THE ISSUE IN ILLINOIS.

The Streator Trades and Labor
Council, the assembly of all branches
of organized labor in Streator, has
voted unanimously to employ all
honorable means in an attempt to de-
feat the candidacy of Senator T. G.
Essington of Streator for the Repub-
lican nomination for Governor of Hi
nois. This action follows the policy
of the seven local unions locked out
in the city of Streator, in declaring
Senator Essington an enemy of labor
purely on his record in the State
Senate.
This official action of the Streator
labor movement is no reflection on
the personal life or habits of its fellow
townsman, Mr.. Essington. Nor is it
a reflection on his ability. He has,
however, consistently opposed labor's
program and has picked for his cam
paign manager Mr.. w. H. Boys of
Streator, who is the attorney for the
Streator Manufacturers Association
and an ardent advocate of the open
shop policy in industry. The main
source of Mr.. Essington's strength
comes from the known enemies of
organized labor. Hence the Streator
labor movement as an act of self
preservation deemed it necessary to
attempt the defeat of Mr.. Essington's
candidacy. The labor movement
throughout the state is following the
example set by Streator.
Governor Len Small is coming to
Streator on Friday, February LIST. He
has accepted the invitation extended
HIM by the Streator Trades and Labor
Council. He has been numerically
prosecuted by the same element that
has made Streator a very hell on
earth for the members of organized
labor in Streator during the past few
years. Brute force failed to break the
courage of Len Small. 1t failed to
break the spirit of the Streator strik-
ers. The brave old gentleman suffered
the irreparable loss of his beloved
wife who was sacrificed by the cold
blooded prosecutors. The union people
of Streator have suffered intensely
during the "open shop" drive. In the
coming of the Governor to the seat of
the CrucitiXion of organized labor in
Illinois we find the practical example
of an old saying that Truth crushed
TO earth shall rise again" Brute force
and Ignorance nailed the gentle
Nazarene to the cross on Golgotha.
His teachings today are becoming

universal knowledge, and will some
day be accepted fully as the ruling
force of the world. Labor ineStreator
cannot be permanently crushed nor
can the lies of the opposition hold the
Governor from the position he de-
serves in our state.
The common people cannot afford
to play the part of an ostrich in the
coming campaign. For them to bury
their heads in the political sand would
be ridiculous. Len Small has built
hard roads while the opposition has
opposed them. He advocated the Sol
dler's bonus and the opposition op-
posed it until they saw its enactment
was inevitable. Len Small favors the
old age pension bill while the opposi-
ton has always opposed it. He op-
poses the use of Injunction in labor
disputes, while the opposition advo-
Gates the State Constabulary. The
cement trust, that tried to force hard
roads in Illinois to cost of $4,000
per mile instead of $4,000 per mile
average that your Governor has Sc
cured for you, is found prominent in
the ranks of the opposition. The At
torney General who mad 100000
taken from his grossly padded ap-
preparation is found practically lead
ing the opposition. The secret of the
much heralded opposition to Len Small
is not found in any desire TO do the
people good. 1t is simply the express
sion of desire of the "outs" to get
in. The Governor is running on his
progressive record. The opposition
has no platform. 1t merely says that
the Governor is crooked and the op-
position is honest. The worth of the
respective contentious is obvious to
all.
If organized labor is to continue in
Illinois without having the State Con-
stabulary to contend with in its
seyerest test in its history Mr.. Essing-
ton must be defeated. If the farmers
and the automobile owners of the
state want state wide system of
hard roads built economically and
honestly they should investigate Mr.,
Esslngton's vote against the road bill
II the aged citizens and their friends
want the old age pension bill Mr..
Esslngton must be defeated. If the
Republican soldiers expect to stand
by the man who was for them and
their state bonus from the very start
they cannot ignore Len Small. The
only way for the Republican voters
to beat Mr., ESsington is to vote for
Len small. The issue is plain. Labor
