"Thus it will be seen that the

of one political party assisting in
making the nominations for any
other political party, and in an
other place provides a very Sc

voter must have been a member

whose ballot he votes, and must
not have signed a nomination pa

party. In short, if you would be
in the clear and certain to avoid
penalties, stick to your own party
ballot in the primaries.
1t is not a question of what
the voter intends to be from now

past, and inaSmuch as there is
no independent party ticket this

BOTH SIDES REST
IN BROWNIES TRIAL
Link and Beckemeyer Tell Of
Receiving Bride Money.

The state rested in the case Of Lee
O'Neil Brownies trial at Chicago on
the charge of bribing certain Illinois
legislators to vote for William Lorimer
for senator.
The last two witnesses called for
by States Attorney Wayman were
State Senator Isley and Mollie Vande-
veer. lsley, however. was not allowed
to continue his testimony.
Representative Beckemeyer, who on
the stand swore that Browne had paid
him $1,000 for his Lorimer vote with
out any previous promise, took the
stand at the opening of court for cross
examination.
At the conclusion Of Beckemeyers
testimony Mr. iYayman asked Judge
McSurely to call Representative Mich
ael s. Link to the witness stand. The
court did so over strenuous objections
by the defense
In the NEST dramatic session of the
trial, SON etimes on Il e verge of tears
sometimes throwing the court and tie
jury into laughter, Link told that
he had voted for Lorin or and received
$1,000 from Browne. lie elated the de-
tense by sayiag no money had been
promised him for lis vote and no ex-
PLANTATION made when it was PAID.
Under grilling cross-examination
by the defense Link nearly broke
down. lis description Of torture in
the sweattox, which was drawn from
him by Attorney Erbstein, was hailed
by the defense as a victory.
did you not break down in the
states attorneys office and say you
would swear tC anything if you could
only set out and see your wife?"
shouted Erbste Yes gasped Link.
"And didn't Mr. Wayman say you
would have to choose between your
wife and the penitentiary?"
"Yes," said Link, his voice husky
and his eyes wet.
"And didn't Wayman say the in
dictment would be quashed if you
went before the jury and told them
the story you have told here?" yes"
said Link, who admitted also that
after he had told the story about get
ting money the perjury indictment had
been withdrawn.
When the Browne trial was resumed
Monday counsel for the defendant ask
ed the court to take the case from the
jury and order verdict of not guilty.
This Judge McSurely refused to do.
Representative White was then re-
called to the witness stand for further
cross-examination.
Several witnesses for the defense ac-
companied Browne and his three law
yers to the court room. George A.
Gloss, motorman on the Ogden ave-
nue. line was one of them. Gloss had
several conversations with White, and
testified that White told him May %,
1909, that he was going to vote for
Lorimer because the latter was a
friend of street car men.
William Rossell, chairman of the
legislative committee, Chicago FEEDER
alton of Labor, testified to Whites
boasts of expected affluenee.
]. w Doyle, a labor leader, said he
had conversations with White in
Springfield which convinced him that
White was loking for bribes
The defense rested its case.

- HE country church has place
to ill in the rural community
that can be filled by nothing
else. In too many cases the
church has failed to make the most of
its opportunities. Its growth has not
kept pace with the growth Of other
rural institutions.
The country church is too often
mere imitation of the city church.
The church officers and the pastors do
not recognize that rural needs In re-
lgion are as distinctive as rural needs
in education. In the city there Is room
for many churches and many denomina-.
tons. In the country this is not the
case. One church is enough for any
country community, and Il Is large
village that can support more than
one. The curse of denominati0nalism
has been the ruin of religious life In
many rural community. From being
an exponent Of peace the church too
often has become promoter of strife
A spirit of friendly rivalry has devel-
oped many times into bitter fight be-
tween denominations. When churches
