The practicability of a study of the Tennessee Valley Authority by another Federal agency, the Federal Trade Commission, is openly scouted as both groups are directly responsible to the Administration. The peevishness of the T. V. A.'s two Morgan's and Lillenthal covers the politicians with dark fog. Each official wants a clean bill of health to justify his policies at T.V.A., without regard to where the mud hits. The Senate Civil Liberties Committee under the guidance of Senator La- Follette, of Wisconsin, finds itself in paradoxical situation. Authorized by a Senate resolution to investigate conditions affecting "civil liberties" or I rights, the committee has sought to' establish facts relating to terrorism .or methods of employers in blocking growth of unionism. Their inquisitorshave ransacked offices and fUes of employers to obtain evidence on which to build a case and influence public opinion. Now comes a challenge which the committee cannot well dodge on the basis of their own admissions--that scores of business men are under subpoena even though their testimony has been given. Somehow Mr. La- Follette refuses to release these industrialists from the covert threat of being called to the stand at the whim of the two-man committee or actually to suit the fancy of the corps of leftwing probes employed by the Senate group. No union leaders are singled out for the intimidations of a Senate subpoena which raises a question in political circles as to when civil liberties are infringed and by what fictions the committee justifies its descriptive title.

(Political Advertisement) ROY J. STEWART ' Republican Candidate For - STATE REPRESENTATIVE^ : r , _ ; I l l i n o i a L , ; (Boone, McHenry and Lake Counties) ^ f O Roy J. Stewart of Woodstock, a former member of the Illinois Legislature during the 55th. General Assembly, is again a candidate for the nomination from the Eighth Senatorial District, which comprises Lake, McHenry and Boone Counties. Mr. Stewart was born fad raised on a farm hear Richmond, Illinois. He served McHenry County as (piief Deputy Sheriff from 1914 to 1918, was elected. Sheriff and served as such from 1918 to 1922. During his term as Sheriff the "Search and Seizure" Law went into effect, making it unlawful to transport intoxicating liquor within the State. Mr. Stewart, as sheriff, handled this situation in a manner very competently and effectively, with little expense to the county. In 1922 he was elected County Treasurer, and as such installed a complete new system of collecting taxes, which system saved the county a large sum of money each year. The same system is now used in nearly all counties in th& state. His services in public office have well qualified him to serve his District, and his ability is not questioned by any one who knows him. At the present time he is Supervisor of the Township of Dorr in McHenry County, Illinois, and attending to the arduous duties of conducting relief work, which under the law is imposed upon his office. The records of his office will show that Dorr Township stands near to the top in the matter of faithful and effective handling of this big problem. In his former years he was an employee of the Oliver Typewriter Company in ^Woodstock, which employment gives.Mr. Stewart a familiarity with the problems of industry, and he is well qualified to meet the problems now confronting the people in regard to both labor and capital. His former services make him the logical man for the Republican Party to send to the Legislature as their representative from the Eighth Senatorial District. In the present political turmoil, the need of an experienced man, with force and leadership, is the demand of the present time. • iii ; o step out in • • • up in traffic. ft 4IMBIML MIM'OW Tilt MS TO MIT VOOR FUNM ONLY LOW-PRICED CAR WITH SAFETY SHIFT A.
