SERVING NOTICE.
The third party progressives have
served notice on the bosses of the re
publican party in the east that a
reasonably progressive candidate tor
president on the republican ticket will
receive their support even tho his
name be other than Roosevelt, but
that any attempt to foist one of the
old gang upon- the country will be
met with division. This is a fair
proposition and would be accepted by
men who sincerely desired the success
of a republican candidate. If an offer
to cet together is spurned by the men
who drove the progressive element out
_. of the party four years ago it is an

be a sort of hell hole across the river
from the city that is cleaner perforce
thru the dictate of the state at large.
Just why the Times-Journal should

for East Dubuque to pay police an!

at home?
Take the case of Davenport. Daven

out at the toe of the boot. She feared
that the big hotel, the finest in he
