His infererice is that the fact the Gover-- nor honored these men is®an argument AGAINST him getting support in Lake County, ~By the same token one would con-- clude that the defeat of Governor Small might work to the bene-- fit of Mr. Just. By the deeds, by the efforts and accomplish-- ments of the ones Small has favored, compared to the record of "The Banner Republican County of Illincis, Lake County," reads a banner in the glass case at the state capitol, Springfield, We were given the banner years ago when they used to award banners for such things. ~ And, when Lake Countyites used to go to Springfield {before Small became governor), as they gased at that banner they'd say to themselves and friends standing near-- by : "Yes, and that's all we ever got from any governor, just a banner." BUT, WHEN SMALL BECAME GOVERNOR, the value of the banner became nil and HE SAW TO IT that Lake County WAS GIVEN SOME STATE PATRONAGE whereas it NEVER HAD A PIECE OF IT BEFORE. For years we had carried the banner but had nothing but votes to support it--under Smaill we got the recognition ALL PREVIOQUS GOVERNORS had refused us despite our Republican majorities. t Just, we submit it to you to answer according to YOUR judg-- ment which is best! * i If you figure it on the basis of what he has done for Lake County in the matter of recognition on road 'requests, the giving of state patronage to Lake Countyites, Governor Small OUGHT to get go per cent of the votes of the county. And it's our belief M&mh»mNOTNRGETPULMMMMd what he has done in these lines. -- And, in this connection, f don't forget this when you hear antis kicking on the distribution. of state patronage: THE JOBS are created, not by the gover-- nor, but by the LEGISLATURE, and a governor merely FILLS THEM. And so, isn't it GREAT that Len Small, for the first time in history HAS GIVEN SOME OF THOSE JOBS to Lake County men instead of putting them all in other counties as ALL OTHER GOVERNORS HAVE DONE! Wouldn't YOU rath-- er have ANY Lake County man so recognized than to have. the recognition ALL go to other counties? If not, how do you measure your loyalty to Lake County? .. -- ---- *»ven't come.

According to the charges made by Judge Pil-- low in Southern Illincis, this interest monrey has amounted to great sums because the auto funds are not turned over in rapid-- fire order by the Secretary of State but are kept: on hand some-- times for almost a year. Now the question is,; where does that money go and where HAS it gone? Furthermore, the question his been asked of Mr. Emmerson, as to who gets the profit off the manufacture of the license plates. Sov¥ar as known there has never been an accounting cf this profit represented between the cost of the plates and what is charged to the individual autoist at any time. When Mr. Emmerson 'became Secretary. of State tweive years ago he was credited with being worth $20,000..

Smith before, that if Illinois. voters again express themselves in His favor there will be no alternative but to give him the seat. If a soverign state can be refused representation after the voters have declared themselves with emphasis then what is there left to insure the permanency of our--union of states?
