Senator Ashhurst, democrat of Ari-

In 1905, after a hard-fought battle,
Senator Harding was elected to the
city Council from the Second ward and
for ten years thereafter he was one
of its most valuable members. During
that length of time he served faithfully
on all of its most important commit
tees. In 1914 he was elected to the
state senate from the first senatorial
district of Illinois and succeeded in
making his presence felt in the upper
house of the Legislature of Illinois.
Senator Harding ranks with the best
business men Of the city. He is a
clean-cut, smooth polished gentleman
and always deports himself in this pol
ished manner. For four years he was
City Comptroller, and at all times
transacted the sworn duties Of that
Office right up to the mark and upon
leaving that Office he was presented
with beautiful gold watch by the en-
ployees of the Office, which he greatly
appreciated and wears all the time.
Senator Harding and the writer have

on Tuesday, November 2, that he will

Washington, D. c., Oct. 2o.-Sen-
ators Frank B. Willis, Republican, Of
Ohio, has record for demonstrating
his consideration for the masses of the
people, which antedates his present in
cumbency in the United States Senate.
In fact, it was Congressman Willis
and Governor Willis, who emphasized
Legislation and executive protectorate
of all the people all the time.
1t was during the first administra-
ton of President Woodrow Wilson,
Democrat, with democratic majority
in both houses Of Congress, that Con-
gresham Willis showed his mettle in
championing the cause of the under
dog. During the spring of 1914, when
the democratic administration was IN
sistently endeavoring to create mo-
lnopolistic wealth, Congressman Willis
openly defended the small producer
and protected him from a competition
which would ultimately have been dis
astrous. Willis fought the Trusts. adj
vocated pensions, and assisted in spon-
soring the Clayton act
