the so-called trusts, this journal has
nevertheless maintained and 1t still
maintains that all attempts to arbi.
trarily interfere with, oppress or ham.
per our great industrial combinations
and corporations, whose activities have
made this the greatest commercial ma
! tiOn In the world, are always fraught
with possibilities Of great danger II not
disaster to the entire country. Wise leg
islation regarding vital questions can
only be had through wise and able
men, but nothing but danger and dis.
aster could arise II matters Of such
grave moment should happen to be In.
trusted to cranks, irresponsibles, fanat-
les and theorists.
Hence 1t Is to be seen that the Con-
gressional elections this fall are full Of
Importance. and the legislative elec.
tions, affecting rs they do the member.
ship Of the United States Senate, are Of
no less consequence.
Those who have given the situation
In Cook County this fall careful con.
sideratiOn are united In the opinion
that 1t will be the peoples own fault II
this election shall not result well for
the public interests Of the nation.
There has never been a better field to
pick from In Congressional campaign
than In the pending one.
II the voters are impelled by wise and
patriotic rather than partisan ideas or
motives, they can send down from Cook
County the best delegation to Congress
that ever represented the people Of the
premier county and city Of the West.
With such men as Hon. W.. w. VII.
son, Of the Third; Hon. George p. FOs-
ter, In the Fourth; Hon. william Lori.
mer. In the Sixth; Hon. Philip Knopf,
In the Seventh, Hon. William Ma.
hony In the Eighth, and Hon. Henry
Sherman BOutell in the Ninth
Congressional Districts, the elect.
ors Of Cook County should have
no trouble in selecting Con.
gressional delegation that will stand
for the peoples interests In the
crucial times which, judging from the
declarations emanating from high
places, are sure to come In the near
future; men, who will not be led away
by any anarchistic ideas In dealing
with the great business interests of the
country, but who will at the same time
stand by the breadwinners Of the M.
ton In n way calculated best to con.
serve and to advance their interests.
Every vote cast Tor w. w. Wilson In
the Third Congressional District will
be vote cast for safe legislation on the
trust and all other questions coming up
In the next Congress.
~
Hon. George p. Foster, the present
able Congressman from the Fourth Dis.
trlct, will be reelected this fall with.
out opposition. His return to the Ma.
tional House Of Representatives will
be In the interests of the whole people
Of this nation at time when sound
judgment and integrity were never
more necessary In the cause Of good
government.
In the Sixth Congressional District
the election Of Hon. William LOrimer
seems assured. The recent registration
shows that his leutenants have been
working overtime In the Sixth District,
and particularly in Mr.. Lorimer's home
ward-the Thirty-fOurth. Mr.. Lorimer
mas made n record In the past as
member Of Congress which Is the
strongest kind of guarantee that the
interests OF the nation are safe in his
hands.
%SA
Hon. Philip KnOpf who Is the Re
publican candidate for Congress I'm tlie
Seventh District, is undoubtedly one OF
the strongest men now before the peo.
pie OF Cook County as a candidate for
public office. Mr.. Knopf has discharged
the important duties of County Clerk
during the past eight years in such n
splendidly efficient manner as to call
for general commendation. lie was n
brave soldier of the Union during the
Civii War, Is man Of experience in
public affairs as well as in all matters
affecting national and local govern
mental affairs. and will make one of
he best Congressman ever elected from
Cook County.
