a massmeeting Of the republicans of
Ogle county, called for the purpose.
and was in response to a set of resolu-
tons indorsing his candidacy and ask
ing him to declare it.
While the gathering was nomtnally
an Og1e county one, yet large dele
cations from Lee and Stephenson coun-
ties not only swelled its size but gave
it the appearance of representing the
Thirteenth congressional district, an
appearance which was strengthened
by the presence of Congressman Robert
r. Hit as the presiding officer.
Outlines His Policy.
In declaring his intention Of making
the race Col. Lowden specifically said
his residence was in Cook county, and
he could only claim partial home here,
yet he would not have entered the con-
test without assurances of support
from the northwest territory, and it
was the offer of that support which
had decided him. He followed with a
pledge as to the course he would fol-
low If nominated and elected. He prom
ised business administration, nonin-
reference with the legislative branch
Of the state government, and an ad :
herence to the merit system in the
management of the state institutions.
The speeches all indicated the cam
paign would be "A business man for
governor
Congressman Hit, in opening the
meeting, said: For some time there
has been much discussion in this state,
by the press and public. of the men
suggested for the republican nomina
ton for governor.
THE people Of Ogle county have
kindly feeling for one who is their
neighbor. The republicans OF the coun-
ty believe the best man who has been
mentioned is one they have known for
years; whose abilities particularly fit
him for the place. ! speak Of Frank o.
Lowden.
"F'rom the time he first began as a
farmers boy, following the steps so
many of you have trodden; as mern-
Der of the bar and as business man.
by his force his name has become
known not only in this state but be-
yond it's boundaries. We know the
movement here today will be recipro-
Gated In other counties.
Our state has much of business to
do, and we want a business man to
supervise it, His character is such 1t
insures capable and honest admin
istration. 1t is good thing to have
good names on a ticket. With the
strenuous Roosevelt at the head Of the
national ticket and the vigorous Low
den Of the state we will sweep Illi-
nois."
Congressman Hit concluded his
speech with a few remarks in advocacy
of a protective tariff, referring to the
present agitation in England as evi-
dence of it's wisdom, and speaking of
Chamberlain and Balfour as Learning
the alphabet of politics from the re-
publicans of the United States"
