1922 OFFICIALLY
PROVED ILLINOIS
HEALTHIEST YEAR

Chicago Daily Tribune, Mar. 10, '22)
The above headings are significant
in connection with Prohibition. In
the old days before Prohibition great
MANY accidents were caused by drink.
Doubtless many still arc, but the fact
that there is a decrease in total acct
dents indicates that Prohibition has
had its effect
The article from the Chicago Even
ing Post, under the heading above,
states that life for the average Amer
lean is increasing and in the list OF
causes mentions Prohibition first of
all. In this article Mr.. c. II. Boyer,
of Chicago manager of the National
Life Insurance Company casualty de-
partmcnt is quoted from an address
before the Health and Accident I'm
derwriters' national conference. Mr..
Bower said: 1--WE hear much OF deaths
from poison 'hootch' from crazed
drinkers OF Prohibition substitutes for
liquor But the cold figures show
that Prohibition is cut in half deaths
from drink and from crimes stimu-
lated by drinking
The statement that Illinois has just
experienced its healthiest year on rec
ord is credited TO Dir. l. d. Rawlings,
director of the state department of
public health. The death rate in his
statement was given as II for each
1000 population as compared to l2.6
in 1920 while the number OF cases of
diseases reported was approximately
one-half OF the 1920 total
Credit Prohibition with longer life,
better health, fewer accidents.

ED HULL, A PEORIA DlSTILLER, SELECTED TO
OPEN CAMPAIGN FOR ELECTION WET CONGRESS
Concluded From Page One)

whom Ed Hull depends for votes.
For another Ed Hull never did do his
political work very much in the open.
Furthermore, it is not necessary for
Ed Hull to publish his attitud on the
liquor question. Every liquor man in
the state knows him as the leader of
the vets. No liquor man would OK
poet him to be anything else than
favorable to all liquor legislation. Ac-
cordingly Ed Hull will get all the
liquor votes without necessarily say
ing a word on the liquor question
Another reason for his past and
prospective silence is that he hopes to
get the support of enough drys to land
the nomination on the Republican
ticket. Therefore Ed Hull will cam
paign Tor safe and sound issues like
good roads and lower taxes. He will
speak of doing things for his district
He will endeavor TO have the drys
forget about his business and political
connections with the liquor business
But if he is nominated on April II and
elected Ed Hull will make the re-
storation of the liquor traffic for his
district and the entire nation his chief
legisla tive business.
Nation Watching Peoria District
The eyes of the vets throughout
America are upon the Peoria district
comprising the counties OF Bureau
Marshall, Peoria. Putnam, Stark, and
Tazewell. If Ed Hull with the help
of his distillery made money and the
cooperation OF the national wet ma
chine succeeds i'll defeating Clifford
ireland it will be forward march sig
nal to vets all over the nation In
every congressional district in which
there IS the slightest chance to elect
qualification candidates men will be
brought into the field by the liquor
crowd and backed financially to the
limit. In the shifting OF fighting
fronts in the great wet and dry war
fare it has now fallen to the lot OF
voters in the 10th district to decide
what is now the most critical con-
gressional contest in the nation Every
voter to the polls on April II should
be the slogan of citizens loyal to the
Constitution in this district.

that throughout the state generally,
and in Chicago in particular, there is

object the delusion of the American

trict but because he is wanted in Con-
gress ON account OF his liquor con-
nections, political and financial Ed
Hull was named to make the race
for nomination to Congress.
Ed Hulls Business
In his political advertising Ed Hull
lists himself as a business man who
will do things for the 10th district.
What has been his business and
what may Ed Hull be expected to do
for the district he is asking TO send
him to Congress? Many years ago
Ed Hull was a gauger in the Clark
Distillefy. Later he became sales
manager and stakeholder. Then he
became the political leader of the vets
at Springfield Gradully he accurnu-
lated considerable wealth in the form
of salary and dividends paid him by
the distillery Ownership by him of
any other business interests he may
have was made possible by his wealth
amounting to a million dollars or
more that was made directly from the
business OF manufacturing and selling
whisky.
Becomes Wet Political Leader
By the time that the Prohibition
issue became one of the dominating
political questions in Illinois Ed Hull
had become so we'll established in the
liquor trade and so influential among
political leaders that he was made the
legislative manager down-state of the
Illinois liquor interests. Just as An
ton Cermak decided upon candidates
and upon bills for the liquor men OF
Chicago so Ed Hull did the political
work for the VETS down-state 1t
was Ed Hull who i'll every campaign
distributed the pink slip" endorse
ments OF candidates who had the sup
port of the allied liquor trades Of the
state. Then during legislative ses-
sions Ed Hull was the man who de-
termined the wet program at Spring
field and led the fight for wet and
against dry legislation.
Wet Platform Not Public
SO far as has come to the attention
OF the American Issue Ed Hull has
not published his wet platform. He
is not likely to try to enter Congress
by the gate marked saloons" He
may not even try tc get through by
the beer and wine" entrance. For
one thing these gates are being too
closely watched by the drys upon

 In a little while Cuffy coaxed her to get upon the plank again. And then they had great sport for hours, teetering. They enjoyed it so much that they never noticed how the sun was sinking, which would have told them-had they looked at it-that il was time for them to go home.
 Not until they heard a gruff voice near at hand did they know that their father had come to get them. Mrs Bear had sent him down the noun tain to find the children.
 What nonsense is this?" Mir Bear snorted. He sounded so fierce that they didn't dare jump down. Even when he ordered them to hop off and be quick about it" they clung to their perch.
 With 8 dreadful roar Mir, Bear dart cd towards them. Tn spite of his great bulk, when he chose to he could move spryly. He grasred an end of the plank and scrambled upon it,
 Of course the children edged away from him. And then Mir Bear sud- denly found himself aloft. He clung on grimly, calling again to the young sters to jump.
 This time they obeyed him. They were nearly down to the ground any how. And they hoped off together.
 Then Mir. Bear took his tumble, just as Silkie had taken hers. Being a heavy person, Mir. Bear fell hard. And he lay grooming upon the turf for so long that Cuffy and Silkie couldn't help being frightened.

 Farmer Green had been repairing the sugar house in the maple woods. He had left a long plank leaning against the stone wall nearby, intend ing to carry it down to the farmyard the next time he drove that way. One end of the plank rested on the ground, while the other stuck up in the air on the farther side of the wall.
 Romping down into the little clear ing where the sugar house nestled, Cuffy Bear caught sight of the plank and ran straight towards it.
 You can't catch me- he called to his sister silkie,
 She chased after him at once. squealing joyfully as Cuffy ran up the plank a little way ahead of her. With a bound she landed on the plank S lower end. Meanwhile Cuffy had passed over the stone wall on the new bridge that Farmer Green had thoughtlessly made there.
 Suddenly Silkie felt herself rising. At the same time she saw the op- posite end of the plank, with Cuffy clinging to it. slowly sink. There was a jounce as he struck the ground. And when that happened Silkie was high in the air.
 "Ouee-ee-ee." she shrieked. This is fun"
 The next instant she dropped like stone; for Cuffy Bear had slipped off his end of the plank, leaving nothing to hold it down,
 Little Silkie landed with a dread ful thump on her side of the wall. Though she had a smart shaking-up,
