SULIIVAN'S CAMPAIGN
ISSUED A STATEMENT
That Fairly Sizzles With Sarcasm
and Poignant Humor on
IN the Situation.

II Springfield, H., July l7.---Accord-
ing to Joseph NJ. Page, editor Jer-
SEVILLE Democrat, Jerseyville. down.
state campaign manager for Roger
Y c. Sullivan, Governor Duane and
Il Senator Lewis would have shown
more consideration for downstate
Democrats by giving them more jobs
than by writing endorsements of
Lawrence B. Stringer.
Mr.. Page issued signed state
ment Thursday, fairly sizzling VIII
I sarcasm, but. withal, there is SO
much humor in it that the sting Is
sugar coated.
III He declares that July fifteenth
4hwas q great day in history in tha:
SFit witnessed the abdication of HUI
tVerta and the assumption of the die
Il tator's rule by DGnne, Lewis and
Harrison.
n He recites that in 1904 Bryan de-
\ noumced Stringer as the beneficiary
tlof "the train robber convention"
land adv ised Democrats to bolt him.
He thinks it scant wonder that
sGovernor Dunne went into his "cy-
clone cellar" TO eoneoet such a doc
+ ament, or tnat Carter Harrison
4 should have fled to the Michigan
woods.
| Mr.. Pages Statement,
I In fact, MI. Pages statement is as
Y Follows
As one of the gentlemen who is
looking after the interests of Hon.
BIGGER c. Sullivan. dowrstate, I have
been asked what | thought of the
recent action of Governor Dunno,
n senator Lewis and Mayor Harrison
lin endorsing Mr.. Stringer for SEN
htor. History often repeats itself.
MI Many years ago three tailors be-
|sieving the country was going to the
Il sslemnition bow-wows, met in Tooley
| street London. and after great de-
Iteration and prayerful considera-
ion, resolved, first, the people
| Should rule. Second. we are the peo-
BILE.
|B8 We now sec three political tailors
E Equally determined to tell the people
i Df Illinois that they are not able to
themselves, and by reason of
|SAhe hign office they hold by tho
|$lyrace of these people. they attempt

1f this state when no rent was Wis
BILE.
E8 / have the warmest regard for
n Mr.. Stringer and he has been my
personal friend for twenty years, hut
let us analyze the situation. A GER
Esain convention was held in this
fity, Springfield, in 1901, dubbed by
she Hon. William ]. Bryan as "a
srain robber convention" and Ut that
ime Mr.. Stringer was nominated by
khe Democrats as a candidate for
,overnor, largely. so Mr.. Bryan said
through the influence of one Roger
b. Sullivan.
MI Advised Bolt From Stringer.
MI The history of that convention Is
well known to the people of this
state, and so incensed was Mr.. Bryan
ht the acts of the chairman of that
Convention, by his so-called 'gavel
| Eule' that he refused to come to this
ltate and speak for Mr.. Stringcr
Blaming he was the recipient oi
Stolen goods therefor, not the man
| Ehe Democrats should elect. He also
IElaimed that MIR. Stringer had adopt.
. I'D the same kind of tactics wher
he presided over the 1902 convention
Hand also msed the gavel wrongfulll
through the influence of Mr.. SGlli
Iakan, whose friendship for Mr.. Strin
IgEser was we'll known, and now tt
II hink that tnesa three men shoult
Shndorse a man for senator whom
}lMr. Bryan refused to support afte'
HE was the regular nominee of tn,
Democratic party, an6 the man Mr.
zS}ryan stated in his paper, the Com
all Democrats should bolt
hnd In TACT. through that paper, alb
solved all who did bolt, is just ter
5lible.
How About the Appointments.
