ROD VICTORY CERTAIN STATE TOUlt OF CANDIDATE EARNS PROF­ FER OF AID. Frank R. Re id of Aurora has returned from a state tour regarding his candi­ dacy for the Republican nomination for attorney general at the primaries April 9. Mr. Reid was given a hearty reception everywhere, he meeting en­ couragement in every locality he vis­ ited. This, with the reports secured by the managers, indicate he will be the choice of the Republican party for attorney general of Illinois. Vermillion, Champaign, Macon, Sangamon, St. Clair, Peoria and I)e Kalb counties have organized Frank R. Reid clubs, and there are still others in the process of formation. A Reid wave has struck Cook county and each of the Chicago wards has an organiza­ tion whose sole purpose is to further the candidacy of the brilliant young lawyer. It is generally conceded that with no further effort on his part Lake, Mc- Henry, DuPage, Will, Kendall, Boone, Winnebago, Macoupin, McLean, Wood­ ford, Montgomery, Coles, Kankakee, Knox, Carroll, Warren, Logan, Jo Daviess, Tazewell, Stephenson, De- Witt, Whiteside, Lee, Jefferson, Piatt, Rock Island and Williamson counties will give him majorities. With the primaries less than two weeks away, and with Reid sentiment growing rap­ idly there is every evidence that he will receive a splendid majority. Mr. Reid, in the ten years he has been practicing law, has built up an enviable reputation. Going to Chica­ go practically unknown several years ago he measured swords with the best in the profession, and never to his dis­ comfort or disadvantage. Gradually he has forged to the front, being con­ nected with cases of state and national importance. Mr. Reid's known friendship for labor organizations, his presidency of the state's attorneys' association, and the important cases he conducted while connected with the United State's at­ torney's office, have placed him in the •pot light of publicity, and there is nothing in his record which will not bear the most vivid scrutiny. Added to this Mr. Reid has the sup­ port of a majority of the members of the last legislature, with whom he •erved. He has always allied himself with the best element in the party. Bench and bar also have united in giving his candidacy an added impetus, while the best men in Illinois general­ ly favor his candidacy. I am in favor of a law giving us the Initiative, Referendum and Recall, and to elect the United States Senators by a direct vote; also to nominate and elect the President of the United States by a direct vote of the people- GOIW ENTERS RACE Democratic caiiUiiUAi^ for liepresen. s tative in General Assembly, 8th •trict.

Conn, Jr., into the con­ gressional race, says: f George W. Conn, Jr., formerly of this city, but now residing with his family at Manhattan, Kan., on Friday of last week, thru an Elgin paper, an­ nounced his candidacy for the,Republi­ can nomination for congress from this district. Last October Mr. Conn, with his family, removed from this state and took up his residence at the above place and accepted a state appoint­ ment to the position of professor of agriculture in the Kansas State Agri­ cultural school at Manhattan, which position he is still holding, and under the laws of Kansas it can only be held by an actual resident of that state. How Mr. Conn can expect the Re­ publican voters of this district to sup­ port his candidacy for the Republican nomination for congress, when he is now holding a state office in Kansas and drawing a state salary as an actual resident of tfiat state, seems inexplain- able. v Mr. Conn has announced that his headquarters during his present cam­ paign will be located in Elgin, but he has wisely decided to keep his family in Kansas and retain his present office and his residence in that state until the Republican voters of this congress­ ional district have expressed then- choice at the April primaries, as be­ tween Mr. Conn's candidacy and that of our present congressman, Col. Cop­ ley, of Aurora. Mr. Conn's eleventh hour entry in to the race for the congressional nomi­ nation, under the existing circum­ stances, seems hasty, ill advised, and many of Mr. Conn's former ardent supj)orters are freely expressing them­ selves that Mr. Conn is the victim of "plotters" who have in mind other motives than the success of Mr. Conn's candidacy. A published interview from Mr. Conn, appearing in an Elgin paper last Friday, states that he is to run on a Roosevelt platform. How Mr. Conn, or his present advisors, can expect to get the Taft postmasters thruout this congressional district to support Mr. Conn on a Roosevelt platform is yet unexplained. In connection with this, the Republican voters of this district may demand to know of Mr. Conn why two years ago he ran as a stand-patter and declared that if elected he would follow the leadership of Cannon and Aldrich. It is fresh in the minds of the Re­ publican voters of this congressional district that two years ago Col. Copley made a gallant fight on a strong pro­ gressive platform, with a statement over his own signature that if elected he would never vote for Cannon for speaker and on that issue Col. Copley was nominated, and his record in con­ gress has met the hearty approval of every Republican that voted for his nomination at the primaries. Even his political enemies admit his record is perfect, and entitles him to a renom- ination. It is apparent that Mr. Conn has hastily embarked in this campaign with little thought of where he will land. His petitions were being circu­ lated and his announcement was pub­ lished before one-fourth of his former prominent suppMters in this county even knew that Conn was in this state, or contemplated again making the race for "the Republican nomination for con­ gress from this district. The question of the advisability of his running at this time was not even asked of his former prominent sup­ porters in this county. They were ignored as completely as tho their time and money two years ago were spent in supporting the candidacy of Col. Copley, in place of that of Mr. Conn. Perhaps three or four (would-be) politicians in this county can and will force Conn's former prominent leaders in this county to again fall in line in support of a candidacy that has been forced upon them, and which would never have occurred had their advice been sought and followed. Two years ago, the same leaders of Mr. Conn who have now been so com­ pletely ignored made it possible for Mr. Cono to then carry this county by a handsome majority, and almost placed him in the seat he so earnestly desired. Without their earnest, hearty and active support at this time, Mr. Conn's vote in the district will not be worth counting, and he can hardly expect to break even with Col. Copley in Mc­ Henry county. At this writing Congressman Copley is confined to his room at the Union League club in Chicago, suffering from a severe attack of erysipelas. His attending physician reports that at best it wilt be several '.days before Mr. Copley can even leave his room. Col. Copley hardly needs to come to McHenry county to secure a good sub­ stantial vote at the April primaries; The people of this county have met Col. Copley and they like him. He has done much towards Advanc­ ing the interests of Woodstock, Har­ vard, Marengo, Crystal Lake, North Crystal Lake, Algonquin and Cary, and since he has faithfully, honestly and fearlessly represented the entire people of this congressional district at Washington during his present term, it seeswi an assured fact that the Re­ publican voters of ttifs congffJWhjnal district will renominate him at the a btlggy Freffna, majO ______ 37 Staver buggies, the kind that give satisfaction and are sold at the Mght price.

Mr. Graham, then made a few fitting remarks thanking the board for its words and expressing appreciation of the manner in which the board had worked with him the past year and for his pleasant relations during hi9 ser­ vices as a member. His remarks were ordered spread on record. WAUKEGAN SUN'S COMMENT. Retiring Chairman Thomas Graham of Grant was given a nice farewell note by the supervisors for his work as chairman and his work as a member of the board for fifteen years. A man who can go back to the board for fif­ teen years and could have kept on go­ ing back even now, if he wishes, surely has made a good supervisor. And Tom was all of that. His retirement from the board causes the loss of an amiable, efficient and wholesome member, one who rendered faithful and loyal ser­ vices to the county for many years. Disease Has Never Failed •il primaries by an over whelming onty. TO THE REPUBLICAN VOTERS OF THE EIGHTH SENATORIAL DISTRICT. I hereby announce myself a candi­ date for Representative in th§ General Assembly, subject to the action of the Republican primary election to be held April 9, 1912. Previous to four years ago, the Re­ publicans of Boone county for more than thirty years had been represented in the State Legislature at Spring­ field. During the last four years, how­ ever, Boone county has had no Repub­ lican representation, either in the Sen­ ate or House of Representatives. At the present time McHenry county has all the Republican members, the sen­ ator as well as both representatives. The Republicans of Boone county feel that they are entitled to a repre­ sentative, and being assured by many voters, both of Lake and McHenry counties, that there was again a disj>o- sition to give Boone county represen­ tation, I consented to become a candi­ date. I am the only candidate from Boone county, but on account of our small population it will be necessary for me to receive substantial support from both Lake and McHenry counties if I am to be nominated. Do you think it is fair that McHenry county, with only two-sevenths of the population of the district, should have the whole thingV Don't you think it is about time that Lake county and Boone county, representing five-sevenths of the population of the district, should again be entitled to something? Having been raised on a farm and still being interested in agriculture and dairying, I am therefore familiar with the needs of the farmer in the way of legislation, and shall favor only such laws for regulating the dairy in­ dustry as are just and fair to the pro­ ducers of milk. I am unalterably opposed to the cor­ rupt use of money to control primaries and elections. This is an evil which strikes at the very foundation of our government and institutions, and is a custom altogethor too prevalent. The people cannot expect honest public officials if they are elected by the cor­ rupt use of money. Certainly a per­ son cannot afford to give his time to an office and besides spend four or five times the amount of his salary in cam­ paign expenses. I believe we should have a corrupt practice act, making it incumbent on every candidate to report in detail under oath the amount of his campaign expenses and the source from which it came, and if I am elected I shall favor the passage of such a measure. 1 believe in the election of United States Senators by direct vote of the people and if elected I hereby pledge myself to vote lor the candidate for United States Senator who shall re­ ceive the highest vote at the primar­ ies. I served two terms in the Legisla­ ture, from 1904 to 1908, and am known to most of the voters of the district, bit- reputation if not personally. If you think my record is such that I am entitled to another term I shall appre­ ciate your sup(H>rt and if elected I shall endeavor, sis I always have in the past, to represent you honestly, con­ scientiously and faithfully. Respectfully yours, FKAMK M. COVBY. The Keeley Institute, Dwight. III. Beautiful location. Delightful surrounding*. Finest accommodation*. The Keeley Cure Is Permanent "This is the twentieth anniversary of my rein­ carnation and release from the bondage of the ' Demon Rum. Completely cured--the accursed ap­ petite never to return." This is a sample letter; we have many, many thousands like it. But we never publish names of patients, without their consent. In a number of instances we are allowed to use names of men who have been cured, as references, and will be glad to do so, and convince inqtiirers of the truth of our claims, if desired. Home Treatment We do not recommend home treatment in the case of either liquor or drug addictions; these condi­ tions are serious and demand the best and most efficient treatment; this cannot be administered by the patient himself. It is better for him to be in a Keeley Institute, where he is constantly under the supervision of physicians who are skilled in treating these cases and where evfery phase and development of his case is watched and cared for. 400,000 Men have been saved by the Keeley treatment during the last 32 years! 400,000 families restored to happiness! New hope and Joy and ambition brought into the lives of approximately 2,000,000 people! Isn't there someone you can help? Drunkenness Is a Disease Dr. Leslie E. JCeeley proved that drunkenness is a 4rue disease'. It affects the nerve cells, pro­ ducing in them a demand for alcoholic food. And it paralyzes the sufferer's will power and ability to resist. Not one man in a thousand cAn stop immod­ erate drinking of his own accord. No more than he can cure himself of smallpox or brain fever. He must have help! HoW the Keeley Treatment Cares The Keeley remedies cure by removing the artificial alcohol appetite from the nerve cells, and restoring them to their natural condition. The Keeley medicines are nerve tonics. They cause no sickness or nausea. They are absolutely non-injurious and leave no ill effects of any kind. The "craving" for drink is not the disease. It is simply the symptom of the disease, just as a cough is a symptom of some irritation or inflam­ mation. When the nerve cells are restored to their nor­ mal, healthy condition, the appetite for alcohol disappears. Information Coupon THE LESLIE E. KRKU5Y Co..

When Paul MacGuffin started his campaign for the Republican nomina­ tion for state senator in the eighth dis­ trict the man whom he wishes to suc­ ceed had been actively engaged in the work for many pionths. To overcome the many political prejudices which thru misrepresentation had been creat­ ed in the minds of the dairy farmers was no small task. MacGuffin entered the race with that indomitable courage which was his heritage from an ancestry of stalworth men and women whose reflective thoughts take them back to the land of the bonnie heather and blue bells of Scotland. Everywhere thruout the district the "big attorney" has been accorded the heartiest reception possible, and the following editorial from a newspaper which four years ago supported the present encumbent is only one of the reasons why the people will vote for Paul MacGuffin: "In a tri-column article over his own signature in the Weekly Sun, Mr. Ol­ son charges the MacGuffin advocates of conducting a 'vilifying' and 'mud- throwing' campaign. "The News desires to add its protest and hastens to condemn such methods as unworthy, reprehensible and worse than futile. We stand for integrity and earnest­ ness of purpose both in motive and methods, to the end that the people may be enlightened upon current topics pertinent to this campaign. "And it is in Strict, conformity with the policies above set forth, in behalf of the voters of th,e rural class, espe­ cially the milk producers, that we will ask Mr. Olson, 'Did you draft Senate Bill, No. 55 or did Ed. Shurtleff do soV' "Mr. Olson, were you chairman of the body of six house members and four senators to whom Bill No. 55 was committed or was Ed. Shurtleff chair­ man? 'Did you introduce the bill or did some one else do it?' 'Further, along this same line, and in behalf of the dairy interests, why did you kill Bill No. 540 in your com­ mittee by refusing to report it out when 143 members of the lower house out of 153 and 48 senators of the total of 51 were in favor of its beneficent provisions?' 'Bill No. 55 above referred to is the anti-tuberculin test bill and Bill No. 540 was the bill prohibiting the impor­ tation of diseased cattle into Illinois. "Now. Mr. Olson, we maintain that the fundamental principle of all gov­ ernment is ready submission to the ox- pressed will of the majority of the governed and that your action in rela­ tion to the above legislation was not in conformity with the above principle, unworthy of our endorsement and ex- t r e m e l y r e p r e h e n s i b l e .
