WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1920 _ -- CLAIM WOMEN FAVOR OGLESBY CANDIDACY Prominent Illinois Women Head List on Appeal To Ccntinue Institu- tional Program Women, ever the champions of the sick and helpless, are being urged to use their first full voting privilege to protect the inmates of state in- stitutions. An appeal signed by rominent Illinois women who were identified with the campaigns of the leading presidential candidates last spring, has been sent out to the women of the state urging them to vote for good government at the primaries by supporting the ticket which is pledged to carry out the in- stitutional program now in force. The signatures of Mrs. Fletcher Dobyns, chairman of the Women's Division of the Lowden campaign ; Miss Harriet Vittum, chairman for women in the Wood forces, and Mrs. Joseph F. Nachbour of the Illinois committee; Mrs. Benjamin Lang- worthy representing the Hoover or- anization, head the list with Mrs. arlan Ward Cooley, former pres- ident of the Chicago Woman's club and Mrs. Joseph T. Bower, president of the Woman's City club, who was, during the war, chairman of the oman's committee of the Council of Defense, Illinois division. Display Deep Interest "We know the women of Illinois are interested in the care of the in- sane, the epileptic, the feeble-mind- ed, the orphans and delinquent and dependent children," says the letter. "All state institutions come under the control of the governor. On the men appointed by him to manage the institutions, depends the happi- ness and even the life of thousands of men, women and children who are unable to care for themselves. "If a governor is elected who re- turns political favors by appoint- ing incompetent people to take charge of state institutions, then the innocent will suffer. Since the rati- fication of the federal suffrage amendment by Tennessee, the women of Illinois are entitled to vote at the September primary for all can- didates including governor and Unit- ed States senator. The women of Illinois by their united vote will make a great difference in the out- come of the election and can help to elect a man who will carry out the olicy inaugurated by Governor owden. "Under his able management and his re-organization of departments, the state finances have been econ- omically conducted, state taxes have been reduced, but this reduction was not accomplished at the expense of the wards of the state, and it has resulted in increased efficiency and better care in all state institutions. See Thompscn Menace "Those who live in and near Chicago recognize the menace of the present city administration. Under it, not only is life and property not safe, but the youth of our city is being demoralized because of the non-en- forcement of our laws. If this ad- ministration captures the state, in- competent people will, for political reasons, be appointed in all state institutions and we will have dealt a death-blow to the moral and phy- sical welfare of thousands of people. "If Lieutenant Governor Oglesby is elected, he will follow in the foot- steps of his predecessor, as he has frequently expressed himself as be- ing in full sympathy with the en- lightened program carried on by Governor Lowden. "It is in the province of women to fight for the sick and the helpless and for the little children who are unable to look aut for themselves. Women of Illinois! Arouse yourselves and make a desperate fight to elect a man on whom we may rely, not only for a wise administration but one who will see that our handi- capped population is protected." % Le (( Printing Bring Clients Not every business has a show window. If you want to win more clients, use more printing and use the kind of printing that faithfully represents your business policy. You save money and make money for your patrons. Do the same for yourself by using an economical high grade paper -- Hammermill Bond --and good printing, both of which we can give you. If you want printing service and economy -- give use a trial.

Schaed- ler, 301 Sheridan road, shortly follow- ing the signing of the Armistice. This movement received the hearty en- dorsement and support of the late Right Rev. Father Vattmann. The committee worked under government supervision and was materially aid- ed by Governor Frank O. Lowden. The following telegram was receiv- ed from the governor in November, 1919. "My dear Mrs. Schaedre--May you be altogether successful in your en- terprise. Surely the little children are not responsible for the war. The question now is one of humanity. I am mailing you my check for .. ..."
