BY CARL SANDBURG

If voters inside Chicago had their
way Joseph F. Connery would be're-
elected county recorder. Straight
tickets from the country districts,
villages and truck farms, however,
cut down Connery's city majority. So
Joseph Hass, by 1O,O29 majority, the
next four years will run the county
recorders Office.
The lead handed ConneTy in the
city came from people who know him
and what he has done. He has filled
this particular Office with brains, per-
sonality and loyal public service.
Under his operation of the office Chi
cago in degree woke up to what the
Office of recorder means, what pc
cuIiar private business interests there
are that try to feed off it and how
much service it can render that's
wanted.
From Connery came the first ex-
pOsUre Of what a fine office the
county recorder is for the big Chi
cago Title & Trust Co. to have a
stool pigeon IN. In COnnery'S cam
paign it was notable he had the Chi
cago Title & Trust Co. and all it's
political agencies, from Abel Davis
and Walter Fisher to Roy o. West
and the Daily News, against him.
The Day Book, Journal, Herald,
Tribune and Hearst papers were for
Cohnery. The Cook County Real
Estate board and the Torrens Land
Title Registration league were for
him. He had nearly everything with
him except the Chicago Title & Trust
Co., the Daily News and the truck
farmers who work themselves and
their children twelve hours a day and
vote their tickets straight. In the
city-where they knew Joe Connery
he got votes.
No lament is due Joe Connery. AS
noted before, he has brains and per-
sonality. Banks and corporations

him and he can step into any one
Of several fat jobs any time he says
the word
In technical business requirements
the Office is harder to handle than
any in the county government. Under
Connery its profits more than
doubled, Torrens registrations came
by thousands instead of hundreds,
and it was advertised that here is a
pubicly-owned abstract writing plant
that can do cheaper and better work
than the private title companies.
The smell Of politics and chair
warmers was absent from the office.
Courtesy and rapid transaction Of
business became the regular and eX-.
pected thing. In the best cOnnOta-
ton of the word business" COnnery
was one real business man in Office,
an organizer.
If Joe Haas, elected by the truck
farmers who voted Straight tickets,
now goes ahead and gives Cook
county an administration Of service,
he will make many friends.
At the first signs that the Chicago
Title & Trust Co. is again inside the
county recorders Office trying to
strange, the Torrens system it is a
safe prediction there will be trouble.
This because a mass of people have
come to see that the recorders Office
should be a public service station and
not private annex for the Chicago
Title & Trust Co.

sanitarium in California, suffering
from a nervous breakdown. Besides
being one Of the leading educators of
the state, she was an active worker
IN the suffrage campaign and in re-
ply to greetings sent her by COM
mittee of her co-workers at the last
meeting of the Good Government or
CARNATIONS, she responded in her
happy manner:
"And something more intimate
and affectionate if it were consistent
with this 'official acknowledgment
of your happy and kindly remem-
brance of me.
~ thought Of you all at your an
nual meeting, Of your happy and
busy activity and longed to be with
you and it was good to know that you,
too, thought of me. Some things are
too. deep for felictious phrases, and
perhaps what I would say to you is
one of them: but you will believe me

Montana's citizens.

may I sometime be so happy as to

On it's way to good end.''
