llcan candidates for Trustee of the
Sanitary District Of Chicago. has been
member Of the body for the past five
years, and II Ii on the record he has
made on the Board that he Is making
his canvass In the present campaign.
The most critical period In the his.
tory Of the great sanitary canal project
hns been passed during this i've years,
and Trustee Carter has held importan
posts and handled much of the really
Important work during this time, ana
there has been nothing whatever I'm the
nature Of scandal In connection will,
the work during that time.
For two years Mr.. Carter was Chair.
man Of the Committee ON Federal Re-
lations. ana for the past three years
he has been Chairman Of the Finance
Committee. practically directing the
financial affairs Of the district, the most
important feature to the taxpayers.
Every case brought before the FL.
nance Committee has been fought out
by Trustee Carter as Chairman on lines
parallel with the interests of the people,
and he has consistently and deter.
minedly insisted upon the award OF
contracts to the lowest bidder, that the
successful contractor should fulnll I'm
every way the terms OF his agreement
with the district, and he has oppOse,l
| IN every case extras to the cOntrac ctOrs
for carrying out the terms of their
agreements.
In the matter of expenditures the
records OF the Board show that Chair
man Carter has pursued a course as
economical as possible, and he has been
against all expenditures not absolutely
essential to the work In hand, ana IN
accordance with the spirit of the law
ana the ideas of the men who originally
planned the great work. with the object
OF making 1t ultimately u navigable
channel.
Mr. Carter was one OF the leaders In
the movement to interest the Federal
Government In making the canal n con.
tinuous deep-water channel from It's
end to the Mississippi. lie also adyo.
Gated the opening OF the channel at the
earliest date possible, for the relief of
the people of Chicago and the purIhca.
tion of their water supply. working
with majority OF the members OF the
Board to this end.
His work has not been confined to the
Drainage Board itself. As President OF
the Board OF Trade In 1903 he urged
the cooperation Of oil business aud
commercial interests In the city In the
work OF securing the Improvement Of
the Chicago River ana harbor for the
benefit OF commercial and Industrial
Chicago, particularly In the line Of lake
traffic. and he has had much to do with
that work In Chicago before Congress
and the Federal authorities.

FRANK WEN1ER.

Frank Wcnter was elected Sanitary
Trustee In December. 1881. on the Dem.
Ocratic ticket and run the highest on the
ticket. For two years he fought In the
Sanitary Board for carrying out the
law against large majority that Were
afraid to commence the work and build
the canal, and 1t was mostly through
the pounding and agitation Of Frank
Wenter In and out Of the board that the
press and public came to the conclusion
that the controlling forces In the SAM
tary Board We're either incapable Or
had not the courage to carry out the
law ana build the canal. When the
majority In ls0O.0l made declaration
In the board that the size Of the Drain.
ago Canal was too large and appealed
to the legislature to amend the law and
make the canal about half the size.
Frank Wcnter was the only man In the
board that voted and fought against
such action. and his stand arrested the
attention of the public press and the
legislature refused to act and the law
remained. After the resignation OF
three Of the members Of the board In
1891 three new members were elected
In November of the same year. ana
Frank Wcnter was chosen president of
the board, ana new era had begun.
The work was started with a vim So
that nine months thereafter. on Sept.
,, 1892, the first shovel of earth was
lifted by President Wcnter. The oc.
caslon was q marked celebration.
Mr.. Wenter was reelected four times
president and served from 1891 to 1895
In that capacity. ana on retiring from
that office over 20 per cen, of the en-
cavatlOn on the Main Channel had been
finished, all contracts having been let
Ia the lowest responsible bidders. In
the election for trustees In 1895 Frank
Wentcr was reelected and led his tick
81 by 10000 votes. The Republicans
elected their president the following
December, having q majority of the
board. Frank Wentcr acted two years
as chairman of the committee on fin.
ancc AMI the last three years as chair.
man of the committee on federal rela-
tlOns. The proceedings OF the board
bear evidence of his work and activity,
ana his efforts We're always aimed TO
finish the canal and give the people of
this city the benefit Of pure water, ana
when the time came for the opening of
the canal, Mr.. Wenter stood on no tech.
nicallty in obtaining the permit from
the Governor of the State. and made
some concessions to the Illinois and
Michigan Canal Commissioners rather
than get into tedious and prolonged
litigation.
II was only by making these cOnces-
sions that the canal was opened and
the people got the lOng-sOught for re-
lief for the money expended by them.
Mr.. Wenier was there irOm beginning
TO end and he spent ten years of the
best part of his life to see the greatest
work Of any municipality inaugurated
and finished without jobbing and scan
dal
Frank Wentcr Is not q man given to
pyrOtechnlcs. As a business man OF
twenty-five years standing he has al
ways displayed good sense. He Is es-
sentally a man of action. His public
and business career belong to Chicago,
where he has lived since 1867, and he
is yet In the prime OF life.

men with good public records. he was
nominated for assessor. and In the clcc.
ton that followed he received the sec.
Ond highest number Of votes cast for
any member Of the board. He immedi.

As a result Of the Supreme Court dc.
cisiOn and the demands Of the city gov.
ernment for the full amount of the levy
allowed by law taxes were increased
all over the city, ana on the West Side
the Increase was from S. to S7.23 on the

hardship on taxpayers that this year
Assessor Miller insisted upon n general
reduction, and as a result a reduction
OF SlI,3l1, 1,564 was made over 1890 val
uatiOns for the West Side. He con.
tinued his efforts for reduction when

sonal inspection Of the work. He has
served on many important committees.
and 1t was through his endeavors and
watchfulness that the Joliet work was
finished In time to be Of service with
the rest of the canal. This work was
perhaps the most difficult that the sani.
tary district had to do. involving as It
did many perplexing engineering, legal.
and business problems. The special
oversight of 1t was assigned to Trustee
Braden by the board during the last
year of construction.
The most conspicuous and successful
Accomplishment of Mr.. Braden as a
Trustee. however. was the securing Of
legislation at Springfield In 1897, where.
by the sanitary district was enabled TO
raise Si.5OO,OOO more than was pre-.
viOusly Obtainable under the law. for
the completion of the canal. Had this
legislation not been secured the sanitary
canal would not he open to-day and the
city's water supply would continue to
be polluted. He has insisted on the mp
plication of business principles and
common sense to problems Of location
and construction.

a factor in the politics of the Thirty.
