Ladies Aid Surprise

Monday evening members of
the Ladies Aid Society of the M {.
E. church gathered at the home
of Mrs. Mary Burke and went
across the street to surprise two
of their loyal members, Mrs. N.
E. Fletcher and Mrs. Kittie Fur"
man who were to leave on the
early morning train for a years
visit in California. Conversa-
ton was the diversion. "My.
experience in travelling, "by Mrs.
Burk! was voted to be the best
story of the evening. During
the evening the two ladies were
presented with package and
told not to open it until they
reached their destination. But
being women and as well as all
the ladies present did not know
what it contained, curiosity won,
and the package was opened. 1t
was found to contain voile
dresses, suitable to be worn in
Sunny California. On depart
ing the guests wished Mrs. Flet-
cher and Mrs. Furman health
and happiness in their new home.

Among those who are candidates
for reelection to the Illinois Legis-
lature we find the name of Hon.
Homer J. Tice>of Greenwich, who has
represented for a number of years
the Thirtieth Legislative District. Mr..
Tice is one of the most experienced
and at the same time most active men,
bers OF the Legislature. He has
probably participated in bringing
about more good legislation than any
other man i'll the state. During all
the time he has been in the Assembly
he has been out and out for all anti
saloon legislation. In the last ses-
sion he probably did more in keeping
the dry forces united which made
possible the enactment of the Illinois
Prohibition act than any other man
in the Assembly. While leader in
anti saloon matters he has been also
leader in other matters pertaining
to the welfare ofathe district he repre-
scnts. Mr.. Tice is entitled on his
record and ability to the enthusiastic
support of the voters from his district.

Legislature and the City Council, Candidate

some who ought to know better to
disrcspect the Constitution. ! do not
want to get on the bench to be
Crusader but | feel positive that it
Prohibition fails it will be because OF
a weak, tmid, tolerant judiciary. Pro-
hibiton can be and will be a success
as soon as the judges begin to give
the rich and strong, as we'll as the
weaker violators, maximum fines and
maximum prison sentences.
Now is the time for the judiciary
to vigorously assert its function and
reduce crime of every kind to the
minimum by imposing the maximum
penalties This and nothing else, will
stop the fragrant disregard of the law.
A determined Judge can drive pick
pockets, holdup men, gamblers,
crooks of all kind and the lawless
liquor trafficker, out of each police
district in Chicago by encouraging
faithful cooperation from the police
in that district
1t may be because I have been an
attorney for law and order league,
have voted dry in the Legislature
and in the city council, | will have a
bitter opposition from certain class of
citizens who hung around saloons,
gambling houses and disorderly re-
sorts. Surely my sixteen years in
the general practice OF the law and
my character will be an answer to
arguments from that source.
ask every citizen who believes in
law and order and respect for the
Constitution to assist me, for which
| will be very grateful.

PRESIDENT HARDING ON
RESPECT FOR LAW

at is absolutely essential to
the maintenance of a secure
society and TO the attainment
of proper moral plane that
the law should be recognized
as sacred and supreme.
Whatever breeds disrespect
for the law of the land. in any
particular department OF our
community relations, is a force
tending to the general break
down OF the social organiza-
ton. If people who arc known
as leaders, as directing Unfit
ences, as thoroughly respected
and respectable members of
society, shall in their respect
i've communities become known
for their defiance of some part
OF the code of law, then they
need not be astonished if
presently they find that their
example is followed by others,
with tho result that presently
the law in general comes to be
looked upon as set of irk-
some and unreasonable re-
straints upon the liberty of the
individual. From an address

MINISTER'S OF BUREAU

pan" Hull as Candidate of Vets in
Resolutions Adopted Monday
Afternoon at Princeton

Resolutions endorsing Clifford Ire
land for Congress and condemning
Ed. Hull as the candidate of the vets
were adopted Monday afternoon by
group of Protestant ministers at
called meeting held at the Clark ho-
tel DR.. Allen, member of the board
of trustees of the Illinois Ant-Saloon
League, presented the political situ-
alton as it concerns law enforcement
bodies.
1t is said candidates for county Of
fees were discussed at this meeting
but no formal action was taken to
pick any favorites. The resolutions
adopted were as follows:
Resolved, That we ministers of the
Gospel, representing eight Protestant
denominations of Bureau county, reg
lister our confidence in the record of
Clifford Ireland as established during
six years of honest, fearless and de-
voted service TO this congressional dis
trict. His vote has always been for
legislation to enforce the Eighteenth
or Prohibition Amendment;
1--WE approve his strong American
ism, his loyalty to his convictions and
are certain of his ability;
1--WE urge all voters who want the
dry laws upheld to be present at the
polls April II, and vote for Clifford
Ireland. We are opposed to the can
didacy OF Ed. Hull because he not only
made his money out of whisky but is
understood generally to be the candi-
date put into the field by the wet cle-
ment.

STOCKING IN OPEN
LETTER TO JOHNSON
Would Submit Candidates. to Com
mittee

d. c. Stocking, of Rockford, can
ddate for one OF the three Repub-
liean nominations for representative
i'll the general assemly from the
Tenth senatorial district and who
was ono of the three aspirants in
dorsed by the state Anti-Saloon
League, today mailed the following
open letter to Hon. Albert NJ. John
son, of Polo, also candidate for
representative, which explains itself:
Offers to Arbitrate
Hon. Albert NJ. Johnson,
Polo, Ill.
Dear Sir:
Considerable newspaper agitation
as TO your candidacy and mine for
the primary contest April II leads me
to the conclusion that it must all be
very encouraging to the beer and
light wine candidate l. NJ. Green.
My candidacy both in Ogle and this
county, is meeting with a reception
that is highly satisfactory to me, but
| believe there is a side of this that
should be considered by both of us
before my further attention is given
TO our personal ambitions or feelings
| mean that VIC ought to first give
attention to the dry cause and that
no personal ambition should be para
mount.
The fight has been waged too long
the price paid has been too great to
stand the chance to lose the fruits of
the victory to which the people are
entitled. No man who is not in
sympathy with the dry victory ought
to have hand in law enactment and
law enforcement, particularly when
that candidate comes out on a plat
form declaring for the repeal OF the
search and seizure lava law with
teeth and claws, the most powerful
law the respccters for law have. and
the law which the bootleggers and
moonshincrs fear most. A declaration
on his part too for beer and light
wines. while it may not mean the sa-
loon under the old name. would nee
essarily have some place to be dis
penscd and such a place would need
two detectives for every barkeeper
to keep him from selling whisky A
garbage can by any other name
would give out just as bad an odor
Now to the end that upon neither
you nor me can be placed the rcspon-
sibility of such a situation, ! propose
that you shall select a man, | shall
select one. these two shall select a
third, to meet in Rochelle or such
other point as We may determine. at
the earliest possible date, for the pur-
pose of considering our respective
candidates. and to fully abide by
their decision as to which one of us
shall withdraw from this primary
contest, giving to the other candidates
his full, friendly support, so that this
splendid Tenth senatorial district
may stand no chance of being mis-
represented at Springfield

SAYS HE CAN IDENTIFY
 BODY FOUND AT TAFTVILLE

Claiming that he can identify the jacknife and watch found on the body of the man found by Lloyd S. Chapman last Sunday hanging in thicklY wooded lane west from Occum road near River side, Peter Delisle of Occum road says that the man was a weaver in one of the local mills, an Englishman, by the name of Peter. What his last name was has not been learned but he was known as Johnny Bull Pete"
 Mir. De1isle, who now keeps a small grocery and confectionery store at the base of Riverside hill, formerly lived for
 several years in a small camp in the
 woods near Riverside grove. He has been Ito the undertaking rooms of c. A. Gager, where he Identified the knife as one that he gave Peter before he left Taftvil1e during the summer. MT. Delisle is also reasonably sure that the watch is one that Peter owned. However, when Peter left town presumably for Westerly, R. l.. he did not wear a straw hat, although he did wear a blue suit and tan shoes A straw hat was found near the body last Sunday Owing to the length of | time that the body was exposed to the weather, the features were unrecogntza' ble and the labels in the clothing, which might furnish a clue as to the identity were routed away.
 Delisle appeared at the polls at Taft vile Tuesday carrying a paper bag, IT which he stated were portions Of the
 mans body, and which he offered to ex'
 hibit to the election officials, but they declined to view the remains
 | The body still is still at the morgut 1 of Undertaken Gager, but will probably
 be buried today (Thursay).
