The Illinois action Is broucht by C.
T. Heydecker er al. ami it is alleged
that the state camp, held at Ilock Is
land May 6. electt-d M. H. fleary state
conpul and V. i. Hrumund clerk, and
that 73 delegates and the same num
ber of alternates, were chosen by an
affirmative vote of 249 on roll call and
that during the progress of the session
73 delegates w ho were in the minority,
withdrew and held a pretended Mate
camp at which .time 7:t delegales and
73 alternates were selected to the
head camp but that this second list is
without authority and not properly en
titled to seats in the convention. It is
charged that on May IS. a certificate
showing the list of insurgent delegates
and alternates was filed with the head
office and that it was then the duty of
the head clerk to Issue immediately
credentials but although demand has
been made on Major Hawes, he re
fuses to do so.

delegates and 35 alternates were se
lected to the head camp by an affirma
tive vote of 100. May 13 a certified
list of delegates was filed with the
head clerk but it is averred the clerk
refuses to issue the proper creden
tials. Head Office Statement.
The followinp statement concerning
the reason for not Issuing credentials
to delegates is issued today by the
head office:
"Yesterday the following members
of the society visited the Head Clerk's
office in this city: Col. E. S. Smith,
Springfield, and Judge Ii. W. E. Mitch
ell, Sterling. 111.. Capt. W. S. Hart.
Waukon, Charlea W. L.yon. Des
Moines, and John I). Porter. Webster
City. Iowa, and M. L. Corey of Clay
Center. Neb. They made inquiry of
the head clerk as to the issuance of
credentials to Head camp delegates
from the states of Illinois, Iowa and
Nebraska, in which states contesting
delegations have been selected.
'The head clerk informed them that
he has not had time nor. opportunity
to consider questions involved, as the
department by which credentials are
issued is busily engaged in extend in i;
the mileage and per diem of the moiv
than three thousand state camp dele
gates, and will not be able to finish
this Important work for several days.
He assured the visitors, however, that
the matter of the issuance of creden
tials will be taken up at the earliest
possible moment. The head clerk
wants it clearly understood that, be.
will comply with the by-laws and tiTT
there is absolutely no truth in the re
ports which are circulating, charging
him with refusing to issue credentials
to delegates in Illinois. Iowa or Ne
braska, and with refusal to pay mile
age and per diem to delegates in these
states. All these mattters will receive
consideration and attention in due
course of business."
