The record Of Medill Mccormick in
the senate Of the United States is in
He introduced, championed and vot-
s8 for the resolution which called upon
ibs Federal Reserve Board to insti-
into its rninous defation policy which
plunged the farmers of the nation into
financial ruin.
He voted fer the Esch- Cummins law
with its rate guarantee provisions
which imposed exorbitant freight rates
upon American agriculture and the
general business of the country.
He helped to write, supported and
voted for the Fordney McCumber
tariff law, with its excessively high
tariff schedules, which put millions of
dollars annually of the peoples money
into the pockets of certain privileged
manufacturers of the country, over
and above reasonable protection to
American industry.
He supported and voted for the ship
subsidy BILL and sought thereby to
pay into the pockets of private in
terests, millions of dollars for taking
over the ships owned by the govern
ment Of the United States.
Ii was one of his own recommended
political appointees who issued an
injunction which shocked the nation
with its severity and was designed
through the medium of equity iuris-
prudence, to palsy the efforts of the
workers and to stay the hand of labor
in its endeavor to bargain collectively.
He is directly responsible for the
reign Of lawlessness which has result
ed from the disgraeeful and un-
American manner in which the pro-
hibition enforcement office in Chicago
has been conducted. ,
AS contracted with these facts his
record on child labor, Waterways and
the budget, fades into insignificance.
We are all in favor of waterways and
budget, and against child labor.
, As a successor to Senator MeCor-
nick, former Governor Charles S.
Deneen has announced his candidacy.
Governor Deneen has invited US to
examine his public record as States
Attorney of Cook County, and as Gov
ernor OF the state. This will be done
as The campaign progresses. In both
positions his record was reactionary.
Inc people Of Illinois had all of |
Dieneen's record before them in 1912. |
II was fresh in their minds. He was
aneelslYeIy beaten upon that record. |
baI Whatever his record was at that
uhe, what Is manifestly more i'm
porant is, how does he stand on the
issues Of today? Mr.. Deneen was
Iound IN 1912, too reactionary by the |
people to invest him with further
power tie cannot come back in 1924, |
nneh Inc people, as never before, are
aroused and demanding constructive |
results at the hands of government.
Meeofmick, in 1912 and since, has |
pfVlessed progressivism. He ap-
piOaeheS the electorate in 1924 upon |
record OF reaction. Where the people |
nave nave recently spoken, they have re-
puaiated Newberryism. Mccormick
Is !. me me next Newberry Senator to go |
!" the voters for their verdict.
Il reactionary is to represent the |
f'. EfGple OF Illinois in the senate of the
6.d 66u'ed States, either Mccormick or
bp5heeh baii1 may be safely chosen. But |
Ve,i Oelese the people of Illinois want a
NJ" oeai' They are sick and tired of
