The Independent Harvester Co. and its squander of $7,000,000 of the farmers' money is not so old nor so far away as to be forgotten. It is 12 years since Senator Ol­ son first went to Springfield. In that year it cost $16,000,000 to run the affairs of this State. In 1915 it cost $46,000,000. This is not all growth--much is waste. Your Pockeibook RODNEY B. SWIFT Firin«ir «»d fctaalfto** Man The squandering spirit and the demanJ tor "pickings 'is abroad in the land. It is time to call a halt In 1911 two private relief bills were passed that took $8,600. In 1915 twenty-five were passed that took $144,000. One of Sen. Olson's relief bills was vetoed by the Gov­ ernor, and more than 40 were in­ troduced. In 1911 it cost to run the Attorney General's office, $^56,000. In 1915 % cost $541,000. The expense accounts of Committees during- the last session reached sums that were outrageous. One Committee put in a bill for railroad and Pullman fares for 8Vi days of $1,922. The Senator and Representative heading the Committee put in a joint bill forexpensesof $3,487.35. The taxpayers moneywas wasted like water. When Senators get into cliques and won't protest and fight such expenses, they would better be replaced by men who can and will. * Vote for Rodney B. Swift of Libertyville, at Primaries, Sept. 13th REPUBLICANISM IS * PRO VINE'S KEYNOTE tfe CANDIDATE FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL BELIEVES REPUBLICAN PARTY'S, ABILITY TO SOLVE PROBLEMS .-Uf His faith in the Republican party is founded upon his belief in efficient service. Walter M. Provine of Taylorville, candidate for Attorney General, declared today. "I believe in the Republican party, its wonderful record of achievements, its ability to solve questions of governmental policy and its future success," he said. "I believe, in honest and effi­ cient service by public officials, that in order to render this ef­ fective ihey must be ready at all times to withstand any on­ slaught that may be made by a bi-partisan combination of these elements in both parties that continually oppose and strive to nullify and repeal safe, sane and progressive legislation. Public officials must use the power of their office vigoroesly to defend and contend for the preservation and enforcement of wise laws. "The office of Attorney Gener­ al is one of the most important within the gift of the people of the State of Illinois. I would m jnaage and conduct it in accordance with the constitution, statutes and decisions of the courts for the best interests of the people of the state, if elected." Mr. Provine has served five terms in the legislature. He was the Republican caucus nominee for speaker at the last session, but VM defeated because he refused to enter into bi-partisan combine.

The same men who made such a splendid success of the Fourth of July celebration at the fai* grounds in Woodstock a few weeks ago are in charge of this year's fair, and the same enthusiasm and co operation between the men in charge exists *s was manifested at the Fourth of July celebration. Many excellent free attractions have been booked, which will enter­ tain the crowds each day. These in-' elude a balloon ascension and parar , chute drop, without which no fait ; ' would be a complete success. Dare Devil Ray of Brazil, Indiana, will make a balloon flight with spec­ tacular parachute drop each day. An unsupported ladder act by George W. O'Dole of Havana, Illinois, will be a big feature. This attraction has been played in leading theatres from coast to coast. It has seen one season with the Fourpaugh-Sells shows and five seasons with the Ringling shows. LaJoe troupe, a cycling act beauti­ ful, has been secured. It is a three people troupe, one man and two la­ dies, and the acts are clever,, daring and novel, combined with refinement, grace and skill. Prospects are excellent for the best races ever seen on the fair' grounds. The Woodstock fair is now in a cir­ cuit with Belvidere, IJeloit, Janesville, Palatine and Libertyville, and the horses at any one of these fairs will make the entire circuit. The same rule also applies to most of the concessions ahd while we some­ times criticise the large number of small shows, games and sports which lire attracted to every fair for money making purposes, we know that no fair would be a success without them.
