Stratton, candidate for nomination for state treasurer on the Republican ticket. He was born and raised on a farm in Lake county and has successfully met the many problems and hardships that every farmer expe iences. Mr. Stratton has served as county supervisor for fourteen years consecutively. As supervisor he has been a staunch supporter of good roads and better public schools. Possibly some of his interest i|n public schools is due to his having married a school teacher. His two boys are now being educated in the public schools of Lake county. Mr. Stratton's executive ability has been clearly demonstrated by his record as supervisor, as chairman of the Republican county central committee of Lake county and his five years as head of the division of game and fish and director of the department of conservation. The many endorsements by bankers and Chamber of Commerce of his county shows him to be an outstanding business man. In his platform Mr. Stratton says. "If I am nominated by the Republican party and elected by the people of Illinois to the office of state treasurer, I hereby pledge the people that I will administer that office faithfully, honestly, efficiently and strictly according to the constitution and laws of our state. "State funds entrusted to my charge will be deposited in responsible banking institutions of the state and all interest earned on state funds will be publicly accounted for and will accrue strictly to the benefit and profit of the state. 'I shall ask for no appropriation from the legislature except for the legitimate and economical maintenance of the treasurer's office. "I will exert my influence to reduce public expenditures, if possible, and to curtail appropriations and thereby seek to reduce the state tax rate for the benefit of the farmers, the laboring men and women, the manufacturers, and the business people of our commonwealth generally." Mr. Stratton knows from personal experience the heavy burden that the farmer is carrying. His past record in public office as well as his present platform should bring him the vote of every Republican farmer in" the state on April 13. ^ CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS Council Room, April 5, 1926.

Losses as high as 10 to 15 per cent are not uncommon. This is entirely unnecessary since by proper treatfnent of the seed most of the loss may be avoided. This treatment is simpld and inexpensive. Here are the directions for it: 1. 1 pint of formalin to 10 gallons of water to 80 bushels of oats. 2. Throughly fan and clean the oats. 3. Mix one pint of formalin in 10 gallons of water for each 80 bushels of seed to be treated. 4. Keep water containing the formalin covered so as to prevent the formalin gas from escaping. 5. Sprinkle the solution over the oats at the rate of one pint to one bushel of oats, and mix thoroughly. 6. Pile oats up and cover with blanket. 7. After two hours uncover oats and scatter it out. so the;.formalin gas may escape. Wedding invitations and announcements beautifully and correctly printed at the Plaindealer office. Cards and card cases to fit at the Plaindealer office. Ask to see them. Handy Lamp } \ • * \ *• One of these Floor Lamps will come in handy in any home.

Atkinson Orfordville, Wis. s Letter Released Fremont and Clarence Hoy From the State Penitentiary at Joliet Read Colvin's Letter From the Division of Pardons and Paroles V • • November 5th, 1925 SUBJECT: Fremont Hoy, No. 9020--Joliet. Clarence F. Hoy, No. 9021--Joliet. Response to your letter of October 29th, addressed to Mr. Searle. Mr. W. J. Smith, ' Commerce Commissioner, ^ Waukegan, Illinois. * Dear Mr. Smith: Your letter to Mr. Searle came to my personal attention today. Fremont and Clarence Hoy were received at the Joliet Prison, March' 15, 1924 from McHenry County upon indeterminate sentences running from 1 to 10 years. ^ They had a hearing before the Divisions of Pardons and Paroles on January 19,1925, and their cases were passed indefinitely. Under these sentences the Hoys have been eligible to parole since February 14,1925. Prior to the time their cases were considered the first time by the - Division of Pardons and Paroles the usual form notices were sent out from the institution. The law does not' require printed or posted notices "informing the people of the community where the prisoner is sent from that application for parole is to be considered." The letter of the trial Judge, Judge Shurtleff, saying he was convinced he sentenced two innocent men to tlhe penitentiary on the charge of confidence game was sufficient, in the opiion of the Members of the Divisioq of Pardons and Paroles, to cause the parole order to be made. WO: NLK (Signed) Very truly yours, WILL COLVIN, Supervisor." ! hold the original letter of which the above is a true copy. Iti shows conclusively the means used by Shurtleff, which resulted in the release of, (as he says) "two innocent men," from the penitentiary ait Joliet. Please observe that the letter fails to mention the other two convictions against Fremont Hoy. ^ Allen it the Shurtleff Candidate Allen is he Shurtleff-Walsh candidate, and would never have entered the race if he had not been assured in advance of their united, support which everyone knows he is receiving. o Very respectfully yours, CHARLES P. BARNES. |
