In spite of all this his administration has been marked by great ... pre Much legislation in behalf of the people, hundreds of miles of good roads, regulation of public utilities so they could and would serve to the best interests of all, have been among the principal achievemnents. i @ The Governor is deeply appreciative of the people who have ...";:vn} they are not unmindful of honest, conscientious ser-- rendet public officials, This was shown in. a forgeful ter in the pfimary 'and clection campaigns of 1924, when Gov-- " and his fgithful ascistants were 'returned to office in nt victory despite the facy that his political enemies had re-- --__ But i fla&éfih'fi:mtmmmw.mm;m * sided a "%'d session and held the gavel for perhaps half an hour; / In that capacity he performéd a number of import-- ant acts and his name goes down into history as the presiding of-- Kicer of what promises to be one of the most important séessions of the Illinois legislature.' It was a--nice piece of recognition given '%o Mr. Weiss by men from all over this state and following so closely the big banquet tendered him by Lake County people in Waukegan it should make him fceel that he has established a name for himself not only in the district but throughout the state. -- _ _ Representative William F. Weiss of Lake County has reason 3 gremigem Nola P P s o feel proud over the fact that he was recognized by the Legislat--| Held Offices Under <independ-- 'ore of this state by being selécted temporary speaker at the open--| 'gnt ne; Was Follower ing of the m-n geheral assembly in Springficld on Wednes-- of Voliva. on co--operation from the speakership chair with the Chief Execu-- tive. In this respect of course the Governor will have the co--opera-- tion of Mr. Scholes who has always gone along with him in admin-- istrative matters. a > x _------ It must be admitted that Weiss has a mind of his own and therefore just because he has been classed with the Brundage fol-- lowing, it is no reason to think that he will carry any brief for the former Attorney. General in the present session. He never did so when Brundage was in office and thercfore will not do so now but m'fll support Gaovernor Small's administrative> matters in-- sofar as they appeal~to"him a$ being substantial and right. --° _ _« Mr, Weiss, although he has been classed as a cohort of the Brundage faction has not been the least backward about declaring positively that he is going along with administrative matters in and will support those things now as he always has, which gm for the best interests of the people regardless of party affiliations or personal feclings of those who might wish to dic-- . -- In this connection it must be recalled that Weiss supported the Governor's hard road program, that he fought on the floor of the House--an effort to cut out the game and fish department ap-- propriation and that he stood for several other important matters that the Governor was urging and which the anti--Small forces were trying to bring into defeat. J *' The present session of the legislature promises to be one of the most important held in many decades, There are so ml:g big problems up and for the first time in a couple of sessions elimifiation of factional fights from certain state officers will be the feature of the deliberations. In short, it looks as though the legislature is to go along in a harmonious way and 'adopt legisla-- tion of importance 'and value to the state by forgetting many of the personal feelings that have existed in the past. " tate to him, x Weiss starts out very nicely 'in this the fifty--fourth Gen--. eral Assembly and probably will be heard from frequently in im-- portant legislative : activities. / M ,«, It's no small honor to be even temporary speaker of the Illi-- nois legislature--and, Mr. Weiks has had that honor, one which comesto but few persons. Who knows, it may be the start of & ride into the permanent position two years hence? ' Governor Small has a. definite program in mind for his next four years and it will be given to the Legislature a+ ts session : ---- GOV. SMALL KEEPS FAITH WITH PEOPLE. :; Governor Smail, who on Monday was inaugurated as chief mcutivc of Illinois for a second term, has kept faith with the people of the state by carrying out in.every detail the promises he rt a little more than four years ago when he: was a candidate. t that time he told the people that if clected he would be guided )n every official act by what he believed to be right and the best Interest of all the people.> -- -- There is no discounting the fact that the success of the ANOTHER VICTORY FOR THE GOVERNOR OeC oT NICE KRECOGNITION FOR WEISS. 4e sAfi &',m"fl' ; *#.,; la 4t ntation.
