We call attention to the large in- creases of taxes for the support of all departments of the government under the present administration in the state and county, and recall to the public recollection the campaign cries of the Democratic candidates and declarations of their party platforms in iSi2 against high taxes and ap- propriations.

The candidates on the regular Re- publican ticket for county commis- sioners from the "country towns," which 'term* ' includes everything in Cook county outside of the Chicago city limits, were chosen by the "Com- mittee of 200," an organisation chosen to represent all parts of the city and county. These candidates invite the 'approval of the voters of Evanstou and the north- shore at the September -primaries, and promise, If nominated, to conduct an aggressive campaign, and If elected to administer the affairs of the county in a business-like man- ner. state tax rate--the largest in the his- tory of the state--is the answer to Democratic charges and the condemn*- The committee of two hundred was appointed by the chairman of the Re- publican county executive committee, Mr. John F.

The committeemen from the thirty- five Wards of Chicago and the six county commissioners' districts in tion of Democratic administrations. County Commissioners. We call attention to the inefficient, wasteful and turbulent Democratic board pf county commissioners, which has disgraced the county, squandered the people's money and impaired the administration of the departments of the county government and the use- fulness of county institutions which should be devoted to the care of the worthy sick and poor. We especially emphasize the desirability to elect a full board of fifteen commissioners who will act harmoniously In the ap- proval of expenditures. We call attention to the harmony, economy and efficiency which pre- vailed in the last Republican board of county commissioners and contrast it with the wasteful expenditures of the present board. Sanitary District. We denounce the gross abuse of power by the present Democratic ma- jority of the board of trustees of the sanitary district of Chicago, as es- pecially exemplified by swollen pay- rolls, letting of extravagant contracts, destruction of efficiency in the staff ol employes and the recent effort to in- crease the city street light rate, which we brand the most wicked of the many assaults that have been made against the sanitary district's hydroelectric plant. We emphasize the necessity for continuance of astute, stern and untiring welfare during the next two years, while the Democratic majority remains In power, to the end that, in 191C, control of the sanitary district his ■■ItauM for the judicial office and ladhaliw what he might do against opposition parties In ord to accomplish partisan purposes. The comment of the supreme court of Illi- nois in People vs. McWeeney. 259 Illinois 171, la significant: "Owens had no authority to organize the con- vention or determine who should organise !t, and the making of the order and personal attempt to enforce it were an inexcusable disregard of the law and the statutes." Municipal Court. We call attention to the steady de- terioration In the personnel of the judges of our municipal court from the high standard maintained by the Republican party, and present to the Codk county recommended to the mW De wrested from its enemies and chairman one delegate for each two may be entrusted to the Republican thousand votes cast at the November party. public a list of candidates who will re- store that court to its former effi- ciency and place In the public confi- dence. County Treasurer. We call attention to the dispute be* tween the county treasurer and the public regarding the interest on the public funds In his custody. We bold that the Interest on public funds be- longs to the people, to be faithfully accounted for and lodged in the public treasury. In accordance with these views, our candidate for county treas- urer has pledged himself to turn the interest on public funds into the county treasurer, and to afford every facility to the public, public agencies or civic bodies for the inspection of his books and publication of his ac- counts. Probate Judge. We point to the long and honorable list of Republican judges of the pro- bate court, and have recommended a candidate who will maintain the high traditions of the party in the adminis- tration of this great office. Revenue. The intolerable" inequalities in the taxation of personal property should be removed by a revision of our reve- nue laws which will make them just in their provisions and equal in their application. Such a revision would produce larger public revenues with a smaller rate of taxation, and would satisfy the public that the burdens of government were equally distributed. Short Ballot. We favor the short ballot and the consolidation of the departments of the government where these reforms can be achieved without sacrifice of efficiency and economy. Woman Suffrage.

His tent, Over which waves the red cross flag, Is as complete a mlnia tore hospital as can be conceived. Two cots for patients, three stretch- ers, a sanitary washstand and-medi- cine chest form the major part of the furnishings. Every appointment Is spotlessly clean and the surgeon works in the spotless white uniform of the regular hospital attache. An emergency case fitted with every known surgical.instrument and medi- cine to kept within easy reach so that when a call for the doctor comes from the arena he to ready to treat the pa- tient without moving to the hospital tent. Yards and yards of bandages, splints, and other hospital accoutre- ment are placed within easy reach on canvas shelves around the tent, while the hospital department Is one of the most interesting departments of the vast expanse of canvas that the wild west will bring to Evanston for two performances, matinee and night, on Monday, Aug. 24,. The "buckers." who are responsi- ble for a majority of the accidents, are natural, Irreclaimable fighters and their battling instincts can hardly.be corrected. Three or four sets a sea- son are required, for sooner or later the cowboy champions subdue the brutes and finally "break them." Then they are sent back to the ranch to be replaced by fresh fighters. At every performance, the cowboys mount different horses, and the spec- tator will see an arena full of bucking and battling horses, no two of which use the same tactics to unseat the rider. . ^ -, One of tlio.se quadrupedal concen- trations of chain lightning will allow himself to be hitched and saddled be- fore letting loose the pent-up deviltry with which his hide Is stuffed, another will fight at the mere sight of the sad- dle, while others will quietly submit to being saddled, when their limit of endurance is reached.

To give him final authority in fixing charges to be paid by him to the railroads and compel the carry- ing of the mails at those charges to not a fair proposition. I am not unmindful of the fact that the railroads have not always been fair with the government In this mat- ter of railway mail pay. For yean they were overpaid. But today, due hugely to the enormous growth of the parcels post, the railroads are carrying the mails under their con- tracts at a toss. I do not believe in coring one wrong by another. The pay should be readjusted on a basis assuring fairness both to the govern- ment and to the railroads. - Two years ago a commission was appointed to study this Intricate question and report a proper solution of it to congress. That commission has gone into the matter fully and impartially, and announces that its report will be submitted to congress within a few weeks.

We believe in the application of the principle of civil service to the public service of the county and of the sani- tary district of Chicago, and favor the passage of a law by the general as- sembly to that end. We call attention to the marked contrast in the enforce- ment of civil service laws under the Democratic and Republican adminis- trations. Examination of Public Offices.

WOULD HELP COUNTRY TOWN "Get Rid of Be--es* Is Slogan ef Speakers In Whirlwind Campaign Being Conducted In All Sub- urban Communities. Reiterating the pledges of their plat- form, that If elected they will give Cook county the finest roadways la the United States, the candidates for county commissioners from the coun- try towns Indorsed by the Citizens' Republican committee are making a {whirlwind canvass. Open-air meetings are being held from night to night In the various country towns of the coun- ty and large gatherings of voters listen to the arguments aet forth by the can- didates. The good-roads plank Is the moat Important one In that platform. The candidates believe that a county ot the magnitude and importance of Cook, with its empire of beautiful country towns, should become famous the world over for Its splendid high- ways. This would mean more pros- perity for the smaller towns, add to thrift of their business men and make them more enjoyable places of abode. It Is explained by the speakers that while the cost of such an elaborate roadway system might be heavy in the aggregate only nine per cent of this expense Is borne by the suburban communities through which the roads pass. Other candidates Indorsed by the Republican citizens' committee are accompanying these speakers. Promi- nent among them Is Edward Earl O'Neil, Republican candidate for the nomination tor sheriff; Joseph H. Mac- auley, candidate tor clerk of the ap- pellate court, and James H. Lawley, candidate for county clerk and present alderman from the Fourteenth ward. Chicago. The candidates for county commissioner who are making the campaign In this connection are John P. O'Connor. Fred D. Mateer, Samuel & Dlngee. Frederick A. Rows. Charles H. Thomas. These candidates represent a move- ment designed to Infuse new blood Into the Republican party. They de dare In their speeches that the time has come to get rfd of the bosses that have dominated the affairs of Cook county since time immemorial They declare that baas-rale baa brought about a distribution ot patronage sat- isfactory to politicians only without regard to the interests of the voters aad the community at huge; quarrels and shortcomings of the pres- ent local government are so well known and have become so Odious that It Is generally accepted that a sweep- ing change must be made * The speakers at all their meetings point out that In their belief any man who accepts public office should bo prepared to discharge the duUes there- of from the regular compensation pro- vided by law. Particular stress Is laid on the fact that the treasurer of Cook county should pay into the treasury all interest received by him from the public funds. The speakers pledge that their candidate for county treas- urer, Frank I. Bennett, will do this. Among other things urged by the speakers Is woman suffrage. They de- clare that the decision of the supreme court of Illinois confirming the woman suffrage act renders the limited voting privilege now enjoyed by women in- defensible. They urge the granting of complete and unrestricted suffrage to women. Owing to the multiplicity ot candidates for elective offices the Re- publican Citizens' platform - r ecoav mends legislation which will shorten the ballot and materially reduce the number of elective officers. In fact, the speakers representing this ticket and this platform axe urging the vot- ers to proclaim a new regime aad change completely the present unsatis- factory conditions of affairs. o^my., PIE AND POLITICS Republican Candidate for Sheriff In* troduces Eating. Contest as Campaign Innovation. A new way of arousing interest In a political campaign wag unfolded la Chicago a few nights ago when Edward Earl O'Neill, the Republican Citizens' committee candidate tor the nomina- tion tor sheriff, pulled off a pie-eating contest In one of the darky districts of the South side. O'Neill had been in- vited by the pastor of a colored church to come out and address the members of his flock. The church was filled and the sidewalks aad streets In front of the edifice were lined with listeners, but Instead of taking up the entire evening with speeches O'Neill sent out and bought all the pies aad watermelons that could he found. Then the contest began. Pie attar pie and melon after melon disap- peared. Small boys began to show symptoms of taking on unusual weight and slender youths suddenly toned themselves possessed of expansive waist lines. O'Neill aad the pastor of ,t the church were the Judges aad refer- ees and awarded the honors where they rightfully belonged. Attar the contest was over the contestants sat down In easy chairs and were compli- mented by Candidate O'Neill for their-- w«<«ninml/> n htllt r On ft «m«H DOT. when aaked how he could stow away so much pie la each a short time, said: "Well, boss, Ah didn't eat It; Ah Just inhaled it."
