JOlSCHRHDHt - McHenry, HI. rook comity thiS y«»ar will have the greatest republican marching club the country has ever seen. It is the pur­ pose of the local party managers to or­ ganize an army of 10,000 political sol­ diers and give them a spectacular equip* ment which will so far outshine t.ht Cook Comity Democracy that Gapt. Farrell will display his silk tile brigade only in the alleys during this cam­ paign. The republican executive committee formally indorsed the plan of organization of the Cook Cook County Republican Legion, which is to have a regiment in each of the seven congressional districts in the county. There also will be a regiment of mounted rough riders dressed in khaki. These organizations will march in all the party demonstrations, escort distinguished speakers to mass meet­ ings, and, in short, be in the front of the parades and celebrations of the campaign. Chairman Jamieson says there will be 10,000 members of the legion in line to meet President Mc­ Kinley when he comes to Chicago dur­ ing the G. A. R. encampment in Au­ gust. Their uniforms will be a white naval cap, blue blouse, blue trousers, and a red tie--all the national colors. When Gov. Roosevelt comes to town he will be escorted from the depot by the Republican Rough, Riders. The rough riders, who will be mounted, will be re­ cruited from the whole county. They will wear khaki. The members of the. legion will carry no arms, of course; only a cane or umbrella. The regi­ ments. will be drilled and m^de the fin­ es* marching organization ever seen. Many of the Illinois national guard boys are interested in the plan and will help in the work. IT BREAKS ALL RECORDS. The Number of Republican ClubsAl* ready Organised In Illinois. One of the very best indications of the unusually active interest taken early in the campaign by the repub­ licans of Illinois, both old and young, is found in the large number of re­ publican clubs which are being formed all over the state. Never in the history of Illinois politics has the work of starting campaign clubs been begun so early or on such an exten­ sive scale. Nearly every city and vil­ lage in almost every county in the state has already organized a club, and the ranks of each are rapidly grow­ ing. Some are McKinley and Roose­ velt clubs, others are Roosevelt Rough Riders, whie a very large number have honored Judge Yates by using his name, but all working enthusias­ tically and harmoniously to attain the same end, the election of the whole republican ticket from top to bottom. Cavalry organizations in the country precincts seem to be decided­ ly popular and many first voters' clubs are also being started. There is much effective work to be done during the campaign by the repub­ lican clubs of the state and too many of them cannot be organized, no mat­ ter what name they may march un­ der, so long as it stands for the prin­ ciples of republicanism. If your city, town or township is without a repub­ lican club, start the ball rolling by perfecting an organization at once to aid the town and county commit­ tees in their work. GERMANS ARE SATISFIED. Com*ressn»nn Reeve* Report* No Dis­ affection In HI* Dis­ trict. Congressman Walter Reeves report* the political situation in his district as highly favorable to republican vic­ tory. Mr. Reeves said there was a large number of Germans in his district, and that there was no disaffection among the German-American republicans. "The Germans are educated, think­ ing men," he said. "They know that Germany is for expansion; and if ex­ pansion is good for Germany, it is good for the United States, On the Boer question, they say Germany refused to intervene in the South African war, and if Germany did not intervene, there is no reason why this government should intervene. Instead of being disaffect­ ed, I think the Germans are more than ever disposed to support the adminis­ tration." He predicts a majority of 100,000 or more in Illinois for McKinley, Roose­ velt and Yates. He will take the stump for the national and state tick­ ets as soon as the speaking campaign opens. Have Faith In the Result. The publishers of the Illinoisan-Star, at Beardstown, have hit on a novel scheme of increasing the circulation of their paper, offering to give the same free to any new subscriber who comes in before November if Alschuler is elected governor, providing the sub­ scriber wiU pay $1.50 for the paper in the event of Judge Yates'election. It's a sure thing proposition for the pub­ lishers. MO More Honor for Illinois. Illinois is always at the front. The National Republican league, at its recent convention held at St. Paul, honored this state by electing Senator Isaac Miller Hamilton, of Iroquois county, president by acclamation. The compliment is worthily bestowed on a hard worker for the cause of repub­ licanism. No Faith la Bryan. The democratic sheet at Ottawa evi­ dently has little faith in Bryan's suc­ cess and future reward, for it refuses to publish the democratic calls and other party matter unless paid for the ar­ ticle*. Tp STATE PEESS. y ' , ^ ' '•£»' ( Current Issues Discussed by Illi­ nois^ Papers. Opinion* si JCdttora •»> Affairs State and jNatlon--Items of In­ terest! for Republican Reader*. Ave All Republicans. Springfield Journal: A democratic ^contemporary builds its hopes of par­ ty success in Illinois on the assump­ tion of an "existing republican split in Illinois due to the Tanner-Cullotn feud, intensified by administration in­ terference in behalf of CMllom," but it has yet to learn that, although re­ publicans may have disagreements among themselves as to men and party policy, they are grounded in opposi­ tion to all things democratic. Sen­ ator Cullom may have supporters who are hostile to Gov. Tanner, and it may be that Gov. Tanner's friends, Within party lines, would resent "ad­ ministration interference in behalf of Cullom," but every republican in Illinois, whether especially friendly to Cullom or Tanner, will vote with­ out a waver to keep Illinois where it belongs as the banner republican state of the union. Democrats are hugging a delusion who imagine that there will be any defections from the republican ranks in Illinois this year. Orendorff's Admission. Champaign Gazette: Illinois repub­ licans have held, and do hold, that the present legislative apportionment in this state is most inequitable and un­ just,. the general estimate being that they must carry the state by 40,000 to 60,000 majority in order to make sure that they will elect a majority of the legislature. This has been hooted at, on the other side, but now we have an admission of it, in substance, from Gen. Alfred Orendorff, of Springfield, who recently aspired to the democratic nomination for governor. In a recent letter in respect to his defeat for the nomination, he says: "It is true that my candidac}' for governor was nat­ urally stimulated by the fact that, under the legislative apportionment, it is possible to elect a majority of the members of the general assembly even should our state ticket be defeated by over 15,000 majority." Afraid of the People. Rockford Register-Gazette: The lo­ cal democratic committee is said to be unfriendly to the plan of having its candidate for governor Speak at the Winnebago county fair. The reason advanced for this decision is that he would appear before an un­ friendly audience. That is not very complimentary to the citizens of northern Illinois who come here from this and surrounding counties in large numbers from the Winnebago fair. They never fail to give a respectful attention to the addresses heard, al­ though it is true that this thrifty part of Illinois has little sympathy for the policy of the democratic party. The democratic view that there is little prospect of making converts to the ticket is not exactly flattering to the outlook for the party of the Chicago platform. Democracy's Mistake. Bloomington Bulletin (dem.): The Bulletin looks on the 16 to 1 plank de­ cision as unnecessary and unwise. Dem­ ocrats who left the party in 1896 on the money question were anxious to come back. They did not ask for the gold standard or any compromise of principle. They were for Bryan for president. and for reaffirmation of the Chicago platform. What more could be dsked ? To go still further with a super­ fluous declaration looks like robbing it in on the penitents. No man who sac­ rifices 4?an honest principle to obtain votes is entitled to public respect, but it is neither sage nor just to put people on the rack when they are asking noth­ ing and conceding substantially every­ thing. Goes Back on Bryan. At a meeting held at Aledo, presided over by Hon. James McKinney, a re­ publican club was organized which starts with a membership of over 100. A number of the democrats were pres­ ent, notably Hays Dool, late a mem­ ber and storekeeper in Col. Bryan's regiment. Mr. Dool was a member of the glee club and one of the first to sign the membership roll. Germans Are Not Blind. Freeport Journal: There is a great cry about the German vote. The Germans are a good, thrifty people, and are governed by prosperity of the country the same as other peo­ ple. They will vote for what they think for their best interests of this country. They can see just as plain­ ly as anyone what the times are now and what they were. Will Be Silent About This. Robinson Argus: Democratic ora­ tors will not remind the people uf> in Coles, Douglas, Edgar, Champaign and other sections of the broom corn belt that the product which sold at $40 per ton during the Cleveland admin­ istration sold last year as high as $150 per ton. A Hopeless Fl*ht. Norris City Record (Dem.): With a candidate scarcely known in many parts of the state, do the democrats expect to elect a governor in No­ vember? We don't. Yatea Close to the People. Springfield News: The Yates cam­ paign in Illinois will reach the people of the state. A republican campaign of the popular sort sweeps everything before it. Blnsrlnv the Same Old Sonff. The democrats of Illinois said just as many nice things about Altgeld, in the campaign of 1892, as they are now say­ ing of Alschuls* TH| HONEY POWER. " Farmeittt. Merehaats **d Naaafae* » nrm Applying for Nation*! ', Dank Charter*. ' >'• 4;' Aiij ua'.ruu/.cu jttiuietH wi" mer­ chants or persons , of comparatively small means in any little town or vil­ lage of the United States now can be­ come a part of the money power of •the country. t Under the new, and republican* banking act very nearly a thousand applications, 981 to be exact, have been made for national bank charters, and in 800 cases the capital of the appll\ cants is fixed at $50,000 or less; a great part of them are rated at $25,- 000; 47 states and territories are rep­ resented in the list of applicants, and in almost every instance the incorpo­ rators are farmers, merchants, saw­ mill men or other small manufactur­ ers of the neighborhood in which the bank's are to be established. And every dollar of the circulation of these projected banks is secured by the government of the United States. Forty-two of these applications came from Bryan's own state of Nebraska. The populistic-demoeratic purpose Is to abolish all national banks, to do away with the national bank pape£ issue, which, while guaranteed by the federal government to be worth its face value in gold, is so flexible as to be enlarged or contracted in volume exactly as the local financiers, farm­ ers, store-keepers, lawyers and prudent mechanics who may invest their sav­ ings in local banks may deem to be' need'ful. Instead of this elastic, yet sound, currency, the Bryanite theory of finance would revert to the old wildcat" banks, whose paper money had no basis of value, whose opera­ tions wrought wrong upon tens of thousands of innocent holders of their worthless s*uff. • It will not do. The country towns of the great middle and western states are becoming local centers of capital. The money power, so-called, is becoming as widely diffused as the political power of the country. It has been proven time and again that Chi­ cago cannot corner the wheat market; it may not be long before it is demon­ strated that Wall street never can again corner the money market. And this simply because the money centers, like the wheat centers, will be tOo numerous ant. too well guarded by long-headed local operators for con­ trol by any clique. The wide diffusion of wealth under republican administration is demon­ strated beyond shadow of doubt by the increasing multiplicity of small local national banks. In every way, social, political and financial, repub- icanism tends to diffusion of power among the people, and to its use for the people and by the people. HE BELIEVES in EXPANSION. Hon. J. N. Perrln Not In Sympathy with t4e Popocratle Plank. t-' ' * * • * - Hon. J. N. Perrin, one, of the best known democrats in Illinois, voiced the sentiments of thousands in his party when, at the recent democratic state convention he said in a speech: "I am bitterly opposed to this con­ vention adopting an anti-expansion plank in its platform. I want to see this convention stand by our govern­ ment and our Holdiers of the Cuban war and those now in the Philippines. am of the opinion that the demo­ cratic party is due to stand by them. I am of the opinion that the Filipinos are wrong in their fight, and I do not think the people of the United States look upon the Filipinos as being in the right. The Filipinos had no busi­ ness congregating an army 60,000 strong outside the city of Manila and starting a war with our soldiers after we had taken the city from the Span­ iards, that same city never having been occupied by the Filipinos. I do not believe in saying to our soldiers over there that they are fighting for a wrong cause.'* IMPERIALISM DEFINED. Rev. Reynolds, of Collet, Says Ancr* lean People Need Have lfo Fears. •The Only Possible' and Desirable Imperialism" was the subject of a ser­ mon preached by Rev. Clarence G. Reynolds, of the First Presbyterian church, at Joliet, recently. Rev. Reynolds has no fear of the so- called imperialism which Bryan po-. litical advocates are attempting to build into a huge scarecrow. This nation is too big, too broad in its ideas and institutions, and imbued with too much of the Christ spirit to ever be in danger of an imperialistic government on this hemisphere on the basis of the old world empires. Such is the senti­ ment of the Joliet pastor. "This is but one possible and desir­ able imperialistic kingdom," he said, "and that is the kingdom of Christ. A universal empire," he added, "is an utter impossibility, speaking in a po­ litical sense. No sane man or govern­ ment need fear such a state of af­ fairs. Under the prevailing order of things with all the world powers it is impossible to form one central empire that shall hold sway over the others." Raise Employes* Wages. An unsolicited increase of from 10 to 15 per cent, in the wages of employes of the Union Traction company of Chi­ cago has been authorized by President John M. Roach. The new schedule will take effect August 1 and means an in­ crease in the pay roll of the company of $100,000 a year. Willing to Compare Records. Some democratic editors are calling Roosevelt a tin soldier. Do these gen­ tlemen care to compare the war record of Adlai Stevenson with that of Theo­ dore Roosevelt?
