teenan should be referred to the Re-
publicans Of this State. This can be
done in the following manner:
| will forward to the Secretary OF
State petition asking that my name
be placed upon the official state ballot
as cannidate for delegate at large to
the Republican National Convention;
and hereby urge Mr.. West and any
others who may aspire to the position
of National Committeeman to do like
wise and so announce themselves.
Then let the vote on the several can
d idates for delegates to the National
Convention be considered as advisory
to the State delegation in the matter
of their selection of member of the
National Committee, it being under
stood that the candidate for National
Committeeman who receives the high
est number of votes for delegate at
large shall be considered the choice of
the rank and file of the party.
This would in no way take from the
delegation the right to make choice,
but merely allow an advisory vote as
was done in the nomination of cadidates
I or united States Senator before law
was enacted providitg for their direct
election BY the people.
! agree TO accept such verdict as
binding upon me, and will not be can
didate for National Committeeman
should any one who has announced
himself, or shall announce himself. as
a candidate for National Committeeman
receive more votes than receive, and
! will cheerfully support the choice ex-
pressed By the people.
Believing that the Republicans of
Illinois would Selcome an opportunity
10 cast direct vote for the office Re-
publican National Committeeman, and
thereby assist Ia promoting party har-
mony 10 this State therefore take
this position. in order that the follow
ing purposes may thereby be accom-
plished:
l. That party strife may not endan-
ger the likelihood Of solid delegation
from Illinois in the National Conyen-
ton for President of the United States
2. That tse Republican voters of
this State may have an opportunity TO
record direct vote upon the position
Of Republican National Committeeman
from Illinois.
3. That after the entire Republican
ticket shall have been nominated, COM
plete harmony shall prevail In the Re-

TAKING LABoR.-Every propO-
sition except one to do something to
improve social and economic condi-
lions involves the raising of revenue
by taxing labor more. 1t is time the
people should all know this.
Every improvement that is really
an improvement is paid for by the
men, women and children that work
for a living, and whatever financial
benefit results is reaped by those who
produce nothing, but live upon I'M
earned wealth.
Those who live by working get no
financial benefit from public improve
ments, but reap higher living eX-
penses and lower wages. This situa-
ton is inevitable under present con-
ditions. There are but two sources
of public revenue. One is to tax Ia
Dor, and the other is to make mOnOp-
oily pay all public expenses. If we tax
monopoly and exempt labor the tolls
of monopoly will decrease and the
wages of labor will increase.
Short-sighted philanthrOpists and
long-headed monopOlists are now
planning to tax labor some more in
Cook county for the purchase and
reservation of the natural forests in
the county. This is a plain robbery
Of labor for the benefit of land own
ers and land spectators. This is but
a small fraction of the millions that
are being loaded upon the shoulders
of labor in Cook county. Those who
labor should awake. Will The Day
Book assist in warning them of their
danger?-George v. Wells.

LITHUANIA.-Many have been the
calls for help and many were the
generous ones who replied by NUM-
ficently emptying their more or less
full pockets.
But, as 1 have observed, one call,
less loud, was heard by very, very
few. 1t was that of the Lithuanians,
a race Of people, a nation, made even
more destitute and miserable than
even the Belgians or the Poles. They
have been wronged, exceedingly, by
both the allies and the central pow
ers. The Virility of the nation, the
providers, are forced to fight their
own blood; relative against relative,
brother against brother, all to satisfy
the lust of those who seemingly have
lost their reason. The women are
polluted. What else, only heaven
knows.
The aged ones, the few surviving
ones, look about them, and find the
spot of their habitation. Ruin! de-
bris! even worse! No place for shell
ter. Only ashes scattered about. Not
even thought of finding something
to eat. No trees, grass, or even
weeds. The ground plOwed, harrow
ed, at places dented with holes, all by
shrapnel or other cannon shot. The
country all RACED. What a sight to
behold!
