should and undoubtedly will be elect
ed. Mr.. Wenter is one of the most
capable, reliable and upright public Of.
ficials who ever served the people of
| Chicago. AS u member of the Drain
age Board he has made Il splendid rec
ord, being constant In his attendance
and interchangeable In his work In behalf
of the public and the taxpayers.
His long service on the board has
made him thoroughly acquainted with
the affairs Of the district, and will
make his services invaluable, If not In.
dlspensable now that so many new and
inexperienced men will be included IN
its membership. AS presiding officer
of the board he will be the right man
In the right place. Opposed to jobbery
graft or special privileges of any kind
he will, rs he always has done. act
solely In the interests Of the public and
the taxpayers.
Mr.. Wenter, in addition to being a
model public official and public-spirit
ed citizen, is man who has always
taken keen interest In political az
fairs and is a first-class campaigner
In the present campaign he is letting
no grass grow under his feet, and the
outlook is that he will roll up such q
majority election day as no candidate
for drainage trustee ever received be
fore. He is the first one of the nOmi
nees to really get busy.
He has sent out half a carload OF
campaign literature, personally address
scd to voters. The literature consists
of card of statistics on the history
and management of the drainage wa
tcrway. 1t shows that Mr.. Wentei
was elected n drainage trustee IL
1889, when the district was created
and that he served as president from
1892 to 1895 inclusive. During this
time the board disbursed total OF
Sl4,5OO,0O0. The cost of the canal, ey
Guiding the Chicago river development
was $30,313,0SO Mr.. Wenter threw
the first shovelful Of earth, when work
on the ditch was started. The candi
date, in soliciting the SURFACES of the
voters, calls attention to the fact that
to be elected president of the board he
must also be elected trustee.
The records of the Drainage Board
and the history Of the district and the
great canal, show Mr.. Wenter to be en-
titled to the support Of all good citi
zens, irrespective Of party, as he has
invariably acted for the best interests
Of all the people independent of parti'
san considerations.
