ize that government is everyoodys bust
ness, and must not be left to a profess
sional class composed of a comparatively
few interested persons Then. and not
until then, shall We approach the state
of a true republic. such as the school
books tell the children we are" Frances
E. Willard, in her annual address before
the National W. c. T. U. convention. at
Buffalo. in 1897. said:
I'VE favor postal savings banks and d.
rect legislation whereby the representa-
tive government of which we have been
so proud and which is becoming the most
colossal of failures. can be replaced by
the skillful method invented by the only
real republic in the world-that of Switz-
erland. where the people originate or con-
firm their own laws by a popular vote"
That is an Endorsement which should
have great weight. 1t comes from no
political party, but from the intelligent
womanhood of the nation.-Direct Legis-
lation.
While the Republican papers of the
state dare not openly oppose direct legis-
lation, but confine their attacks to under
hand attacks on II. But let the Repuo-
lican papers say what they Will, the idea
is right and will carry with the other
good ideas in the Democratic platform.

State treasury when Wulf was elected.
and was again placed in charge when
Hertz was elected. AS Tanners repre-
sentative. he has practically been State
Treasurer for four years. and, at Tan
ner's dictation, was made the. candidate
of the Republican party this year. which
will. in case of his election, give him
continuous term of six years as Treas
urer of the State of Illinois, while tho
law limits the term to two years. Mr..
Whittemore represents the barnacle in
politics.; the man who hangs on as long
as there is anything to hang to. He rep
resents the Tanner idea in Illinois poll
ties and in State government. lie repre-
sents in his nomination the one man
power in politics, and the one man profit
in office. While he may be personally q
very nice gentleman. he represents theor-
les and practices repulsive to true Amer
Icanism.
Now. let rs take a look at the other
candidate, Mr.. NJ T.. Dunlap. Although
candidate for office. He has been ac-
tive in politics. but never for himself or
for his own profit. His activity has been
that of a man who believes IL TO be the
duty of every citizen to keep thoroughly
conversant with political events, without
blindly following the orders of party
bosses. His selection a candidate by
his party vas due to his peculiar fitness
for the position. and because he was q
man fresh from the people. and because
he represented, not the office-holding
class or the political machine, but tho
whole people. the people who bear the
burdens and pay the taxes.
In selecting a candidate to vote for,
between these two men. the American
citizen can hardly hesitate. In voting
for Mr.. Whittemore he must realize that
he is voting for Tannerism, for machine
rule, for life tenure in Office In voting
for Mr.. Dunlap he will vote for clean
politics, the rule of the whole people
and rotation in office. The thoughtful
patriotic citizen must vote for Mr.. Dun
lap.

MAKING A CHOICE.
No Citizen Faithful to State Constit ution
Can Vote for yvhittemore.

To man who desires to pass an in
telligent vote, II Is always well TO exam
inc the record and character of each cam
didate, the principles which he repre-
sents and the causes which led 10 his
nomination.
In Illinois this year. the positions on
the State ticket are not so important as
In a presidential year. but the men head
ing the tickets are, respectively, repre-
sentative of different elements and the
defeat or election of either will be looked
upon to a certain degree as an indorse-
ment or a rebuke, the case may be.
Of the elements he represents. The State
during the past two years has been IN
der the control OF the Republican par
ty, or rather the concentration OF that
party in the person of Gov. Tanner. He
has been the party. Among the men at
tached to his cause and dependent upon
him for political prominence Is F. X
Whittemore. who has been follower OF
TANNER for many years. He was his
cniet clerk when the latter was sub
Treasurer of the u s., in Chicago. He
was placed by Tanner IN charge OF the

at the age of 1s. His experience as q
teacher covers a period OF twelve years
-four In Pennsylvania and eight in I'LL
nois and his subsequent service OF eight
years as su. erintendent gave him q fur
ther insight into the needs OF our public
school system In 1855 he was chosen su-
perintendent OF schools of Stephenson
county. and was reelected IN 1890 by O
majority OF 1.S03-very nearly II not the
largest majority ever given in that coun-
ty to a candidate for any once upon any
ticket. During the eight years he served
as county superintendent of schools his
ability as an educator was recognized on
every hand. He was honored with every
office IN the superintendents department
OF the State Teachers association, both
appointive and elective. He was likewise
honored In the Northern Illinois Teach
ers' association. having been elected

the three cand lates on the Democratic
ticket none is better qualified for the
position than the Hon. Jacob z. Seller
of Wabash county. Mr.. Seller was born
on the farm where he still lives June %.
1862. His early life was that of farmers
boys usually, and at the age of II he
attended normal school in an adjoining
county, after which he taught school for
some time. and then attended normal
school in Indiana. after which he took
a course in agriculture at the University
OF Illinois, graduating at the head OF his
class. His life has been passed since
then in farming and stock raising, and
Mr.. Seller is one of the most successful
farmers in Southern Illinois. He has al
ways been prominent in grange and farm
ers' Institutes in the state. With refer
ence to h politics, all his efforts in that
direction have been active and aggressive
IN behalf OF the Democratic party. and
he stands high in the estimation of the
people-both Republicans and Democrats
of the county where he lives. He was
a free silver man two years prior to the
adoption of the Chicago platform. Mr..
Seller is married and has three children.
His father is one of the most highly re-
spected citizens in the county. being one

NOT one OF these candidates for re-elec-
ton have pledged themselves. either to
vote for the repeal of the Allen bill or alb
stain for voting for similar Doodle meas
ures. on the contrary, with brazen i'm
pudence they faunt their shame in tho
face of honest citizens and say: What
are You going to do about il 20
Now let us see how the Democratic
party OF Illinois stands on the Allen law
issue. The platform adopted by the state
Democratic committee not only denoun-
pledges the party to repeal the same.
OF the Democratic members of the last
general assembly who voted for the AL
len bill only three outside of Cook Co.
have been nominated for reelection.
They are w. V. Rhodes of Green. James
Branen OF De Kalb. and L. =. Morris OF
Iroquois. These three have each pledged
himself in writing to work and vote for
the repeal of the Allen law. Thus we
have throughout the state ten Republican
candidates for reelection against
three Democratic candidates. and while
the former are brazenly proclaiming their
adherence to the Infamous Allen law. the
latter are pledged to its repeal.
The Republican party cannot evade tho
issue. John r. Tanner, the governor of
Illinois, is n Republican. the acknowledge
ed leader of the party in this lie has
absolute control of the party machinery
and is supreme dictator of the party or
Eanization. He not only favored the Allen
bill. but gave his support to the gas bill.
the warehouse bill AMI all other Doodle
measures intended to benefit monopolies
and corporations. Should the Republi-
cans carry the state this fall II Will, in
effect. be an endorsement of John r. Tan
ner and the last Doodle legislature. Every
man who votes the Republican ticket in
November stands sponsor for the Doodle
legislation of the last general assembly.

THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES.
HON. NAPOLEON 3. MORRISON.
Democratic Candidate for Trustee of
State University.

Events occurring in connection with
the University of Illinois within the last
two years have demonstrated the fact
that business ability is no less needed in
the administration of its affairs than
educational skill. The Democratic state
convention made no mistake in the Sc
lection OF candidates for the position of
members OF the board of trustees of that
institution of learning. SO dear to the
hearts Of all patriotic sons and daughters
of Illinois. One of the candidates OF the
party has already demonstrated his fit
mes for reelection. and will without doubt
be returned by a sweeping majority.
Napoleon B. Morrison of Odin, Ill, can
didate for trustee of the University of
Illinois. belongs to one of the oldest fam
lilies of New England, his ancestry ap-
pearing in the records as early as 1885,
Having acquired an academic education
he chose the business or profession of
civil engineering and followed it con-
tinuously for about twenty years. when
he settled in Southern Illinois and has
since been identified with the business
