McHenry county voters should rally around a McHenry county man for con­ gress. For the second time in its his­ tory McHenry county has the oppor­ tunity of being represented in congress, an honor which it has never enjoyed. This same opportunity was offered for the first time two years ago, and was lost because a few voters believed that Geo. W. Conn. Jr.. stood no chance of winning against his opponent, and so voted for the other party, altho per­ sonally favoring Conn. In spite of this, Conn's majority in McHenry county was 2.000 over Cop­ ley. and for the entire district he was less than 500 votes of being the win­ ner. If 250 of those McHenry county voters who voted for Copley because they thought Conn could not be elect­ ed had voted for Conn he would have been the winner and McHenry county would now have a representative at Washington. Do not let this op|x>rtunity be lost the second time. Conn can be elected. He has lost none of his support thru- out the district and has gained a large number of friends on account, of the remarkable race that he made two years ago. On the other hand his opponent, tvho received the supjtort of the entire Democratic organization of this dis­ trict in the hist primary, and who re­ ceived a large Democratic vote, can not count on this assistance in the present campaign, for the Democrats are using all of their voters in their own campaign for the governorship of the state, and will keep them out of the Republican congressional cam­ paign. It is a well known fact that two years ago Conn received a large majority of the Republican votes cast at that pri­ mary, and if the Democrats, who had no right to vote in that contest, could have l>een kept out he would have re­ ceived a substantial majority. This year the Democrats have business of their own to attend to. Two years ago Senator Olson made a strong campaign in this county in the interests of Copley and was at the head >f his organization. In the present ampaign the senator is a candidate or renomination and dare not come >ut in opposition to Conn. Consequently here will be no effective opi>osition in his county. You will be told the same" stories .hat you were before. Do not be fooled the second time. Everything points to the certainty of the election of Geo. W. Conn.. Jr.. to congress. Do not fail to do your part. Vote for Conn and McHenry county. Work for Conn and McHenry coun­ ty- Boost for Conn and McHenry county. He can and will be elected. The primary is April 9. Be there and cast your vote for Geo. W. Conn, Jr. FROM SNAPP'S HOME SHURTLEFPS ANNOUNCEMENT. TO THE REPUBLICAN VOTERS OF THE EIGHTH SENATORIAL DIS­ TRICT: I hereby announce myself as a Can­ didate for Representative in the Lower House of the General Assembly, sub­ ject to the Republican Primaries to be held April 9, 1912. For twelve years I have supported and elped pass thru the House an Ap<- propriation for $2500 for the benefit the Dairymen's association in comp Ing, publishing and distributing its reports and other necessary expenses. This is a regular appropriation always passed. A few years ago I instituted an Ap­ propriation of S1000 for the Illinois State Milk Producers' institute, which has been appropriated at every session since and had my support in the House. This is now a regular appropriation. I am opposed to the State Highway Commission at Springfield, appointed by the Governor or otherwis^f having the right to lay out and route the first- class roads in any county, upon which work shall be done first, which, in effect, merely provides and is proposed for an Automobile Highway and not for the common public which uses the roads. I am opposed to the State Highway Commission, or any Board at Spring­ field, having the Control, Direction or Management or doing anything further than systematic advice and along edu­ cational lines. It is destructive of Local Self Government. I favor the Automobile License Money being distributed over the State equally to Townships, according to their physical measurements outside of cities, and not according to their as­ sessed valuation. An automobile in jures the roads in a poor Township the same as in a good one. I am opposed to Tax Assessments be­ ing tried by Appeal by a Board at Springfield, appointed by the Governor or otherwise. I am opposed to a Law authorizing Reassessment of Property in any Tax­ ing District by any Clerk sent from Springfield. It is destructive of Local Self Government. | I am opposed to the Control and Management of the Public Schools be­ ing taken out of the hands of the Coun­ ty Superintendent and the Local Authorities and placed in the hands of a "Council of Education" at Spring- fteML I favor the Best Legislation for the Actual Dairymen of the Eighth Sen­ atorial District, and I protest against the Milk Producers' Association being need fW Political Purposes. Very respectfully, EDWARD D- SHUKTLEFF. « femd at M. M. Niesen's. 40tf m \h EXCLUSIVE REASONS FOR COPLEY'S RE­ NOMINATION. Congressman Copley is in no way in­ terested in or connected with the Joliet Herald. In its issue of March 22 that paper aptly says: "The further the primary discussion goes, the less patience is being dis­ played by the Republicans of the dis­ trict in the tight being put up by the old machine against the renomination of Col. I. C. Copley to congress. For everyone recognizes that Mr.^onn's candidacy is of this character. The effort is not to nominate Mr. Conn so much as it is to defeat Col. Copley. "And every intelligent Republican voter who has watched Col. Copley's career in congress knows in his inner conscience that there is no reason why Col. Copley should be superseded and every reason why he should be retained as the representative of the eleventh district in congress. "It would be difficult to find in all the records of congressmen one who, entering on his first term, has so rap­ idly risen to a position of influence and Consideration among his associates. "In the first term 'try out,' to which every new member of# congress is sub­ jected, Col. Copley has gained a posi­ tion which many a veteran might well envy. "A strong personality, his al>solute integrity, his common sense and busi­ ness judgment are subjects of comment in the capitol, a« those who have visit­ ed Washington can testify. "These qualities have brought him consideration far beyond that of the average first term congressman. "And his untiring vim and energy in behalf of his constituents have already made his influence count. It will count to a far greater degree in his next term which the people undoubtedly will give him. "What employer, finding a new man in his shop or factory, office or on his farm 'making good' beyond what could be expected of him, would 'fire' that man jus as his experience was making ood qualities most useful in order hi- to^,gage another untried man? It is ridiculous to think of. And the tax payers of the district take this view of it. They know there is no available man who could be expected to do half as well as Col. Copley has done in the P*st or half as well as he will do in the future. T here i s n o business argument to the voters for a change; the only polit­ ical one is summed up in the word 'revenge'."

COf%E*% MANAGERS IN WILD CONFUSION --VOTERS ARE DESERTING Hilt. The rallying of the rank and file of the voters 01 the eleventh congression­ al district to George W. Conn, the people's candidate, has thrown the Copley managers into wild confusion, with the result that the colonel will not be able to marshal the forces in his behalf that he did two years ago. At that time many people were at heart for Conn and desired to see him elected, but were of the opinion that he had no show against the lavish use of money. The result of the last con­ test, when out of a total of more than 30,000 votes, Conn came within 497 of winning, proved different, and now everyone recognizes that Conn can win--it requires but a change of 250 votes. Reports from all over the district are coming in daily and are indeed gratifying to the Conn supporters. The Conn candidacy has been an en­ thusiastic one from the beginning, in marked contrast to the conditions which surround Col. Copley and his managers, where everything is apa­ thetic and without interest in the im­ pending outcome. This condition is a natural one, re­ sulting from the fact that the Conn Supporters are such because of their faith in the ability, integrity and worth of their leader and the principles that he represents, while with Col. Copley the conditions are entirely different. His workers, speakers and campaigners are attracted to him because of his great wealth. With him it is a matter of buying their services--a price for everything. He gets just what he pays for. Speakers are paid so much per speech, workers so much per day, managers are hired by the month, their price and emoluments being de­ termined entirely by their supposed ability to deliver. His is clearly a campaign that places the dollar above the man. To illustrate further the conditions that surround the two candidates, our readers should note the fact that while all of Mr. Conn's former speakers and workers are again in this year's con­ test, all on a volunteer list, with num­ erous additions, Col. Copley has been deserted by many of his former cam­ paigners. For instance, take one city as an example. Judge Irwin of Elgin, who spoke in all parts of the district two years ago, is attending to his law practice this year. Dr. Dolby, who managed the Copley campaign in Elgin two years ago, is doing nothing to aid the colonel. This situation is similar in other cities down the district. On the other hand, more than a dozen new speakers have volunteered, without pay, to aid the people's cause and their candidate--George W. Conn--against the combination of powerful financial interests. Among these is Judge Jesse Baldwin of Chicago, well known in Crystal Lake and vicinty. These vol­ unteers feel that it is folly to select as a true representativ of this district, to make laws in the interests of the people, a man at the head of the largest cor­ poration in the district, who by the very nature of things must Misrepre­ sent the people rather than represent them. They feel that the election of so many wealthy men to congress is fast converting that body into a House of Lords. The millionaire is too far removed from the man who toils for his daily bread to know his needs. How can we exj>ect the people to rule in this country unless this privileged aristocracy is dethroned and human rights are treated with greater con­ sideration than the dollar? As ex- President Roosevelt said: "It is en­ throned privileges and not the rule of the people that menaces our govern­ ment." STRONG FOR COPLEY. The Joliet Evening Herald of March 20, in speaking of Mr. Conn's candi­ dacy, said: Politics are replete with humor as well as tragedy and the spectacle of George W. Conn of Manhattan, Kan­ sas, taking leave of absence from his job at the Kansas State Agricultural college long enough to run over to the eleventh district of Illinois to see whether or not he can get a nomina­ tion for congress, would be funny ex­ cept for the fact that Mr. Conn really thinks people will take his candidacy with seriousness. Mr. Conn may claim that he still has a legal residence in Illinois, but the fact remains that Mr. Conn moved to Kansas nearly a year ago with full in­ tention and purpose of settling there. And J. H. Miller, director of college extension of the Kansas Agricultural school, and who is Mr. Conn's chief as well, stated a few days ago that he could renew his connection with the college in case he should be unsuccess­ ful in his political ambitions in Illinois: It should be remembered that Con­ gressman Copley is in no way interest­ ed in or connected with the above named paper. DOWN IN WILL COUNTY. The Elgin Courier in speaking of the congressional fight in Will county says: "The Will county supporters of Congressman Copley are very confident that he will be renominated by a much larger majority than he received two years ago, says the Joliet Herald. "It is claimed that hundreds of for­ mer opponents have enlisted under his standard in this campaign, declaring that be is entitled to a renomination. Over one thousand letters, it is averred, are on file from Will uounty voters alone who opposed his nomination twp years ago, but who declare that they will vote for him this year." Is a and We Can Cure It It was at Dwlght, Illinois, that Dr. Leslie E. Keeley ttjade his famous declaration: " Drunkenness is S disease, and I can cure It." It startled the world# and aroused the incredulity of millions. BUT IT WAS TRUE! And it brought new hope and new life to thousands of despairing souls and suffering homes. 400,000 Men Saved From Drink Disease Since that memorable day--thirty-two years ago--400,000 men have *. , vef jjqUor through the Ke more are dailv breaki fresh, clean start. won the victory over liquor through the Keeley treatment.

Dr. Keeley proved, conclusively, that drunkenness is a disease caused by constant nse of alcohol whereln^'the nerve cells have become so accustomed to performing their duties and functions nnder the influence of alcohol that they are dependent on It and will no longer perform those duties and functions properly and painlessly except when under its influence." It is practically impossible for an inebriate, unaided, to stop drink­ ing of his own accord. The Famous "Keeley Cure'* The Keeley treatment--known the world around as "The Keeley Cure"--is simply the application of reconstructive nerve tonics which restore the nerve cells to their normal, natural condition.

I hereby announce myself a candi­ date for Representative in the General Assembly, subject to the action of the Republican primary election to be held April 9, 1912. Previous to four years ago, the Re­ publicans of Boone county for more than thirty years had been represent­ ed in the State Legislature at Spring­ field. During the last four years, how­ ever, Boone county has had no Repub­ lican representation, either in the Sen­ ate or House of Representatives. At the present time McHenry county has all the Republican members, the sen­ ator as well as both representatives. The Republicans of Boone county feel that they are entitled to a repre­ sentative, and being assured by many voters, both of Lake and McHenry counties, that there was again a dispo­ sition to give Boone county represen­ tation, I consented to become a candi­ date. I am the only candidate from Boone county, but on account of our small population it will be necessary for me to receive substantial support from both Lake and McHenry counties if I am to be nominated. Do you think it is fair that McHenry county, with only two-sevenths of the population of the district, should have the whole thing? Don't you think it is about time that Lake county and Boone county, representing five-sevenths of the population of the district, should again be entitled to something? Having been raised on a farm and still being interested in agriculture and dairying, I am therefore familiar with the needs of the farmer in the way of legislation, and shall favor only such laws for regulating the dairy in­ dustry as are just and fair to the pro­ ducers of milk. I am unalterably opposed to the cor­ rupt use of money to control primaries and elections. This is an evil which strikes at the very foundation of our government and institutions, and is a custom altogether to prevalent. The people cannot expect honest public officials if they are elected by the cor­ rupt use of money. Certainly a per­ son cannot afford to give his time to an office and besides spend four or five times the amount of his salary in cam­ paign expenses. I believe we should have a corrupt practice act, making it incumbent on every candidate to report in detail under oath the amount of his campaign expenses and the source from which it came, and if I am el^Sfcted I shall favor the passage of such a measure. I believe in the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people and if elected I hereby pledger myself to vote for the candidate" for United States senator who shall re­ ceive the highest vote at the primar­ ies. I served two terms in the Legisla­ ture, from 1904 to 1908, and am known to most of the voters of the district, by reputation if not personally. If you think my record is such that I am entitled to another term I shall appre­ ciate your support and if elected I shall endeavor, as I always have in the past, to represent you honestly, con­ scientiously and faithfully. Boone county has not had a Repub­ lican member of the Legislature for four years. Will you not help to give "Little Boone" a square deal? Respectfully yours, FRANK R. COVEY. SILOS! SILOS!
