Stratton, Lake county man, candidate for Secretary of State, because we believe che voters of the state will use discretion in this particular office. However, at this time in view of the fact that some of the county papers last week carried a statement with the signatures of Em-- merson, Carlstrom, Glenn and Stratton, attached it seemed as though , Mr. Stratton himself invites the explanation which we make at this time. In the statement signed by these four candi-- dates who are opposing the Small slate, the heading ~appears, "Housecleaning Time," and the statement goes ahead and appeals to voters to "clean out the whole Small administration." One sentence of the statement signed by Stratton and the others reads er he had the excilusive privilege in personally naming the men fromLakoComtyandmdthemmgotpnlhnp this so--called machine. Even friends of Mr. Stratton think it a very unwise thing for him to have done to affix his name to a statement of this sort which really means he is chastising the Governor for having allowed him (Stratton) to put men on the state payroll. In other words Mr. Stratton by affixing his name to the state-- ment issued by the four candidates says that the political ma-- chinewhichbehelp;dt::hhmgwdmd:::nldbomm: he is asking voters county to support men says are going to kick off the payroll THE VERY MEN he was the means of having appointed.
