A free press is vital to the liberty of any people and when you see governments surpressing freedom of speech, you witness a government that is getting ready to rule without regard to the wishes of the majority. (7 The front pagfe news about vital state legislation may attract the public's attention, but behind the scenes the members of the Illinois State Senate and House of Representatives are more concerned these days about their individual positions in the 70th Illinois General Assembly. This individual: concern and rivalry for positionis of influence began the day after the Nov. 6' elections and has just been resolved in the past several days. The top position in the House of Representatives has gone to Warren L. Wood (R-Plainfield) whp sfor the fourth consecutive session has been selected as Speaker of the House. Rep. Wood will personally name all of tjie committee chairmen and majorityofficers of this Chamber. The members of the Senate have picked Arthur J. Bidwill (R-River Forest) as their leader with the titje president Pro-tem. This was done several weeks ago. The other leaders of the Senate were selected more recently. The Senate committee on committees, of which the writer is a member, has named the membership of all-Senate committees. Republicans were named as chairmen of all committees. It can be revealed here that your senator ife the chairman of the important Senate committee on highways.

In New Jersey, there is another gentleman who has purchased every yearly model that Cadillac has produced over the past fifty-three years. These -are simply dramatic examples of one of the most remarkable truisms in_all motordom: that once a man takes the wheel of a Cadillac, he usually remains at the wheel of a Cadillac! To be sure, a motor car would have to offer many unique virtues in order to win so generous a place for itself in the affections of so many. And, in the case of Cadillac, we think these virtues are self-evident. There is, first of all, quality. No effort of design or craftsmanship is ever spared to make Cadillac the finest possible motor car. There is beauty and luxury. The car's magnificent styling and interior coachwork have, over the years, brought Cadillac an inbred majesty and elegance that are entirely its own. Then there is performance. In fact, Cadillac engineering has served as the industry's constant inspiration and taskmaster. Finally, there is reputation. Never" in automotive history has another mdtor car sustained such an abiding public conviction in its own goodness. And, without question, all of these basic Cadillac ingredients have this year reaped their richest harvest. So whether you've been at the wheel of a Cadillac for half a century ... or have yet to spend your first hour in the "car of cars" . . . you should see and drive this newest of Cadillacs.
