IS ILLINOIS
SAFELY IN

Republican Party Is Divided
While Democrats Have

HICAGO, July EFF the
Ii claims of the Coolidge mana
N gers are to be taken at their
face value, Illinois twenty-nine
electoral votes are already in the
Republican column. But even The
Coolidge managers are not as con-
fident as they pretend to be. They
claim Illinois as safely Republican"
and at the same time they are per
fecting plans for an intensive cam
paign.
AS in Michigan, 1t is La Toilette
and his INFESTED strength with the
voters that is causing the greatest
concern to the Republican machine.
The record Of the Democrats in this
State is not quite as sad as in Mich
igan. The Democrats have carried
Illinois twice in National elections
since the birth Of the Republican
party in 1856, whereas the best they
have done in Michigan is to get five
of the fourteen electoral votes in
the 1892 campaign. In 1892 and in
1912 the Illinois electoral votes were
given the Democrats. This record is
hardly one TO cause much worry to
Republicans.

If all things were peaceful and
harmonious within the ranks OF the
local Republican organization, 1t is
doubtful If even the La Toilette
candidacy would cause much sleep
lessness on the part Of Republicans.
But things are far from peaceful.
The recent struggle between Sen
ator Medill Mccormick and ex-Gov.
Charles S. Deneen for the Republi-
can nomination for United States
Senator has left many sore spots.
Deneen barely defeated Mccormick
Mccormick is still nursing his
grudge and is not expected to lend
any very wholehearted support to
the Republican organization.
Then there is the problem of Gov
ernor Len Small who IS anything
but friendly to either Deneen or Nc
Cormick. but who is making an
earnest fight for reelection on the
Republican ticket.

Ticket Called Strong

The Democrats have what IS re
garded as a strong State ticket,
headed by Judge N. L. Jones, can
didate for Governor. and A. A.
Sprague, candidate for United states
Senator. But somehow the Renub-
leans feel they can defeat these
men even though their own party
machinery is rather out Of gear.
It is the independent voters who
are causing the worry. Illinois has
a great body Of voters wear their
party affiliations very loosely. This
was evidenced in 1912 when Roose-
welt came within $4,000 votes OF
carrying the State in the face of
combined Republican and Demo
cratic opposition.
