Mr. Seaman submits his candidacy

terms of faithful service as one of
the representatives. from this district,
He has been identified with much con
StruCtiYe legislation. During his per
iOd OF service he secured the enact
mcnt of thirty-ive laws. A few of
the more important are as follows
the Starved Rock Park act amend

residents in the matter Of securing
hunting licenses; prohibiting hunting
on the public highways; the act
known as the Sanitary School act pro-
viding improved school house cond-
tons for school children; and the
act regulating the sale OF stock OF
corporations, commonly referred to
as the "Blue Sky Law" The latter
law has driven the fraudulent stock
salesman out OF the State and has al
ready saved millions OF dollars to The
people of Illinois.

Seaman has been chairman OF the in

subject of insurance is growing more
important to the people each year.
When Mr. Seaman became chairman
OF that committee he found that the
insurance laws were disgrace to a
progressive state like ours. There
was no uniformity and many OF these
laws were in conflict with other laws
on the subject Under these laws the
state had no control of insurance
companies The existing laws were
without teeth and could not be en-.
forced. Mr. Seaman as chairman of
the insurance Committe undertook
the work of re-drafting and codlying
the Insurance laws so that Illinois
now has a progressive and modern
