' ': . . - * ^ \ ' Dear Mr. Wirte: .'< ' During my eight weeks at Spfit^efrflSst year protecting the milk farmers, I learned a lot of things regarding the working of our state legislature and thecharacterol &e men we sent down there to represent us. ^ : I learned that a new man on either the senate or hdiise floor is just about useless; no one paid much attention to his bills or his opinions. The Chairman of an Important Committee told me that ft required a third term to really develop a good man,--that is, to find out what sort of stuff he was made of, and teach him the game of getting results. I was told that eight or nine men were doing all the real work in the Senate and Senator Swift's name was mentioned as one of those few,-- the rest being mere dummies following along. - 2 When I was at your Farm Bureau picnic I heard a farmer say that he had seen in a paper where it was reported that Senator Swift had made a speech belittleing the intelligence of the farmer when the Co-op bill was up. The bill itself as it came from California was an insult to the intelligence of 'every farmer. Senator Swift spoke for co-operation, but against this biH- until it should be amended, and had it not for hi?, help, wre would all be stepping to the tune of that jughandle, Sapiro, law today. Senator Swift was the only man thafhad the guts and the know-how to rise and defend us. Senator Swift did time and time take the floor while I sat in the gallery to protect and defend the interests of the farmer. ' I can assuffe you that if will be a real misfortune to the farmers of not alone your district, but my district, and of the whole state, ifyou fail to return Swift to the Stale Yours very cordially, Clarence M. Cleveland. Edwin F. Deicke DEICKE R.R- --FOR-- CONGRESS NOT A LAWYER, But a Business Man and Farmer ^ t=i ' EDITORS FROM ALL FOUR COUNTIES SAY HE IS BOUND TO WIN WHAT OTHERS SAY: The Elmhurst Press of DuPage County says: "Deicke will carry DuPage County five to one. He has rib opposition here, and with the support he is getting in the other counties, he should be an easy winner." The Crete Record of Will County sayv; "As the Primaries are drawing near it is becoming more and more apparent that Edwin F. Deicke is the most popular candidate for Congress. The fact that he is a Business Man and Farmer, opposed by four lawyers, seems to be very much in Deicke's favor." The Woodstock American of McHefuy County says: "McHenry County will surprise Deicke with the large vote he will get here. He will carry this county by a wide margin. The people of McHenry County want a Business Man and Farmer to represent them in Congress and not Political Lawyers such as are opposing Deicke., Deicke meets our requirements 100 per cent. The Batavia Herald of Kane says: Edwin P. Deicke is a young man of fine abilities, well versed upon the leading topics of the day. He is not a millionaire, a Politician, or a Lawyer, but a Successful Business Man and Farmer and a Progressive Citizen. DuPage County Has been supporting Kane and Will County candidates for thirty years. Now let us return the favor and support their candidate. Turn about is fair play. From all indications he win carry Kane County, as he is well known throughout the Fox River Valley." * On April 8th the voters of this district have their choice between lour lawyers . and One Successful Business Man and Farmer. If you feel that we already have enough lawyers at Washington, then VOTE FOR EDWIN F. DEICKE ADDITIONAL EXCHANGE C. A. Carlson of Danville, 111., has acquired the interest of E. J.
