City Editor IT'S OLSON OR SIIHJRTLEIF. In announcing ini these columns that it is our belief thUat State Senator Albert J. Oison of Woodstock is en- î 1Wsd te a returu to the Senate, we do it with'a full realîza- tdon of the. fact that some persons will become "peeved" ôver our decision to, support Mdr. Oison as against the man whom a number cf local men saw fit te bring inute race lo be backed by an florganization" consisting of some Lake County. men and the Shurtiefff crowd cf McHe2iry County. W. realize that some criticism May ' cone te us frein :,ý rt.ain seîu'ces because we bave zýeen 13-tr tr support a. XcHenry County man for Senator against a Lal7e Coaty mun. But, vs ask tuis question in ail fairness: Who is the OPe aéte decide whether we shall support the McHENRit OOUNTY M" FOR SENATOR .AND THE LARE COUNTY *-N FOR STATE REPRESENATIVE-or- IIM cRENRY COUNTY MAX< FOR REPRE8l.;!TA.

The Shurtieff fellows in Mny Oounty are a clever buncli of politicians sud they * l teir game when they helped arrange thiz plan of ac- -1hey. thouglit of Lake County once. andspf Shurtleif an làs sat twice or thino..

'The only reason they did se, vas te try and make Shunt- Jeffs set i thehoue seureand, if possible, try te )eat 1liurtleff's Imodo, Mr. Oison. Il therefore was't becauge thie Shurtlef feilows loved Lake Ceanty most, and thub proniised te join lu helping elect a Lake County man Sena- t-or, but because they wanted heip te save Shj.rtleff .
