FATALLY HURT ANS WERSI VOTE atrMr. Runyard entered the race against Senator Swif t ofly AS AUTO PLUNM ES 1 PROBLFEMS OFV THE atra lot of his friends bad urged him to do so. It was a case- wbere the office sought the mian rather than the man the of- OVER EMB.&NkM%'T WOMEN VOTERS fice. It bas been conceded .all along thatt Senator Swift would corne up for re-nomination but reprepentative men in a lot Of Fve Escape'D eath Narrowly as Women in 'Lake County Need differejit lunes feit that the senator had not been as strong or Auto0s* rckJ na iliotRiiiefrPrmay active a man at Springfield as this district should have. -The fJgéRok. i terPnsinLw saine opinion prevailed in Mc-lIenry and Boone counties. Busi--.I- ness men in those tow count:es urged leaders in Lake county1 to bjiag forth a candidate other than Senator Swift assuring them that if they did, strong support would be given im in the two other counities. 1 At tast after surveying the situation it was felt thàt Mr. Runyard would maire a strouag candidate and at the saune time i f be was successf ul could make good in the important. off ice at Springfield. Ir. connection with the c3mpaign wbich these twýo men are onducting in a quiet way Senator Swif t has advanced as one of the arguments for bis r.-'ominLn the fact that the faimfiing interests of the district "require (fman wbo is farniliar wiîb farrning in the seratorial scat rathér tban an attorney," and lie orgues further that thcei arc too, many attor-neys at Sprngfield now. candidate Runyard h:î-s ansvered the argument and uiriir-d it to bis own advan'age in this way: He says that aft-r analyzing this point ho1evr that the years that be and Senator Swift bave passecd îhiougb sinte tbey came into busi- ness lfe and since ciidhood. he finds lie lias put in MORE YEARS bimself ON THE FARÎNI than Senator Swif t. Fur- thernîore, that be finds tiiat Senator Sift has followed- the praice, of law MORE YEARS THAN HIE HIMSELF. Mr. Runyard is well known throughout Lake county and throuighout the district and with the assurance that cornes from many -men throughout the county for support to a candidate wbo .%ould oppose Scnator Swif t it appears as tbough his chances are exceedingly brigbt for tbe nomination. It bas been a notable tbing- that during bis four years' in- cumbency Senator Swif t bas not kepî limself closely in touch with the people of the district and it is also titi&able,. to use the sang expression. that'be *"got bimself in'bad,- witl.i ev- eral important organizations in the district. maki'ng himelf d-cdedly unpopular amnong the farmers whom lie as sup- posel to bhave represented but isb Jave gone out at various tim-s ta attack bim on thc cdaim tlizit he was working agai nst tlueir intercsts rathier'th.,in for thern. The fact furtber is Sens'or Swift "gaI in bad- with the Arïican Legion at Libertyville, te legion goir.g so far es ta issue formai statements concir-ning the senator for lis posi- tion :n a certain matter-. Thîis, a nalyzing the cancddacy of the two men it appears ac if Mr-. Runyard at the prese4it kas by long odds tbe advan- tage over the senator fr-arnLibertyville-. It is recalled that Senator Swift's élection four years ago was brought about as a resuit of Senator Oison of Woodstock having died after he had been given tbe nomination by voters o! the district. He bad defeated Candidate Swift but after bie died thie general feeling was that be. Mr. Swift, had been hie opponent and sbould be accorded the recignition. According- ly lie was given the nomination by the senatorial committee wbose duty il was to select a candidate. Thus, Seniator Swift was neyer nominated b;; the people but was nomînated by the senatorial committee and it was due to tbis recognition that be finally found a place in Springfield. Now it will be tbe vote of tbe people of the district ta de- cide whether they want him or Mi. Runyard to go on the , ballot as the nominee. Mr. Runyard's friends insist that he bias tbe decided advantage in mariy respects and it appears as if such is tbe case. -MAYOR THOMPSON*S "VITAL ISSUES" (Chicago Daity News, August t2) "In ai campaign speech 'at Rockfocd Mayoî Thomnpson of Ci,:-r cago told bis hecar-ers that he waa trot sLeking e-ny ofiilce or favûr fr-n themn, tut had corne to diacuss vital i:t-ueso cf intcet ta -al citiieris- This was a piece of deliberaite miscreesi-,iCn. Fort 4bMavor- Thompson appeared in Rockford.for thc pur-pose of boort-t - ng candidates of his and Lundin's political machine foc high state and national offices. It is his present hope thus ta capture tl-e b state govcrnir.ent anrd alpl'y bis serlf ih and cuinous policies, on a wider scale, jr- a wider iterd. titan hie nov: alppiies them to the un- fimite hurt of Chicago. "The 'vital issues' *hat ostcnsibly took the Mayor ta, Rock- lord related ta street cafr tr-,>.-h faces in Rockford have been sncreascd ta 7 cents. Mayor- hrpo told bis auditors that t'ý.e Lo.v'den-Oglesby utilities commissioni' was responsible for the higher faces; th at furthec irtcreases may yt ttc ordered-by the samne state agency and tftat the remnedy lies in elerting a Thomnpsort- Lundin state ticket. "The question is: Will sach twaddle fool the peopre of Rock- ford? Street-,,car- lares have been raiseed in rçcent montbs in hun- dr-rda oI cities ail over the United States, Is the 'Lowden-Oglesb> commission' responsible for ail these increass? Seattle, where the streItt car fines are ownied by the city, bas io ceritý.r ares, tite raits having been doubled since the. municipality tIffl-er the car ini-s in April, i9u9. The intersttae commerce comn*Ion bas done msrtre rate, raising !ately. Would thse Thornpsoný-Lundin machine ha.,e preventedl these increases? Rates goup mainly because wages of worlrerm go up. But taxes go up ini Chicago under Thompson- Lundin ruic in large part because of scandalous, waste of publ:c fumais. When taxes go up rentsa and other living costm inevitably go up. Siuilar results are certain ta corne about in thic case of ate taxes and living costs throughout Illinois if this samne selfisb political syidicate succeeds in capturing the state government.
