These were the Instructions, (word for word) issued to McHenry County Republican Precinct Committeemen last Thursday evening when they attended the County Convention. The local newspapers, barred from this meeting by County payrollers manning the entrances and exits, have already given you an account ana expressed their dismay at this obviously rigged proceedings neld under the guise or an open convention. This proceeding was so unfair and undemocratic that 12 committeemen rebelled and walked out. Why did they walk out? You be the judge. Th«*y were refused recognition from the floor, declared out of order, shouted down and rendered impotent because they dared challenge the "powers that be" and "party wheelhorses" who had rigged this convention for their candidate for the office of Circuit Judge. Masterminding and spearheading this fiasco was an Assistant States Attorney of long standing in this County, aided and abetted by his hand picked Convention Chairman (a tried and true State Payroller) intent upon foisting their will and political ambitions % on an unsuspecting group of Republican Voters. Denied the right to be heard, represent the voters, serve on appointive committees and as delegates, these 12 Committeemen refused to take further part in such proceedings and departed. The twelve free committeemen did the only thing that they could do. They refused to participate and walked of this meeting. For this they deserve the congratulations and wholehearted endorsement of every Republican voter in McHenry County who believes in representative government. Sponsored by a Committee of free Republican voters who still believe in representative government.
