MqrtqA D, Hall, Republican -.' .^janflKfate for governor of Illinois, > ' paid McHenry a short visit Tuesday ^ afternoon, arriving here from Wood- ;i;sfj|tock shortly after two o'clock. The distinguished visitor, who is Iburing the state via Automobile, in the interest of his candidacy, was ac- - a ©ompanied by State Senator A. J. 01- Ifcon of Woodstock, former Represen- , tjative J. EL Anderson of Lake . Forest and P. T. Gearen, a cornetist of abil- The tourists stopped at the Central opera house corner, where the musician, with the aid of his cornet, Succeeded in gathering together many those who happened to be within • Rearing of his cornet̂ and his mega­ phone call. • i The speaker was introduced by T Senator A. J. Olson and his talk, in Wt, was as follows: Why Hull Is In the Fight "The cause I am advocating is the ' ttftuse of our party--the cause of mak­ ing it, at this crisis in the affairs of #ur state, a progressive Republican party and not a party of reaction," >id Senator Hull.* Senator Hull, who is running trong, told how he had called on ^president Edmund J. James of the i.ijniversity and urged him to make j|he race in competition with the re­ actionary forces that have combined *linder the banner of Col. Frank O. Jjiowden. Senator Hull cited his ef­ forts to get Dr. James and others to ' jjtun, as evidence of the point that he Is not in this fight for any self-seek- • Ing purpose, but is making the fight in order that, at this time, when the Progressves are returning to the Re­ publican party, it shall be a party of progress in Illinois, Senator Hull said fti part: "The encouragement which we have received from so many different ^quar­ ters and at so many different places in Illinois, during the last few weeks, as well as the logic of the situation, leads me to realize that the people "appreciate the purposes of this fight. If we put fprth sustained efforts un­ til primary day it will triumph. I assure you that I am not going over $ie state to plead any personal cause. | am here earnestly to plead the cause zljjf our party. When Dr. James con­ cluded that his duties toward the IJniversity would not permit of his resigning to make this fight, and it /gras suggested to me from several Juarters that I become the candidate, said, 'I will make this fight because 1 believe it ought to be made and be­ cause I believe the rank and file of our party want the party to be an in­ strument of good government and human welfare in our state, and not reactionary party, as I fear it would be if the Thompson-Lorimer forees should triumph thru the candidacy of Mr. Lowden.'" Tuberculosis Sanitarian and Themp- •onitis In his speech here State Senator Horton D. Hull, the anti-Thompson- li»owden candidate for the Republican abminatibn for governor, discussed the danger he says he sees to the •tate.. charitable institutions in 'Thompson! tis.w Sienator Hufi sax? in part: 'The Thompson forces, who picked Mr. Lowden for their candidate for governor, are the same forces which showed a iust for contracts and jobs in reference to the municipal tuber­ culosis sanitarium of Chicago, an in­ stitution for the care of the sick and afflicted. "Their greed was so great that they drove Dr. Theodore B. Sachs, who had built up that institution, to his grave. I don't want to see the same treatment given, our state char­ itable institutions." Points On Lowden Embarrassments Senator' Holt spoke, in part, as follows: "On railroad matters and on water front matters is Mr. Lowden, with his Thompson Lorimer corporate connec­ tions, in the best position to safe­ guard the public -welfare? "Was he able to say 'no' when Mr. Lorimer, while under fire in the sen­ ate, wanted Mr. Lowden^ proxy on the national committee ot the party? "Do you gentlemen, wishing our party to succeed; realize that the peo­ ple of the great Republican wards of Chicago are so greatly disappointed with Mayor Thompson's record that they will not readily approve of ex­ tending the Thompson influence from the city hall at Chicago to the state- house at Springfield? "Do you realize that the Progres­ sive party committee of Cook county has endorsed my candidacy?" Hull's Ten Years In State Affairs In his speech Senator Hull took up his argument that he is a Chicago man. "I have spent a good part of the last \en years of my life at Springfield on state affairs," said Senator Hull, "so I am more of a state man than any other candidate. In New York state, two New York city men, Governor Roosevelt and Governor Hughes, were the state's greatest governors. A city man, if he knows state affairs, can be gover­ nor for all the people of the state. That is what I will be if nominated and elected governor of Illinois." To Thompson-Lowden Republicans, in this section, Senator Hull has ex­ plained that he is giving them the argument "which they will have to use between September 13 and the November election." This comment, and h& manner, which the politicians describe as "quiet, effective and in­ tensely earnest," has made a favor­ able impression. Two Conceptions of the Governor ship Senator Hull said in part: "There are two conceptions of the office of governor. One is the con­ ception that it is chiefly an ornamen­ tal office, that holding the office of governor gives a man an opportunity to acquire new dignity, new honors, new prominence--to add a new title to his present list, and thus to in­ crease his social distinction. "One question for the voters of our party is whether or not this is the conception held by that very agree­ able gentleman, Colonel Lowden, who who has been seeking this office now for some time. "Another conception of ,the gover­ norship is the conception of service to the public. I earnestly wish to as­ sure you that if I am elected governor will be the governor--the servant not of any one individual, but the servant of the whole people." The party went from here to Grays- The Main restaurant <a the West Side is now open all night.
