James G. Welch Candidate for States Attorney Subject to action of the Republican Primary, September 13th, 1916 An Open Letter You imply that if I am nominated and elected it will mean a wide-open Waukegan. If you mean by this that my office will be open to all classes of people whether they be rich or poor. promin- ent or obscure, you are exactly right. But if you mean. sir. that I shall directly or indirectly connive with any interests so that such interests may violate the law-I say to you that if you were a citi- zen of Lake County and knew my record as an educator and law- yer you would know that my oath of office will be as sacred to me as it could be to Ralph J. Dady or any other man that is support- In conclusion I defy you or any man to point to a single in- stance where I have been untrue to a client. Upon my election to oflice 0f State’s Attorney of this county my client will be Lake County and I shall do my duty fearlessly. honestly and fairly. not. withstanding the cowardly attack which you have made upon me. Very truly yours. k The reason of the widespread movement among the people of Lake County to oust Mr. Dady from the office which he has held for eight years is the real issue and the only issue of this cam- paign. It is not what Mr. Dady is but what Mr. Dady stands for that we condemn. Dadyism, not Dady. is the real issue. Dady- ism stands for ring rule. Dadyism stands for a political machine. Dadyism means an organization of which Dady is the chief expo- nent, the avowed and open purpose of which is to perpetuate cer- tain persons in power. Dadyism is a vicious circle in Lake County politics. Dadyism is a Lake County Tammany of which Dady is the chief Sachem. The people know this and neither you nor any other man in Chicago can shift from the real issue to a specious or a dead issue. I hold no brief from Major A. V. Smith but I desire to say that your insinuation against my opponent, Major A. V. Smith. is a base and baseless calumny. Mr. Smith has entered this race in- spired by the encouragement of substantial law-abiding elements in Lake County. Your suggestion that he has been tricked into becoming a candidate by the liquor traflic is as untrue as your en- tire letter is unjust. You are attempting to re-open an issue which has been de- cided. The people of Waukegan Township have by a large ma jor- ity voted the saloons out of Waukegan. That question is settled and all efforts to make it the issue in this campaign must end in dismal failure. As the Superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League of Illinois you are attempting to dictate to the members of your organiza- tion in a matter which is none of your affair. The high type of men that belong to your organization vote intelligently and they need no non-resident of this county to advise them as to their duties in the choice of a State’s Attorney. , it}; him. In your letter you say, “The situation in your county seems to me to be critical.” I agree with you. the situation in Lake County is critical. My candidacy puts the question squarely be- fore the people as to whether they desire to perpetuate in power a man who stands for partiality and discrimination in the conduct of his office or for a man who stands for even-handed justice with no thought as to the political consequences of his policy. ' In a public letter of August 9th. 1916. you ha\ 0 endorsed Ralph J. Dady for State's Attorney of Lake County and indirectly attacked my candidacy. F. Scott McBride. State Supt.. Anti-Saloon League.
