RODNEY J, SWIFT CANDIDATE FOR RENOMINATION (l~4 FOR STATE SENATOR f4 (Waukegan Daily News) State Senator Rodney B. sWtft of Lake county has served two terms and asks for re-nomination. The late A, J. Olson of McHenry county was senator for two terms and was re-nominated. Senator Dunlap of Champaign has served twenty-four years and is again a candidate and is recognized as the most valuable legislator of Illinois. The record of some of the state sea*' ators is worthy of study. Senator Rodney B. Swift is never absent nor tardy, always irt his seat and watching legislation. His protection of the dairy interests is particularly noticeable. He has protested the conspiracy laws and prevented their being framed to hit farmers who would get together that they might obtain a better price for their products and he has urged to the International Harvester company, he went to a farm, which he made into one of the best arid most productive in America. If the eighth district wants the services of Senator Swift for another term it must get its voters to the polls. He has stopped certain practices and money grabs that have made him enemies and if he goes back he will stop more. There are those who don't want him in Springfield. If the honest taxpayers do they now have the chance. V SEEKS D. R. ANDERSON NOMINATION FOR MEM BER OF CONGRES9 The primary, at which camclates for the election next November are to be selected, is scarcely a month away. It is time now for the voter to take stock of the men from whom he will choose the ones to conduct his public affairs. One of the most important offices to be filled in the district this year is that of congressman. Several men legislation to exempt them and plainly are candidates for the place, but in set forth their rights to organize and our opinion the best qualified is D. R. co-operate. A new co-operative law j Anderson. \ now protects them in this fundamental necessity. He passed the bill giving the county commissioners the right to appropriate money to hire veterinarians to clean out tuberculosis in the dairy herds and joined with others to make the state appropriation one million dollars to go with a like sum from the federal government. The Milk Producers' commended his' work by For thirty-four years MiW\.nderson has been active in polities', irat.lie is not a politician. Born in the coalfields of Pennsylvania and coming to Will county as an infant, he has battled his way upward from an obscure beginning, until he is now recognized as (me of the most capable attorneys of the Will bounty bar, and'a association j man of position and standing in the a .special j community. resolution. Only a man who" knew how to do legislative work could have saved these milk producers. In the appropriation cdmmittee and on the floor of the senate Senator Swift is recognized as being a bitter foe to waste and extravagance. His work in preventing useless commissions, in knocking out fad measures and insisting that no wages be paid to Being one of a large family, Mr. Anderson was compelled to earn his way in the world. At an age when most boys are stilly in the graded schools and following the usual pursuits of boyhood, he was going down into the mines earning his bread and butter. Then one day there was an accident. The boy was brought to the surface those who don't work has "been com-1 maimed for life, and a brother who mended a& <0ver the state. jwas caught with him was hopelessly That baiuL of public spirited men, crippled until the day of his death, the Legisiatrv£ Voters' league, who] Realizing that he was unfitted to hire an able secretary to report the!follow manual tasks thereafter, Mr. legislative work in Springfield has this to*'say o^Senator Swift: "Rodney/®. Swift, senator (Rep.), farmer, lake Forest. Ending his second term, during which he made a highly creditable record; was one of the most steadfast members of the senate in opposing the objectionable schemes of Governor Small; during the last session he made a close study of appropriation bills and presented amendments to such bills in committee and on the floor which saved the public a great deal of money." Always for roads,--his farm, teams drew his road drag back and forth before there was any cement and he was the first president of the Lake County Good Roads association. No ftian has tried harder to protect the taxpayers from- the greed of the material contractors and from direct taxation for roads. ^ Let the roads be paid by license fees of those who use them and see that they are built honestly and between towns where there is enough traffic to justify them and not where influential citizens and bodies of citizens will agree to pay for them with votes. More, traffic goes over certain roads in the eighth district in one day than over some roads in remote districts in a whole year. The 100 million dollar road bill will be voted on next November. When that bill was put before the senate it gave the eighth district far less mileage than our auto fees called for and Senator Swift in open fight before the committee and on the floor of the senate forced amendments adding neu-ly 75 miles additional roads for thisSdictrict. Only a man who could fight and who knew what he was doing had any business trying to add to the irileage that had been set aside forithe*county. Senator Swift helped pus the hard road bill under which all the hard roads the county has laid are built. He helped write the names of the towns into this bill while Frank Lowden was yet governor, without which "there would have been unforseen changes. New, a few words personal,--he worked as a boy to earn the money to send himself thru a first-class college and to get a degree of B. S. and thru a good law school to a degree and an admission to practice in the supreme court. He has been able to take a decided hand in school legislation and to give school measures constructive thought. He introduced - the bill to help the state normal schools and was chairman of the committee to visit the educational institutions of the state. He is one of the advisory committee appointed by the board of the state university. Senator Swift is the chairman also of that important committee on community welfare and, having been a worker all his life with his hands and brain, he knows what it is to work and what the laboring men need. He in oduced, and it became a law, the easure to rehabilitate the crippled in industry. He introduced and passed the bill for schools lor crippled chil dren. But this could go on and on. He lias a family, wife and three children one, nine and ten years old. His home farm that he still owns just west of the village of Libertyville is qne of the most productive in Illinois He owns more than one thousand acres of land. He is and has been a success and has traveled in all coun tries and knows the world and the problems that are before the state as well as the problems of the farm. For 25 years he was ft manufacture# and finally, after selling the business which he was a one-third owner, " " 1 ' /ftiderson began to study. He finished the grade school course and then, working at odd jobs and teaching, obtained sufficient funds to enable him to complete his high school education. Teaching school seemed his only opportunity then and he kept at it with such success that at the age of nineteen he was principal of the Coal City school. When he was twenty-one he married, but instead of making him afraid to leave the safety of a steady income by teaching, marriage spurred his ambition on, and with the assistance of his wife he was able to complete a law course at the University of Michigan. Mr. Anderson was then living in Grundy county and when he returned there after his graduation he was chosen, out of six other candidates, for county superintendent of schools, the youngest in the state, being only twenty-five years old, and he held that office two terms, when he retired to devote his time to the practice of law. He has practiced law continuously now for twenty-five years and his experience and studies in that time have brought to him ^ invaluable knowledge and fitted him to understand and grasp the broader conceptions of life. > To be a ouccessfuf lawyer one mustrf be a good business man. Mr. Anderson is that. The candidate chosen to represent this district should be a good business man and free from political bondage. Mr. Anderson possesses those qualifications. He is a keen student of public and economic problems and a man who has- -always given his conscientious best to the tasks entrusted to his care. He has a farm in Grundy county and two Will county farms, so he is familiar with the problems and needs of the farmers. He is a speaker of recognized a.bility, as attested to by the fact that eight times he stumped the state for the Republican party and in three presidential' campaigns he was sent out to tour the country for the'Republican national committee. But he is not a professional politician. His interest in politics is ft result of his interest in good government and a desire; to serve his party. He is no back-slapper, nor dispenser of empt promises, those cheap tricks of the professional office seeker. Nor does he tell the "dear pe-pul" that all their troufetes will end by his election. He does promise the voters, however, that if elected he will serve them to the best of his ability. Auction Sale! bankable notes bearing interest at the rate of 7 per cent per annum.
