The plan suggested for the Amer
lean participation in these operations
was not acceptable to me, because it
would require the immediate separa-
ton of the recently formed first Amer
lean army into several groups, main
~ to assist French armies. This was
directly contrary to the principle Of
forming distinct American army, for
which my contention had been insist
ent. An enormous amount Of prepara-
ton had already been made in con-
struction Of roads, railroads. regulat-
ing stations and other installations
looking to the use and supply of our
armies on a particular 'front.' The in
herent disinclination of our troops to
serve under allied commanders would
have grown and American morale
would have suffered. Ny position was
stated quite clearly, that the strate-
gical employment Of the first army as
a unit would be undertaken where de-
sired, but it's disruption to carry out
these proposals would not be enter

Illinois Executive Shows That
Business Methods More Than
Counterfeit High Prices.
A RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENTS
Executive Departments Consolidated
Sound Financial Policy Ap-
piled to State
Affairs.

0Vt. rduA ". AOWueuS b STedL IcC-
ord as war executive of Illinois has
made him one of the leading candi-
dates for the Republican nomination
for president. 1t is story of admin
istrative achievements. Every pledge
to the people has been redeemed.
Despite high prices and unsettled
conditions due to the war, Gov. Low
den, by the practical application OF
business methods to the management
of the states affairs, reduced the tax
rate in Illinois 80 per cent in two
years. His friends are certain that he
can do for the nation what he has
done for Illinois in the matter of good
government and lower taxes if he is
given the opportunity.
When Governor Lowden assumed Of
fice as executive Of Illinois in Janu-
ary, 1917, the state treasury was prac-
tically bankrupt. There was only $3.50
to the credit of the general fund,
when outstanding bills had been paid.
One of his first official acts was to
abolish many political jobs by COM
bining the work of 125 different de-
pact central departments. Gov. Low
den also had the state adopt budget
system which he thought would be a
model for other commonwealths. He
placed business men and trained ex-
perts in charge of each of these de-
partments with gratifying results to
the taxpayers.
NJ pnudnptfn0 sfQfn
government was reduced hundreds Of
thousands of dollars year while the
quality of service to the public showed
a marked Improvement. The effects
Of q business administration in the
state were manifest in short time.
The state gradually built up cash
balance and was able to discount it's
bills.
As a practical illustration of what
good government means it is officially
estimated that Illinois will have a
cash balance of $9.S77. .225 on hand
July /, 1920. in spite Of a reduction OF
33 per cent in the tax rate. This is
what Gov. Lowden's business admins
tration has done for Illinois.
In addition to these things Gov.
Lowden succeeded in accomplishing
these concrete results:
Began work on the states S6O,0OO,-
600 good roads system. Two hundred
miles of good road were built last year.
One thousand miles will be completed
In 1920
Authorized the beginning of work on
the last link Of the states system of
waterways, which will connect the
Great Lakes with the Mississippi river.
Obtained needed tax reforms for the
people.
Reorganized the states penal and
charitable institutions on a humane
basis.
Brought about a constitutional con-
vention for Illinois, which is now in
session forming a new basic law for
the state.
Friends of Gov. Lowden believe that
actions speak louder than words, and
they point to his public record as evil
dence that he is the type of man need
ed for president in this critical period
of the country's history.
