E' I COMBINE PLANS TRICK TO SEAT ALL OF ITS CONTESTED DELEGATIONS. CONTROL OF COMMITTEE RELfEO ON FOR SUCCESS Propose to Seat Contestod Delegations In State Convention Regardlsss of Right or Resorting to Any Sort of Dirty Politics to Defeat Colonel Lowden. Control of the Republican state convention by seating contesting delegations Is the latest scheme of the gubernatorial combine. Dfneon mnnagers claimed yesterday they would control the state convention and information comes from a credible source that the combination Inia agreed that all contesting Deneen anil, Tales delegates nre to be seated. In this manner it la planned to seat combination delegates from Edpar, Fulton, Randolph, Rock Island, Sangamon aJid other counties which may develop contents.

Moreover, it Is as- Berted that Yates-Deneen managers are preparing to issue convention tickets only to those contesting dele- Kates tvho are "right" In order that combination voters may be permitted to name the temporary officers of the gathering. Should thla program be carried out a bitter flght will result, as Lowden, Hamlln, Warner nnd Sherman men insist that contesting delegutes shall not participate In the temporary or- ganisation of the convention. The proposal, however, causes little surprise, in view of the desperate effort by the Deneen-Yutea combine in Carroll, Whileside and Rock Island counties. Ironclad Combine Shown. Perhaps the strongest evidence of the Ironclad character of the Deneen- Yales alliance Is the fact that In the Winncbago county convention Deneen leaders refused to accept the offer of Ijowdfca supporters to give the state's attorney the entire delegation If he would unite with them njralnst Yates.

This offer was promptly refused, with' the reault that Deneen was accorded' only twelve delegates In the division of the spoils, while Governor Yatea was allowed eight. The Yates-Deneen partnership has given riae to all sorts of speculation as to the terms of the compact. Both candidates have religiously preached hon- eiit primaries and fair expression of sentiment at the polls, and both have Indulged in the rankest sort of machine politics. In Winnebago county, for instance. Colonel Ixiwden received a plurality of the vote at the primaries and had a plurality of delegates to the county convention, yet he was not allowed single state delegate as a result of the Deneen-Yates alliance.

Even Roy O. West, Mr. Dcneen's campaign manager, blandly admitted that this was "a bit raw." Force Bolt in Rock Island. In Rock Island county Colonel Lowden also led at the primaries and In number of delegates to the county convention, but the county committee, dominated by Yates. Insisted on passing on the credentials of delegates arid when this authority was denied Yates- Duneen delegates withdrew the court house and belli an Independent convention, thereby making Rock Island's twenty-one, delegates the subject of contest.

Until State's Attorney Deneen, Joined Yates forces the chief issue raised by the governor in his campaign was the HO-called "trust prissa" of Chicago, which asserted with teara In his voice lias plotted to diucredlt his administration and drive him, out of opollt'c, In fact, the governor's close friends attribute hie success In delegate-getting this year to a Kftiiera! reaction against abuse heaped upon him the "trust press." Moreover, the Dent-en movement in Cook county found first Impulse In an attack on thn governor and the machine qf which, he was the nominal head. Re- puated failures on the part of Mr. Penetm to scours an Instructed rieie- giit.e, however, have been followed, by a combination with thu governor which proved effective in several big 'mirtliern Illinois counties, and which ifi now at work in. the southern part of the Planet Laid.
