FRED L. HATCH A leading farmer, stock raiser and dairyman, whose personal interests and investments are identical with those of SHILEY'S PLATFORM I firmly believe that truth is a car­ dinal virtue and that a strict adherence thereto is the only path to pursue. I believe id a square deal for every­ body, high or low, rich or poor, in court or out of it. 1 believe in protecting to the fullest extent the interests of widows and orphans, in court or out of it. I believe that all children should have the best of care at home and every opportunity given them for an education, and if they do not have such care and opportunity, then I believe in applying the law, through the county the farmers, stock raisers and dairy­ men of the counties of Lake, McHenry and Boone. 8 P. O. Spring Grove, 111. Chicken feed at M. M. Niesen'a. court, to compel the parents, guardin ans or other persons who may have their custody to give them such care and opportunity. I believe that the law should be obeyed and enforced and that a judge should know neither friend nor foe in its application. I believe that all public officers should do' their duty under the law without fear or favor, and mora partic­ ularly if a judge of the county and pro­ bate eourt6. I believe that a judge should be a man of nerve, a student of the.law, and fearless in its application, and, in the discharge of the functions of bis office, should not be subservient to the will or caprice of any man or set of men. I believe that the probate court should be open at all times as required by law, as it has been during my term of office and as it will be in the future if I am elected. The above 1B the platform upon which I stand. I respectfully solicit the Republican voters of McHenry county, who can endorse these princi­ ples, to vote for me for county judge at the coming primaries, Wednesday, SeptemberQ, 1914. I want to take this opportunity to thank all those who have shown their unbounded kindness to me in the past, and can assure all my friends and my enemies that they will find me as cour­ teous to them, under all circumstances, in the future as I have been in the past. 7 D.
