Local voters will also be interested in the candidacy of C. Wayland Brooks for congressman-at-large. He is well known in McHenry county and has a host of friends around here. The same may be said about Michthe result as above stated. Among the stockholders who lost the appeal and the amount of their stock are: James Frisby, $500; Nancy Frisby, $700; J. B. Keiter, $500; R.

Mayors • of various cities in the county, members of city councils and village boards and numerous tavern owners were there to take part in* the discussion._ John Harrison, chairman of the county board, presided.

Various Opinions Henry Cowlin, city attorney of McHenry, said McHenry was for a license fee of from $300 to $500 and not to close on Sunday. Dr. J. G. Maxon, mayor of Harvard, said he was for a license fee of $300 and weekr-day hours of 7 to 11 o'clock and to close on Sunday. Mayor William R. Burns of Wood ©tock said he was open-minded on the proposition, but that he thought a license fee of $300 was not too high. R. E. Johnson, proprietor of Bald Knob hotel on Pistakee Lake, said, in his opinion, the lake region was for a reasonable license fee and for no restrictions on the closing hour. James Madison, tavern keeper- on Route 19, near Woodstock, was in favor of a reasonable license, but he thought taverns outside of corporate limits should not have to pay as high as in the cities. He also favored no Sunday closing, stating that Saturdays and Sundays were the two best days for taverns outside of the cities. N. B. Spooner, president of the village board of Hebron, asked whether smaller cities and villages should have to pay the same license fee as cities and villages of larger population. He said the sentiment in Hebron was for Sunday closing.
