Continued irom Page Five. primaries in the central wards at least, in both parties, and if it was found that either party got beyond control, it was the pTan to either seize control by force or to precipitate a rump convention. The first show down came in the republican county convention. The Looney-McConochie- Miller-Kennedy-Thomas push could not run things with a high hand, and so the other alternative was adopt ed "the rump convention at the Illi nois theatre over w hich Mayor N u liam McConochie presided and in which M. M. Sturgeon and William Kennedy, of Bock Island and W. A. Meese, of Moline, were the moving spirits. Miller's police guarded the door. of the theatre until all was in readiness to run the convention. The Dlaerace at Turner II a 11. The next move came in the demo cratic city-township convention. The regular democrats of Bock Island, as the convention proceedings show had control of the convention by the pres ence of over seventy out of 98 dele gates in the temporary organization Mayor McConochie was on hand.' So were the police. At the signal from Looney the police followed him to the stage and in the ensuing riot kept him in a position where he could preside, the minute order was restored, despite the protests of the majority of democrats rightfully there as represented by the officers of the organization on the stage and by the delegates on the floor of the convention. The mayor left the hall, when the riot began in stead of remaining to Vest ore order. He was begged to return and order the police to do their duty but he re fused. Looney and the police broke up the convention. The regular demo crats adjourned to another hall and held an orderly convention and nomi nated a representative ticket. Looney and his hoodlums remained in the hall and nominated a ticket, from which all but one or two. members have since formally withdrawn. Looney next undertook by threat to prevent City Clerk Schaffer from put ting the regular democrat ticket on the official ballot. He could not bluff Schaffer and then he ran a bluff on the returning board provided by law to pass upon the merits of the anti- Iooney democratic ticket and the Looney ticket. He served notice that his ticket would go on the ballot or there would be no democratic ticket to vote for. He had a few days be fore declared that he would preside; over the democratic convention or there would be no democratic conven tion. The Looney ticket did not go on the official ballot, however, and the regular democratic did, just as it had happened that Looney did not preside over the democratic conven tion, but the:democratic convention was held nevertheless. The Last Dilapidated Spectacle. Thereupon was set upon foot a scheme to stop the regular democrat ic ticket by means of master-in-chan- eery injunction proceedings. Tins de ign was exploded and there was but one thing left to apply to Judge Graves at Geneseo. It was unneces sary to argue the side opposed to Looney there. Looney alone was heard. He was told that in the face of his own statements he had no case. So that the regular democratic ticke went on the official ballot to the dis- ippointinent of what is left of the Looney - Miller - Kennedy republican, grab-ev cry thing push. The regular democratic ticket being on the ballot in spite of Looney s riot ous efforts to prevent the convention acting that nominated it, and in the face of his undertaking to stop it by law, where may it reasonably be ex pected to find Looney in the present status of the proceedings?
