Jackson, candidate for Republican nomination for the [lli-- nois house of representatives at the primaries April 13, is by experence and occupation peculiarily adupted to this place at the present time when the people of the Eigth district com-- posed of Boone, McHenry and Lake counties, need the services of men of business experience as weli as men of tried ability and independence. _ Mr. Jackson as & boy--was thrown upon his own resources, worked as a wage earner and farm 'aborer in Vermont before coming west as a lad. After looking over various towns and cities he picked Marengo as a right good 'place to live, w later brought his mother and sister west to establish a home. He engayg-- ed in the dairy supply business and later in general merchandiss. Maren go people remember him well as a fellow townsman, and residents of McHenry county generally know him and have confidence in his ability and integrity. As a matter of fact, Mr. Jackson is a man of two counties, for while he at present lives at Belvi-- dere, much of his active life was spent in McHenry county and he was for many years had close business lrehtions with a large number of people in Marengo and vicinity,. > | His business experience has been varied and succesful, he is a man of gond judgement, sagacity, and inde-- pencdence, with many elements of popularity. Just at this time he seems to be the logical candidate to shoose from this district; a business man, who understands the problems that business men of the district meet: an independent man who un-- derstands politics without being a politician; a farmer by experience «4nd by the fact that today he owns 2 fine herd of full blood Holstein arl Guernsey cattle at his place east of Marengo in McHenry county He is thke only--candidate in' the ficld who is cirectly. interested in the dairy business and who has passed through wit} the dairymen the troubles that have been theirs. Thos ha is well Leq:'.imved by experience and assoc-- lation to represent in the <asembly this great dairying district, where almost every farmer's welfare is touched by milk legislation, and many of whose problems 'can bost be solved by a sensible applicatien of good business judgement.. He :« a direct representative of a sec-- 'ion of the people who~ should be reprcsented in the legislature. As a member of the legislature during the past téerm Mr. Jacksunl made a good record, that statement bein« endorsed by the Legislative: Voters®: League in a recent pubile statement. During the past term th's district has been represented in tke house of representatives by three Republicans, a condition that the Republicans of the district wi.l wish to continue. Mr. Jackson comes from the small county of the dis'rict, a county which casts the lL.rgest Republican vote of the dis trict in proportion to its populat-- ion, but where there are not suf-- ficient votes to nominate or elect un-- less the voters of MeHenry and Lake counties eontribute to the support of Mr Jackson. --This has been done generously in the past, McHenry ix standing loyally by, and Lake In both McHenry and Lake it is recognized that Boone county is --en-- title! to one of the four places in the state legislature from this dis-- trict, and the only way to give them that recognition and to insure a schd Republican delegation from tiis heavily Republican district is for the voters of McHenry and Lake to split part of their support to Mr Jaekson.--Belvidere Republican.
