The Illinois Republican Service Men's League, following its state eonvention and election at Springfield, entered the final laps of the state campaign by releasing a statement by its chairman, Colonel Howard P. Savage, who is both Past National Commander and Past State Commander of the American Legion, urging support of Herbert Hoover for President, Len Small fpr Governor, Otis F. Glenn for United States Senator, and the entire Republican ticket, mentioning by name also C- Wayland Brooks and Harry G. Wright, two war veterans and candidates respectively for state treasurer and auditor. Concerning Mr. Small the famous war veteran said: * "We have a duty in urging the election of Len Small for governor. The service men of the state of Illinois can look with pride upon the sympathetic attitude of Ex-Governor Small in handling the program of the service men. Monuments stand at Jacksonville, Elgin and Normal, showing the generous interest he had in behalf of the mentally ill and the disabled men who did not come under federal control. We can look at the school at Normal where the orphans of the veterans who died in the war, or aa a result, are given a genuine education and training that fits them for the years of life ahead. We can look to the law sponsored! by Governor Small giving to the veteran of the war the bonus. There can be no question in any mind, especially that of the service men, concerning the attitude of Ex-Governor Small towards the service man and his problems when elected governor." "Speaking of Senator Glenn, he said: "No one dare criticize the voting record of Senator Glenn. He has stood as a Republican, fighting against the ever-growing bureaucracy of government and extravagance of government, for balancing the budget, against the five and ten law and voting for that which in general is in the best interest of our country and our people." Savage declared that in his opinion "President Hoover ranks with the greatest of American Presidents." He said: "It has been his lot to have thrown into his administration the greatest problems and difficulties which have confronted any President since the time of Lincoln. He has demonstrated his loyalty to his party, his people and his country, by working untiringly to solve the difficult problems coming in the wake of a worldwide depression. No one can lay at the door of the President the CAUAPA of the depression th£t ha come as a backwash from failures of Europe. Yet with the mind of a genius, he has kept the country stabilized and its foundations sound. "Democratic service men and some others have attempted to raise the cry of an unsympathetic attitude of the President toward the veterans of the war in his position on the Soldiers' Bonus, and yet, the Democratic convention in Chicago last June adopted a resolution opposing the payment of the bonus, and Mr. Roosevelt, the Democratic nominee for President, has refused to issue any statement on the bonus, his only utterance has been: "I stand 100'c for the Democratic platform." His former associate, Alfred E. Smith, has indicated his opposition to the payment of the bonus and to the extravagant use of government money in connection with the service men. "In the final analysis, as service men, knowing that the majority of our comrades favor the immediate payment of the bonus, we must depend upon the judgement of the leaders of our national government, whether they be Republican or Democratic, to see that nothing is done which might wreck the very country under whose flag we stood in an emergency." The new executive committee of the Illinois Republican Service Men's League include five past commanders of the American Legion, Milton J. Foreman, Ferre Watkins, David Snillinglaw, Howard P. Savage and Arthur (Jack) Poorman, and the following: George Sugarman, Chairman; Phil Collins; Hamlet C. Ridgway; Emmet Grady; George Meehan; Carlos Ames; John Garrity; A. V.
