This banquet was given exclusively
for Dunno men. and other democrats
we're net invited. The occasion was
created for the purpose Of presenting
,he leader of this particular faction
OF tle Democratic party with loving
cup. given by the Democrats VINO
supported him in the recent primary
campaign
It is believed however, that there
was purpose in allowing so long an
interval to elapse between the closing
CT TIE primary campaign and the
holding Of the banquet, which was to
make the occasion come at a more
fitting time for the launching of a
guhernatorial boom.
Make Direct Appeal.
Mr.. Goodwin knocked away the last
block that held the boom from Slid
ing down the ways Other speakers
had touched upon the subject in a
more, or less circumlocutory, but Mr.
Goodwi made the direct appeal
Doubtless" said he. there are
many men in Illinois, who, if known
to the public and chosen, would fill
the Office GOVERNOR with honor and
credit but there is one man vino
is preeminently of all others known
to have the qualifications required
whose honesty and integrity have
beer admitted by all and whose
splendid achievements and economic
administration are known to all.
For the honor Of Illinois ! propose
the name of Edward F. Dunno for its
Attacks Republican Rule.
Mr. Goodwin said Illinois has been
an object OF public shame for four.
teen years because Of the RepubiI-
can rule thai each struggle for the
nomination by that party has been
accompanied by brazen traffcking
in officers and each election succeed
ed by a shameless administration OF
the Institutions of the state.
Replying to the euIogies Of his
friends and to their placing of his
name in nomination, as IT were, for.
mer Mayor Dunno admitted that the
election Of o Democratic governas
should be easy in 1912 ana soundea
the keynote Of his own programme.
He said:
The era Of politics for pelf under
Republican auspices is passing The
era of politics for principle under
Democratic auspices has arrived
