S. Lumiey of Woodstock is an able attorney, and in many ways a very ^llieable fellow, but an utter impossibility as a State's Attorney at this time, r > j/'Eight years ago he was defeated for State's Attorney for the sole reason ^ ' that during the entire time he was State's Attorney he never turned in one Ijfipny to our school funds. "Former State's Attorneys had all done this, and whatever Mr. Lumley's accuse then was, or whatever he may now say, the above fact is fixed in the minds-of the voters. It was this fact that defeated him in 1908, and this jtlone would defeat him in the present campaign. r ""Phere are other things which completely eliminate Mr. Lumiey from the '•imotest possibility of securing the nomination at this time. ( e ; ̂ > "Barnes is 'dry* while Lnkgr is-'wsf and' this skHteHffqpldjklut Lum- "The tax payers erf this cotmty are now thoroughly aroused.

Xhey ^ wu|4 :ss spon vote for Joslyo, who is now holding their school money as to Vote for a candidate not pledged to make Joslyn ifegorge. "It was a plain case of political suicide when Mr. Lumiey entered upon this campaign and thought he could go through to primary day, and straddle ^, v the issue on our school money by remaining silent. Voters who were favor- ifcbly inclined to his candidacy have waited months for his platform, or to . fearn where he stood on this very important issue, but up this time he has pnnained silent, and it is now too late for him to speak. ?fy' v; | "The voters have also determined to cease paying $1200.00 a year to f, son of our present State's Attorney to do the very work they pay'his father v^f $3900.00 per year for doing. "They know a paid Assistant State's Attorney is a farce, as Mr. Joslyn ' 7 ; «an readily leave his office for months and engage in private practice as an ̂ ' Attorney in the Orpet case at Waukegan, at a reputed salary of $100.00 per v iay. „ ( "By Ids utter silence, Mr. Lumiey has also completely dodged this issue - of a paid Assistant State's Attorney, that is also of vital interest^ "4o every farmer and tax payer throughout the entire'county. The voters ^"fiave rightly assumed from his silence that Mr. Lumiey favors the tax pay- f;;' ers paying $1200.00 per year for an Assistant State's Attorney and their po­ sition is greatly strengthened, by well defined rumors, that long ago Mr. W,umley slated Jus law partner. Attorney Charles Allen, for the position of ' lUtis paid Assistant State's Attorney. 'It is now entirely too late for Mr. Lumiey to gain political prestige for campaign hy an attempt to line up with the clear, strong, brave plat­ form swung out by Charles P. Barnes early in the present campaign. 'j* "Mr. Lumiey was clearly beaten to it, and beaten fairly. He overlookec^ j Qthe one chance that might have made him a formidable candidate foi|l- ^ State's Attorney. . "Candidates must stand for something. They cannot straddle, or run away with the tax payers' school money. "No voter in this county can consistently be asked to vote for a candidate who does not stand squarely with the tax payers, on the important issued, of their school money, and a paid Assistant State's Attorney. p* "The platform of Charles P. Barnes is sure to win him the nomination f«jj^ State's Attorney. Hi* platform is right in every way, and the voters kao«$££: that he will live up to it, and they admire the stand he has taken, whether nominated or not, he will compel our present State's Attorney disgorge every dollar of school money he is now withholding. ;'r^ "They also admire his exposure of Joslyn, regardless of personal consc|C quences to himself. It takes nerve to fight graft in public officials and Barnfjfl? ,has the nerve, and did not hesitate to step forward and shoulder the entirgr 'responsibility of exposing Joslyn, and the tax payers' fight for their schotp*^ money. Only for hfaj* the school money would be forever lost to the tax ­ payers. "Scores of tax payers in every township of McHenry County are earnestly. supporting the candidacy of Mr. Barnes, because of the stand he has takeft, and even his political opponents freely admit that his nomination is no# assured. "To claim thst a candidate in the position of Mr. Lumiey has knowing placed himaglf, stands a possible chance of defeating Mr. Barnes on his " «n*; platform is too utterly absurd to even be talked of or seriously -ered. "Candidates are poor judges of political sentiment or political condition^ 7*| but if Mr. Lumiey has any sensible political advisors they will do well to observe that Vv'ry^ 'I' :Wa'.• fit . there is handwriting on the wall «»d if they will correct^ wiii see that it reads an overwhelming defeat for their rh wftii pa q^j^ent Stg.te'a Attprn^v." Z ~ „ ^ v i mK z M M Broirasville, Texas, June 2S, 191 Dear Father and Mother--I am Writing to list you know that I am still kicking. I suppose you have read the papers lately so you know all about everything. We surely have plenty of trouble, fighting all along the river with Carranza's soldiers who came across, hot Carranza denies it. Some were captured and said they were his soldiers. They killed a bunch 'of Americans near Chihahua. » ' We haVe been restricted to camp for a week now and are all packed and ready. I have not heard from you this week. We were drilling next to the river the other day when about ten shots went sifting thru us, but we couldn't see them, and the same atfernoon they were taking pot shots at our stable guards and mules. They have the advantage of the brush along the river banks and we can't cross, till the infantry and cav- Siry go for we have to protect thtem with our guns. Two troops of caval­ ry went across here this week and had some sharp fighting. I received the papers from Nellie ahd thank her for them. All the women have left Matamoras and •every "kid*' from twelve up is armed and carrying two bandoliers full of cartridges slung on their shoulders and one waist belt. We are just at the breaking point now. But if we ever get in there Woe be unto those "specks" for we will ssrely wipe them off the map/ This, surely is the life, laying on our bunks with our clothes off and the wind blowing thru, as we have the sides rolled up. We have only two in one tent. I just came off guard Shd "Wis: on out-post It's a path going thru the brush, where two of us walk. How s "dad" getting along? Give my regards to Dick Walsh.

It is very 'apparent that State's Attorney Joslyn is trying hard to evade the issue that has been raised him with reference to why he doesn't come forward and turn in the school money he is now wrongfully withholding. It is impossible for him to evade this issue, and it is silly for him to make the attempt. He and his bondsmen might as well meet the question now as later. With the above heading tho Crys­ tal Lake Herald last week very aptly said: "Several of our county papers pub­ lished articles last week quoting ex­ tensively from what Dororthy Dix, Winifred Black and other of the "sob sisters," who write for the Chicago dailies, had to say about the opening statement made by State's Attorney n r joslyn to the jury in the Orpet case in Waukegan. Now we can't understand what all of this stuff about "a lean, lank lawyer pacing be­ fore the judge and jury" over in Lake county has to do with the man­ ner in which State's Attorney Jos­ lyn has handled the school fundB of McHenry county. Joslyn, who has served nearly two terms in that of­ fice, is said to be out for re-election as state's attorney, and his manner of handling the school funds of our county is the issue in the campaign. What he does, while on the Orpet case in Lake county is _ _ terest ̂the, taxpayers of McHenry county. ^h< handled our is of vital interest to On this point Mr. J' friends have been ex' and the voters only methods of handling taoney thru the fsSts that have been publ: P.
