It adds insult to injury to claim Governor Small paved our r0ads, all things considered. The other side of the case was told to the public last Saturday at the republican rally at the high school by the principal figure in the matter, Stratton himself. Of course the Small faction never puts much emphasis, if at all, on the fact that Stratton was a vic-- tim of Small's peculiar brand of generosity. Having promised' Stratton his support for the job of secretary of state, Governor| Small immediately turned around and put up Judge Gentzel of| Chicago as his candidate, leaving the Lake county man out in' the cold. That move, we presume, was Small's unique way of showing his gratitude for the work that Stratton had done in ge* ' ting him re--elected to a second term. Engineers, contractors and material dealers who had to do with building the highways you paid for are forced to contribute lib-- erally to Governor Small's campaign fund. Highway police and permanent road employees are arbitrarily assessed a half month's salary as their "contribution" to the governor's fund. ' f SPEAKING OF GRATITUDE Backers of Gov. Len Small and his clique have made much of the fact that William ]J. Stratton of Lake county is running for secretary of state on the ticket opposing Small. They have painted tearful pictures of the tender solicitude with which the governor watched over Stratton, protected him from the bad men of this wicked world, and finally with a devotion second only to the pa-- thetic mother love of the movies elevated him to the head of the department of fish and game conservation. Finally, after dwelling at length on the governor's idealistic motives, these Small follow-- ers point the finger of scorn at Stratton and say, "There is ingrati-- tude for you." It is rank effrontery to state Small paved Lake county's roads. Illinois taxpayers, burdened with bond issues aggregating $160,-- 000,000 contributed most to pave Illinois and Lake county high-- ways. Automobile owners contributed in license fees another $100,000,000. Engineers and an army of laborers built the roads with the money furnished. All Governor Small has done is exploit the huge enterprise for his personal political benefit. Lake county taxpayers have the roads at a cost of $40,000 a mile and naturally avail themselves of opportunities to drive over them, even though their objective is a political meeting where is ex-- plained the perfidy and extravagance of the executive responsible for that excessive cost. s e c c lce o¢ on ? _: Why does Governor Small make the business of the state gov-- ermment a family affair and why is it necessary to preserve so much secrecy in the matter? Len Small is governor. Leslie Smail, his son, is director of purchases and construction. Every contract and every purchase made by and for the state of Illinois must be authorized by the governor's son, Leslie. Every state road contract and the location of all state reads is in the hands of the governor's partner in his banking business--the former cash-- Although Stratton is minus the support of Governor Small in the present campaign, he has backing of far more strength. As a member of the Emmerson--Carlstrom--Glenn combination, he is as-- sured of the vote of every citizen who wants clean and economical government at Springfield. We are sure that he will get the re-- publican nomination this spring and that he will defeat his dem-- ocratic opponent in the fall. When that time comes, Stratton may not regret the political switch that threw him against Governor Small. No matter who is nominated governor at the April 10 state-- wide primary, the result will in nowise change the good roads pro-- gi'am. Good roads will continue not only in Illinois but in the other states of the union. They are a national necessity and will continue without reference to the renomination of Governor Small. ier of his bank in Kankakee--Cornelius R. Miller, director of pub-- lic works and buildings. All the vouchers for the expenditure of state funds must be submitted to, authorized and approved by A. E. Inglesh, administrative auditor of the department of finance, Governor Small's son--in--law, who lives with the governor in the executive mansion at Springfield. , § Entered as seéond-clm matter October 13, 1916, at the Libeflyvme.minois,nnderActdlueht,lm. Issued Why does the gover;xor insist that all moneys, all contracts, all business of the state should be secretly handled by his own fam-- ily? The state's business should not be a family affair. PAGE FOUR ADDING INSULT TO INJURY The Waukegan Sun complains that the great number of Lake county people in attendance at the Republican rally Saturday night drove to Waukegan over roads "paved by Governor Small." Supporters of the present governor are saying his defeat will mean a cessation in the hard road program of the state. Such is not true. Louis L. Emmerson, secretary of state, in the event of his nomination for governor, will continue state highway building with all possible speed and upon an equitable and fair basis free from politics and apart from many angles which have angered many people. + _ «Building of state highways in a scientific and non--political spirit, employment of sound business principles in every depart-- ment of the government of Illinois will be carried on by Mr. Em-- merson. His pledge to this effect is a guarantee that he will carry out any pledge he may give the people. His record as secretary of state for 11 years and his administration of that big office speak for themselves. No further assurance is necessary on the part of those who know Mr. Emmerson. Intelligence and integrity have been a part of the public service of Mr. Emmerson as secretary of state. He will carry the same things into the governor's offhice if vested with that great office. It is folly to say that state highway building depends upon the continuance in office of any man in the public service whether that man be Gov. Len Small or his close political aid, William Hale Thompson. One of the generous acts on the part of a political aspirant in the present state race is the withdrawal of Charles W. Hadley from the running for the republican nomination to the attorney generalship. His withdrawal, which was suggested by members of the anti--Small group, leaves Attorney General Carlstrom as the sole contestant against Senator Dailey, the Small candidate. It makes possible the unification of the anti--Small forces behind the ticket headed by Secretary of State Emmerson and Otis F. Glenn. fighting the corrupt machine of the present governor. Only through the sinking of personal ambitions for the sake of the party can the present administration be defeated in its at-- tempt to control state politics for another four years We hope that Hadley's act will prove an inspiration for the honest citizens The Lake County Register FRANK H.
