the dry vote must be cast to offset the large wet vote in that
district.
EIGHTH DISTRICT.
Remember that both Fayette S. Munroe and Edward D.
Shurhef should be elected, and the surest way to do this is to
divide the dry vote in such a way as will help most to elect both
of these men. Dry Democrats should vote for either Mr.. Mum
roe or Mr.. Shurtlef, as there is no dry Democrat nominated.
TENTH DISTRICT.
The dry vote should be divided equally between Messrs. Til
ton, Hicks and Atwood.
ELEVENTH DISTRICT.
In this district the Democratic candidates for the senate and
both Democratic candidates for representative are endorsed by
the United Societies. MI. Robson Barron, Progressive, is a cam
didate for reelection. Mr.. Barron made q high-c1ass record and
all antisa1oon voters in the Republican and Democratic parties
should join the Progressives in re-electing hin This will prove
to the politicians that it is safe for a representative to espouse
the moral side of public questions.
TWELFTH DISTRICT.
Our friends should divide their votes equally between Hol-
lister and Thompson, as both have good legislative records.
Mayor Franz has an unsavory record and should be defeated.
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT.
This district is to be congratulated in the defeat of the no
torious K1eeman at the primaries and in the nomination of SO
able a man as John A. Swanson for the senate. This is one of
the districts where a great opportunity has come to it. Elect
Mr.. Swanson to the senate at all hazards. C. A. Young, Re-
publican, and James Ryan, Democrat, are endorsed by the Unit
ed Societies and should both be defeated. The Democrats have
nominated only Ryar, so Democratic voters should go en- masse
to some of the other candidates.
SIXTEENTH DISTRICT.
There is no dry Democratic candidate in this district. Mr..
Foster, one of our best men in the last legislature, was de-
feated in the primary. Only one dry Republican candidate is
in the field, Simon E. Lantz. Chas. H. Cannon, the Progress
sive candidate, is dry, and has a splendid legislative record.
Mr.. Cannon and Mr.. Lantz should have the votes of all the
dry men in the district. The dry Democrats should vote for
these men if they want county option.
NINETEENTH DISTRICT.
James M. Kitleman, r>publican, candidate for the senate,
has had several terms of legislative experience. He was chair
man of the Chicago Charter Committee, and together with Rep
resentative H. L. Sheldon they p1oted the township option bill
through the house. He will make one of the most valuable
members of the senate. His chief opponent is one of the
most obnoxious members of the senate and should be over
whelmingly defeated.
The Omitted Societies" have endorsed all Republican and
Democratic candidates for the house.
TWENTIETH DISTRICT.
The vote should be divided as nearly equal as possible be-
tween w. H. Dunn and r. R. Meents.
TWENTY-FIRST DISTRICT.
JOHN Gruman, Progressive, by his excellent record while a
member of the last legislature, has earned the undivided sup
port for reelection of all good citizens regardless of party.
TWENTY-SECOND DISTRICT.
No dry Democrat has been nominated. The dry vote of
