the McGraw building. one OF the 80
candidates for the IL nominations for
the legislature on the Republican tick.

among the candidates who were not In
the house last session. He figures
that as 10 of the IL representatives
were landed by means of the slate
last time, and eight of the ten are an
the race this year, there Is apt to be
some sort OF cohesion which will make
IL harder for outsiders to break In.
There are just % candidates who were
not in the house last term, or two for
every position on the slate. Several
candidates, however, have concluded
to go IL alone"
