Representative of Hon. A. {.

FEW HAVE SUCH CHANCES
Election of Former Vice President
Head of Commonwealth Would
Be Unique in History.

James II. O'Donnell of Bloomington,
a member of the campaign committee
looking after the interests of Hon.
Adlai e. Stevenson in his candidacy
before the democrats of the state for
the nomination for governor, spent to-
dav in Rock Island and Moline. Mr..
O'Donnell is one of the best known
democrats and one of the most expert
epced party workers in the state. He
saws he has canvassed Illinois pretty
thoroughly and finds that everywhere
the candidacy of Mr.. Stevenson has
stirred up great enthusiasm. Mr.. Ste
venson is regarded as close to Bryan,
and this endears him to the rank and
file of the party.
Man of Highest Standing.
The democrats generally regard
themselves as fortunate in having g
man of General Stevenson's standing
in the field for the gubernatorial chair
II isn't every state that has the oppor
tunity to elect a former vice presiden
of the United States as head of the
commonwealth
Mr.. Stevenson was brought into th'
race only through the opportunities o
his friends, but having once entered
the contest, he feels that he shoult
have the endorsement of the party.

of our criminal laws. The fault that
exists in our present administration
of justice and that sooner or later is
certain TO rise and trouble us, and to
call for popular condemnation and re-
form is in the unequal burden which
delays and the expense of litigation
under our system imposes on the poor

Procedure Too Cumbersome.
One remedy, Taft said, must be re-
form in our judicial procedure which
is how too cumbersome. Another
would be more expedition on the part
of Judges in rendering their opinions.
Taft closed with a tribute to the legal
profession and cautioned that con
