The Republican party OF ILLINOIS,
which is seeking to come back,
represents the only opposition in the
general assembly to the initiative
and referendum resolution, the par
amount issue in the Democratic
campaign. 1t is going to be hard
for the G. o. p. in Illinois to coma
back" under normal conditions, but
If it's members persist In trying TO
stifie the will of the people in the
initiative and referendum resoiu-
tion and other important matters, it
will he many day befo re 1T re-
turns to power. The resolution was
defeated two years ago by the Re.
publicans and with nearly half
million Illinois citizens demanding
the submission of this amendment,
we would judge that the party is not
making any friends by persistently
fighting the proposition.

Ii is announced that Democratic

Lorimer for United States senator.

iice by President Wilson. Members
Of the presidents Cabinet have
caused this information to be com
inundated to several OF the Illino :
congressman for the guidance Of the
Illinois leaders in recommending
candidates for appointment by the
president. Any Democrat who VIC
lated the primary instruction for

sideration from the president, nor il
anybody else who has been guilty OF
voting for the "brazen" boss The
so-called Democratic members of the
legislature who voted for him are
not Democrats. They disqualified as
members of the party when they
cast their ballots, therefore, it nat
urally follows that they are not en-
titled to Democratic jobs.
