- The Lake County Register TWO TERMS THE INVIOLABLE RULE Republican voters of Illinois should remember some --of "the indications of the past that show the temper of the people when it is aroused. From the time of Washington the fundamental conception of a democratic government is that the executive shall not hold office through any considerable length of time. Kings and emperors'reign for life, but executives turn over the state to another to carry out the provisions of the laws after a term of office. Washington set the period term as two and so fnrmiy is this a part of our notions of the best plan to run a state that there are few if any deviations from this two term plan. In all the history of lllinois and its honored and great govern-- compensates a ors there has never been but one man elected a third time to gov-! ;fiso'x:rm:og ern the state, via: the hero of Forts Henry and Donelson and , some -- unknown Corinth. Because of a terrible wound at Corinth Richard J. Ogles-- l ggg;':';;'t':; by was forced to quit the army in 1864 as a Major General and 1 can't, nor ca was elected governor and served from 1864 to 1869. In 1872 he?"!"'B':f't Ig:;?

Deneen was elected governor and in 1908; he was re--elected. In 1912 he was again a candidate with a rec-' ord as "clean as a hound's tooth." Forgetting the inherent de-- mands of a democracy for a limited term as executive he went against this unwritten law and was beaten by Edward F. Dunne, a democrat, by more than 120,000 votes. Two terms is the slogan of the people and should Len Small be nominated he will surely go down before another democrat, even though he has a legion of payrollers, political dependents and rabbit shepherds, subsidized press, dozens of editors holding jobs and working but now and 'then, hundreds wanting roads and the largest fund ever collected; 6 Cane" ELECT--STRATTON AND CUT EXPENSES By nominating and electing William J. Stratton of Lake coun-- ty as secretary of state, the voters of Illinois will be saving the state the cost of special elections to fill the vacancies that would be left if either Vail, the present clerk of the Supreme court of II-- linois, or Judge Gentzel of Chicago were elected. Of course, the election of a Democratic candidate would eliminate the problem, but as Illinois has gone Republican so consistently, it is not prob-- able that she will change her tactics this year. to influence votes. Vail has five years left to serve in his present position. If he is elected secretary of state, it will cost the state $750,000 to hold a special election, as specified in the constitution, to fill the va-- cartcy left by his removal. Judge Gentzel has four more years to serve as judge of the City court of Chicago. If he is elected, the people of Chicago will have to spend added thousands in a special election to name his successor. Those expenses would be re-- flected in higher taxes. & Earl B. Searcy, who withdrew as a candidate for the position which Stratton is seeking, is in favor of the Lake county man as the mext secretary of state. In a letter to the News he explains ho the costs of running the state government would be reduced if Serattom is elected. Searcy's reason for favoring Stratton may be the saving of the taxpayers' money, but we are supporting Serattom because we know he is the best man for the job. The matter of saving special elections, though an important item, is matter of saving only a side issue. . EDITORIALLY SPEAKING That Lake county will go strong for Emmerson, Carlstrom, Glenn and Stratton is indicated by the regularity with which po-- ltical organizations and civic clubs are endorsing the candidacies of the anti--Small group. The latést organization to join the ranks of the new party is the Italo--American Political club of Deerfield sownship. Congratulations! Secretary of State Lou Emmerson, who is opposing Len Small for the Republican nomination for governor, is hitting at the heart of Small's political machine when he says that he will build more and better hard roads than the present governor has done. Ac-- cording to the way Small has been talking, one would believe that he was the only person in the world who could build roads. Know-- ing that Len has a habit of financing political machines with hard 1oads money, we feel confident that Emmerson, when he is in office, will show up Len's supposedly good record as a builder of roads. The less pblitics there is in highway improvement work, the more progress will be made. By handling the road construc-- tion as a matter of business and not of votes, Emmerson will turn out more miles of paved roads than did Small and he will save the people money in the batgain." > * Entered as second«clm matter October 13, 1916, at t.hcl 2 C P Vv! 1 Ca C smmanr , Jntc : * If Len Smail were as beautiful as "the face that launched a thousand ships" we would not object so much to his policy of lin-- ing the state highways with his posters, for there would be an acsthetic appeal to the decorations. As it is, we cannot see by what right the governor is able to violate the law by placing ad-- vertising signs on public rights of way and using state highway employes and equipment to put up personal advertisements. _ If figures do really talk, Secretary of State Emmerson is going to have a thousand extra speakers on his side in his campaign for the Republican nomination for governor. Regarding road mainte-- nance, which is one of Governor Small's pet arguments with the voters, Emmerson declares that the last legislature appropriated $4,300,000 for maintenance and that of this sum, $3,356,000 was paid out in salaries and traveling expenses. The Small adminis-- tration, apparently, was concentrating on the road to financial in-- dependence. AGAINST "LAME DUCK" SESSIONS s A constitutional amendment has been pending in congress and was recently deabated.'which provides that congress should meet January 4 following the November elections, instead of waiting 13 months until December of the next year, for its regular session to _ When people hire a man for a business job, they expect him to' report as soon as possible. So they can not see why congress should wait until 13 months after its election before beginning; its regular session. It can be called in special session in the March following election. But one would think--that in these quick mov-- ing times, its regular work should begin within two months after election. This change would do away: with the so--called lame duck session, which meets after many of its members have been returned to private life. FRANK H.
