Democratic Stale Chairmen Conf.
dent OF ]. Hams Election at
Polls in November.

Springfield, Ill, Oct 17.-"They
haven't a leg to stand on and we
have 'em licked to a finish"
1t was Ernest Hoover, chairman
OF the Democratic state central
committee, speaking in Springfield
to a group of friends yesterday rel
ative to the candidacy of United
States Senator James Hamilton
Lewis for reelection.
Hoover lives in Taylorville. Iii
in normal times, but will take up
his abode today in Chicago and re
main right on the job in the Demo
cratic state headquarters in the
sherman hotel until the victory is
won in November for all of the win
-war-with-W Wilson candidates.
Chairman Hoover is bubblIng
over with enthusiasm about the
prospects of victory this fall. In
cident to his discussion of the cam
paign and the prospects. he an
nounced that Senator Lewis would
make a number of speeches in hi
nOis. outside of Chicago, but that
owing TO the limited time Of the
campaign after the close of the Lib
erty bond drive, Oct 10, the senator
could not appear at more than half
a dozen dOwn-state meetings.
Fortunately for Springfield. one
of those meetings will be here and
at night, probably along about the
night of Oct. %. A meeting has
been planned for the night of Oct.
% for cambridge Colby. but in all
probability the latter date will be
changed.
Senator Lewis has such limited
time down-state, and must spend
the final week of the campaign in
Chicago. so his appearance IN
Springfield will have to be on the
date which is set by the state cen
trail committee. This committee
will arrange the itinerary, giving
Lewis the right of way over all To-
cal meetings. Chairman Hoover
said definite announcement Of the
date that Senator Lewis would
come to Springfield would be made
just as soon as possible.
Turning again to the campaign,
Chairman Hoover declared he felt
absolutely positive that Senator
Lewis "OuIu VIII J." W IL ~
