Adam Ortseifen for Governor.

Adam Ortseifen for Governor.
The Democrats of Cook County have
found a leader who is good for fifty
thousand majority in Chicago alone.
They have picked out for the high pO.
sition of Governor of Illinois one of the
cleanest. brightest, ablcst and most
higl-minded young business men in the
State.
Mr.. Ortseifen'scandidacy was brought
about by members of the great Ger

In 1892 the Republicans ignored the

ticket, and adopted an illiberal and re-

The Democrats took advantage OF
this mistake and nominated German

sive war tax, Mr.. Ortseifen will bring
an issue into the campaign with him
which will cost the Republican party
thousands of votes.
The Republican platform Is silent
upon the subject of war taxes.
But the war taxes themselves are not
silent. They are piling up at such a
rate that an unnecessary surplus of
SSO,OOO,OOO has been created in the Fed
cral Treasury through them.
The war taxes are not only burden
to the brewing industry but to thou
sands of other Industries In the state.
Ortseifens election would be a re-
buke to unjust taxation.
