Smith, state‘s attorney of that county, toâ€" gether with others who appreciate his worth, insisting that the office of atâ€" torneyâ€"general of Illinois would be lucky if it should succeed in capturing Col. Smith. They point to his public record and they extol his intellectual, moral and professional qualifications as eminently worthy to adorn the atâ€" torneyâ€"generalship. "Col.

His services in that office have been marked by courage, independence, ability and scorn of ignoble politics. Therefore, if the office of attorneyâ€" general of Illinois is actually looking for a fit man instead of waiting to be given out as spoils by a statewide combine dominated by Gov.
