Here there was NOR. spontaneity.

OF praise. their most ardent Rp-

LOWDEN'S WAR RECORD
Governor Active Aid of National
Authorities.
Stripes in Overseas
Service.

Friends of Frank o. Lawden point
with pride to his record as war gov
ernor of Illinois. Promptly following
the severance of diplomatic relations
between the United States and Ger
many Gov Lowden issued an appeal
to the people of Illinois to uphold
ePresident Wilson.
{ .'It is the solemn duty of all Ameri-
cans" he said, ito rally to his sup
port"
Three days later he went before
Joint session of the two branches OF
the legislature to renew his appeal.
''We may have many sympathes," ;"
he said. "We can have but one allegi-
ance and that allegiance is to the
United States"
The authorities In Washington re-
garded Illinois as critical territory.
GOV. Lowden took immediate steps TO
demonstrate that the state was united
ly back of the government in what
ever war. measures it undertook. He
appointed state council of defense,
representing all parties and all ele-
ments, to organize the war activities
of Illinois.
The work of this council was note
worthy. Financed by an appropriation
of $50,000 as against appropriations
for similar purposes in other states
running as high as $5,000,00O, the IL
linois council achieved results equal in
Importance to those of any other body
of It's kind in the country. Among the
things 1t did of direct aid to the gov
ernments military plans was to give
preliminary training to several thou
sand drafted men, so that on report
ing to camp they were able to obtain
immediate recognition as noncommis-
stoned officers. The councils chief
function, however, was in building up
the morale of the people at home,
fostering economies and aiding move
ments of whatever kind designed to
increase national efficiency.
The governor kept in close personal
touch with the Illinois boys in khaki
and blue. He visited them in their
camps, Travelled to the seaboard to bid
Godspeed to departing contlngents and
was at New York to give welcome in
the name of the state to the veterans
who came back at the close of the
fighting.
His interest in the soldiers was not
merely official. Among them was his
own son, Pullman Lowden-a member
of the Prairie division. In that divi-
sion was the Dandy First" regiment
of the Illinois national guard with
which Lowden served for three years
as lieutenant-c colonel. Pullman went
