More thai* ten thousand voteswere during the primaries, which surpassed previous primary votes by approximately 2,000, and more than 16,000 votes were cast, in 1928, with Republican cav&dates receiving tho plurality. The heavy vote predicted is the restilt of the bitterly contested fight among: county candidates, perhaps the most prominent one being the contest between V. S. Lumley, veteran prose- -cutor and Republican candidate for state's attorney, and Connel M. Mc- "Dermott, McHenry attorney and Democratic candidate for the pffice of state's attorney- Then there is the race for circuit clerk between Will T. Conn, Republican candidate, and present clerk, and Earl Bower, Democrat of Richmond, and also the contest for coroner between E. H. Cook of Huntley, Republican incumbent of the office, and Val McCarthy, Democratic eandidate from Harvard. - The ballots are about - 18 by 20 inches in size and carry the tickets of the several different parties. In the upper left hard corner are the amendments, one on a proposed change in the method of amending the constitution and a second on revision of the general banking act. The special emergency relief ballot is a separate «heet about 6 by 8 inches in size. Twenty-five thousand eight hundred "ballots are being printed in the county" CARL J.

A bond iggU£, to be paid by the counties out of their share of the gas tax fund, is T»OW proposed and will be submitted to the voters. If voters do not endorse office with charm and dignity and will assume her duties at the next meeting of the court on Nevember 14. Mrs. Lucile Nye, the retiring regent, who has labored diligently for the interest of the court, was presented with a gift that expressed the appreciation and generosity of the members. With words of deep feeling she In putting through the $20,000,000 bond issue proposition for submission to the voters at the November election, the Chicago committee caused the proposition to be so worded that all persons opposed to higher taxes and opposed to voting obligation*? against the state. Will, if uninformed, tfote contrary to their wishes. Such persons would naturally vote "no" on the proposed bond Issue. If they do make a cross in the square opposite "no," they, in effect, vote "yes." They not only vote for the $20,000,000 obligation but they vote to pay the entire amount in one installment in n^ctyear's taxes, thereDy practically doubling the state taxes next year. -- Vote "Yea" to Keep Taxes Down If they vote "yes" they vote against making the bonds an obligation against the property of the state and they also vote against paying the bonds through taxes. If they vote 'Yes," they vote that the counties which received the relief money shall themselves pay off the bonds from their share of the state gasoline tax money. If they vote "yes" and the bond issue carries, Chicago,-will be required, to pay over 90 ppr cent of the bonds from its share of the gas tax money. Forty-seven counties downstate will pay tne remainder out of their share of the state gas tax money while fifty-four counties which did not use the relief funds will have no payments to make from any source,' either taxes or gasoline tax money. Therefore it Is important that every person should vote "Yes" >»n the bond issue little ballot. To do so make a mark ih the square opposite "Y.es." In the history of the state up to this time, every bond Issue submitted to the people has been for obtaining funds through ah obligation placed upon thfe real and personal property of the state, payable, principal and interest, from taxes. Up to this time every person voting for a bond issue has voted fof more obligations and more taxes. This year, for the first time, a voter is voting for a bond issue, votes against additional obligations and against Increased taxes. For the first time in voting "no", the voter votes for the obligation and for the tax boost. Passed for Chicago'* Benefit This piece of legislation was put through the Legislature upon request of the Chicago committee, headed by Mayor Cermak, as an emergency measure for residents of the state, "who, by reason of unemployment or otherwise, were destitute and in necessitous circumstances." It was claimed by the Chicago committee that the relief funds produced by the measure would be equitably distributed throughout the state. The bill went through the Legislature hastily and many of those downstate members who voted for it, now freely acknowledge their mistake. Instead of distributing the funds equitably, 92 per cent of the amount went to Cook County while over half the counties downstate did not receive any of the funds. The bond issue proposition was worded in sucfi a way as to "hook" the farmers and business men who keenly feel the effects of the depression and who, if uninformed will vote against their own interests when they go to the polls. The ballot has been so arranged that persons who are opposed to higher taxes and more oblithe bond issue they will find the ek- responde<}j assuring the sisters of futra tax in their bill next year.

The issue is clear and every -voter should give heed to this matter so that the bond issue does not to carry by reason of oversight^or neglect. Another question to be aubmitted to the voters is the amendment to the state banking act. This law was introduced at the last session of the legislature and passed and signed by t&s Governor and will be submitted to the voters on the large ballot at the coning election. If thi* amendment is ratified by the •Alters, it will make it ^possible for the depositors of the closed banks to get relief, in giving the receivers the right to borrow money on the assets •of the closed bank from govenmntal agencies.

The new board of trustees consists of M3ss Lena Stoffel, Mrs. E. R. Sutton, Miss Marie Mertes and Mrs. Agnes Adams. The cheerful assistance of these members can always be depended upon- Other officers installed were the same as had filled office the previous year. Hie committee, with Mrs. George Miller and Miss Dorothy Knox in charge, had carefully planned arrangements for this social meeting with the result that a most delightful evening was enjoyed by all present. A tasty Hallowe'en lunch was served, followed by gamtes of bridge and five hundred, the lucky players winning a variety pf pretty prizes. The next meeting will be for the conducting of business and will take place on November 14. At that time discussion of reduction of initiation fees will be taken up and members should turn out and voice opinion on same. The privilege is granted a* a result of conditions .of the times. ; gations willi when voting against the bond issue, vote to nearly double next year's taxes. Secretary of State William J. StraUon, in an official document sent to each county clerk in the state, explains the operation of the tax proposition and states that in case the bond issue fails to pass, a property tax will be spread next year. He says: Explains Provisions of the Bond Issue. "This property tax will require at least 30 cents on each $100 assessed "Valuation, which will practically double the present state tax rate and will be spread over the entire state. If the bond issue is approved, there will be no property tax required to retire the anticipation notes issued to obtain money for unemployment relief. The anticipation notes will be paid with the proceeds of the bonds and the bonds will be paid from the counties' share of motor fuel tax. Each county will pay only in the proportion it shared in relief funds. No deduction will be made from the share of the county which did not receive these funds." Vote "yes" on the $20,000,000 bond propositnon. You therefore, vote against doubling the state tax. If you vote "no," you vote for increased taxes. If you do not vote at all, your action is equivalent to voting "mo" if you vote for members of the General Assembly. The bond issue, to carry; must receive a majority of all persons voting for members of the General Assembly. To carry, the proposed bond issue should receive an almost solid support from down state. Up to this time, Chicago has failed to give the measure the support it promised the bers of the Legislature. in Chicago.
