D. Shurtleff1-, -mresentative at Sprlugflldfrom this district. While it is'oonceded that the. effort wMf not be productive of any tangible resuitsaid Xr. Shurtiff 'will probably go back to Springfield with the blggest ma- jority ho bu ever .bad because the. figiit 18 being put Up againat him, nevertiieless, tiiose who are suppooting Gov. --iaowde ladministration. cann t hae but f e.I that9waat- tacks made on Shurtleff's seat corne frein the camp that formerly were opposed te Gov. Lowden, camps that inco *iiad tried te pacify the Govornor aid even make hum un- derstand- that they were for him for the nomination and election. There la no mai Gov. Lowden wants at Springfield i the legislatsure morbthat ho doos E. D. Siiurtleif. The writer was at Woodstock Sept. 6, 1917 when Gov. Lowden wau the guest of honor at the county fair., At that time witii thousands of people assembled, Gov. Lowden took advintagç ofX b . Shurtleff 'a absence and witii the crowd standing at close attdhtion, said with great emphasis: "1want to sav a ,word about one of your eiti- zen)s. 1 -aîît te take advaîitage of bis absei(ee toda..J refer tii Edward D.

'Tleî-efei-e, 1 waut te sa 'v te 'll eîle eethat Ys-eu m1st not permit hiîn not tû be a candidate for i-e-ec- tion as J bave licard i glt he the case.' Now thon anybody who is trying to support Gov. ]Lowdei 's administration cannot overlook the appeal the governor made a year ago at Woodstock and because war has corne on and because the governor is more in need of strong men now than ever before, it lu clearly apparent to the think voter that Gov. Lowden must have the assist- ance of men like Mr. Shurtleff. A leader in Ilinois legis- lation for many ysars, Mr. Shurtieff is looked upon as the strongest mai in the state outside of the Governor 's chair, ho islooked upon as the oie mai who can assist the gov- ernor I important legisiation which is to corne bof ors thet next legieiature.1 Thi. effort to deceive Mr. Shurtief canixot b. inter- preted byr the thunking voter au anythiig else than a chai- 1qngo te Gev.

Lake county, Boone county alid McHeiry county, aid ther state of Illinois, as well as United States, needs the valu-a able ausistance that ho haa been in a position to render at I Springfield. Voters of the. district must not lot anybodyt tiuow dust i their syesanad negloct te vote for Mr. ShUrt-b Ieff on the assumption that ho does not neod their vote. This lu the propaganda being sproad against himn aid that is the kind of a campaign that is serious and very dan- gerous at a tim ie .this. Look back ovor the record of E. D.

AUl of the boys who bave tried it along the ies say so. But it should not looen 80 large in, the public eyo as to ovor- shadow ail of the army's other, aid manifold, activitios in the soldier's bebaif. The fact is that the Salvation Army doughnut lu larger evon than it roally looks. Tiers is no hole in it. Tii. army's work for and witi the fighting mon leavos no vacancies. It oporatos nearly hall a hundred motor ambulances manod by its own-soldiers. It con- ducts nearly fourscoro hotels- for soldiers and saiors. Tue 200 army huis whero refreshmonts are servod are also used for social aid roligious gatherings. Inis 1'sstrooms are nswspapers, magaztines and perioclicals of many sorts for amnusement, entertalnmnt and enligitmet. Gsi. Per- shung's warm- comenodatjoi of Salvation Ariiy work at the front undoubtedly includes what thàt service iu cap- able of being made when the worst cornes. It is ostimated that the armny's ambulance ser-,uic, even as now organuzed, can tako care of 100,000 wounded soldiers te be removod from battie linos. hi ils visw, the handlig of 100,000 parcels of food and clothig, distributed amoig soldiors and sailors, in flot the least of Salvation Ariny service, or the fact that 300,000 of these soldiers and sallors attend Balvation ArMy services. -The Salvation Army fias ai- roady exponded $2,000,000 in its variod activities.
