Edward D. Shurtleff, speaker of the
Illinois House in three sessions and
the recognized floor leader of the dry
forces since he retired from the
speakership, is out in the open for the
reelection of Speaker David E. Shan
ahan.
In letter transmitted yesterday
to F. Scott Mcbride, State Superin-
tendent of the Illinois Anti-Saloon
League. Mr., Shurtleff gives his rea-
sons for opposing strenuously the
policy of the League in its attempt to
elect speaker on the single wet and
dry issue. Mr.. Shurtleff also criti-
cizes the manner in which Governor
Lowden has become involved in the
speakership situation.
Letter by Shurtleff
Mr.. Shurtleff's letter, that elimi-
mates him personally as a speakership
candidate, in part says:
II wrote you that | thought the
resolutions passed at the national
convention in Ohio and promulgated
to the members of the House in this
state--that the Republican caucus
should organize by electing a dry
candidate for speaker-was a mistake,
and base this upon my analysis of
the situation. 1t injects the wet and
dry issue into the Republican caucus.
If successful, it is a success based
upon controlling the caucus before
the caucus is held, OH an issue other
than the purpose for which the caucus
is called. Assuming 90 of the 90 Re-
publicans are dry, it is first an or
ganization of the 90 men upon an is
sue which is not Republican, issue.
and is in advance of the caucus and
precedes it, so that the caucus is or
gained before it is reached. Then,
when the plan is cut and dried, the
wet Republicans are asked to come
in and indorse the program under the
name of Republicans, which in my

judgment they will not do, because it
is not a Republican program. And
the success of the movement will
mean in the end that there will be no
Republican caucus and the election
will likely be thrown on the floor of
the house.
Gives Democrat Chance
"The statement has been made in
the public press and the names given
that neither the. drys nor the, vets
had openly II votes to control the
House, but that the absolute control
lay in the hands of three or four men
who had never expressed themselves
as to what they were going to do,
and especially upon the organizationa
of the house. 1t is my belief that
these men generally will vote for the
national amendment, although do
not know it, but l believe none
of them would be controlled in
the organization of the House upon
that issue. Assuming those figures to
be correct, the end of your movement
is to succeed in electing Democratic
speaker, who possibly you may prefer
to Mr.. Shanahan, do not know.
"You profess in your statement to
be interested in having the Republic

sure the Governor is interested in
that and the entire Republican party,
and you cannot be interested in Gov
ernor Lowden's program, | take it,
unless you are interested in the Re-
publican caucus. If your program is
not Republican and tends to break up
the Republican caucus l think it is a
mistake for you to insist upon it.
think you will not aid your own
cause in doing it if the House is as
close as the published figures indicate,
and think you will not be approved
in doing it either by the Governor or
by any of the party interests in the
