AI.chuler is the Man for Governor.

No man in the state of Illi1ois has
better record for faithfulness to duty
and honesty of act and purpose than
has Samuel Alschuler. the democratic
candidate for governor. During his
two terms III the general assembly of
the state, he studied every question
with an eye sirgle to the public inter-
ests aud added with genuine regard TO
the welfare of the people. But not
only does he stand before the public
without flaw as to honesty of pur-
pose and faithfulness to duty, he is
also a man of great ability and strong
character. His was one of the master
full minds on the judiciary committee.
and on the floor his influence was Sec
ond to that of no other mem Der. His.
opinions were always listened tn and
ever carried great weight. He is fair
and open in his methods aud his known
integrity and ability gave him great
power with hisfellow mem bers. aud
secured him hosts of friends among
republicans as we'll as democrats.
So generally is the ability and in-
tegrity of Mr.. Alschuler recognized
that even partisan republicans praise
him. short time before the demo-
cratic convention that nominated him
met, his candidacy was being dis
cussed by a group of men, among
them Judge Cochran. the well known
republican of Sullivan, Moultrie coun-
ty, who said:
IF / should ever become the gov
ernor of Illinois should appoint Sam
uel Alschuler, democrat that he is. to
the most responsible position within
my gift. / served with him in the
legislature and know him to be true
man."
This is the kind of a man for the
people of Illinois to intrust their af-
fairs to. He will not disappoint them.
nor in any way neglect their inter-
ests.
Although Mr.. Alschuler speaks Ger
man fuently, in all things he is an
American. Well informed in public
affairs. he would know what to
do and how to do it in order to accom-
plish that which would rebound to the
of the state and it's citizens.
While a Jeffersonian democrat. he is
liberal and broad-minded in his views.

Lincoln ON Love of Liberty.

In his speech at WATERFOWL, Wis.
last week, Mr.. Bryan took up the
charge that he was the chief cause of
the prolongation of the war in the
Philippines, and in nesting it quoted
Lincoln on love and liberty in way
that must put every republican who
reyeres the memory of Lincoln to
blush. Mr.. Bryan said:
when my opponents make this
charge they pay me a compliment.
1.-THE Filipinos knew of the declara-
ton of Independence before they knew
there was a man in this C Iuntry bear
ing my name. Instead of me being
the cause, it was higher power than
a democratic candidate that placed in
their hearts the love of liberty.
IL tell you it was Abraham Lincoln
who said it was God Himself that
placed in every human heart the love
of liberty and the republican party
cannot tear that love OF liberty from
any human heart.
The republican party says that we
are going TO give the FiliPinos right
to participate in their government.
We give them the rightP 1t is not
a man-given thing. God Himself
joined together in every human being
love of liberty. and what God has
joined together let not the republican
party tear asunder."
