lative, executive and judicial branches.
Representing as | do the supreme
executive authority of this great
commonwealth vested in me by the
constitution through the people, have
at no time intruded upon the func-
tions of other branches of the govern
ment clothed in like manner with au-
thority.
81 have through lawful procedure
protected the executive power accord
ing to my oath of office, with due re-
Spect TO the courts. and have availed
myself of competent legal advice in
so doing.
Contrary to the accepted principles
of our government and at the behest
of corrupt conspirators, the authority
of the people has been prostituted TO
the purposes of a lawless ring.
"Aided by Chicago Papers"
"This ring, composed of the most
vicious elements in SangamOn county,
is aided and abetted by commercial
lied newspapers, such as the Chicago
Attorney General Edward J. Brundage
and United States Senator Medill Nc
COrmick
"The sheriff of Sangamon county
was closely advised of my movements
and could have ordered my arrest in
any county where l happened to be,
If so desired" says the statement.
mo mOlestation has been attempted,
except in gang-ruled Sangamon coun-
ty. Here the ruffianism of corrupt
politics has threatened the orderly pro-
cesses of government. Here the ring
would subordinate proper lawful func-
tions to its improper and lawless pur-
poses.
Notwithstanding pretensions of de-
cency. my enemies maliciously staged
spectacular arrest under circum-
stances intended to humiliate me and
disgrace the people of our state.
Even though the sheriff stated he had
no thought that I would evade arrest,
nevertheless the capitol of the state
was besieged and surrounded by an
army of deputies drawn from the
slums of the city of Springfield, and
when l was finally arrested in the
executive mansion the sheriff peremp-
tOrily refused to examine or accept
bond with ample surety, which / pre-
sented, and fOrcibly took me from the
executive mansion and paraded me
through a mob which had been assem-
bled to jeer and insult the governor. T"
