Horn IL one Of the most loyal and hard.
working Republicans In Illinois. Mr..
Horn II out spending his time and
money for the election of the State
ana county ticket next November.
"Our" Van Cleave IL still on exhibi-
tlOn ut Republican headquarters at the
Great Northern. Paddy Gleason, how.
ever, Is not with him.
Congressman LOrimer denies the
Democratic story that he attempted to
induce John Y. White to run as an In.
dependent candidate for Congress
against G. Porter johnson in the Sec
Ond District. He declares that he never
mentioned the subject to Mr.. White
nor authorized anybody to speak for
him. LOrlmer processes confidence that
he will defeat his Democratic opponent
as matters now stand without outside
help. The Republican managers say
II anybody approached Mr.. White with
a proposition Of that sort 1t was In ac-
cOrdance with Democratic trick car
ried out for the express purpose of be-
Ing exploited to injure the Republican
candidate.

House next winter a bill to repeal the
law will he introduced and passed, too,

It would he far more honest, In my Opin-
lon, to go back to the spells system, as
bad as 1t was. 1t Is hard work getting
The boys stirred up when there IL no
chance to offer them positions. l do

talking out loud about making an at.
tack on civil service, but In all the
workers meetings the best way to
arouse enthusiasm was to tell them OF
The jobs that would be ready for the
faithful II we carried the election. The
Democrats In the last House favored
The repeal of the law, anu believe IL
We control the Legislature viii III meets
next January concerted effO,t will DO
