CAN HEARST COME BACK?
When Hearst came to Chicago
he made a strong play to labor,
and labor gave him a big circuIa-
ton. He agreed not to join the
publishers association.
After he got the circulation he
went. after advertising. When he
got that he joined the publishers
trust.
When his contract with the
pressmen's union expired he
locked out union pressmen, and
now runs non-union pressroom. =
Then the Chicago Federation
of Labor put Hearst and the,

unfair list, where they are today.
Now the Examiner is running

Probably the theory is that
other labor unions will forget the.

But can he come back?
Is he getting ready to give his
publisher pals the high toss?

HAS GOOD WORDS
FOR JUDGE COOKE

The Aledo Times-Record, one OF the
leading republican papers in Mercer
and adjoining counties. has the fol-
lowing TO say Of It's own volition OF
the candidacy OF Judge George A.
Cooke 10 succeed himself as member
OF the Illinois supreme court:
I'm presenting Judge George A
Cooke as a candidate for the demo
cratic nomination 70 the Office OF Judge
Of the supreme court OF Illinois, his
democratic friends in this county
again make Mercer the center Of the
campaign in the Fourth supreme ju-
dicial district Thus far Judge Cooke
has no opposition in either his own
OF the republican party and this con-
dition will likely continue since Judge
Cooke has great strength in his own
party and the district is by many con-
sidered safely democratic.
While Judge Cooke passed most OF
his boyhood in Aledo, he was born
near New Athens, Ohio. Being left
an orphan, he was sent 10 Illinois to
live with relatives, and although with
out means, he worked his way through
the Aledo high school and Knox col
lege. After receiving his degree from
the latter institution, he entered the
Office OF Pepper & Scott in this city
70 read law. and soon after his ad-
mission 70 the Illinois bar in 1895, he
practiced law in this city until his
election to the supreme bench in 1909.
During the years of his active prac-
tive Judge Cooke proved himself one
OF the most able lawyers in the state.
He is a self made man and is pos.
sessed of those rugged qualities pc.
culiar 10 such men. AS a candidate
for denomination, Judge Cooke stands
on his record as a member OF the
present supreme court. He has writ
ten opinions in some OF the largest
cases before the court and his inter
probation OF the law has revealed a
fine judicial mind.
The facts are, Judge Cooke has
made good. His work on the bench
has been satisfactory 10 his associates
and 10 the bar Of the district Repub
licans admit he is as strong with the
voters at the present time as he was
at the time OF his last campaign, anc
his democratic friends insist he il
much more popular. There is another
element that tends to make republi
can members OF the bar slow 70 entel
the race: in this state there is a wei
established precedent to return to the
bench a judge who is giving satisfac
ton"

HE HOLDS PROOF

Washington, Jan. 27.-In a state
ment published today concerning
Governor Wilson, denial that Colonel
Watterson had any authority to raise
money for Wilson's campaign, Wat
terson today declared he can produce
proofs to Senator Tillman or others
that he not only had such authority,
but actually raised a considerable
sum. Watterson offers to submit
these proofs to committee named by
himself and Wilson. The name Of
Tillman was brought into the con-
troversy through letter from the
senator in which Watterson is accus-
ed of concealing the real cause Of the
break between Watterson, Harvey
and Wilson. Concerning Watterson's
statement Tillman today said: eff

says he ought to publish them. I've

not know what the people of Chicago
think about that brand of politics,

the facts, they will be disposed to
regard it very much as / do, viz:
that any organization which under

itself open to the charge of conduct

litical crimes. Democrats Of the
