WEST MCHENRY M. J. WALS (POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT) if fe- On Tuesday. August 27th, 1 he Woodstock American came out editor- tally recommending to its readers the nomination of Mayor Calvin. J. Hen- dffcfcs of Harvard, for the office of County Jifdge. The editorial of The American reads as follows: • HENDRICKS LOOKS A WINNER - Condensing all the reports that have come to this office from different parts of the county, it seems inevitable that Mayor Hendricks of Harvard will be nominated for county judge at the primaries on September 11, by a sub­ stantial 'majority. While the friends of Attorney Ben­ jamin F. Manley point to the fact that four years ago their candidate came near defeating Judge Smiley for renomination, they overlook the fact that at that time there was an organ­ ized effort on the part of certain politicians of this county to unseat Judge Smiley, and that the entire vote of that organization went to At­ torney Manley because he was the only candidate against Judge Smiley. - Jt now seems certain that on pri­ mary day Mayor Hendricks will re­ ceive a vote almost or quite equal to that of his two opponents. * During the last two weeks the sen*- timent with reference to the nomina­ tion of a county judge has crystal­ lized, and many voters who hereto­ fore have refrained from expressing their choice, are outspoken in favor of the Hendricks candidacy. , .vft is very, apparent that Attorney James F.* Casey of this city and' At­ torney Benjamin F. Manley of Har­ vard have each been slipping of late, and some good political guessers are saying that Casey will be third in the race. Others, equally confident, claim that Casey will receive a larger vote than Manley. The strength of Mayor Hendricks in this contest lies in the fact that a large majority of the people of the county concede that he is one of the ablest lawyers now at the McHenry county bar, and that he is much t>et- ter qualified from a legal standpoint than either of the two other candi­ dates. While The American expresses no opinion as to the legal ability of any of the candidates, it is known that there is quite an-effort beitig made by different attorneys in the county to secure the nomination of Mayor Hen- Hrip^ solely on the ground thst they know his legal qualifications and ability and feel that the best quali­ fied man for tlie office ought to be nominated. Another strong point in. favor of the Hendricks candidacy is that he has successfully conducted some very important cases in this and other counties and has clients ia every par4; of the county who know him to be thoroughly honest and reliable and therefore has no occasion to advertise himself as an honest lawyer. s , The American cheerfully indorses the candidacy of Mayor Hendricks for the Republican nomination for county judge, and in so doing feels sure that it is recommending to all the people who do business in the county eojirt the best qualified man for the position.

The game was witnessed by one of the largest crowds that ever turned out to a similar event at Johnsburg and when their lads were returned the victors one can jeasily imagine the joy of the fans. The contest was bitterly fought every inch of the way and the Johns­ burg boys are.worthy of all the praise they received after the combat was over. The winning of this important game makes Johnsburg a contender for county championship honors.
