Another term will complete twenty years of continual service for this district, and I have locked to that attainment with some, I trust, pardonable, personal pride. However, more important is the fact that I have wished to aid Gov­ ernor Lowden in his endeavor to make Illinois a more fit place to live in after the boys come home from the war. In connection with my record the Legislative Voters' league said recently: "Edward D. Shurtleff, representative (Rep.), was'Gover­ nor Lowden's floor leader in the house. Had it not been for his ef­ fort it is unlikely that the Governor's administrative code bill could have been passed. He refused appointment as head of a House Com-" mittee and gave most of his time to furthering the passage of admin­ istration measures." Governor Lowden said at Woodstock, September 6, i9i?: ^ want to say a word about one of your citizens. I want to take ad­ vantage of his absence today. I refer to Edward D. Shurtleff. I want you people of his home county to realise that, during the present ad­ ministration, Mr. Shurtleff was my right arm; all during the planning of the administration code he was with me and worked zealous|y and efficiently. I don't know what I would have done without him; I am confident that results would not have been what they were. And, whether we have peace or war, I shall need him more than ever in the future, Therefore I want to say to you people here that you must not permit him not to be a candidate for re-election as I have heard might be the case." I have had numerous conference^ with tJovernor Lowden since that time as to the program he is trying to work out in "correcting,, revising and advancing the Administrative Code," in "Revenue mat­ ters," in "Court Practice matters,"--in a "New Election Law,"--and in an effort to get a "NEW STATE CONSTITUTION," and to help make Illinois a better place to live in for all its people. I feel that the electorate of this district know where I stand on public matters, and the services I have performed, so that I need not restate them. I expect to vote for the National Amendment. A campaign is being made against me, pretending to be friendly, conceding my nomination and election, and insisting that I shall have many votes to spare. If this advice should be carried to. its logical conclusion I would have no votes at all. The purpose of my oppon­ ents is to persuade the voters that they are friendly to me, that I 'can be nominated and elected without votes, and that "an issue" calls for another man. I earnestly solicit the vote of every Republican in the district who believes I should be returned,--and even at that it is more than probable I will have none to spare. Thanking you sincerely for your support and* confidence in the !»st, Very Respectfully, Edward d. shurtleff, 1 Marengo, niinoi#^*J* •'"> ihh t»fv HENRY RATHBONE IS A CANDIDATE K>R THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION FOR CONGRESSMAN-AT-LARGE 'E has taken a prominent part in every political .campaign for over twenty years.
