Harry Woods Of Chicago. democrat
ic candidate for secretary of state.
came to Rock Island last night from
Biggsville, Henderson county, where
he spoke yesterday at the Harvest
Home picnic, and spent today in Rock
Island and Moline, meeting as many
citizens as he could in the short space
of time allotted him. Mr.. Woods is an
aggressive campaigner and makes a
favorable impression wherever he
goes. He has never held a public Of
fee, although he has been prominent
in the politics of Chicago for many
years. He was born in Canada in
1863 and came 10 Illinois with his
mother in 1877 at the age of IA. He
was called on by necessity to aid in
the support of his mother and found
employment as a messenger. His rise
in the commercial world has been
like most of our American self-made
men, gradual but certain.
In 1890 he embarked in the grain
trade and remains in it to the pres
cnt day and the interest taken in his
candidacy by his fellow members both
in the Illinois and National Grain
Dealers association bespeaks his
popularity and the esteem in which he
is held by his associates in the grain
trade. Throughout the state many
farmers are rallying TO his support
as his business has brought him in
close touch with them.
In the primaries Mr. Woods car
ried rs out of 1O1 counties in the
state.
