Twenty-Fourth Senatorial District


a good record, is a candidate for re-
election. al the other candidates for
the House are also dry and arc COM
mitted TO the anti-saloon program.
The Senate situation is dangerous.
The contest is between Senator II. NJ.
Dunlap, present member, and Dr. w
+. Burres of Urbana. Senator Dun
lap is one OF the most able and relia-
bic men in the Senate. He is a real
leader for good government. DIR.
Burres served two terms in the House,
but showed himself to be wabbly and
unreliable. lie can not be counted
upon. After the Anti-Saloon League
had gene to more trouble to re-eleet
him than probably any other man in
the state he went TO Springfield and
joined i'll the Browne Curran- Burres
combination to elect a wet Speaker.
The combination consisted of forty
nine wet Democrats and thirty-one
Republicans, Burres being the only
Endorsed dry. The American Issue
OF February 20, 1915 says in an edi-
torial, MIR. Burres is the only Re-
publican Endorsed by the Anti Saloon
League who was willing to join in
this corrupt combination" Mr..
Burres thus joined in this bipartisan
wet combination to defeat Hon. w. J.
Graham, dry, then member of the
Illinois House, but now an active
member of Congress, for the election
of a wet Speaker. He says in this
campaign that he is running on his
record. His wabbly record should
defeat any man. He can not be
counted upon.
Twenty Eighth Senatorial District
Z. c. Perkins, lawyer of Lincoln,
has served for five terms. Has 100
per cent record on anti-saloon meas
ures. Has been an active worker.
Has faithful general record. The
Legislative Voters League said of

corded on almost every roll call"
T. c. Buxton, physician, served one
term. Voted for all dry bills.
Messrs. William c. Chynoweth of
Macon and E. B. Bentley of Clinton
are reported as high-class men and
their attitude is favorable.
Senate-Messrs. O. w. Smith and
Horace McDavid, candidates for the
Senate in the Republican and Demo-
cratic primaries are among the high
est class men who have served in the
House.
Thirtieth Senatorial District
Senator Walter |. Nanny is one OF
the able men OF the Illinois Senate.
His record is 100 per cent on anti
saloon measures. He is entitled to
the active and exclusive support of all
drys. His chief opponent is William
II. Deterich of Beardstown, one OF
the most active wet workers in the
Illinois House. Vote and work for
Senator Nanny as against Mr. Diet
erich.
Mr.. Tice who is a candidate in the
Republican primary is one OF the most
able House leaders. Ben L. Smith,
candidate for reelection in the Dem
ocratic primary is able, active and one
of the most conscientious members OF
the legislature, county superintendent
of schools, acquainted with the life
OF the farm and being an attorney is
we'll qualified. Our friends should
give him their hearty support
Thirty-Second Senatorial District
The three candidates for reelection
have 100 per cent records on anti
saloon measures. The Legislative
Voters League says OF Pace, "a level
headed and Woodworking member;
of Robbins, "A capable and industri-
Gus member" and of Reaugh, "a we'll
informed and effective member" The
district should be proud of the rec
ords of her three men.
Fred Twesten of Hamilton, a sa-
loon man, and Henry d. Lewis, are
the opponents of the Republican can
didates for reelection. Mr.. Lewis
refuses to state his position, which
means in ninety-nine cases out of a
hundred that he leans to the vets.
No dry should waste vote on Lewis.
