Mr.. Cnrnmins' Record.
Because the electors should know the
caliber OF the man who seeks office at
their hands, Mr.. cummlns opens the book
of his life and shows a clean record Not
anywhere In the entire book does blot
or snirch appear. stephen ii. Cummins
was born on farm, lived the life Of the
farmer. and knows tsrc needs Of the farm
er. Today he owns and operates two
modern farms In sangamon county, and
gives them close attention despite his ex-
tenslve legal practice.
During the twenty-eight years AZ a
lawyer. Mr.. Curnmins has handled rome
OF the largest and most important cases
Of litigation In Illinois legal records. When
the Attorney General OF the State OF fili-
nois needed able assistance he has called
on stephen II. Cummins. No man OF small
ability ever Is called TO such cases De-
spite the wonderful success Mr.. Cummins
has had as a lawyer. at no time has be
hesitated 10 turn from case where a
large fee was forthcoming 70 defend q
man who had little OF the worlds goods.
Mr.. Cunmlns knows the needs OF the
country districts and his knowledge IL
not an academic one. What he knows of
the farmers needs he has gained through
experience on his own farms and through
across-the-fence and elbow-rubbing talks
with his fellow farmers and neighbors.

pretty speech but IL takes a man with
knowledge OF just how tired ono can be
after good days piowing to really know
the farmers problems.
Mr.. Cummins' Republication.
For years Mr.. Cummins has been q
wheelhorse" OF the Republican party in

faitering for defeat. never demanding
praise for victory. IT was his support that
helped elect Lawrence Y. Sherman TO the
senate and Mr.. Sherman has personally
thanked him for his assistance.

the race for congkessman-at-large and
although the dark horse and a late en-
prisng number OF votes. Chicago favors

candidate for they know him to be fair.
If the rural commpnities turn out and
work for this man who is pledged to their
interests Mr.. Cummins can be nominated.
The question of ability does not enter
here for Stephen II. Cummings has gained
his present prestige through ability. A
desire TO serve his country comes natural
