EAST NORMAL AVENUE PAVING

MI. EQlCOf.
As-there is much discussion about
the paving Of East Normal Avenue
and the injunction, some calling those
enjoining as Kickers, let me say pub
licly that it is only question of the
kind of pavement wanted, some want
ing brick, while the majority want
sheet asphalt as it is noiseless on a
residence street; the petition only
called for three blocks, leaving out
the important block from the pave
ment at Chestnut street to Oak street,
thus spelling a pretty street (the
kickers wanting it all paved); that
both the brick and sheet asphalt are
guaranteed for five years, and that by
using sheet asphalt the property own
ers save $1,000 block, or $4,000 in
paving their four blocks, which is
worth saving in these hard times
The property owners also want the
present White Way of West Normal
Avenue extended east to Miner
street, except to place the lights,
standard with one globe, on each cor
ner and every 80 feet, placed just
inside the curb with wires under
ground, at their expense, the same as
West Normal, preferring to spend
their money to beautify the city and
street rather than pay to eastern
brickmakers. It will thus make
beautiful driveway for autoists from
the Normal school to Miner, up Mil
ner and back on Juniata to the school.
Yours,
Harry Freese of East Normal Ave.

Sixteenth District Of Illinois Scene of Opening Drive For
Notification Laws
ILLINOIS PRIMARY ON APRIL II
is AWAITED BY VETS OF NATION
Veteran Wet Leader Selected to Make the Fight Illinois for the
Liquor Interests
CAN LIQUOR MONEY PUT Ed HULL IN CONGRESS?

The big wet drive is on. The pre-
liminary advance in the wet cam
paign to control the 1922 Congress is
going forward full tilt The six
teenth Illinois district has been
chosen by the liquor forces to lead
off in the fight. Ed Hull distiler
OF Peoria, has been selected as the
candidate for Congress to open the
way for the wets.
For over Two years it has been
known that the liquor interests of the
nation would make their supreme ef-
fort against Prohibition enforcement
in the Congressional campaign Of
1922. For over two years the wet
leaders have been planning their pro-
ccdure to nominate and elect ma
jority favorable to legislation whose
effect would be notification of the
Eighteenth Amendment to the Con
sttuton OF the United States. For
over two years they have been watch
ing political developments. comforting
with leaders, picking their workers
and arranging for the financing of the
greatest political drive in all the h $
tory OF liquor politics in this country.
Why Illinois Was Chosen
Illinois has long been considered a
strategic state on the Prohibition
question. The largest liquor interests
in America were centered in and near
Illinois. Illinois contained the great
est distilleries in the world at Peoria.
The greatest brewery in the world
was situated Just across the river
from Illinois at St. Louis. The great
est group of brcweries next to the
Anheuser-Busch plants were located
at Milwaukee just to the north of
Illinois. Chicago. the nations second
city, controlled almost absolutely by
the political powers OF the vets has
always been vital factor in the liq-
uor politics of the nation. Accord
ingly Illinois in which the liquor
forces were formidable and the Pro
hibition forces at the same time

EXPRESSES OPINION OF
DRAMATIC DEBATE
March 8, 1922.

March 8, 1922.
Mr.. o. G. Christgau, Editor
American Issue. Chicago. Ill.
Dear Mr.. Christgau: The other
night at Mt Vernon. Illinois,
had the pleasure of listening to
the debate between yourself and
Mr.. Langley on the enforce
ment of the Prohibition laws. |
Twas very much impressed with
i it and take this means OF ex-
pressing my appreciation OF the
same. 1t embodies the very
vital thing in connection with
our work, namely the relation of
the people TO the work and to-
wards the officers who have the
burden of enforcing the law.
Further it is presented in way
that would appeal to many to
whom a set address would not
appeal at least so strongly.
s ! hope you may have time and
opportunity to deliver it often.
Very truly yours,
John F. Kramer.

powerful i'll the rural sections has al
ways been crucial state, the scene
of some OF the hardest fought
battles on the wet and dry question.
Illinois Leads This Year
Another consideration that lead to
the choice of Illinois to open the wet
drive against Constitutional Prohibi-
ton was the fact that the primary
election in this state comes earlier
than in any OF the other states in
wh'ch the liquor interests will make
their big campaigns. This year the
Illinois primaries will be held on the
llth of April. In New York, Penn
sylvania, Michigan. Indiana and other
states the primaries for the nomina-
ton OF Congressional candidates will
not come until after the Illinois
primaries have been held Therefore
II the vets of the nation can point to
an important victory in Illinois such
as the defeat OF Congressman who
voted for the dry program in Con-
grcss by a prominent wet candidate.
II will have an important bearing on
the elections to follow in other
states
Why Ed Hull Was Chosen
Ed Hull OF Peoria who is the ad-
vanced guard carrying the wet hopes
of the liquor forces OF the nation was
selected as the man most likely to
succeed in the Peoria district. For
years Ed Hull has been the down
State political leader OF the liquor
forces of Illinois His place down
state politically was the same as that
of Anton Cernlak in Chicago For
years Ed Hull decided the political
destiny of men and measures relative
to the Prohibition question.
Now in the supreme counter attack
OF the wet forces Ed Hull has been
selected to personally lead the fight
in his district. Not only because of
his political strength in the 10th dis
