Thursday, October it, 191a. DEMON SPOKE HERE SATURDAY ABOUT TWO HUNDRED GATHER AT DEPOT AND LISTEN TO ADDRESS. Gov. Charles S. Deneen, candidate for re-election, together with other aspirants for state offices as well as a number of McHenry county politicians, arrived in McHenry via special train on schedule time last Saturday fore­ noon. The special train arrived at the ad­ vertised time, 10:10, and during the time that the train stopj>ed here only two speakers appeared, Gov. Deneen and Secretary of State C. J. Doyle. The governor was the first to speak and took up about fifteen minutes. The governor devoted his address to defending the sta|£ finances under his administration from the charges of Judge Dunne, his Democratic oppo­ nent. His address received but very faint applause from the 200 men, women and children who had gathered. "I am going to speak about state finances, because Judge Dunne has made this an issue," said the governor, "but I might say in advance that the judge needs a post graduate course in finance and might attend night school to advantage. "My opponent makes much of the fact that expenses of the state under me have grown to $13,500,000, while they were only $5,000,000 under Gov­ ernor Altgeld twenty years ago. I say to him, 'Judge, you're another.' I will measure him by the same standard by which he measures me. "Judge Dunne was mayor of Chicago seven and five years ago. The first year the city spent $36,000,000. Twenty years before the city spent $9,000,000. The second year Dunne spent $40,000,- 000. At the end of his second year appropriations for the next'year were $49,000,000. Twenty years before that they were $10,000,000. All told, in those three years the city spent $100,- 000,000 more than it did in the corres­ ponding three years twenty years be­ fore. "I say that Illinois state expenditures are small, cheap, low. State expendi­ tures average $2.62 per person per year. Seveny per cent of , the states spend more, thirty per cent, less. Among the latter are the most back­ ward of the southern states. "In New Jersey, where a Democratic governor is running for president, the average is $3.24. In Indiana, where a Democratic governor is running for •ice president, it is $3.12. In Califor­ nia, where a Progressive 'governor is running for vice president, . it is $6.86. "State expenses, in a general way, have increased largely because of de­ mands of state charitable institutions and of public education. More goes to public charity now every year than went to all purposes twenty years ago. Our wards have increased from 8,000 to 17,500. Thirty-four cents of every $100 goes to charitable institutions. The state has removed all insane peo­ ple from county jails and institutions and placed them under state care. Every year we add 400 to our insane wards. This increase will increase expenses $250,000 in the next four years." Secretary of State Cornelius J. Doyle spoke but a few minutes, his subject being the rule of the people. Quite a number of those who turned out expected to have the state officers introduced, but were disappointed in this as the only person introduced to the audience aside from the governor was the secretary of state. The political situation here in Mc­ Henry is very much split up. While the majority of Republicans in this section are expressing their intentions of voting the straight Republican ticket there are some who are going to vote the Bull Moose ticket, while the Democrats are solid for the Wilson slate. It is also a fact that a few who have always voted the Republican ticket will cast their ballot for Woodrow Wilson at the coming election. Here in town interest is waxing warm and not a few arguments are heard. As previously stated, "Teddy" still has a few admirers left in this village and with the Taft and Wilson supporters much in evidence the Bull Moosers of McHenry are finding plenty of chance for arguments. 238 PROBA TE NEWS _ Abstract Office iu Ar- 'V Wi , * ml- IFttnilihed by McHenry (Jounty Company, Woodstock.

Loose hay takes barn space. You cannot sell it easily and you cannot ship it at all. It is the hay that is baled which is in demand in the high-priced city markets. This is the hay upon which you make your profits. There is money in owning an I H C Hay Press The horse power presses have greater capac­ ity than any other horse press of equal size. They are lighter draft and easier on the horses. The step-over is the lowest and narrowest made. They have an adjustable bale tension, which insures compact bales. They are equipped with a roller tucker to turn in all staggling ends, thus making each bale neat in appearance. I H C motor presses consist of a bale cham­ ber and an I H C engine mounted on sub­ stantial trucks. The bale chamber of the motor press corresponds in size to the bale chamber of the horse press--14x18 inches, 16 x 18 inches, and 17 x 22 inches. No time is lost in setting up the machine. It can be moved easily from place to place, backed to the stack or barn, and started to work at once. The engine does not need a man to watch it and there is no danger from sparks. You can operate a small thresher or corn shredder, saw wood, shell corn, grind feed, pump water, generate electricity, or run a cream separator.
