hk 26 WINNETKA TALK November 3, 1928 JUDGE THOMPSON SCORES G. 0. P. STATE LEADERS Democratic Candidate for Gov- ernor Addresses Large Audience of Winnetkans Judge Floyd E. Thompson, Demo- cratic candidate for governor of Illi- nois, spoke at Community House, Win- netka, last Saturday evening. Village President Henry F. Tenney, who introduced the nominee, char- acterized the meeting as the first Dem- ocratic rally in Winnetka in forty-five years. . Judge Thompson, who said he could only touch briefly upon the more im- portant matters he wished to discuss, within the hour assigned him, also de- clared that in order to be in Win- netka it was necessary to cancel an engagement to attend the football game at Champaign. He immediately plunged into a vig- orous assault upon the Republican ad- ministration at Springfield. Strikes Blow at Small He attacked with terrific force such well known adversaries as Len Small, Dr. Herman N. Bundesen Savior oF BABIES FrIEND OF MOTHERS BuiLper oF HEALTH ADMINISTRATOR ErriciENT EXECUTIVE DIPLOMAT MINISTER OF MERCY ADVOCATE OF JUSTICE FIGHTER OF RIGHT KinpLy NEIGHBOR 'Wise FATHER 'WaoLEsoME CITIZEN DR. HERMAN N. BUNDESEN Democratic Candidate for CORONER Fred Sterling and other state Repub- licans, matching up statements with statistics and finishing off with declar- ations of what he proposes to do if given the governor's office. An audience that filled Matz hall turned out to hear Judge Thompson, those present including a number of Republicans. Roswell B. Mason called the meeting to order and presented Village Presi- dent Henry F. Tenney, who presided and introduced the speaker. He said: "Well, here we are, at the first Dem- ocratic rally in forty-five years. "We are now engaged in the hottest political campaign that has occurred since the free silver campaign in 1896. "You have read in the papers all about the national issues, all of which are important but these are not more important than those with which the voters of Illinois are confronted in the state campaign." Exceptionally Well Qualified He said it is customary for the "outs to damn the ins," but declared, "the Republican administration's record in Illinois is one of the blackest in the history of the state." He characterized Judge Thompson as a deep political student, one qual- ified to cope with the conditions exist- ing in the state, and deemed it a great honor "to be able to present to you, a man, who, with our help, will be the next Governor of Illinois -- Judge Floyd E. Thompson." Judge Thompson expressed the con- viction that the time has arrived for a change at the state house, adding that he did not consider the election of his opponent in this campaign as representing the change for which he feels the people are clamoring. He declared that not over eight or ten men have dominated affairs at Springfield for the past several years. The Republican platform, he said, is silent regarding the conditions in Springfield, adding, "if you think there is going to be any change if the Re- publican ticket is elected, you are mis- taken." Will Demand Action Judge Thompson touched on the var- ious issues of the campaign as affect- ing state politics, outlining clearly his stand on each, declaring that if he 1s elected governor he will assume the leadership, in commanding the legis- lature to set the governmental house- hold aright. He referred particularly to taxation measures. Reapportionment legislation was another subject of pointed discussion. Restoration of the civil service law, was still another. "Civil service employes now are in slavery," he declared. Publication of the state pay roll, showing the name, address and amount received by each state employe, would be absolutely demanded, he declared. The handling of state funds and in- terest monies and numerous other problems were included in Judge Thompson's address, problems which Piano KATHLEEN AIR LAURA COUPLAND PHYLLIS K.
