Edward II. Lenck. Of 1900 Walnut
street, plans to fly today in his new
hydro .aeroplanc. which he has built
himself and which he tested to his
satisfaction yesterday on the river.
Mir. Lenck was on the water about
ten minutes and went at the rate of
forty miles an hour. He will make
several test flights today and Cairo
people will be- given an opportunity
20 see flights by local man in n
Cairo made machine.
Nj. Lenck is a young man and
runs garage on Sixteenth street,
just west of Walnut. Five years ago
ne saw Eugene Ely hy at Rock ISL
and, and since that time he has
wanted a machine of his own with
which he could soar through the air
and ride on the water as we'll.
He started to work on his machine
February and only recently COM
Ipleted it. He had no regular
"plans" to 20 by. and made the ma
chine from his own knowledge of
mechanics and what he had read Of
airships and hydro-aeroplanes. His
machine is fashiorcd along the lines
Of the Curtiss flying boats. but has
some distinctive features which Mr
Lenck incorporated on his own
Initiative and which are original
with him
He built the air boat" himself
with the aid Of otto Thurman, who
gave him much valuable assistance
and used material purchased In Cairo
for nearly everything. The only
material not purchased here was a
small amount of spruce planking for
the hull which he had shipped from
St. Lcris.
The boat" is 2 feet long with a
three-foot beam, and the wings meas
ure 40 feet from tip to TIP. They
are five feet wide. The machine il
propelled by a Maximotor. The en-.
gine is 125 horse power and a six
cylinder. 1t is more powerful by

Cairo Citizens Hope Chicago Man Will
Be Successful Candidate for
Senator.
FINE QUALITIES FIT
HIM FOR THE PLACE
Business Ability and Grasp of Pub.
lie Affairs His Strong
Points.

Roger Sullivan has come and gone
The most prominent candidate for
nomination on the Democratic ticker
for United States Senator was here
Friday, shook hands with his many
friends, and ended his trip through
Southern Illinois, going back to mis-
home in Chicago Friday night.
Cairo citizens were very favorably
impressed with Mr.. Sullivan. They
had heard of his many fine qualities
and his fitness for the place whihc he
seeks, and their first impression was
all that they had hoped for. Citi-
zens generally express themselves as
hopeful that he will be the man to
get the nomination.
Whether hc wins the nomination
or not, the Democratic party is to
be graduated or giving the peo-
pie an opportunity to vote for such
men as Mr.. Sullivan for this high
office, and the people of Illinois are
to be congratulated on the opportun-
ity they have of selecting such men
to represent them in the upper house
of congress. Mr.. SIlliyan's nOmina
tiOn and election would mean that
this state would take first place in
lawmaking and in legislative infu-
once in the federal government, and
nc would add strength and dignity
to the Senate he would, by reason
of his magnetic personality and the
power waicn he wields az a result Of
his fine mentality, exercise much
needen influence in the way Of sane
lawmdking, and his grasp of public
questions would lead him to tqkn
front rank among tn. really great
men Of the Senate. He is business
man and the Senate needs more bust
ness men and fewer lawy ers.
Mr.. Sullivan has been a prominent
flg.re in the politics OF Illinois for
long term Of years. He has al
ways been ready to champion the
right without counting the cost. and
the people have long locked toward
him as t1c valuable nan to hide
his light under the proverbial bushcl.
He mas heretofore remained too much
in the background If we are to take
into consideration his work for the
good Of all and his value as pub
lie servant, and the people have final
ly insisted that he take up the fight
rs their open leader and not only az
an advisor. They feel that this
honor is not only due him, but that
ne owes the public the duty to take
mp its work where he can Go the
most good and where his talents
and fine mental powers can have tu,l
sway. His record as a consistent and
patriotic Democrat and citizen are
too we'll known to require comment
at this time. 1t suffice to say
merely that to vote for Mr sullivan
will prove that you have the best
interests of your party, yoIr state,
and your nation at heart.
