committee of
th State Committee will announce whether
it Is willing to compromise with the sixteen
men who hav brn found guilty of a con
spiracy to defraud the party.
The City Committee will meet .it 9 o'clock
this morning at the Temple building when
It will make up a list of Judges and clerki
to be submitted to the Executive Commit
tee. If the usual procrdure Is taken, this
list will probably be unsatisfactory to the
Executive Committee, time will be reiu-st-ed
and byfome pott of dilatory tactics the
City Committee will succeed in laying th
matter over until to-morrow. As the last
hour for filing is 11 a. m. TuesJay, two or
three hours of delay to-morrow morning
will assure the naming of the Judy's and
clerks whose namw have ln filed with
the Board of Election Commissioner.
GUILTY AND XOT GUILTY.
"When the State Committee nt Its Satur
day meeting eft the matter In the hands of
the Executive Committee for final decision
no mention was made of the fact that to
day is a legal holiday. This point will be
raised by the City Committee in its plea for
delay.
At that the Executtvo Committee, over
which the reform clement has absolute con
trol, has the undoubted power to oust the
sixteen men whom they found guilty.
Though the sixteen have repeatedly Ignored
and Insulted the State Committee, the old
talk of "harmony" Is so potent that no one
can predict what will occur. Where same
ness should be fcund, the yellow streak has
appeared so often that the Republican State
organlaztlon is characterized by political
aenemla.
This fact is evident to any one who has
talked with the practical workers of the
party. Outside of the State Committee
room Saturday enough fine compliments
were paid to Chauneey T. Fllley to show
that he holds a strong place In the hearts
of the "boys." If he had not taken such
a radical course during the past two yearn
he could now step in and again assume tho
reigns of leadership.
MEANS DEFEAT OF PARTT.
As a nominee for a State office stepped
out of the committee room Saturday he re
marked to a friend: "We have Just been
listening to our epitaDhs."
Which vas undoubtedly true. So bitter is
the fight that no Republican expects to car
ry St. Louis, and without St. Louis there
is absolutely no chance of success In the
State. The whole atmosphere Is one of dis
couragement. AVlth a fraudulent primary
staring them In the face, there will be
enough reform Republicans to bolt tho
ticket next fall to defeat It.
No one was surprised whon the subcom
mittee from the Citv Central Committee ap
peared before the State Committee to ac
knowledge that the sixteen were beaten. Af
ter denying that the State Committee had
Jurisdiction, they showed by their actions
that they acknowledged its authority. Their
only hope laid In tricking the Statu Com
mittee, something which they did.
For. whatever else may be said. It must
be confessed that the practical colltlclans
numbered among the slxtet-n "traitors" are
up against It unless they can stay In the
game. Unlike the "pink tea" element, they
must either remain In politics and thrive
or go to earning their living, a prospect not
so enticing.
The Expcutire Committee has the power
to nut them out of business. Only the
nerve seems to be lackirtg.

TRYING TO EXPLAIN
THAT ASSESSMENT
Yates Machine Wants Illinois Re
publicans to Think There la
Nothing to It.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Springfield. III.. Aug. 31. The leaders of
the Tates-Lorlmer faction of Illinois Re
publicans are making a desperate effort to
convince the rank and file of the party that
the five per cent assessment scandal Is
worthy only a passing thoughL There Is
handsome Perry Ellis, editor of the Qulncy
Whig, and the dignified John A. Cousley.
editor of the Alton Telegraph, who rather
lamely defended the practices of the Tates
machine. They don't like the way the Re
public handles the question. Mr. Ellis Is
tho Japanese fan-tall In the Yates aquari
um, and is thoroughly loyal to his party
leader. Mr. Cousley occupies a more Inde
pendent attitude in Us part. in fact, at
present he Is out of commission as a trailer
after leaders.
These eminent exponents of machine
thought In the Republican party wilfully
overlook the point to the fire per-cent as
sessment. Thev beg the question and do
not meet It fairly. Senator Cullom. Speak
er Sherman. Walter Reeves and a host of
other Republicans do not dodge the Issue.
They state It with candor and then de
nounce the practice. The Republic has not
gone farther than they In Its critlclsms.
The allegation of Republican leaders is
that Governor Yates and members of his
kitchen cabinet, ever since the Yates ad
ministration commenced, have levied an
arbitrary assessment of five pet cent on
every State employe under control of the
Governor: that the product of this brutal
manner of collecting money has not found
Its way Into the treasury of the Republican
State Committee, but forms a distinct fac
tional or personal fund, designated as "The
Dick Yates Fund"; that ostensibly It is
collected for the party and really it Is used
to swell the power of the Yates faction by
corrupting Republican primaries and con
ventions. DENOUNCED AS INFAMOUS.
That is the practice Senators Mason and
Cullom and Speaker Sherman and other able
Republicans denounce bs Infarnoust Edi
tors Cousley and Ellis and other Republi
can defenders and apologists ought to state
the question fairly. For example, nere M

of the passengers, accompanied by Sum
mers, he ran to the boat lashed to the side
of the ferryboat and in an Instant it was
lowered to the river and the two men seized
the oars and drove tho boat swiftly through
the water.
Mrs. Hubert Instinctively uttered a cry
for help and guided by the directions of the
passengers who pointed to the place where
she had last been seen. Monehan and Sum
mers soon had their boat beside the drown
ing woman, as she was sinking the third
time.
Monehan leaned over th bow of the boat
and placing his hands under the shoulders
of the drowning woman. lifted her Into tho
boat. She struggled feebly and begged to be
allowed to drown, but her struggles In the
water had exhausted all her strength and
by the time the boat reached the steamer's
side she was nearly pacified.
Policeman Dockery of the Fourth District
was on the deck of the Wiggins when tho
skiff reached Its side. A few minutes later
an ambulance drew up on the bank nnd
Mrs. Hubert was taken to the City Hospital
and placed In the observation ward.
According to her statement, constant
quarrels with her husband and daughter
were responsible for her act. She became
despondent and decided to end all her
troubles. She stated that her husband.
John Hubert, a painter, refused to work
and she was obliged to support him. Sat
urday night a few of his friends were at
tho house and in tho course of the evening
she says she was ill treated by Hubert.
Her husband stated that his wife has been
acting strangely for some time, ever since,

struck on the head by a falling timber. H
wishes her held at the City Hospital until
her sanity Is investigated.
by the Democrats when last In power in
this State."
The Democrats did nothing of the kind.
They made no "assessment" nnd the money
thev collected from office-holders was
turned Into the campaign lund of their State
Committee. It was not used to enable a
panut to become a sweet potato. I will
demonstrate the truth of this statement be
fore a month, giving names. lai-- and ev
ery detail. Including a first assessment un
der the present administration in one of tho
large charitable Institutions. The editors
of Republican Journals and srellMnders of
that party cannot vade the lsj. The
voters of Illinois know where thl.3 per cent
assessment money goes, and i'rv tew nt
them. Including employes of the Governor.
Indorse It. and not even Editor Ellis will at
tempt to defend It. except by dodging the
main point.
The disclosures regaraing tne assessment
of State employes for the benefit of Yates
and his faction, the scandals at Kankakee
and Jacksonville and the Feeble-Minded nt
Lincoln, the open and confessed charges of
corruption alleged by Senator iIaon nnd a
score of other things have frightened the
Yates machine. It Is now engaged In im
ploring Senator Cullom to come to Its as
sistance and save It. Secretary of State
Rose, a powerful ally of the Yates man
agers last winter and srring. Is ureing th
old-time leaders to come to the front and
save Yates and his machine from defeat.
"REBUKE YATES IN 1ML"
If Is claimed that the State ticket Is
threatened with an overwhelming defeat
and that the ascendency of the party in the
State will be Jeopardized and the State
may oe lost in 1301. "Rebuke Governor
Tates In the primaries In ll." suggests a
close party and personal friend of Mr.
Rose.
A year ago It was believed that the State
Convention of 1S02 would "rebuke Yates."
most Republicans believed It an easy thing
to do and Yates did not have a United
States Senator on his side. Late In the
canvass It Is true that President Roose
velt Joined the Yates faction and ordered
the Postmasters and Federal cmploes to
keep their hands off.
This Idea of "rebuking Yates In 13-M" re
minds me of an Interview with an Influen
tial Republican of the antl-Yates school.
He told me that the party never would
submit to the domination or leadership cf
Yates.
"Thlnk of It." said he. "a mere accident
In the executive office to set himself up as
a Warwick In the party, and by a nod of
his conceited bead to make United States
Senators and. maybe. Presidents, and as
low down as Mayors and City Attorneys.
Republicans of Illinois never will stand for
It. and If we must take a licking to get rid
of the accidental Incubus. I would prefer
that It be this year rather than ll.
"After all. there Is not raooh at stake
this year, excepting a United States Sena
tor, and I would prefer a Democrat than a
creature of Richard Yates. It Is no use at
tempting to argue that Mr. Hopkins will
not be a creature of the Governor. If he
Is elected It will be because Tates to for
htm. and he would be a base lngrate to
desert Yates when the latter needs friends.

CULLOM AND MASON INSULTED.
In every County Convention where the
Yates-Hopfcins machine was in control
Cullom and Mason were openly Insulted.
The United States Senators were the objects
of ridicule and hatred. Let Chairman Rowe
of the Yates State machine present to Sena
tor Cullom. along with his Invitation for
the oM veteran to don party harness
and ae the party this year, the resolu
tions adopted by the Yatcs-Hopklns outfit
in Will. Sangamon. Morgan. Adams. Midi

I.et Mr. Rowe and Governor Yates; nnd
Major Dan Hogan apologize for the 5 per
cent fund usd in Macon. Madison. Jackson.
Franklin. Wayne. Peoria. Green, ilandolph,
Williamson and many other counties to de
feat him.
And still there are some Republican edi
tors who want the voters to conlone these
things and for the good of th? party to
vindicate the Governor and Indorse the
methods he used to accomplish his tur
poses In the primaries last spring. Tney
do not defend the practices, but th time
to do the rebuking 's In IS04I These Repub
licans who are so anxious appear
to think the -voters nre foolst With Hop
