MacGuffin, who is a popular attorney of the Lake county bar, did not an­ nounce his intentions of being a candi­ date until the date of filing his peti­ tion, and immediately following his declaration there was a hurrying of feet toward the "band wagon," espe­ cially so when simultaneously with the announcement the fact became known that the Lake county man was to be supported by every influential news­ paper and Republican leader. The candidate has a reputation for being a tireless worker and no time has been lost by him since his announce­ ment to the voters. He has entered upon a campaign which will take him into all sections of the district and no one grasps "Mac's" hand or listens to his straightforward talk that is not im­ pressed with the fact that in him there is the "stuff" which makes big men in the legislature. MacGuffin is free from any alliance with the different factions striving for control of the gubernatorial honors. He would go to Springfield without any strings tied to him and judging from his past he would be on the side of right as respecting the farmers of this district. He is president of the Lake county agricultural board, has had some practical experience in farm­ ing as well as a successful business and legal career. The following appeared in last week's Lake County Independ­ ent: "Attorney Paul MacGuffin of Liber­ tyville, candidate for state senator from this district, attended both after­ noon and evening sessions of the farm­ ers' institute held at Gurnee last Fri­ day. During the afternoon meeting he addressed the audience at length and proved by his remarlyj that he is exceptionally alert to the requirements of the farmers, not only in regard to the laws which are needed by thepi, but also many of the questions of scientific treatment of the soil, etc. Mr. MacGuffin is president of the Lake county agricultural board and has promised to use his influence in mak­ ing some changes in the conduct of affairs which will make the fair more beneficial to the farmers. He also gave his views regarding the proposed raise of rates in the Modern Woodmen of America and pledged himself if elected to jvork for some equitable solution of the problem now before the organization." The Waukegan Gazette, the oldest and most reliable Republican news­ paper in Lake county, has the follow­ ing to say: "Lake county's candidate for state senator is so well known thruout the county as to need little introduction. A lawyer of note, he has made himself what he is today--a power in Lake county and business and political cir­ cles. The son of a poor minister, he started life under the handicap of re­ duced financial circumstances. By grit and perseverance, coupled with good hard work, he became a lawyer and has steadily risen in his profession. His integrity is unquestioned; his abil ity is conceded; his energy is great-- he is Lake county's choice for senator And he will win." With no blare of trumpets or out­ bursts of excitement the MacGuffin strength grows daily, and the voters of this district are coming to realize that the chances of having a strong unfet­ tered man in the upper branch of the next general assembly are good. In connection .with the opening of the Lake county fight for state's at­ torney, Lake county people will be in­ terested in hearing of the war which has started in the adjoining county-- McHenry--for the same office. As in Lake county, the present at­ torney, David R. Joslyn, is a candidate for re-election. Mr. Joslyn is well and favorably known in this county where he has appeared in several notable trials. It is recalled that he conduct­ ed the prosecution, together with State's Attorney Dady, against Lewis C. Price, ex-assistant county treasurer, charged with embezzlement, and his brilliant work in the court room and apparent mastery of the art of crim­ inal prosecution, together with his brief but remarkably powerful argu­ ment, will not be soon forgotten. He has been in the thick of the fight against Voliva in the Mothersill case and the local attorneys willingly share with him the credit for the big $20,000 verdict in the second trial as well as the $11,000 verdict obtained at Wood­ stock last spring. On all Mr. Joslyn's appearances in court here, a treat in the way of argu­ ment and court room tactics has been looked for by local lawyers. Attorneys here state that he must be "SOME" state's attorney in action Waukegan Daily Sun. Dried Grain at Wilbur's. HOW ABOUT NIGHT WATCH? Since the numerous burglaries have taken place in this village the citizens, that is, the larger majority of them, are up in arms. The feeling seems to be that McHenry, like all other well regulated towns, should have night watchmen, and from what we are able to gain a demand will be made to the village board for such. Unfortunately McHenry has three business sections and for this reason one night watch would be of.no good whatsoever. The feeling is, and has been prevalent here for years, that McHenry has about as much use for two day police officers as an armless man has for a pair of mit­ tens. We will go even farther than this by saying that even one day man is more than is needed. The village board, at a meeting some time ago, made each and every member of that body, including the president, a police officer wiljh the power to make arrests whenever necessary. Now we have seven of these officers in the village and there isn't a time in the day when one of these men cannot be brought into service at a few moments' notice. Why day police? How many day or even night arrests have been made in McHenry during the last decade? We say, and we believe we are expressing public sentiment, do away with the day officers and put on two good night men. A man can be obtained to take care of the village pumping station and do the other odd jobs that are now looked after by the two officers. There is no use of shielding this thing any longer. McHenry sure is one of the back numbers in the police depart­ ment and we believe that the patience of the citizens of McHenry has now reached its end and that a DEMAND will be made by our citizens for proper police protection at the proper time. In nominating and electing new vil­ lage officers the citizens should not hesitate one minute in voting for men who will see that this is done. A lit­ tle backbone is all that is needed. The trouble with the village officers in the past was that they were afraid of hurt­ ing somebody's feeling and for this reason oftentimes forgot the oath they took when placed into one of the alder­ men's chairs. There isn't a week passes that The Plaindealer does not hurt somebody'8 feeling. We see no 30] reason why the village board should not adopt a similar system. We be­ lieve it will pay in the long run. DON'T FEED 'EM. Our people have been pestered more or less during the entire winter by tramps, America's biggest nuisance. Now for the benefit of those who have been in the habit of feeding and giving money to this class of people we will say that they are doing wrong. The American hobo or tramp, whatever name you wish to imply, is a man who cares not for work and would not ac­ cept a permanent job were it handed to him on a silver platter. #Work and the American hobo cannot agree and never will and it is for this reason that we believe feeding them is doing a wrong. By feeding and giving money to this class you are encouraging them and assisting the hobo cause. There are many different ways that the coun­ try could rid itself of this particular class, but we believe the best way to do it is to starve 'em. Try this scheme on the next fellow that comes around to your back door. If all will do this the hobos will soon place McHenry on the list of "bad towns" and keep away from us. Three of these "homeless" men were in town last Saturday and after securing a few handouts in the way of eatables and money they pro­ ceeded to enjoy their feast in the rear of one of our saloons. The can was kept quite busy for some time until one of them undertook to investigate the rear of the McHenry bank build­ ing, in which The Plaindealer print shop is located. The writer "was on the job" in a minute and lost no time in forcing the undesirables to vacate their temporary quarters. Typewriters Given Away The Emerson Typewriter company of Woodstock, 111., have recently given away over 400 of the highest grade, wholly visible Emerson Type­ writers made in the world. They have gone into every state and terri­ tory in the United States. There may be some in your town. They are giv­ ing them away everywhere to men. women, boys and girls, over 18 years of age, on sui^risingly liberal condi­ tions. If you could make any use of a 8100.00 typewriter, providing it did not cost you even one cent, then in a letter or on a postal card addressed to Frank L.' Wilder, President, Woodstock, 111., simply say, "Mail me all your Free Offers," and by return mail you will deceive their Free Of­ fers, the names of over 400 who have recently received typewriters free, and you will learn on what easy condi­ tions you can get one of their type­ writers free right away. The Emerson Typewriter is one of the highest grade, wholly visible typewriters made in the world. Many who have used the "EMERSON" and other makes pronounce the "EMEU- SON" superior to any $100.00 type­ writer on the market. It is a whoiiy visible machine, has every new, up- to-date feature, looks like other high grade $100.00 typewriters, though it sells regularly for less and on terms of $1.00 down and 10 cents a day un­ til paid for. The "EMERSON" has every new improvement, universal keyboard, back spacer, tabulator, two- color ribbon, everything the best: is the ideal mach'ne for beginners as well as for the most expert typists and stenographers; just the type­ writer for the smallest or largest office. If you could possibly make any use of a high grade typewriter, even though it didn't cost you one cent of money, then be sure, on a postal card or in a letter addressed to Frank L. Wilder, President, Woodstock, 111., say, "Mail me your Free Offers."
