IS TO CORRUPT LEGISLATORS.

There are no questions between
the corporations and the people that
cannot be adjusted and settled be
tween the corporations and the peo-
pie. The one thing that has done
more than all others to arouse preju-
dice III the public mind is the fact
that corporate wealth has been the
prey of corrupt Legislation.
Every time a corrupt legislature
makes illegal exactious from a cor
poration the money has to come out
Of the pockets either Of the en-
ployes Of the corporation or the pub
lie.
There is no disaster pending
against the state of Illinois but the
disaster of forgetfUIness, and no re-
form advocated, no platform promul-
gated, should be allowed to raise any
false issue that viii in any way keep
the election of November, 1912, in
Illinois, from being a clear-cut issue.
and from resulting in a decisive
declaration that the people Of ILL
nois unqualifiedIy condemn the con-
spiracy of public officials that has dis
graced the state and made the high
est Office within its gift the subject
of repeated Investigations and con
tinued debate among people every

To INDIVIDUAL VOTERS.

az announced myself as candi-
date for the republican nomination
for governor of Illinois, and l make
this announcement TO the individual
republican voters of the state be-
cause the duty devolves upon you,
under the direct primary law, to Sc
lect the candidate" said Mr.. Way
man in the brochure announcing his
candidacy, which was mailed yes
terday to the voters of the state.
Mr.. Wayman's announcement was
not unexpected. He is not affiliated
with any of the defined factions in
the republican party, for he is oppos-
ed to Governor Deneen and conse-
quently cannot expect to receive the
support of the so-called progressive
wing; in fact, his candidacy is con-
sidered by that faction as another
stumbling block in its way.

NOT WITH FEDERAL CROWD.

He cannot be connected with the
federal crowd" in any way. 1t is
safe to say, however, that Mr.. Way
man Will receive the same support
in his campaign for the guberna-
torial nomination that he received
when he was candidate for states
attorney. Further than that it is not
known that he has any backing. His
friends say that finances will not en-
barrass him in the forthcoming cam
paign. The Wayman platform is as
follows:
The republican party never invit-
ed the corruption that has disgTaced
the fair name of Illinois, and the re-
publican party will not tolerate that
corruption, now that it has been ex
posed.
NO state can survive where the
legislative department is corrupt,
and where the public faith is turned
to merchandise and the public credit
TO private gain.
