He has always held the welfare of the state above personal gain. '3. He is able, energetic, a sound thinker, with a well balanced mind. '4. He has made a careful study of gove~nment and is experienced in and familiar with the principles and plans upon which our state government is based and upon which it should he administered. '5. His record as mayor of Streator and in the senate conclusively established that: (a). No man in the senate has been more loyal to the farming interests, and the overwhelming majority which the farmers of his district gave him in the primary and election fight in 1922, when he wa opposed by Governor Small, prove that his work for the farmers is recoKnized and appreciated by them. (b). He has consistently been the friend of labor, and has without exception voted for those measures which in his judgment would properly advance the interests of those who toil. (c). He has recognized the rights of the investors and heli~!ves that the prosperity of our state i furthered by peaceful and amicable relations between the employed and the employ~r. (d). Legislation in the interest of the women of Illinois, recoR"nizing and establishing their rights, conserving their health, protPcting their children, has found in him an unswerving friend. The aged. infirm, the cripples, the blind, the widow and the orphan have had in him an ardent advocate. (c). His record in the senate has heen for a ~ound, economic and comprehensi,·c hard road program. The mandate of the pconle at the referendum upon til<' hard road oue~tion will he faithfully followed by Es ington. (f). He ha~ opposed and condem d the wrHk i1l" hy Governor Small of the Civil rlministrative Code established unrlt·r GovE>rnor Lowden, the destruction nf the Civil Service sy tern, the overthrow of the pen ions for aged and faithful employe , the enormous in('rease in taxes an!;~ appropriatinns. the placinf.! of hundreds of politician s unon thr tate payrolls for the purooq· of oerpetuatin~ the Small m;~chine, th" ~ale , of license for · urj.rcon . . physicians, denti ts and pharmacists, the corrupt and venal abuse of the power of the pardon and parole which has enriched favored lawyers, overthrown the verdicts of our juries and our highest courts, and has given liberty to convicted felons of the most dangerous and lowest type-the gunmen, the panders, the traitors who strove to tear down our country when her soldiers were at war. (g). He has stood for law and order and the protection of personal and property rights in the spirit of our constitution and our laws. (h). He has been through two contests with Governor Small in his last primary fight and in his last election and has won both. He knows how to fight the Small machine and how to best heat it.'" Lowden lndoraement "Strong indorsements have also come from all parts of the state. "Former Governor Frank 0 . Lowden writes: "'Senator Essington is an a hie leader of untarni hcd reputation and J believe his candidacy will appeal to the people of lllinois who wish a clean and efficient administration of public affairs. He came into the senate during my term as governor. He at once imt>rcssc<l me as a man of unusual ability, of exc-ellent poise. with an earnest desire to give thr puhlic servic,e the hest that was in him. Before the end of th <>ession 1 predicted that hil!her honors were «urdy in store for him. I am heartily in favor of his nomination and hall give him my cordial support.'"
