Attacked the Last General Assembly
Of the State Which is Now so
Much in the Lime
Light.

TAYLORvILLE, ILL.,, Aug. 81
Governor Deneen opened the legisla-
tive campaign in Taylorville in a
speech directed squarely at legislative
corruption, and in which the executive
minced no words in describing what
he termed the "malfeasance in the
last General Assembly,
The governor was given rousing
demonstration in the evening at the
court house, which was crowded to
capacity. He claimed the attention
OF his hearers from the beginning,
and when he launched directly into
his subject and without reserve scored
the cause Of the legislative scandal,
his remarks were punctuated with
bursts Of applause. His attack upon
the bipartisan combine which the
speaker declared controlled tie forty
sixth general assembly, was vigor-
Gus and led to the declaration that
"the extent of their malfeasance in
the last general assembly is not yet
known but is under investigation by
grand juries and by our courts"
The speaker defined the term Jack
pot which is Hguring in the Browne
trial in Chicago, declaring those who
| have been exposed are not the only
ones implicated. To make a jack
pot effective requires the participa-
ton of considerable number of such

hesiye power of public pIunders and
an organization which must be able
to control to some degree the course

The governor dropped bombshell
when he added: "Manifestly behind
/ the jack pot stands the organization

OF the speaker. The next step for
