the Public Records of
Republicans.
THREE GOOD SPEECHES.
Duffy Goes After Lem Davis

The Democratic County campaign
was formally opened Thursday night
with three red-hot speeches at the
courthouse, to an audience of 500
Voters
w. A. Wilgus was chairman of the
meeting and first introduced w.
Herman Southall, the nominee for
representative, who made strong
speech. severely arraigning the Re-
publican ticket and the Republican
party as an organization.
He was followed by j. Walter
Knight, nominee for county judge,
who made an aggressive attack on
his opponent, Judge c. o. Prowse.
He charged that his card claiming
to be law and order candidate was
q piece of vain-glorious boastfulness,
not borne out by the facts. That ne
was as much an exponent of law and
order as Judge Prowse and if elect
ed he would stand for law at all
times, would go to the limit of his
authority in upbolding the law and
would call upon the State for help if
the county was unable to maintain
order itself. He said the claim that
the Republican party stood for law

out giving the voters chance to
say whom they wanted. His speech
was loudly and frequently applauded.
The last speech was m9de by
County Attorney John c. Duffy and
he handled the enemywithout gloves
and went after some Of them in his
most vigorous style.
He boldly charged l.. r. Davis, the
candidate for sheriff, with misappro-
priating the public funds received
by him while sheriff from the penal
ties on delinquent taxes and said he
had redeemed the promise he made
to recover this money into the
treasury. That Davis had paid $40
for the last year without appeal,
! but had resisted the payment of
$4,000 for the former years of his
term until the case had been carried
to the Court of Appeals and won
there. In all he had recovered SIS, 900
from Davis and his predecessor and
would have secured more, but for
the statute of limitation. He had
stopped the practice for all time Of
depriving the county of its own
penalties.
Mr.. Duffy said that this suit was
one of eight important ones involv-
ing public rights and he had won all
but one of them for the people
He criticised the sale of the work

when Sheriff L. r. Davis bought
from the Fiscal Court for $4,000

Vernon stood by his desk. arranging
complacently the documents Miss
Greene had given him. Once or twice
he cleared his throat and wiped his
lips with his handkerchief. The other
senators subsidized into their seats.
and, seeing that they themselves were
not then to be permitted to speak, and
like all speakers. not caring to listen
to the speeches OF others. they turned
philosophically to the little diversions
with which they whiled away the
hours OF the session-writing letters,
reading newspapers. smoking. Yer
non glanced around. Maria Greene
was sitting precariously on the edge
OF divan. Her face was white and
drawn She gave a quick nod, and a
smile Just touched her fixed lips. And
then Vernon began. He spoke slowly
and with vast deIiberation; his voice
was very low. He outlined his sub
ject with exquisite pains. detail by
detail. making 1t clear Just what prop
ositions he would advance. His man
ner was that of the lawyer In an ap-
pellate court, making a mastery and
purely legal argument; when It was
done. the senate, II 1t had paid atten-
tion-though it seldom did pay atten-
tion-would know all about the ques-
tion of woman-suffrage.
In his deliberation, Vernon glanced
now and then at Maria Greene. Her
eyes were sparkling with intelligent
interest. AS If to choose the lowest
point possible from which to trace the
rise and progress of Legislation favor
able to women, Vernon would call the
attention of the senate first to the de-
cision OF the Illinois supreme court In
re Bradwell, 55 ILL.,, 525. That was
away back in 1869. when the age was
virtually dark; and that was the case,
gentlemen would remember, Just as II
they all kept each decision of the
court at their tongues ends, In which
the court held that no woman could be
admitted, under the laws of Illinois, to
practice as an attorney at law. But
and Vernon implored his colleagues to
mark-long years afterward. the court
of its own motion entered nunc pro
tune order, reversing its own decision
in the Bradwell case. Vernon dilated

LIGHT BOOZE
Do You Drink it7

A minister's wife had quite tussle
with coffee and her experience is in
teresting. She says:
During the two years of nay train
ing as a nurse, while on night duty, I
became addicted to coffee drinking. Be-
tween midnight and four in the morn
ing, when the patients were asleep,
there was little to do except make the
rounds, and it was quite natural that
should want a good, hot cup of cof
fee about that time. 1t stimulated me
and i could keep awake better.
after three or four years Of coffee
drinking l became nervous wreck
and thought that 1 simply could not
live without my coffee. All this time
was subject to frequent bilious at.
tacks, sometimes so severe as to keep
me in bed for several days.
after being married, Husband
begged me to leave off coffee for he
feared that 1t had already hurt me
almost beyond repair. so resolved to
make an effort to release myself from
the hurtful habit.
II began taking Postum, and for a
few days felt the languid, tired feeling
from the lack of the stimulant, but I
liked the taste of Postum and that
answered for the breakfast beverage

ed and had steadier nerves. After q
years use OF Postum l now feel like a

"Thls Recognition Of Her Equality Can.

upon the Importance of this decision;
he extolled the court; it had set white
milestone to mark the progressing
emancipation of the race. Then.
briefly, he proposed to outline for them
right to equality with man had been
at least partly recognized.
He fumbled for moment among
the papers on his desk. until he found
one of the pamphlets Miss Greene had
given him, and then he said he wished
to call the senate's attention to the
employment act of 1879, the drainage
act of 1885, and the sanitary district
act of 1890. Vernon spoke quite fa-
miliarly of these acts. Furthermore,
gentlemen would, he was sure, instant
ly recall the decisions of the courts in
which those acts were under review,
as. for instance. in Wilson VS.. Board
Of Trustees, 1873 Ill. 443 and in Daven-
port VS.. Drainage Commissioners. 25
Ill. App. 92.
Those among the senators who were
lawyers, as most of them were. looked
up from their letter writing at this.
and nodded profoundly, in order to
show their familiarity with Vernon's
citations. although, of course, they
never had heard of the cases before.
This recognition of woman's nat
ural right" Vernon shouted, this rec
ognition of her equality with man. can
not be overestimated in importance!
He shook his head flercely and struck
his desk with his fist But then, hav-
ing used up all the facts he had marked
in Miss Greene's pamphlets, he was
forced to become more general in his
remarks. and so he began to celebrate
woman, ecstatically. He conjured for
the senators the presence of their
mothers and sisters. their sweethearts
and wives; and then. some quotations
fortunately occurring to him, he re-
minded them that Castiglione had tru-
ly said that God is seen only through
women" that "the woman's soul lead
