I believe that the public is entitled to know that it gets a fair standard of service, and at a fair price, and that the corporation makes a fair business profit. I feel that the PUBLIC IS ALSO ENTITLED TO ASSURANCE THAT ITS LIFE, HEALTH AND PROP ERTY ARE SAFEGUARDED IN THE UTMOST DEGREE. I believe that the public and employees of the company are entited to know that ev ery possible safeguard is thrown about the life and health of the employees. I believe in a fair working out of Employer's Liability. I believe in putting the burden of TAXATION ON THE SHOULDERS OF THE PEOPLE WHO CAN BEST AFFORD TO BEAR IT, and who get the most benefit from the stability which this government offers to income and capital. I believe in an Income Tax exempting moderate incomes, and one in which the ratio of taxation--when the income is enjoyed by a private indi­ vidual--increases as the income itself increases in size. I believe in an Inherit­ ance Tax exempting moderate inheritances, but one in which the ratio of tax­ ation increases as the size of the inheritance itself increases. I believe in the conservation of all the national and state resources for the benefit of all the people. I BELIEVE IN PROTECTION, BUT I BELIEVE IN PROTECTION THAT REDUCES, AS FAR AS POSSIBLE, THE COST OF THE CHEAPER ARTICLES that are necessarily consumed by the poorer people and, if addi­ tional revenue must be raised from this source, that the tax on the LTJXUR IES THAT ARE ENJOYED BY THE RICHER PEOPLE BE MADE TO STAND SUCH INCREASES, as far as possible. I believe in the principle advocated by President Taft when he caused the present Tariff Commission to be established. After this body has had an opportunity to gather its facts, this country, for the first time, will be able to approach tariff legislation from a fair and scientific standpoint and, for the first time, the schedules will be framed in the interest of the ultimate consumer, as well as in the intei e • of the producers. Heretofore no one has ever been heard on a tariff schedule excepting the producer. 9 I believe in the integrity and ability of President Taft. I am NOT for Joseph G. Cannon for Speaker. To sum up my platform in one sentence, I AM A "PROGRESSIVE " REPUBLICAN AND BELIEVE IN THE POLICIES OF THEODORE ROOSEVELT, NAMELY, "A SQUARE DEAL FOR EVERYBODY." IRA C.

All children under twelve years of a«e will be admitted free each da> of the fair, September (>, 7, 8 and D. Secretary Hunt informs us that the entries are already coining in for ex­ hibits at the McHenry county lair. Al­ so numerous inquiries and requests for stalls and pens from breeders of live stock. Will B. Otwell, publisher, offers twenty annual subscriptions to Otweil 's Farmer Boy for exhibits in live stock, farm products and poultry by boys un­ der sixteen years old at the McHenrv county fair. The Sprague Publishing company of­ fers six annual subscriptions to The American Boy for the best exhibits of vegetables, fruit and flowers by bovs under sixteen, and exhibits in the youth s department by boys under fifteen at the McHenry county fair. The publishers of the American l ' -ul try Advocate and the Western POM 11 r \ Journal each offer six annual Hubscrip tions for displays in the poultry depart­ ment, and The American Poultry Jour­ nal offers four valuable books for dis­ p l a y s o f p o u l t r y a t t h e M c H e n r y c o n n ty fair. The Duffin & Redcav tronj>e of cast­ ing acrobats have ,l>een secured as the leading free attraction at the McHenry county fair September 7, Hand*.), l ' .H'1 . There are five people in this high sal aried troupe, and they are said to be the mofet polished and daring performer* of their kind in the world. Tiie scarcity of fruit caused by the freeze of April 28 presages a lighter ex­ hibit than usual in the horticultural de­ partment at the McHenry connty fair. However, there are a few apples, grapes and small fruits and it is hoped that everyone who has the interests of the fair at bo&il will do what he can to encourage the best possible display of fruit. The almost nnparalled dry season has shortened the crop of vegetables and farm products very materially and many prospective exhibitors at the Me Henry county fair report that they will have nothing suitable for exhibition, (irowers should not be discouraged, however, and every one is urged to bring out the best they have in the way of threshed grains and other farm and garden products, and help to make the display larger and better than ever be fore. (teo. A. Hunt, secretary of the Mc Henry count.x (air, has succeeded in se curing the luifliniV Redcay troupe as the leading free attraction at the Mc lleury county fair to be held the second we*k in September. Mr Hunt has bten trying every year for three years to se­ cure tliisi tronpe of novel entertainers and has finally succeeded in closing a contract, with them to appear at the fan in Woodstock September 7, H and !i This troupe has a great reputation and commands a high salary. Their ac ts are different from anything ever before shown iu northern Illinois and an c-msidered the best of their class in t lie world There are numerous candidates for public 1 >11 ice, all of whom have their in­ dividual qualifications ami who are ask­ ing \oiir support at the polls Sept l. r». There is another candidate for public favor and worthy of your support on the t i th, 7th. Mth and !»th of September This candidate is the McHeury county fair, whose platform is broad enough to represent every citizen regardless of party affiliations, and guarantees a "square deal" to every patron Every one who is interested in the success of this fair should begin now to pre|>are something for exhibition, and those who are nuable to exhibit should at tend anyway and enjoy a good time as well as assi&{. in the success of this growing exposition. The state game warden has shipped 2,000 quail to McHenry county for dis tribution among the farmers, with the idea of causing them to become more plentiful as game.
