From the Peoria Journal
To the Voters of Pekin Township:
think IT time to let the people Of this.
township know that / know and every
one else that works for a living kOows
that the bills for the supervisor would
be high. but am willing to return to the
county the money spent on the people
that did. not need it. II anyone will come
and prove to me and as to comparing

help to the poor. II this county had just

he never had any little children to beg
for shoes or something to eat or wear
for he was always lucky to have good
job finding fault with other people that
don't agree, with him. Yours truly.
