That's why the jurymen were stunned beyond expression at Edwards' unaccountable and unexpected severity. Of course the dignity of the court must always be up-- held! --Of course, always! The sad feature of the affair in the minds of the jurors NOW is that they didn't FIGURE right; one of them admitted that they thought perhaps Edwards would impose a small fine. to uphold the jury's position--and the law would have been upheld; but not one of them for a minute expected the judgeto '"go the limit" in what he COULD do under the law-- he couldn't possibly haye given him over STX months! _For a young man who never took any active part in politics until last spring when he was a candidate for mayor, Leslie N. George, mow a candidate for state sena-- tor from this, the 8th senatorial district, is certainly mak-- ing rapid progress in forming acquaintances over the city of Waukegan, county of Lake and also in the counties of McHenry and Boone. ' c w . Mr. George has thrown down the gauntlet to Sena-- tor Rodney Swift; the elderly statesman who has MIS: represented this district at Springfield in the Senate for the past 8 years. ~Mr. Swift, it is recalled, was a political accident, having succeeded to the toga held by A. J. Olsen of McHenry county when the political situation was in a tumult some cight years ago. ° -- > io the jot of the Waukegan young man to do this very thirg. > * e With Senator Swift opposing the good roads. pro-- gram being furthered in lllinois and with his inability to assist Lake County in its. desire of getting roads be« cause of the fact.that he was so entirely out of tune in Springfield, the' fact has 'béén apparent that @wift did more to STAND IN THE WAY of Lake County getting road matters adjusted thin any senator representing different districts in the state. use ge : 2 * Further than that Swift in his record,in Springfheld was found opposed to various measures that could .be called %lbgressive. He was never' to be. found on the RIGHT SIDE of anything. His opposition to the sol-- dier's bonus, to the eight hour law for women, t6 the farmers' co--operative bill and some of the other import-- ant matters of legislation, was one of the conspicuous features of the last session. s k ~ The many mistakes Swift made at Springfield while senator from this district brought about a gituation where somebody had to go out and unseat him and it has fallen to the lot of the Waukegan young man to do this very thirg. > ~ s During the past cight years Lake County's repre-- sentative in the state senate has been a very poor exeuse for a district of this importance. 'That is why the senti-- ment has swept over the county and a change should be made. _ It's said that Judge Edwards denied the report that he hurt his back badly. when he bent dver backwards last Monday in "mlintlilng the dignity of the law and ¢ourt'"' when he sent King to jail for THIRTY PDAYS, It's not hard to determine among the populace of Lake County WHO is held in more contempt just now, Ralph King, who was sentenced FOR it or those who put him IN it. *3 % ns s ' And Mr. George, a hustling young businegs man nf!
