It's all right TO BE FOR Bill Stratton, but, just because Bill dropped off the Governor's ship, by himself cutting the anch-- onge,isno*tfiponwhy_appneiadnLabe'County voters should forget the FAVORS ALREADY SHOWN our county ?Qfiovo ernor Small, And, let's not forget that HE'S GOING TO BE x« ~-- _ RE--ELECTED as sure as you're born and Lake County will still WANT and EXPECT important favors. Just because one Lake County man, to satisfy his rightful prerogative, burned his bridges behind him so far as Governor Small is concerned, is o reason why the county itself should jeopardize its own ability to seek and get its just recognition. l of Instead of Attorney General Carlstrom being an asset to the Eimmerson ticket in Illinois it is proving a handicap which , Mr. Emmerson will have difficulty carrying along. As Carlstrom gets up now and urges people to vote for Emmerson to the de-- feat of Small, the same people are listening to him who heard him four years ago BEGGING and URGING voters to syupport Small for governor. The people listening to Carlstrom now think back at what he said before and wonder whether--he was sincere THEN or whether he'is sincere NOW, and if he is not sincere NOW how could he have been sincere THEN? And if not sin-- cere THEN how could he be sincere NOW?. Caristrom really therefore, is a load for Emmerson 'to carry chicfly because he does not seem consistent and never has been. Asaflm:r. Carlstrom certainly earned the concrete collar button in IIli + All you have to do in order to make up your mind which man to vote for for U. S, Senator is to take one look at or hear seven words from the two candidates, Colonel Frank L Smith and Otis looking man with a soft, firm and decisive delivery and wonder-- ful personality, contrasted with his opponent Glenn, who is a snarly, sneery, vicious speaker with the sort of a personality that indicates instanter that he would not be received in the u.'& Sen-- ate with any degree of influence and prestige. Just take a look at the two men and hear them talk and we are willing to accept your judgment on the same. ® y % Senator Swift is telling oyer the district that it was his bill, Senate Bill 306 which was passed by the legislature and which brought compensation to 294 farmers in the district for cattle lost in the tuberculin testing--WHEN THE FACTS ARE: Swift's bill was NOT the bill which was adopted but it' was the McCarthy bill, 572, which was passed and it was far different than the Swift bill which was set aside for the other bill. Yet Mr. Swift seeks to tell the farthers that HE\got thern their comperisation. And, in-- cidentally, farmers of the district, just remember that Len $mail lost no time in signing that bill for your compensation, and you KNOW he's concerned in your welfare whenever matters arise in Springfield, so, why experiment with a change by getting a man in the executive chair who has not been tried and whose policy teward the farmer--is entirely speculative? es % ° W# #_*--4» s + ul eP 14 t C PC 0 1 0 Pes eebdl e oc( C oo C on se NP Ceaineiere /WM ty --ARMEEV ty "AARKE +6 -- §E Y UE EUE X PLEW Y & Litk cA Small ticket by being --induced to say that "Small's re--election | for--the past seven years who put id the--best highways in the en-- | representati will be a disgract to the state" but instead the reaction has been |tire United States and that without a single cent of direct taxa-- Colgnel Sm stupendous. | Men and women who have not been> particularly | tion, 5 se .. +4# The state a friendly to the governor have awakened to the realization that Mr. Third----He is a farmer--banker, a downstate man who was | Legislature Stratton has displayed a trait of human character. whith his|reared on a farm and talks the language of the mfi:-- the | Court: hold: friends didn't think was in him; they gave him credit for being problems of the rural sections and has opposed every effort of one | majority is more of a man than to do such a thing to the man who had done | section to dominate another." ~-- _ * ' atate.= It is on the governor the minute the governor had made him attorney You notice that the Tribune isn't saying a great deal FOR Emmerson as a candidate' for governor----they~merely are at-- tacking Small right and left, in the hopes that those --attacks might result in Emmerson's nomination without the Tribune hav-- ing gone on record as COMMENDING EMMERSON as the right:" The crowd that went, went there to show: horior to the Lake County man and even the small crowd that gathered, wasn't by any means an anti--Small gathering.
