AT WORK
Shelby Cullon's Senatorial Cam
paign Opened With Columns
of Literature.
SCATTERED OVER ILLINOIS
Workers in Congressional Campaign
Are Putting in Many Days in
the Country.

That Shelby NJ. Cullom intends TO be
candidate 10 succeed himself as Unit
ed States senator from Illinois is now
an assured fact. notwithsl andiug the
talk that he would be frightened out
or the race by some of the younger
horses of the party. Some time ago
there was a stop put TO the talk that
Col. Lowden would be under the Cul-
lom mantle as il fell. as the colonel
himself gave ont the information that
he would support the senior senator in
this contest
Press Bureau opens.
Something that looks very much like
a press bureau has opened and the
republican newspapers of the state are
printing columns about Cullom and
why Illinois needs him in the senate"
Only the first instalIment is oHt and
that consists of several columns.
The entire history of CulIom's public
life is reviewed briefly but with many
details. In explanation of the early ap
pearance of such a document, it is
said:
AT the last session of the legisla.
ture primary election law was passed
by the terms of which the individual
voter. at the primaries to be held next
April. is permitted to register his per
sonal choice for the candidate whom
he desires to have represent Illinois in
the United States senate. The present
primary law secures to the people. by
indirection. a potent voice in the selec
tion of United States senators. In
view of this radical departure from
long established political practice in
augurated by the passage of this law.
it is fitting that a brief sketch should
be submitted to the voters of the state
of the long and useful life of Senator
Cullom."
Nates stump.
1t is anticipated that former Cover
nor Yates will go over the state in a
speaking campaign such as was con-
Quoted by him in his race for the re-
last year. Whether Sena-
tor Cullom expects to fight him with
the same brand of fire or whether he |
will depend upon the service of his
press bureau and the federal patroA-
age is not known.
Workers Are Out.
While there have been no startling
within the last week in
the congressional situation in this dis
trict the workers are out. The harvest
is great and in this case there seems to
he an abundance of laborers. They are
scattered all through the county and
the indications are that the campaign |
will be a long one as the governor has |
not yet called the election, and nothing |
has been learned yet as To when Ike |
will call it or upon what date it will |
be set.
Aliens recent announcement that he |
has made no promise with reference to |
he Rock Island pOstofiice, puts things |
in a new light here as it had been sup |
posed for some time that the bonds |

Emphasis on Deaconess Work.
During this pastorate the church has
laid great stress upon the Importance
of Deaconess work. The fact that Pas
tor Lowe is the chairman of the Confer

part account for this activity. Within

church have graduated in training
schools, Miss Hanson at Washington
and Miss Belle Robertson at Boston.
Miss Margaret Robertson is an under
