Eighth Senatorial District

three Republican candidates to be
nominated This is the first time the
Senatorial Committee has decided
upon more than two. The candidates
Endorsed are Charles II. Francis OF
Woodstock and William L. Weiss OF
Waukegan.
Mr.. Francis is an attorney, forty
three years of age, we'll educated, has
been assistant states attorney of Nc
Henry county, has always been an
active dry worker and is worthy the
support of all our friends.
Mr.. Weiss is also an attorney has
been active in law enforcement, led
the fight that made Waukegan dry,
worked at Springfield on behalf of
the Five Mile Zone bill and will make
an able and useful member.
Mr.. William L. Pierce of Belyidere,
one of the opposing candidates, has
been mayor of Belvidere, was classed
as wet mayor. His record on law
enforcement is poor. He has been
the attorney for bootleggers and other
law offenders in his county.
Tenth Senatorial District
There are three Republicans to be
nominated. There are FIVE candidates
from which these three will be
chosen.
Mr.. Charles w. Baker of Monroe
Center is a candidate for reelection.
His record is 100 per cent. He is en-
titled to reelection.
Mr.. Harlan B. Kaufman OF Oregon
stands favorable to the Prohibition
Amendment and laws to enforce the
same.
Mr. Albin s. Lundvall of Rockford
has the endorsement of the Swedish
Temperance organizations of the city
OF Rockford and stands favorable to
the enforcement of the Prohibition
Amendment.
The above three men are indorsed,
Mr.. Guy w. Ginders is a candidate
for reelection. In the last session
he failed to support any law enforce
ment measures. In his campaign he
promised to support all these meas
ures but absolutely failed while at
Springfield. The Legislative Voters
League says of him that his record is
colorless. While sle made no def
mite Impression upon the Legislature
his vote was with the liquor people.
They will support him in his candi
dacy for reelection. To defeat him
all three of the Endorsed candidates
must be nominated.
Our recommendation is that dry
Republicans vote one vote each for
the men Endorsed.
Twelfth Senatorial District
Irwin and Myers should have the
combined support of all the drys in
the Republican primary by putting a
cross before their names and before
their names only, as only two are to
be nominated and If you divide your
vote with any other candidate a wet
man will defeat one of these men
whose Legislative record for two
terms in the Legislature has been sat
isfactory. John Acker of Savanna is
wet. being an ex-saioonkeeper. He
is telling the drys that the question
is settled, while he has the vets
working for him hoping to help put
over a beer and wine program.
In the Democratic primary James
A. Graham of Cedarville is entitled to
the support of the drys. He is a
farmer and high class citizen. Give
him your three votes. Charles +.
Franz of Freeport has served the vets
for number of years at Springfield.
He has been one of the wet leaders
in the Legislature. He should be de-
feated and the way to defeat him is
to vote for Graham only.
Eighteenth Senatorial District
Charles w. LaPorte is entitled to
the united support OF all the dry vot-
ers. in Peoria county. He has a 100
per cent record. Two wet men will
be nominated if nc is defeated. He is
