Mr. Brown is a member of the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks and also a Modern Woodman of America, and alters this race not as a candidate of any person, corporation, faction combine nor group of persons, but solely of his own volition and with the assurance that if nominated and elected he will be a servant of the people for all the people. Mr. Brown's friends claim for him* not alone an enviable record for citizenship, but a high patriotic purpose and endeavor. During the Spanish- American war Mr. Brown left Woodstock with Company G, volunteered to serve his country, but was sent home from Springfield, due to a serious relapse from measles, which caused his confinement over two weeks, up to the time he rose to go to Springfield md again for eight weeks after his return home. In the great war Mr. Brown had signed up as an ambulance driver at the front and was at the time of the signing of the armistice awafting his'call to service. All during the late war Mr. Brown's time md money were ever at the disposal of his country, both in aid of liberty loans arid subscription campaigns, and not only did he- contribute and buy; liberally himself, but spent much of his time in inducing others to do likewise. r-' He stands upon the promise that if elected he will givq. to the office of, circuit clrrk his entire time and attention, an J *o that, end that he may be given this ^ppivLrniLy of service to you, the voters, he humbly asks your vote and support and expresses his deep appreciation for any consideration which may be shown him by you.
