HENRY COUNTY
CAMP AICN ENDS
IN QUIET WAY
Chief Interest Lies in Contests for
Upper and Lower Houses
of Assembly.
Especial Correspondence

Kewanee, April 10.-As the clos
ing hours of the statewide primary
campaign approaches. Henry coun-
ty finds itself in the midst Of one
of the quietest finishes it has ever
experienced in its political history.
This is due to the fact that there
are so few contests. True, there is
opposition to some of the candi-
dates. However, none of the coun-
ty officers on either the Republican
or Democratic tickets have con-
tests. One of the most peculiar
situations confronts the Democrats
as there is not a single contest and
many of the Democrats are going
to swing over to help out some of
their Republican friends.
The Republican contest for state
senator is better Randolph Boyd
of Galva, who has served in the
lower house for 10 years, is being
opposed by John Knight, banker
of Walnut, Bureau county. Close
political observers predict that
Boyd will be the winner, due to
the efforts of the Anti-Saloon
league, which has endorsed him and
has instructed it's followers to de-
feat knight Then, too, Mr.. Boyd
has hit upon a scheme that will
finally give Henry county its share
of permanent roads to which it is
entitled.
For Lower House. ses.a,
There are seven candidates lot
the lower house from this Gstzfkt.
The Anti-Saloon league has made
no endorsements, although Fred
Rennick of Buda and William Jack
son of Toulon will get the support
OF the Anti-Saloon league leaders.
Theh there is ]. B. Richardson of
Orion. He is strong with all fac
lions and is lodge man. He bears
watching, as does Russell T. Ne
vile of Kewanee. Mr. Neville has
been in the race continually since
August and has built up an extern
SIve acquaintance. j. Robert
Moore is the only wet in the field
and if the vets do as they say

home is Kewanee. o. w. Mason of

Thompson Hand Seen.
The hand of the Chicago-Thomp-
son-Lundin crowd is seen in the
fight for state committeeman. The
candidates are George Keeling of
Rushville, who has the backing of
the Thompson machine, while
George H. Wilson of Quincy is la
beled anti-Thompson. 1t will be re-
membered that in the primary of
1920 one Cambridge precinct voted
as a unit against Thompsonism,
not a single vote being cast for
Len Small, the Thompson candidate
for governor.
A desperate and secret effort is
to be made to wrest the control of
the county Republican committee
from the present committee, it is
rumored. A full list of candidates
for precinct committeeman will be
offered the voters as they approach
the voting booths tomorrow.
