TO BOW-WOWS
View of Governor Deneen, Elk
pressed in an Attack on
His Enemies.
CORRUPTION RULES BOOST
Executive Pictures Himself as Cham.
pion of Popular Government
Against the Gang"

Taylorville, ILL.,, Aug. Ex-Governor
Deneen threw down the gauntlet to the
corruptionists in the 46th general as
sembly in speech which he delivered
here last night. He asserted bluntIy
that representative government, in tbs
hands of this legislature, had given
place to Jack pot legislation, and
charged that corrupt politicians had
elected William Lorimer to the United
States senate in order that he (the
governor) might be supplanted by an
executive more plant to the wishes
of the men higher up
incidentally Governor Deneen took a
side swipe at States Attorney Way
man of Cook county, in whose behalf
1000 dead men were said to have been
voted in recent primary election in
the Ninth ward of Chicago.
Want to Get Rid of Him.
Governor Deneen, after defining
Jack pot" legislature as. group of
men held together by the cohesive
power of public plumber" for the man
ipulation Of bills, declared that the at
tempts made to have him enter the
contest for United States senator were
prompted by desire to remove his in
f1uence from Illinois politics.
''This coalition, in its last desperate
stand against popular government, he
said, deemed it necessary to control
the policies of the state in order to
prolong its power, and l. whom they
had villified, through their spurious in
vestigation, whom they had opposed
with vituperative rancor at the primar-
les, whom they had sought to defeat in
the election by arraying against me
the special interests from which they
derive their strength; whose policies
they had organized the Legislature to
defeat and whom they attempted to
unseat by a trumped-up contest, was
offered their support for the United
States senatorship, an Office of high
honor when honorably bestowed.

Jack Pot is His Theme.

In the course of his analysis of the
proceedings of the legislature, the
governor continually employed the
term Jack pot" to characterize the cor
ruptionists' fund and he showed how
the use of this fund had frustrated at
every turn the effort to put through
needed legislative reforms. After call
ing attention to two unusual features
of the assembly, namely, its bl-parti-
san organization, which has "professed
no principles, announced no policies,
and was pledged to the carrying out or
no legislative program and to the
election of William Lorimer by this
coalition, Mr.. Deneen continued:
1.-The third unusual feature Of this
general assembly was the disclosure
of the Jack pot, through the confes-
sion of a number of It's amendments
and the Indictment of four others.
situation Unusual.
"These are the factors which make
the present unusual political situ1,io1
in this state l shall discus, first the
jack pot. or common corruption fund,
because of the important relation
which. in my judgment, it bears to the
other unusual features of our present
political situation.
THE jack pot is a common corrup-
ton fund gathered from various
sources during a legislative session,
to be distributed afterward among

MASS MEETING.

A mass meeting was hold at the
Opera House Thursday night to
talk High School, special tax, and
Gen. j. B. Levert'e offer of site
for the proposed High School.
The weather was bad and cold,
and for these reasons the atten.
dance was not as large as it should
have been.
Supt. Favrot opened the meet
ing by calling upon Hon. r. Mar
tin. to read the offer OF Gen. L.
vert, after which he made a strong
plea in favor Of the school and OK
pressed the belief that not ono
vote would be recorded against
the small tax which is proposed.
Supt. Favrot made a short adj
dress giving conditions as they ex-
ist at the present time in our high
schaol and they are strong reasons
why our people should vote the
tax and have a new High school
building ready for the next term.
DIR. Alex. B. Coffey, of the Lou
isiana State University of Baton
Rouge, gave us a very interesting
talk upon the need and the kind of
education our children needed
and the facilities We should give
them to acquire this education.
He showed how q man who
smoked one cigar a day for one
month smoked enough to pay bis
tax on an assessment of $500 for
one year.
A committee on resolutions COM
posed of Messrs. I. j. Liable,
Jas. j. Martin and E. A. Davis
was appointed and reported as
follows:
Whereas, The Honorable j. B. Lsvert
has come forward and offered US. the
people of st. Martinyille, the handsome
sum of Eight Thousand Dollars. for the
purpose of purchasing suitable site on
which to locate large and adequate
brick school building, provided the peO-
pie of st. Martinville and Of the sur
rounding country should vote q tax for
the erection and construction Of same.
Therefore, Be it Resolved. That We. the
people of st. Martinville, in mass meet
ting assembled. do hereby express to Hon.
j. b. Levert our heartfelt gratitude for
his valued offer Of a donation. and do
deeply appreciate the interest that he
has always shown In popular education,
as recognized in this and many other
valuable contributions to the cause of
popular education in this parish.
Resolved, further. That we pledge our
selves to exert our every effort to meet
the conditions laid down in this offer,
to the end that our children may receive
the full benefit of this benefactiOn, aud
that our community may possess this
noble monument to nObler cause.
Resolved. finally. That the chairman Of

copy Uf these resolutions to Hon. j. B.
