BRENNAN OPENS
RACE FOR TOGA
WITH DRY SLAM
Illinois Promises to Hold
Spotlight in Coming
Campaign.

By United Press
CHICAGO, March 12.-George E.
Brennan, heir to the political for
tunes Of the late Roger Sullivan, has
launched an aggressive head-crack-
ing campaign for United States Sena-
tor that promises to give the Nation
an example of what a real old-timer
can do when he finally goes out for
Office in his own name.
Since the 'big Democratic boss Of
the West" announced his candidacy,
he has swung his political shillalah
with such force over the head of
every possible opponent that the
Illinois senatorial race promises to be
the most interesting political event
of 1926.
Daily Blasts
Brennan shows up daily at his
Sherman Hote headquarters, after
leaving his desk in the United States
Fidelity and Guaranty Company.
Here he plans his strategic moves
1.-THE brokers in the church vote, the
professional reformers, the Better
Government Association, the Sena-
tors who have dry Threats and wet
bellies" and against William Gibbs
McAdoo and his immediate opponents
in the race for Senator, Col. Frank
l.. Smith and Senator William B.
Mckinley.
So far as Brennan Is concerned
there Is only one national issue in
the coming primaries and Senatorial
elections-prohibitio His candidacy,
In fact, Is principally an attempt to
focus the eyes Of the nation on the
necessity of repeating or modifying
the Volstead Act. His local issue is
home rule for Chicago
IT am not running for Senator to
get a job for anybody, lest of all
for myself" says Brennan. Nor
am I running on any form of gen
eralized bunk. I am running on two
important issues and meanwhile il
can help anybody out who de-
serves help I'm going to do it. The
evidence of crime. I even have

The two candidates for the Re-
publican Senatorial nomination

their fight on the world court and

for American adherence to the world
court and is busy defending his posi-
ton. Colonel Smith is conducting
what he calls an America first
campaign against the court with the
support OF Senator Borah Of Idaho.
But Brennan, the old timer, is con-
fident he can win by holding out
the alluring prospect Of beer.
Behind the scenes of Illinois
democracy and in national political
conventions the name of George
Brennan has been power for
twenty years. He is one Of the few
remaining practical politicians of
the old school.
He has sat in virtually every con-
ference OF national democratic lead
ers and knows every turn in the
rather winding road that his party
has Travelled through it's recent
failures. In the Madison Square
Garden convention Of 1924 Brennan
was at the helm of the presidential
candidacy Of Governor AL Smith of
New York, guiding Smiths destinies
through the long days Of the famous
convention battles.

Some Progress

Finally the courts have decided that Col.
Charles Forbes must spend few years in the
Federal prison a punishment for the meanest
crime committed since the
Forbes with others, looted the funds provided by
a grateful and generous people for the rehabilita-
ton of the boys who wounded and disabled
while fighting for the flag
With the memory of still fresh, the people
demanded that no expense be spared to give back,
if possible, something health and strength to the
young men who had left an a leg in France
or had returned with gassed lungs sightless eyes
There was one place where thought of econ
omy entered at that time.
The most shameful chapter in American history
followed the appropriation of these hundreds of mil
lions of dollars.
Forbes, with others, stole many of these mil
lions and a result many of these disabled veter-
ans of the World War to their graves for lack
of
They stole by padding the cost of sites and for
the building of hospitals
They stole when they bought medicines and it
is record that they stole the medicines, espe-
cially narcotic drugs and whisky, and sold them or
used them.
They gave demonstration of heartlessness that
is hard to equal to imagine.
They linked themselves with the ghouls who in
other days stalked among the dying fields OF
battle and stole their clothes.
Every techncality every trick Of delay, every
ingenuity in evasion was used to delay the penalty
for these men.
They had plenty of money and plenty of infu-
to block Justice But they did not have
enough.
They must serve their sentences at last. All of
which shows some progress. 1t is rather hard for
the law to Jail rich 1t is harder to break

More Speed

Once again the Postoffice Department of the
Government contributes to the of progress by
making air mail record between New York and
Chicago.
The fastest train between those cities requires
twenty hours. The airplane actually Travelled but
four hours and thirty-fve minutes. The total time
required but six hours
This mail plane had an average speed of 1853
miles hour for the entire distance.
Every development in transportation has
been followed by higher standards of living and
more general distribution of comforts.
In the early days, cities, such they were,
existed only on the banks of navigable water.
The first means of transportation a log,
which became sail boat when learned to think
and to use the winds instead of his muscles as
motive power.
He was chained to the sea and the river because
this water transportation alone offered him an out
let and an escape.
The locomotive brought the Development of the
plains and the praries.
The automobile is still working its transforma-
ton of habits and economics.
The State highway commission announces an ad-
dtona 900 miles of paved roads in the State as it's
goal for this year. That larger use of the
auto and the truck because of swtness and its con-
venience.
But the pioneering in air service is being done
almost exclusively by the Postohice Department

He is proving each day that it is a commercial
asset and reliable means of transporting mail
Each speed record made by his dependable 1iers
hastens the day when the airplane will be extensive

The man who pays extra fare to travel at the
rate of sixty miles hour will very be able to
travel for less money by airplane and cut the
time of his trip to one-third.
The day Of commercial aviation is just ahead and
the cities which welcome it will reap the reward for
their far sightedness just cities which subsidized
railways in their early development grew while the
laggard and the stingy found themselves reduced to

They KnOzO Jim

Was there design, just discretion on the part
of Gen. Dawes when he picked on Senator James
Watson as the bad boy to be punished for viola
ton of the Senate rule which says that Senators
must face the Vice President when talking?
Gen. Dawes you remember ordered the Indiana
Senator to face front and the reports OF that event
said that he finally stood con the bias"
The next day the fiery Jim Reed of Missouri
deliberately turned his back upon Dawes, talked
as long as he pleased and received no rebuke.
1t seems that the people back East understand
the Indiana Senator quite as we'll as he is under

At any rate, the Baltimore Sun, finding some
Significance in the episode, takes this fling:
1.-THE generals critics will say that the general
is wise man when it comes to picking some one
to discipline.
"But it may prove that Gen. Dawes has a
sense of the fitness of things Senator Watson, ex-
planning that the Senator with whom he was in
coloquy was in the opposite direction, stood on the
bias and talked in both directions.
Gould the Senator have assumed APP
propriate position? Was it not in consonance with his
entire political career? Who shall deny that Gen.
Dawes famed as artist no less than as a dis
ciplinaran and statesman foresaw Senator Wat
sons treatment of his demand and deliberately
sought the treatment because of its delightful SYM
bolic value
The one objection to such an explanation is that
Dawes also has something of a record as an expert
in efficiency and economy. He can not be suspected
of wasting even the time of the Senate.
Why should he have thought there any
necessity of recalling public attention fact about
Watson which is quite apparent and as we'll known
as his bulk?
But why should Watson worry? The home folks
know him. He knows they know him. He hears
more that old refrain Just like jim. AS he stands
