CONTROL OF COMMITTEE RELIED ON FOR SUCCESS Propose to Seat Contestod Delegations In State Convention Regardless of Right or Justice Yates 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 Yates- Deneen gubernatorial combine.

Deneen managers claimed yesterday they would control the state convention and information comes from 11 credible source that the combination has agreed that all conteating Deneen and. Yatea delegates are to be seated. In this manner it is planned to scat combination delegates from Edgar, Fulton, Randolph, Rock Island, Sanand other counties which may develop contesta, Moreover, it Is a8- Berted that Yates-Deneen managers are preparing to issue convention tickets only to those contesting delegates who are "right" in order that combination voters may be permitted to name the temporary officers of the gathering. Should this program be carried out a bitter nght will result, as Lowden, Hamlin, Warner and Sherman men insist that contesting delegates shall not participate in the temporary organization of the convention. The proposal, however, causes little surprise, in view of the desperate effort made by the Deucen-Yutes combine in Carroll, Whiteside and Rock Island counties.

Ironclad Combine Shown. Perhaps the strongest evidence of the ironclad character of the DeneenYales alliance is the fact that In the Winnebago county convention Deneen leaders refused to accept the offer of Lowden supporters to give the state's attorney the entire delegation If he would unite with them ngninst Yates. This offer was promptly refused, with the result that Deneen was accorded: only twelve delegates in the division of the spolla, while Governor Yates was allowed eight. The Yates-Deneen partpership has given rise to all sorts of speculation as to the terms of the compact. Both candidates have religlously preached honest 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 Lowden. received a plurality of the vote at the and had a plurality of delegates to the county convention, yet he was not allowed single state delegate as a result of the Deneen- Yutes alliance. Even Roy O.

West, Mr. Deneen's campaign manager, blandly admitted that this was "a bit raw." Forco 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 passtug on the credentials of delegates and when this authority was denied YatesDeneen delegates withdrew to the court house and beld an independent convention, thereby making Rock Ialand'a twenty-one delegates the ject of contest.

Moreover, the Deneen movement in. county found frat impulse in an attack on the governor and the machine of which he was the nominal head. Repeated failures on the part of Mr.

Deneen to secure an instructed delegate, however, lulve been followed. by a combination with the governor which has proved effective in sevoral big northern Illinole counties, and which is now at work in the southern part of the Convishtion Piano Are Laid.
