In FOLLOWING AUTHORITATIVE REPORT BY LEAGUE

L. Walter Green (Rep). Hindsboro,
nominee for reelection to the House.
His record is good, he should be sup
ported and reelected.
Seymour Hurst (Dem.), Marshall, is
nominee for the House. He has
served acceptably in the Legislature,
was a member OF the 45th General
Assembly which passed the local OPP
ton law and voted for the same. He
is high class, able and reliable man
and should be elected.
Charles +. Moore (Rep), Kinds
boro, is one of the nominees for the
House, stands favorable to law en-
forcement His position is satisfac
tory
Robert Howard (Dem,), Mattoon,
is also a nominee for the House to
succeed himself His record is bad.
He gave signed statement when he
made his first campaign to vote for
the Anti-Saloon program including
the blind tiger bill. In succeeding
campaigns he reiterated that position,
but when the REAL TEST came in
the last session upon this blind tiger
bill he failed to make good. He voted
with the drys when there was no con-
test, but when the opportunity pre-
sented itself for him to help the vets
they got his assistance. He is wet
and his word cannot be counted upon.
He should be defeated. No dry should
give a single vote to Mr.. Howard.
3sth SENATORIAL DISTRICT
Andrew s. Cuthbertson (Rep9,
Bunker Hill, is lawyer, able, and
reliable. Strong for the Eighteenth
Amendment.
A. w. Crawford (Dem.), Hillsboro,
coal operator, will not agree to oppose
any increase in alcoholic content in
liquor if Congress acts on that matter
and thereby make it possible to be
effective in the state
1t is time a dry senator was elected
from this district, to vote in harmony
with the 20 dry senator's from the
counties outside of Chicago, instead
of hooking up with the five wet sena-
tors from Peoria, Quincy, E. St.
Louis, LaSalle and Madison counties.
This is dry district and ought to be
represented dry. We recommend for
state senator Andrew S. Cuthbertson.
Truman A. Smell (Dem.), Litchfield
and Otto c. Sonnemann (Rep.) have
represented this district for several
terms and both voted for ratification
of the Prohibition Amendment, for
woman's suffrage and for the Prohibi-
ton enforcement law to prevent nulli
hcation of the Constitution. We
therefore urge all voters, both men
and women of all political parties, to
vote for Truman A. Smell and Otto
c. Sonnemann.
H. A. Sheppard (Dcm.), Jerseyville,
has a wet record throughout his long
service. Was involved in the Lori
mer scandal of the Jackpot" Legis-
lature. No dry should vote for him.
David Davis (Rep), Litchfeld, is
also a nominee on the Republican
ticket. Heretofore only one Republican
has been nominated. Mr.. Davis stands
right as to position, but vote for
him would porbably mean vote that
would help elect Sheppard and might
defeat Smell who has been leader
for our cause at Springfield. The rec
ord of Mr.. Sonnemann is such as to
entitle him to reelection.
Thirty-ninth Senatorial District
John Wylie (Rep.J, Utica, farmer,
able, we'll informed, reliable. He
should be given the pumped votes
of the drys of all parties by placing a
cross before his name and not before
