McMURRY ENTERS RACE
FOR COUNTY ATTORNEY.

Walter j. McMurry, one of
the county's leading attorneys
and at present Representative
from the counties of Fulton and
Hickman, authorizes the Courier
to announce his candidacy for the
office of County Attorney, sub
Ject to the action of the Demo-
cratic primary.
1t is needless to launch into
a lengthy eulogy In behalf of
Mr.. McMurry. He is about as
Well known as most any man in
the county, and held in as high
esteem. AS above mentioned
Mac Is at present a member OF
the State Legislature, having

His work in this capacity has
been eminently satisfactory-ex-
cept to the liquor folks. He is
/" bone dry" as regards the Ii
quor question and fought with
the dry forces from start to fin
ish-but We lost by four votes
and only four. He is chairman
of the States Judiciary commit
tee, one of the most important
committees on the list; he is al
so a member of the following
committees-County and City
Courts, Charitable Institutions,
Fish and Game and Retrench-
ment and Reform. His member
ship in these reflect his standing
with the State Legislators, and
his record is one Of which he, as
well as his constituents, may feel
proud. This is the only office
Judge McMurry has ever held
except being for a short time city
judge of the Hickman Police
Court, but he will be remembered
as having made the race several
years ago for County Judge.
All in all, the subject of this
sketch, is a man who will do t.
tie to. Besides possessing all thu
necessary qualifications and abil

Is clean, honest, sensible, every
day sort of fellow. About al
that can be said against him i

but if he will give us a pre-elec
ton pledge, as did Judge Gard

be well. A precedent has bee
established that this office b
filled only by benedicts, but W

Dry Man Named for
Mayor Of Danvile
George F. Rearick Chosen by Foes
of Saloon Believed to Be a
Winner

One OF the best indications that
Danvllc is going dry is the nomina-
ton i'll the Republican primary of
George F. Rearick, an out and out
dry, for Mayor, 500 majority over
the wet candidate, John w. Barger
This could not have happened last
year nor any other year in the his
tory of the city, but the leader OF the
Republican party and many of the
leaders of the Democratic party have
decided 10 repudiatc saloon dictation
and in the nomination of Mr. Rearick,
they have taken their first step in that
direction.
1t is said that many Democrats
went into the Republican primary
and voted for Mr.. Rearick By so
doing, they placed the best interests
sof stiio city zssSoys ne, PARTISAN con.
siderations. The same forces that
nominated Mr.. Rcarick are for a dry
Danvillc, and dry leaders are there
fore jubilant. They believe that Mr..
Rearick's nomination is an augury of
what is going to happen in the April
clcctions-that Danvillc is going dry.

in his practice:
Several months ago." says DR.. Ba-
con, "a woman came to my Office at

will You come over to my house? My
boy was out and they took him to a
saloon and have got him intoxicated

This map shows that most of the
wards are in the downtown districts
In 1911, the old ninth ward on the
west side, which is the smallest in
the city, had only 1920 registered
voters with two wet aldermen. The
largest ward, the twenty-ffth, had
22,0l2 registered voters with two
dry aldermen. In other words, the
wet ward had one councilman for
each 2,160 voters, while the dry ward
had one councilman for each l1,006
voters.
The same disproportion exists in
many other wards of the city, and
gives the vets about double the num-
Der of votes in council that they are
entitled to. The inequality has in
creased since 1912 to such an extent
that today the seventeen wettest
wards have a registered vote of only
256,800 voters as against an aggre-
gate registered vote in the seventeen
driest wards of 524,188.
Affects Legislature

sentative for an average of about
$4,000 voters.
When the Legislature districted the
state, the outlying districts in Cook
county where most of the dry voters
now live were sparsely settled. Since
that time, the people have moved
out into those districts SO that now,
as shown above, they contain the
larger part of the population.
Just how all this affects the power
exerted by the vets in the legisla-
turc and in the city council, may be
seen from the fact that out of So rep
resentativcs in the Lower House of
the Legislature from Cook county, 43
arc classed as out and out vets, eight
of them being saloonkeepers. Out
of over 20 members of the city coun-
Gil so are out and out vets, many
of them engaged in the liquor busi-
ness, and the whole so absolutely
under the control of those interests.
1t is evident that home rule for Chi
cago under the present system OF
districting means rum rule for Chi
cago.
1t is this compact liquor vote from,
Chicago that is trying to defeat the

OF 80 $4,000, according to the last
census, under effective Prohibi-

1T abolishes a vast mail order

country with the idea of Prohibit

The latest great national VIC

not by its effects upon the taker

The Constitutional Convention and the

By State Superintendent

The constitutional convention resolution submitted

of the House for eight weeks 1t shown again when the
tried steal the of dry Senator's and dead
locked the upper house Of the Illinois Legislature for
weeks in the session.
If this question settled before the convention meets
it will in all probability make it impossible get fair and
just consideration of constitution for the The
referendum bill will submit the saloon question the people
in the fall OF 1913 and give them the right settle this ques
tion by the votes of the people OF the entire state
The way take of the constitutional convention and
the time give both sides in the liquor fair
consideration is submit this question the people by
passing House Bill No 73 which will be voted in the
fall of 1918 but will go into effect until the cities and
counties OF the state have had year which readust

of the referendum bill be denied by anyone 1t ought

out OF the constitutional convention.
