banks under state supervision.
During his service in congress
Governor Lowden was not conspic-
uous. although he did considerable
work and made several speeches
OF interest, particularly one advo-
eating publicity in connection with
the big industries of the country.
Governor Lowden makes a good
speech. He has lucid way of set
ting forth a proposition. He has a
reputation for keeping BIS head in
times OF excitement. Genial, ap-
proachable. he has a wide circle of
friends and acquaintance.
Governor Lowden is vigorous ply
sicaily. standing about five feet
eight inches and broad in proper
ton. His hair is iron gray. His
recreation is taken in the open,
tramping or riding about his farm,
or in his library, where he is a
great reader and student. He is an
apt classical scholar. AS a boy he
was fond of outdoor games, run
ming, wrestling and swimming. He
nearly lost hinlife at an early age
when he dove into 10 feet of water
to keep up with the older boys.
Theodore Voss, Jr., one of the big
boys, pulled him out after he had
gone down a second time. This
was back in Sunrise, MINI. And
the old blacksmith shop built by
Lorenzo Lowden still stands there
owned by the Lowden children
though it is used only for storage
purposes now.
Governor and Mrs. Lowden have
four children-a boy and three
girls. The boy, Pullman Lowden
served in the Prairie division in
Europe during the war with Ger.

was this work carried on by Gov
ernor and Mrs. Lowden that many

The Lowdens have also under
taken to protect the game and the
game birds on their farm, which is
a legally protected game preserve
under the terms of a lease to the
state of Illinois. Ornithologists
travel each year to the farm to
study the many species of birds
found there.
Besides being a school teacher,
a farmer and a lawyer, Governor
Lowden has the title of colonel
He was elected in 1898 lieutenant
colonel Of the LIST regiment, Illinois
National Guard. His friends de-
clare that his record as war gov
ernor the last three years has been
notable. Illinois, in view of its
large foreign-born population, was
considered a ''hotbed" by the au-
thorities at Washington. But the
situation was we'll handled, and
thousands upon thousands of sol
diers were turned out by the state
to fight the kaiser. Governor Low
den appointed a state council OF ma
tional defense that worked with
great effect Incidentally 1t may
be said that Governor Lowden has
an eve for a man as well as for ar
animal and that he has hrround'
ed himself with efficient advisers
and assistants.
Perhaps because he is a farmer
Governor Lowden took a particular
interest in the good roads question
after he was inaugurated. He rec

SOUTHERN RAIL
HEAD TO REMAIN
Fairfax Harrison Denies There
is Foundation for Report He
is to Be Retired.
(sy George Il. Mannina.l }

Washington, D. c., Sept. 19.-"There
is absolutely nothing to the report that
/ am to be retired from the presidency
of the Southern railway, and / am at
a loss to know where such a story or
iginated."
This statement was made today by
Fairfax Harrison, president of the
Southern railway, when he was asked
if there was any foundation for the
rumor that he was to be retired as
head of the Southern system at the
next meeting of the board of directors
of that line.
Careful inquiry among other high
officials of the Southern railway now
in Washington substantiated the state
men made by Mr. Harrison. 1t was de-
clared that rumOrs OF this character
have been in circulation ever since Mr..
Harrison resumed his position as pres
ident of the Southern after the rail-
roads were returned to private owner
ship. In each intsnce Mr.. Harrison has
made prompt denial.
The next meeting of the board of dt-
rectors of the Southern system will
be held in New Jrk the second week
in October. The annual meeting Of the
stockholders of the road will be be
held at Richmond the second Tuesday
in October If he was to be relieved of
his duties as president of the Southern
it would appear that some of the high
officials of the company would be
cognizant of the fact by this time.

Liberty bonds, paper unquestionally
