I'Vaiiiv Orren Lowden, a Representative in Congress from Illinois, was born at Sunrise, Chisago County, [Minnesota, January 26, ISHl. Sunrise was at that time a frontier outpost of civilization in the great Xorthwest. located near the Mississippi ri\er. He w^as born a few months previous to the opening of the Civil War, and a few years after the ad- mission of Minnesota as a State. His ancestors came from Scotland and Holland, and were rugged, sturdy, and strong back-boned, taking part in the Revolutionary War, and bravely fighting for the freedom of our country. His great-grandfather, Joshua Lowden, was born of Scotch parents in Vermont in 1783, and was a soldier of the War of 1S12. .\nother great-grandfather was John Lummis, of North Adams, Massa- chusetts, born in this country of English parents, and a soldier of the Re\olution. His grandfather, Orren Lowden, when twenty years of age, was married to Miss Jerusha Lummis, of North Adams, Massachusetts, the daughter of John Lummis. Orren Lowden, the true pioneer, left New England, and removed in 18:32 to what was at that time considered the remote west, the frontier — Erie County, Pennsylvania. Orren Lowden's son, Lorenzo Orren Lowden. the father of Frank Orren Lowden, was born in Erie County, Pennsylvania, and when fourteen years of age removed to the State of New York, but inheriting the westward migratory instinct of the hardy winners of the West, re- moved in 1853 to Chisago County. [Minnesota, wliere he opened a black- smith shop. Lorenzo Orren Lowden was married in Chisago County. Minnesota, on March 16. ls.-)6, to Miss Nancy Elizabeth Breg, formerly of Steuben County, New York, of good old Holland Revolutionary stock, from whom her son, has doubtless drawn the dauntless, dogged deter- mination that has ever marked the race. The\- were the parents of Erank Orren Lowuen, and when he was three years old. his father purchased a small farm near Sunrise, Minnesota. Although Governor Stephen Miller, of :\linnesota, appointed Lorenzo Orren Lowden as Alajor of the Eighty-fourth Minnesota Infantry during the Civil War, inability to pass the army medical examination kept him from active service. He was a pioneer farmer and country lawyer, obliged to struggle to support and educate his family. He was very poor finan- cially and had a hard time in keeping the wolf away from the door. The family resided on the farm near Sunrise, Minnesota, and operated it until the fall of 1868, wdien they removed to Point Pleasant, Hardin County, Iowa, where Lorenzo Orren Lowden again engaged in black- smithing. In 1869, or a year later, he took up farming near Point Pleas- ant. Erank Orren Lowden, the future statesman, was seven years of age when the familv removed to Iowa, and si)ent his early life nu his father's 14 TIIK SA(,F (IK SI.N'NISSU'PI. farm, his experience Ijeing much tiie same as that uf other farmer hovs. He assisted in tlie farm work in summer, ami attemled schndl during- the winter months. In the then pioneer da\s nf hiwa, farming was no easv task, and the tiller oi the soil hacl a hard struggle to ])ro\ide food and raiment for his family. It was a new, unhroken country, farm work during the summer, a beginning with which so many successful Amer- icans are familiar: to rise by night and drudge, to trudge in dead of winter to the rough, red-schoolhouse, where information was to be im- |)arted with the ^'<:'. being a son of the late Judge John M. Keep, wlm was (listini^uislied as one of the ablest jurists on the Circuit bench in southern Wisconsin. William B. Keep was eilucated in the high school at Beloit. and was graduated from Beloit College in lS7o. He then removed to Chicago, Illinois, and took up the study of law. He was a nephew (.it .\lberl Keep, former president of the Chicago and Xorlhwestern Railroad, and wa^ ai ■ .nc time general solicitor of that corporation. Prior to that he was attorney for the Lake Shore Road. He was one of the best known members of the Chicago bar, as well as a dashing clubman. In May. ISO:,', in conjunction with Frank Orren Lowden, he established the law firm of Keep & Lowden, which was dissolved on September 1, IS!)."!. He had one son. by his first wife, who was an adopted daughter of Alljert Keep, and he was also a practicing attorney in Chicago, although he did not make his home with his father. His second wife was visiting" at Galesburg, Illinois, at the time of his death. His end was sad indeed. Despondent over debts which had piled up on him as a result of fast living, he shot himself in the head, in his office iu Chicago, dying the next day, June 17, 1900, from the effects of the wound, at the Emergenc\- hospital. He was familiarl\- known as "Billv" Keep. This occurred many years after the dissolution of the law firm of Keep & Lowden. In 1S9S Frank Orren Lowden formed a new partnership with Henry Dodge Estabrook and Judge Herbert J. Da\'is, under the title of Lowden, Estabrook & Davis, which continued in existence until June, 1902, and was dissolved on account of Judge Davis" failing health and Mr. Esta- brook's removal to New York, This iirm took high rank from the start, its clients embracing all branches of business, industry and transportation. Attorney Lowden's services on behalf of many public movements and reforms being also freely given. He has long been a member of the American Bar Association, Illinois State B.ar Association, and Chicago Bar Association, and was president of the Law Club of Chicago. While distinguished for his sound judgment and conservatism as a counsellor,, it was rather as a trial lawyer and advocate that Attorney Lowden's greatest reputation was achieved. From the date of his admission to the bar for about twelve years following, he was almost constantly in court, with a rapidly increasing and important personal clientele. It has been said that during the years of his active practice, Lowden was as often in the courts as any other member of the Chicago bar. His keen and \'igilant conduct of a case, combined with his good nature, wit and repartee, made him a prime favorite with the juries: his thorough study and preparation earned him the contidence of the courts. A clear legal mind, judicial fairness and untiring energy combined to make him a great natural law- yer. His standing as a practitioner in the state and federal courts was second to that of none of his years at the Chicago bar, surpassed by none and equaled by few. The London Brief, a leading organ of the English legal profession, in ls;i4, inililislieil fixe columns nf an addre-^s li\- Atlnmey LMwden under the title of "l^'urensic Ethics," ami CMinnK-nted edit,( too in many singular instances. He therefore reluctantly abandoned the practice of law. in order to manage his steadily growing liusiness enterprises. .\s a lawyer he had been vevy successful, and at- tained great eminence at the bar. During the autumn of 1^94. while tra\eling on a vacation trip, Frank ■Orren Lowden met for the first time Miss Florence Pullman, daughter ■of the late George Mortimer Pullman, of Chicago. They were married ■on April :1'.K IS'.k;, at the Pullman mansion in Chicago, and have been blessed bv the birth of fom- children, three daughters and one son. The eldest, the son. I'ullman Fowilen. named in honor of his illustrious grand- father, was born [anuarv r-'d. isi)7. The second child. Miss Floi-ence Lowden, named for her mother, was born May 4. ls<),s. The third child. Miss Harriet h'.lizabeth Lowden. was born August 7, 1900. The fourth and voungest child. Miss Frances Orren Lowden. was born in December. I'.Ki;;. To the success already achieved by Attorney Lowden prior to his uiarriage. INL's. Lowden's beauty, personality and character added a fitting compliment. Endowed with every gracious gift, Mrs. Lowden's natural strength of character was developed by the most thorough train- ing and education. She came quite early under the influence and enjoyed the companionship of .Mrs. John Alexander Logan, loved and admired by e\ery son of Illinois, hrom childhood her tact, good sense and deep symp.athv made her beloved by all who knew her. -\t her instance there \vas established in St. Luke's Hos].>ital what is known as the l-dorence ward for piior patients, who were often visited personally by their young benefactress.

Pullman had had his .attention turned to devising some means for increasing the comforts of inght tra\el upon railways, and, in I So'.), he remodeled twd (jld day-coaches into a species of sleeping- cars, which were used upon the Alton Railroad. From ISCO to 1SG3 he spent in Colorado de\'oting his engineering skill to mining; but returning to Chicago the latter year, entered upon his great work of developing the idea of the sleeping-car into practical reality. The first car was completed and recei\ed the n;une of the "Pioneer." This car constituted a ])art of the funeral train w liich took the remains of President .Abraham Lincoln to Springfield, Plinois, after his assassination in .A-pril, 1SG5. The development of the "Pullman palace sleeping-car," the invention of the dining-car. and of \-estibule trains, and the iniilding up of the great industrial town which Ijears his name, and is now a part of the citv of Chicago, constituted a work of gradual development which resulted in some of the most remarkable achievements in the history of the nineteenth century, both in a business sense and in promoting the comfort and safety of the traveling public, as well as in bettering the con- ditions of workingmen. He li\-ed to see the results of his inventi\-e genius and manufacturing skill in use upon the principal railroads of the United States, and introduced upon a number of important lines in linrope also. Mr. Pullman was identilied with a numlier of other enterprises luore or less closely related to the transportation business, but the Pullman Palace Car Company, of which he was the founder, was the one with which he was most closely connected, and by which he will be longest rememljered. He was also associated with some of the leading education.al and benevo- lent enterprises about the city of Chicago, to which he contributed in a liberal manner durinsj" his life and in his will. He amassed ;in enormous TIIK SACK OF SIXMSSIPPI. fortune, beiny wurth many milliims of dollars. His death occurred sud- denly from heart disease, at his iKime in Chicago. Illinois. October 19, 1S97, aged sixty-six years. His brother. Rev. Royal Henry Pullman, was the Repuljlican mmiinee fur Congress from the third Maryland congres- sional district in IMMi, l)ut was defeated bv Congressman Harrv \\'elles Rusk. Democrat, who was re-elected. The candidate (.)f the Prohibition party was William J. H. Gluck. The f(_ill(iwing is the official vote of that contest : MARYLAND. THIRD DISTRICT. NOVEMBER -i. 1890. For Congressman, Harry Welles Rusk''' (Dem. ) Itl,!»l4 For Congressman, Rev. Royal Henry Pullman (Rep.) 11. •273 For Congressman, \\'illiam J- H. Gluck (Pro.) 444 It will thus lie seen that he was defeated bv .5,041 \-otes i)luralit\-, in a strong Democratic district, and in the overwhelming Democratic land- slide of that year. He is now deceased. On the death of George Mortimer Pullman, such was the confidence placed in Frank Orren Lowden, his son-in-law , that he was appointed as administrator of the vast Pullman estate, and as such performed the delicate duties of that position to the satisfaction of all concerned. Although Attorney Lowden's name appears upon the roster of several clubs, he is pre-eminently a home man. The health and happiness of his growing little children were large factors inducing the purchase of the celebrated Sinnissippi Farm in Ogle County, Illinois, where he now resides. Indeed this love of child life is so marked that one is tempted to quote the remarks of a political opponent, who said, regarding a recently delivered address : "Almost any fellow with fair personality and gift of gab and a subject so fat as the life of Lincoln might get up before an audience and accjuit himself in .n manner very acceptable, but it is not every fellow wdio is such a good fellow that he will stop to play with his precious children before going to his work in the morning, and I want to tell you that Frank Lowden, plaving with his children, is a much greater character to me than Frank Lowden, the soldier, the lawyer or the public speaker." The great commercial lawyer of to-day must posess all the traits of a successful business man. In fact, he is being more and more called upon to organize and direct vast enterprises and to surmount obstacles, for the conquest of which his trained legal mind has equipped him. This pliase of our industrial development draws upon the best talent obtainable, and Attorney Lowden has not escaped the operation of this economic law. Having climbed the ladder from the lowest round, his judgment of men is based upon direct contact with them in all walks of life, and not upon theory. His executive ability has lieen sought by all manner of business enterprises. His advice has e\er been in the direction of recogni- tion of modern economic e\dlution. .and urging thorough study of the TlIK SAGE OF SI>XISS1P1"I. causes of present day industrial conditions. Cliiet among- the \ital ques- tions has been tliat of organized labor, towards which his attitude has long been known. Perhaps the best proof of this is evinced by the following excerpts fruni public addresses: "The labor union became inevitable the very moment that the old familiar relation between the mechanic and his apprentice was eliminated. He who would destrov either the large corporation or the labor union is fighting against fate. The statesman who sets his face against the evolu- tion of" economic law is as futile and foolish as that philosopher who pro- posed a few vears ago to repeal the law of supply and demand. 'T recall that when labor began to organize in America, capital con- sidered a labor union a menace to the social order. That there have been abuses of labor unions, wise labor leaders of to-day will admit, but that they have accomplished an infinite amount of good none will deny. "Organized labor has jilaced upon the statute books the alien contract labor law. Organized labor by this not only secured a large measure of justice to itself, but it proved the character of .American citizenship. That law savs : If vou are worth}- of citizenship in America, if you come here l;ecause m:u want to breathe .Vmerican air. you will be welcome. If you con-ie sin'iply because you find it profitable to be a chattel under contract to an Ameiican employer, there is no room for you l)eneath the Stars and Str:i)<.;>. "Organized lal)or secured the enactment of the Chinese exclusion act. That this law has been for the benefit of our couin-ion country there is none now to deny. "Organized labor secm'ed the enactment of laws requiring emploxers of labor to use improved niechanical appliances, and thus has given us a new idea of the value of human life. "Organized labor has made the state acknowledge its oliligations to the child, and child labor is Ijecoming obsolete. L'nder the influence of organized labor the child, once a slave, is almost free. "No, my friends, we are going to have captains of industr_\- and cap- tains of labor. We cannot abolish them ; but we can, by rigid application of fundamental principles, make them both mighty, useful factors in the great industrial e\-i_ilution which is upon us. "I believe in the depths (if niy heart that this rei)ublic can claim no more useful citizens in the working out of our great industrial problem than its Sargents, its Arthurs, its Gompers, its John Alitchells, its Mor- gans, its Hannas — in other words, its great, brainy, broad-nfinded and just leaders of capital and lalxtr." When the Moselev commission of British labor leaders \-isited this countrv, none welcomed them n-iore heartily nor oft'ered then-i more op- portunity for observation and comparison than Attorney Lowden. They were his' guests at a dinner at the Union League Club, where leaders of capital and leaders of labor n-iet at the same board. It was, therefore. ^i.NXissirPi. mi surprise when the lal)i>r nr.i^anizatidiis of Chicagu im-ited .Attorney Lowden to deliver an address at their annual picnic in Septeml^er. lOo;;. On attaining his legal majority he enthusiastically espoused the cause and principles of the Repuhlican party. To some, politics means a scramble for office: to others, it is Imt the means hy which great reforms are effected and the progress of the principles of liberty and civilization advanced. Al\va)-s a Republican, for years Attorney Lowden's unceasing political activities have been exerted' for principles, not for men, and liave been those of the good citizen. His effort has l)een directed to arousing the civic conscience to the necessity of enforcing the law of honesty between citizens and the state, as well as between individuals, preserving the sanctity of the ballot, maintaining absolute liberty under the law and guaranteeing thorough freedom of opportunitw He would never accept political office for himself, believing that he could accomplish more for principle unfettered by office or the machinery of politics. At one time, when president of the old Seciind Ward Club, he resigned as a protest against certain methods then current. He has spoken in every campaign for greater ci\ic jturity. Xe\er a theorist. howe\er, and realizing as a business man the necessity for organization, his services have been rendered in co-operation with the duly constituted authorities of his party in the effVirt to make substantial gains for the right through the most practical means, lie was an early supporter of the work of the Municipal Voters" League, the Citizens' Association, the Civic Federation, the Civil Service Reform Association of Chicago, the National Civil Service Reform Association, and the Illinois Civil Service Reform Association, of all of which organizations he has been a wi irking nieml)er. As a speaker his time has been at the disposal of his party, b' nh in the citv of Chicago and throughout the State of Illinois. As a member of the political action committee of the Union League Clul), member of the Hamilton Club, member of the political action committee of tb.e Lincoln Club, member of the Marquette and Repulilican marching clubs, ,ind iither political associtions, he has lalmred in the same held, speaking at noondav and mass meetings. When war with Spain was im])en(ling. Attorney Lowden wa^ chau"- mrni of the political action committee of the Cnion League Club of ehicagd, and at the instance nf that committee a meeting of the club was called^and res.ilution^ offered by .\lr. Lowden were unanimously adoiited, l)ledging supimrt to the government and proxuhng for a war committee whose dutv it should be to ci-operate with the general g.ivernment and reniler aiiv aid willnn its jMiwer. This was the hrst action taken u])on this question in the West by any jir.imment civic body. Attorney Lowden was made chairman of the citizens' war committee, and until the close of the Spanish-. \merican war devnted the larger part of Ins time to the work of this committee. e(iuii>ping and ni.aintaining ijrovisi. inal military or<'anizations ready to serve upon a moment's notice, if needed, and THE SAGE OK SIN MSt-ll'lM. .MKS.

In recognition of tliese serxices, the hirst Illinois Infantry, tipon its return from Santiago, elected Attnrney Lowden as Lieutenant-Colonel, and the command was tendered to the government for dut\- in the Philippines. But the War Department decided to adopt annther phin for that service and consequently could not accept the offer. When the pacification of the Philippine islands was brought about. Col. Lowden realized that there would be little ojjjjortunity for active ser\-ice and conse(|iiently resigned his commission. Attorney Lowden's \ie\\ s on the spiritual as well as mental education of youth are emljodied in an address delivered at the semi-centennial cele- bration of the founding of Northwestern L'niversity, where, among other things, he said : "The university of the future must be enfolded in the soft atmo^jihere of religion. Religion has proven in America that it, like the individital, flourishes better under absolute freedom. Men approach their Maker in the closet who could not be lashed into a genuflection Ijefore some public altar. It is al-^o true that nn nation without religion can survive. Hu- manity will not go forward unless it keeps up its relations to the skies. It is tlie function of the university of the future to listen to all that science savs, and then compel science to confess that there is a Greater than all n'lan may know. The time is ripe for this. The old supposed conflict between religion and science ha^ reached its el)b-tide. That con- flict has produced this result: Religmn h;is learned a new humilitv. and science admits its limitations. The theologian has been comi)elled by science to confess that he did not read aright all the messages that the Bible brought. The scientist explains phenomena until he reaches a point where he sa\s God is still necessary to explain the universe. And so, I sav, the new university must lie wrapped in a religious air, bending ear to the earth to receive earth's messages, but with rapt, uiiturned gaze into the skies to receive messages from above." Attornev Lowden has never lost his interest in farm life, and in IJSOS he bought what was known as the Hemingway farm, near Oregon, Ogle Countv. Illinois. It is located on the Rock River, and i^ r^ch in history. The old stone house was erected in IstC, and the stoiio for the walls were taken from the river bank, and the black walnut wnodwork was cut and sawed on the place by .Mr. Ilemingway, a pioneer settler, who settled in that portion of liliiiois at a very early date. The place is known as Sinnissippi l-"arni. is conducted on a strictly business basis, and is well equiitped with suitable buildings and improved machinery. Especial attention is given to shi>rthorn cattle and to poultry. The herd is a large and growing one. and numbers many prize winners at various fairs and exliii)itions. The ])oultry departmeftj: is one of the most ex- tensixe in the We-t, and large shipments of poultry and eggs are made weeklv to Chicaijd ,ind other markets. Frank Orren Lowden was a farm- sixxissii'Pi. er's boy, he is a fanner, and he is proud of it, and nothing- gives hiin nuire pleasure than to sh- acres of lawn and flowers. To this place often iournev men high in the world of business (jr of politics. Entering actively into politics, he was elected as delegate to the Republican National' Convention which convened at Philadelphia. Penn- sylvania, on June l'.», 1900. He supported President \\'illiam McKinley for renomination as President of the United States, and Governor Theo- dore Roosevelt, of New York, f.u- \'ice-President, l)oth of whom were nominated by acclamation fur these respective offices by that convention. He was appointed as the Illinois member of the notification committee to notifv the Presidential candidate. President William .McKinley, of his nom'ination by that con\-ention. He was subsequently tendered by President \\'illiam ]\Iclvinley, the post >>i l-ir i .\ssistant Postmaster General, but declined, and was appointed and served on the national advisory campaign committee. We have now come to the jjoint in his illustrious career, in which his name Ijecame familiar throughout the United States, for the prominent part he played in the greatest of political battles — a State convention without a parallel in political history. He hacl on various occasions l)een prominently mentioned fur the oftice of Governor of Illinois, the highest elective honor within the gift of the people of Illinois. He had indeed been urged to become a candidate for the Republican nomination. Under a call by the Kepul)lican Count}- Committee of Ogle County, a mass meeting of Republicans of Ogle County, and in which every county in the thirteenth Illinois congressional district was represented, was held at the court house at Oregon, Illinois, on October 8, lOO:'".. The meeting was held in the Circuit Court roon-i. All the stores in the city had beeii filled with placards announcing the meeting in the following manner: "We will close from 1 :oO to :! :30. Everybody is for Lowden for Gov- ernor and will attend the n-ieeting at the court-house. Ladie- are ii-ivited." Republicans came from Ogle, Jo Daviess, Stephenson, Carroll, White- side and Lee Counties, to attend this announcement meeting.

He urged the nomination of a "business man with broad view and sound business judgment." He believed Colonel Lowden to be such a man. Justice Cartwright continued : He understands the laws of the state. He has character to sustain his convictions. The man who sells hnnself into political serfdom is just as corrupt as the man who sells his vote for a consideration. lUit Colonel Lowden has the force to carry out his convictions. If you were to select a man as the head of a big lianking institution, a great manufacturing en- terprise or a large commercial institution you would select Colonel Low- den because he understands the laws, his knowledge is wide, his success at the bar has been great and we know his princijiles to l»e right. Continuing, he said : Colonel Lowden does not regard the ofhce of governor as a purely personal one. The men he would appoint as heads of institutions would have to do their dutv. or answer to him. Take a little man who doesn't know anything al)Out business and he is lost in the whirl. -\ light man in the position of governor is like the light grain which falls at the tail end of a threshing machine." At the conclusion of other addresses Chairman Bacon submitted the following report in behalf of the resolution committee: . . .Rcsolvi'il bv the Repulilicans of Ogle Conntv in mass meeting assem- bled: That l-'rank ( ). Lowden is. ni our opinion, formed from years' of neighborly acquaintance with his high personal character and abilities, and from familiarity with his position and services as a Republican, eminentlv fitted for the office of governor of this state. And we. therefore, now re(|uest him to announce his candidacy and we give him the assur.ance of our hearty support. After the adoption of the resolution. Colonel Lowilen w;is escorted into the courtroom by Justice Cartwright. and intnuluced. Chairman Hitt informed him of the .action of the meeting, by reading the re>olution, and the audience gave him a hearty greeting. Colonel Lowden appeared somewhat emku-rassed and his \oice trembled iluring his opening re- marks. In response to this resolution which, had been unanimousl_\- ailo])ted. Frank Orren Lowden addressed the meeting and declared himself ;i can- THK SA(iK OF SIXNISSJPPI. didate for the Republican iiDininatiMii for GoxeriKir of IlliuDis, in tlie course of his address saying- : "When last spring it was suggested that I become a caiuUdate for Governor, I decided upon two things. First, that I would not be a candi- date unless the people of this section of the State should favor my candi- dacv. Second, that under no circumstances wnuld I l)ecome a factinnal candidate. I hail incurred no political ofiligatu ms to an_\- faction or anv indi\'idual in the partw I therefore had no political delits to jiay. It was urged upon me that m\- candidacv for this reason ought to tend to produce hariiioin- within the part\'. .\ sentiment was growing up within the ]iart\' that it was time to stop the pcilicv of extermination of one another and to direct attention t< i the common enemy. "Since that time the people of Xorthern Illinois hrne encouraged my candidac\- m most generous measure. 1 ha\e also recei\ed great encour- agement in Gook L"ount\-. and e\-idences of friendship in other sections of the State. .Such sujiport as has been offered to me has been absolutely independent of faction. I believe, therefore, that my candidac}- would help to jjroiiiote a better feeling within the party ranks. "For these reasons I cannot resist }'our request, and I shall be a can- didate for the nomination until the Repulilicans in State comeiitiou assembled shall choose their standard bearer for the next campaign. So far as lies within my power the campaign for the uoiiiination will be free from personalities. I shall lie a candidate fi>r the nomination : no/ Ui^aiiist any aspirant for the oftice. "If nominated ;ind elected, the constitution and the laws of the .State shall be ni)- guide. I fully realize that our State goxernment ci.Jiisists of three co-ordinate branches, cver\- one of which is su[)reme and independ- ent of the others within its sphere. "In all part\' matters Republicans of the se\eral sections of the .State should be permitted to speak for themseKes, without e-xecuti\e inter- ference. "I believe in the principle of the merit system of ]iul)lic appointments; but whether or not [>ositions .are in a classified ser\ice, merit should be the first recjuisite for aitpoinlment. "An ai)poiiitee's tenure of oftice should depend upon his loy.alty to the State, not upon his |jersonal de\dtion to the executixe. It is my ambition to be ( "io\ernor of Illinois, and not a party manager. "The best men that can be secured shimld compose the man;iging fxiards or trustees of state institutions, and lhe\- should be held soleh' responsible for the management of the same, \\holl\- tree from executive interference, except where Mich m.anageuient shall ha\e demonstrated incapacity or improper care of such institutiinis. In that event, e.xecu- tive interference should be limited to removal of the persons thus delin- (|uent. "I ha\e stated in brief some of the principles and policies which I concei\'e to lie fuutlamental in this matter and invite to their support all Republicans of Illinois, witlKiut reference to past alignments. ^INMSMI'l'l 29 "It I shdulil conic lo a puiiU where 1 would ni>l wclc. mic tlic sui)p(irt of every loyal Republican, I would doubt my RepublicaiuMn." Five other distin.q'uished oentlemen announced then- cainlidacies for the office of Governor, subject to the action of the Kepulihcan State convention. Governor Richard \'ates. w h< i-e adnunistration had been one of the l)est and most successful ni the history of the L;reat coninion- weallh County Judge and Gov- ernor.

Frank Orren Lowden was seeking his first political office at the age of forty-three years, being the next youngest of all the candidates, younger than Governor Yates by one and a half months, only. Deneen was the voungest and Col. ^^'arner the eldest. Four of the candidates were native sons of Illinois, while IMinnesota, Ohio and New York, were the native states of the remaining three. The candidacies of Low- den and Deneen were handicapped because they were both residents of Chicago, and as a matter of fact each having many friends and a large personal folowing. Cook County would undoubtedly be split up at the State convention. In the same manner the candidacies of Hamlin and Warner were at a serious disadvantage, owing to the fact that they both resided in the same congressional district, which would not only jeopard- ize their chances for the gubernatorial nomination, but also divide the district at the State convention. The candidacv of Frank Orren Lowden for Governor was supported by the following' well known men throughout the State, some of whom came to his standard just before the breaking of the famous deadlock: Speaker Joseph Gurne\- Cannon, L'nited States Senators Shelby Moore Cullom and Albert Jarxis Hopkins: Congressmen Robert Roberts Hitt, Charles Eugene huller, George Washington Smith, Howard Malcolm Snapp and William Lorinier ; State Senators Charles Hill Hughes, Cor- bus Plummer (iardner, and Richard J Barr ; Lieutenant-Governor Will- iam Allen Northcott: Judges Solomon Hicks Bethea, Kenesaw Moun- tain Landis, Richard Smith Farrand, James S.

In this closely contested se\'en-C(>rnered-race for the nomination, he hail, indeed, a brilliant array of sup]jorters many of whom cast their lot with his waning fortunes and followed him t(3 de- feat. They were willing to go to the "last ditch" with him. He was backed by men of eminence, up and down, and to and fro. in the great commonwealth of Illinois. In his campaign for the nomination Attorney Lowden visited many counties, and made numerous speeches which were well received. Among the counties visited by him were Jo Daviess, Winnebago, Boone, Lee. DeKalb. Ogle. Lake. Stephenson, AIcHenry, Carroll, Whiteside, Adams, Peoria, Rock Island, Knox, White, Edwards, Marion, Clinton, Madison. Greene, St. Clair, Johnson. Alexander, Eranklin and Randolph. Among the most important cities visited were Belvidere, Dixon, Sycamore, Mount Carroll, Amboy, Cairo, Quincy, Murphysboro, CarroUton, Ga- lena. Waukegan, Galesburg. Lawrenceville. \\'()odstock. Edwardsville. Oregon, Peoria, Chester. Rock Island, Pinckneyville, Moline, Polo, Rockford, Lanark, Sterling. Morrison. Rochelle. Ereeport. Nashville, Belleville, Savannah and East St. Louis. Most of the northern IlHnois counties were canvassed in the middle of the winter, and many of the overland trips were made when the thermometer registered in the vicinity of zero. Many of the counties he canvassed in detail, taking in the smaller \-illages. It was on one of these midwinter country trips that Attorney Lowden bought a pair of felt boots that became something of an issue in Carroll County, and to some extent all over the State. The incident was taken up by some of the opposition newspapers and it was charged that Attorney Lowden had liought the boots for no other pur- pose than to im])ress the rural population with the idea that he was a genuine farmer. At lirst he accepted the story as a campaign joke : but at length it became a serious issue and he took it uj) in his speeches. "I confess to having bought and to having wurn a pair of felt boots." he would sav. "The truth is that on a countrv dri\e on one bitter cold Tilt: sA(.i-: 111' Nr.NM.s.sii'i'i THE SAGE OF SINNISSirlM. o.i day I became chilled through and through, and upon arnxing at the next town I saw in the window of a store a pair of felt hoots, ft seemed to me that this was the time of year when felt hunts were a good thing- and I fesolved then and there that I would he the owner of a pair of them. I went into the store and for .$:,'..")(> 1 ohtameil possessi(.)n of that pair of felt boots. I put them on and W(ire them. If I had not done so I would have frozen my feet. I submit ti) ymi, my fellow citizens, that I did the right thing, and further, that the man wlm hasn't sense enough to wear felt boots under such circumstances hasn"t sense enough to be Governor of Illinois." This speech never failed ( ) capture the audience, and very soon the felt-boot story had drifted on' of the campaign. Coupled with the story of the felt boots was one to the effect that At- torney Lowden had donned overalls and a slouch hat and, with a corn- cob pipe between his lips, was mascjuerading" as a typical countryman from the backwoods. Of course the story was started as a joke : perhaps those who first told it ne\-er intended that it should be believed; l)ut, strange as it mav appear, the story fciund credence with many, aufl it was not until it had been ridiculed by Lowtlen in his speeches that it finally ceased to be repeated and to be believed. Another story told on him was that a man had recently visited his farm and had asked him "how high a six-foot rail fence was," and that the candidate had replied that he "didn't know, as he didn't have a rail fence on his farm.'" Stories of this kind were taken up by Attorney Lowden in his speeches as fast as he heard them ; and turned to his own account. One ijaper, in making light of his farming, came out in glaring headlines with the question ; ■A\'ho ever saw Col. Lowden milk a cow?' "I never have svipposed," Attorney Lowden would sa}' in his speeches, holding up a copy of the newspaper, "that the ability to milk a cow was one of the qualifications prescribed for a Governor. I am still of the opin- ion that there is nothing in the Constitution or laws of this State that makes cow-milking one of the duties of the Governor. But I want to say to you here and now that if I am mistaken, and if this contest is to be settled on that issue, I hereby challenge each and all of the other candi- dates to a milking contest, and I agree to abide by the result." This was his answer to the cow-milking ciuestion, and it invariably made a great hit with his audience. It was, perhaps, fortunate for Attorney Lowden that issues of this kind were raised: for they supplied an opportunity to inject into his speeches a vein of humor and satire which had been lacking in the addresses made in the first weeks of the campaign — addresses in which he had confined himself principally to an earnest and logicai statement of his ideas of how a Governor should discharge his duties. The "farmer issue" brought him to a more p/opular gait, and his speeches invariably made friends and converts for him. Attorney Lowden, in his campaign tour, depended entirely upon the regutor railroad accommodations, and frequently he was obliged to get up in the middle of the night to make a train, and then to wait in an ice- J',4 Tin: .sai;k iif sinmssii-im. cold Station for a couple of hours for a belated train. He generally con- soled himself with the thought that one or more of the other candidates were probably having a similar experience at that very moment. In common with' the other candidates, he w^as obliged frequently to put up with the most indifferent hotel accommodations. It is related that on one occasion, stopping over night at a hotel in a country town, he was later in arising than was the custom in that village hostelry, and when he ar- rived at the dining-room door at s :03 he was confronted by the land- lady, who told him in resolute t(Mies that the breakfast hour was over. He'made a plea for a departure from the rule in this single instance, but the landlady was unyielding, and it was only after the influence of some bystanders had been exerted that she was persuaded to provide the candidate for Go^'ernor with a cuj) of coliee and some of the remnants of the breakfast which was o\er. Attorney Lowden \\ as accf)mpanied on his campaign tour by Russell Harrison Scott, i>ne of his secretaries. ]\Irs. Lowden joined him on one of his Southern Illinois tours, and shared the honors paid him. The Lowden campaign in Cook Count}' was in charge of Kenesaw Mountain Landis, a Chicagv) lawver, and a brother of Congressmen Charles Beary Landis and iM-ederick Landis, of Indiana. The management of the country campaign was entrusted to State Senator Charles Hill Hughes, of Dixon, who spent much of his time at Lowden headquarters on "J" floor at the Great Northern hotel. At these headquarters also were James R. Cowley, of Freeport, a well-known newspaper man, who had especial charge of' the press bureau: Maj. Hamilton R. Johnstone, Attorney Low- den's secretary, who assumed charge of the extensive correspondence incident to the campaign, and State Representative Charles Thompson Cherry, of Kendall County, who assisted in the general management of the cainpaign. .\ \-ast amount of Lowden literature was distributed, both in Chicago and thr. xigh the State at large. Not less than 200,000 pieces of printed matter were sent out, and this mass of literature was supple- mented from week to week by the stereotyped plates that were sent under the direction of Mr. Cowley to the country papers that were friendly to the Lowden candidacy. In the number of the personal letters written, Yates and Lowden were close rivals. Lowden's clerical force occupied an extensive suite of rooms in the Great Northern hotel, and a large part of the work consisted in getting out the personal letters that were to be sent out over his signature. llie charge of "machine" support that was made against Attorney Lowden rested on the fact that he had the support of what was known as the Cook Countv •■machine" or organization, dominated by Congress- man William Lorimer. the king-pin of C()y machine politicians, Dr. Thomas Nevin jamieson and others. He freely admitted that Lorimer and his organization were for him and said that he would welcome the support of all Republicans, whether they be called "machine" or "anti- machine" men. Attorney Lowden, in his Chicago speeches, took ocasion >AGE OF SIXXISSIPPI. to answer tlie accusation that liad l)een made against him freel\- in the com-se of tlie campaign, tliat money had l)een used improperl\- in pro- moting his candidacy. He said: "'\Miy, here's a sample of the pohtics that is played against me. Last autumn a story came to my ears that it would be charged that I was using money illegally to secure the nomina- tion. Now, mind you, the story reached my ears that I would be charged with using money whether there was any foundation for it or not. And the same people told that story that are telling it now. Now. let me tell you this : I ha\-e an ambition to be Governor of Illinois, but I will sacrifice that ambition in a minute if to realize it I must spend ime dollar in a man- ner that the world can not know aljout it. l'"or \-iiu must realize that I must live with myself." The Republican State conxention convened at the new State Armorv building at Springfield, on May 12, 1904. Frederick H. Rowe, the Chair- man of the Republican State Central Committee, called the convention to order. Rev. George H. Simmons, of Peoria, offered prayer. Speaker Joseph Gurney Cannon was chosen as temporary, as well as permanent chairman of the convention. When nominations were in order for the office of Governor, Judge Henry D. Laughlin, of Chicago, arose and placed in nomination Frank Orren Lowden, who was therefore accorded the honor of being placed in nomination first of all the candidates, for the consideration of the convention. State Treasurer Frederick A. Busse. of Chicago, presented the name of Charles Samuel Deneen. State Senator Orville Frank Berry, of Car- thage, nominated Lawrence Yates Sherman, while Judge F. AI. Shonk- wiler, of Ab.nuicello, presented the name of Col. \'espasian \\ arner. Wal- ter C. Headen. of Shelbyville, nominated Howland Joseph Hamlin. John R. Davis, Mayor of Jacksonville, placed in nomination Governor Richard Yates. The convention was composed of 1,502 delegates. T.")2 votes being necessary to a choice. A prolonged deadlock resultetl, and the cotivention adjourned on May 20, 1904, and reconvened on Alay 31, 1904. The deadlock was broken and a nomination was finally made on June 3, 1904, Charles Samuel Deneen, of Chicago, being the \ictor on the seventy-ninth ballot.

Lowden had come over to the con- vention for the afternoon session in good spirits, notwithstanding the approaching defeat. Just before the convention was called to order he appeared for a moment on the platform to shake hands with Mrs. Low- den and a number of friends. Then he descended to the convention floor. While the speeches of withdrawal were being made, and while the seventy- ninth l)allot was in progress, he (laced the floor in the rear of the platform, in comj)anv with Kenesaw Mountain Landis and two or three others of his lieutenants. As the call of the counties went slowly along he occa- sionally paused for ;i moment to listen l)reathlessly to the response of some countv in which he had a ])articular interest. As the half-way county was jjassed, glour federal ci institution was adoptetl. It was believed by the wise men of that day that power could not be safely reposed in one man or in one branch of the govern- ment to make the laws, to interpret the laws ami to execute the laws, that those functions should ije divideil and that rui independent depart- ment should lie created, charged uith the sole responsiljilitv in each of those several spheres. "How well those wise men w rought is liest e\idenced b)- the fact that we are well on in the second century of our national existence. L'p to the time of the American republic a republic \vas but a dream. There has been republican forms of government Ijut they could not endure, and we have shown to the world the first great republican form of government which seems to the most timid to be as enduring and permanent as any form of go\'ernment e\er invented. That, 1 sa}-. is the ver\' fundamental principle of our bederal Government, and when the men who fr.imed the present constitution of Illinois met, it is natural that thai should lie the cornerstone (jf our State Constitution, if an\' i me of tin >^e men w bo ,e names are appended to the State Constitution could ha\e anticipateil th;',t a practice would grow up in Illinois 1)_\ which the (~io\ernor would use the power of his office in interfering with the organization of either branch of the Legislature, or to interfere in an}- other way with the dis- charge of the duties of the Legislati\c department, that signer would have branded such possible act as treason to the State Constitution Ijecause such act is against the principles uixm which the Constitution rests. ■il.N'XI^SU'l'I. "If elected Governor of Illinois I will make a statement before I have time to be corrupted in politics, which statement will declare that I shall not use the power of my office in any way to organize either the House of Representati\es or the Senate, that I shall not attempt to use the power of my office to most remotely affect the acts of any member of either of those independent bodies. "Now then, what is the result? As I say, I am not criticising any indi- vidual, because this practice has been growing up for a number of years. There is no one who is held responsible for it, it is the system to which I am addressing myself, but what is the result? When a high official, no matter of how excellent character, no matter of how- exalted position, finds it within his power to de\-iate in the slightest degree from the letter of the law it undermines the confidence of the whole people in the sacred- ness and integrity of the law. "The position of Governor of Illinois is a business proposition almost exclusively. \\'e have large State institutions. Those institutions are supposed to be governed by State boards. You know that if in a private business the head of that business, after he had appointed a man in some position, would dictate to that man every subordinate appointment, that such business would soon drift into bankruptcy. If I am elected Gov- ernor of Illinois I shall appoint the best men I can get to serve on these several boards. I shall send for them and I shall say that they will have executive interference only on one condition, that is if they do not manage those State institutions along business lines; that as long as they manage those institutions along business lines that it will be my duty and my disposition to absolutely hold hands off, because in that way only can those institutions be managed wisely and well and ecrM:i:x. (Jiivrniiir .if llliiKiis THE SACK OF SINNISSII'PI. 45 Badger were to ask one tjf those men to lca\e his desk for a month and go off on some personal mission of his own, would you regard that Mr. Badger was strictly within the line of his duty to that corp(_)ration ? There is absolutely no distinction lietwcen that and the cniploNce of the State being regarded as in some sort of way the i)ers(inal chattel of the chief executive. This s_\-stem has been growing up. also, for years. Loyalty means what? It does not mean friendship for someone to whom friend- ship is not due, it means the sacred discharge of obligation. What is the obligation of an employee of the State? It is to discharge the duties of the office to which he is appointed, and the moment he departs from that he ceases to be lo}-al, no matter how great his personal de\-otion is to the party chief. "Xow, my friends, these are some of the fundamental principles which I belie\'e should absolutelv control the G()\"ernor of this State. I think the time has come wdien we must restore these official positions to the dignity which they once occupied. I believe that can only be done b}- a di\-(irce between the business of the State and the politics of the State. I believe the man who will go down to Springfield, sit at his desk, ascertain where the law leads and then follow it, I believe there is an opportunity to render a \ery, indeed an inestimable service to the people of Illinois, and if I am elected Governor it will be my purpose every moment to act along the lines of these fumlamental principles. "I would rather be Governor of Illinois for foiu" years, Governor in fact L-vevy minute of that time, with no master but my conscience and the law, than to remain in public life all my life and depart from one of them for even one minute. Let us recollect what it means. Let us think for a moment of the cost which this Government of ours has been to. Why, the American Republic had its birth in this doctrine that the law- must be maintained. '\\'hile our forefathers protested against the course of Great Britain it did not protest against anything else except the. sacredness of legal right. They did not ask for independence, they did not dream of freedom except freedom under the British Constitution, but they insisted, as they read that Constitution, that under it they could not be taxed without representation, and for that simple legal principle they went to war against one of the proudest nations of the world. Note the distinc- tion laetween that revolution and the French revolution. The one was waged simply in the name of legal right. The other was with high- sounding phases upon the lips. Note the dift'erence in the final result. The French revolution, fought not for a simple and single legal right but to realize the dreams of the poet. The French re\-olution in a few years passed from the delirium of revolution into the adulation of a mere man, and then his star sank in blood at Waterloo, wdiile this revolution of ours, this American Revolution, has gone on through one glorious ceniury and well on into the second, until this simple legal right which was its cause has mounted up to the battle cry of freedom. "Let me give vou another illustration of what I mean. For vears TIIK SAGE OF and years and _\-ears the sla\-e (|uestion had Ijeeu the great problem Ijefore tlie American people. Phillips declaimed, Garrison thundered from the pulpit, writers wrote and dreamers dreamed. All sorts of remedies were suggested, every man had a recipe which would cure, except one, and that was a plain lawyer from Illinois named Abraham Lincoln. Wdien Lincoln was asked what his remedy was he was silent: he onlv knew that the law must be maintained in its integrity, whether it made for or against slavery. He did not advise the separation of the two in the interest of freedom, he did not advise the repudiation of a single guarantee under the Constitution. He adnu'tted, mournfully, it is true, but candidly, though his heart was tender as a babe's, he admitted that under the Constitution the people of the South were entitled to a fugitive slave law. horrible as such law was to his sensitive conscience. He onlv knew that scimehow. somewhere, under the guidance of a mysterious power aljove, if he met the immediate duty n\ the hour, if he passed along lines mI law and (jrder and truth, that somehow, somewhere, an opening would come through which he might see the light. He believed that this country could not permanently endure half slave and half free and he did not think it was going to become all slave, but when asked how the problem could be solved he had no. word to reply. Then he was elected President, and Oh, the pathos of those months that intervened between his election and his inauguration, more tragic, infinitely more tragic than that black night in \^'ashington when the nation mourned and wept al> state the plain fact that my residence was in Chicago, that I spent a \-ery considerable proportion of my time, an increasing proportion of my time, at my place in Ogle Countv, but since they seem to distort what I say. some of mv detractors. I want to enlarge a little bit upon the facts. What is it that makes home? If we can agree upon that proposition it is easy to determine whether m\ home is in Cook County or in Ogle County. It is true I ^•ote in Cook County. 1 do a good deal of hard work in Cook Countv and I have for a great many years, but if you mean by home the place where \(iur affection rests, if you mean by home the place you like to think of in connection with your wife and children, if you mean by home the spot where you want to go when weary with the foolish wrangle of the forum and market place, if you mean by home that place where you like to think of your children's children playing, living and loving, if you mean bv home the place where you want to see the western sun setting in your life's decline, if you mean by home that place where all the hallowefl memories gather, then, my friends, my home is in the Rock River Valley." Great applause followed the conclusion of this lofty address, and immediately thereafter he held an informal reception, shaking hands with most "all his auditors. Such was the tone, the loftiness, and the brilliancy of his addresses throughout the State, during his campaign for Governor. Wherever he a])peared, even when on the stump, he was a pronounced success. He belonged to the most effective type of the political orator. His language was simple and direct ; his reasoning was clear and conclusive; his humor was kindly, but effective. He had had years of training at the bar and had the gift of readiness. Xo questioner was able to "floor" him. His speeches were well tempered and free from personalities. Off the stump he was what the politicians called a good "mixer." His manner had the quality of cordiality. His handshake had meaning in it. He was open and frank of speech. He appeared to haye none of the politician's guile, and was a "captivating fellow." He had magnetism such as half a century before had attached thousands of men to Stephen Arnold Douglas, the "Little Giant," as his life-long friends. He was ranked among the wealthiest men of the State of Illi- nois; but this fact proved no obstacle to his popularity with the masses. I herewith gi\-e a brief sketch of the life of his victorious rival in the State convention of 1904. the Republican nominee for Governor of Illi- nois. Charles Samuel Deneen, of Chicago : CHARLES SAAIUEL DEXEEN. Charles Samuel Deneen, the twenty-fifth Governor of Illinois, was born at the home of his uncle, Hon. Andrew W. Metcalf, at Edwards- ;K of SIN.NMSSllTI. ville, Madison County. Illinois. May 4. isti.'!. He was hrou.i^iit up at Lebanon, St. Clair County. Illinois, and conies of one of the oldest fam- ilies in tlie State. His g-reat-grand father, Risdon Mofire. a native of Delaware, came to St. Clair County, Illinois, from Georgia in 1812. He was a soldier in the Revolutionary War. Mr. Moore left Georgia on account of his hostility to slavery. He brought with him to Illinois, all of his slaves and at once gave them their freedom, and estalilished them" in business. He was Speaker of the Illinois House of Representatives in the Territorial Legislature of 1814, serving in that capacity from Xovember 14, 1S14, until December 2. 181(3, being succeeded as Speaker by George Fisher, of Randolpli County, who was also his predecessor. SpeakerMoore had the great honor of being elected to the First General Assembly on the admission of Illinois as a State in 1818, being chosen as Speaker pro tempore during the absence of the Speaker, John Messen- ger, also of St. Clair County. He was re-elected in 1820, and again in 1822, serving in the Fir.s't, Second and Third General Assemblies, from October 5. 1818, to Xovember 15, 1824, being succeeded by his son, Risdon Moore, Jr., in 1824. In the Legislature of 182:1. he was one of the most acti\e men in opposing the calling of a constitutional convention for the purpose of changing the constitution and making Illinois a slave State. He was also "the first of the two men who signed the minority report which opposed the calling of such convention, and wliich demanded the total abolition of slavery at that early day. Because of this, on his return from the Legislature he was burned in effigy at Tro>-. Madison County, but in the following election, he was again chosen after a bitter contest, as a free state member of the Legislature. He was one of the early legislators of our great State, and a man of ability and sterling worth. Governor Deneen's grandfather. Rev. William L. Deneen, was born at Bedford. Bedford County, Pennsylvania, October ;]0, 1T98. He came to Illinois in 1828, and for nineteen years thereafter \vas a Methodist minister in Southern Illinois. His first appointment was the Shoal Creek circuit, which included the counties of St. Clair, :\Ionroe, Clinton, Marion, :\Iadison, Bond, Jersey, Fayette and Greene. His other appoint- nieots were Salt Creek Circuit. Lebanon Circuit. Kaskaskia Circuit, Brownsville Mission, Waterloo Circuit. Edwardsville, Belleville. Upper Alton. Alton, again at Belleville, Waterloo and Lebanon. On account of a severe illness in 1847, he was compelled to abandon public speaking and engaged in the business of surveying land, which he pursued to the time of his death, in 1879. He was County Surveyor of St. Clair County from 1849 to 1851, and again from 1853 to 1855. Governor Deneen's father, Samuel H. Deneen, was born near Belle- ville, St. Clair County, Illinois, December 20. 1835, and was brought up at Lebanon, where he graduated at AIcKendree College, a Methodist institution located there. He was professor of Latin, and ancient and medieval historv in that institution for thirty years. :\IcKen(lree Col- THE S.\CE OK SINIS'ISSIPPI. lege is the eldest educatidual institution in the State. He was adjutant of the 117th Ilhnois Volunteers during the Cixil War. and later was United States Consul at Belleville. Ont^ariM, under President Benjamin Harrison. He married Miss Mary Frances Ashley, who was descended from one of the oldest families at Lehanon, where she was born. Andrew W. Aletcalf. of luhvardsville. an uncle of the Governor, was elected 'State Senator from the old i-"iftli Senatori;d District, serving as such from Januarv :J, isf,:,, till January 4. 1m;'.I, being a member of the Twentv-f(iurth and Twenty-fifth General Assemblies. Charles Samuel i;)eneen was educated in the public schools at Leba- non, and at McKendree College, where he graduated from the classical course in 188:2, and fnou the law course in issr,. He became one of the trustees of that institution. His parents believed in the discipline of hard work, and from his early childhood he was accustomed to all the ordinary kinds of farm labor. After graduating he taught country schools for three vears, one term near Xewton in Jasper County, this State, and two terms' near Godfrey, Madison County, this State. While teaching he .studied law at niglit, and in 1885 came to Chicago to complete his law studies. He attended the Union College of Law, ( now^ Northwestern I, aw School) for ten weeks, but was unable to complete his course on account of lack of funds, so tirst he sought employment with law firms in Chicago, but be'mg a stranger he was unsuccessful in his attempts, but finally one dav he niet a lawyer from St. Paul, Minnesota, wdio offered him a job at the munificent salary of $;!<» a month. He accepted at once, and clerked in this law office for nine months. He returned to Chicago in September. 188ii, and chose Englewood as his place of residence, where he has since lived, lie secured a position in the evening schools at Chicago, and for four years taught in the Chicago Evening Public Schools at Polk and Halstead streets, thus solving in the main the bread and butter problem, and leaving the days free to continue the work of becoming a practicing lawver. After a time he spent these days in the Criminal Court, devoting them to defending prisoners who w-ere too poor to pay for legal assistance. The work brought him no monetary reward, but it enabled him to slu-)W what he could do, and wdiat was of even more value to him, it afforded him an opportunity to prove unto himself his own powers. His confidence in his own ability had not been misplaced. His de- termination increased. He secured a jilace as a law clerk ui the office of Master-in- Chancery Waller and made rapid progress in his profession, becoming a memlier of various law firms, his first con- nection being with the firm of Dikeman & Deneen. He ne.xt formed a law partnership with Willard Milton McEwen, who later became judge of the Superior Court of Cook Count)-. The firm of Deneen & McEwen was eventually succeeded by the formation of the firm of Blanke, Chy- traus & Deneen, which was in time succeedcil by Chytraus & Deneen, on the elevation of George F. l'.l;mke to the bench of the Sui)erior Court of THK SAGE OF STNXIS.SIPPI. 51 Cook County. Axel Chvtraiis, who was of Swetlish descent, was also elevatecL to the Superior Court hench of Cook County, so Deneen next formed a law ])artnership with Charles Humphrey Haniill, which termin- ated with the election of Mv. Deneen as Go\'erncir. He was married to Miss Bina Day Maloney, tlaughter of James S. Maloney, a farmer of Carroll County, Illinois, on May 10, ls91. Four children were born unto them — one son, Charles Ashley, and three daughters, Dorothy, Frances and the baby. He and Mrs. Deneen be- came members of the First Methodist Episcopal Churcii of Englewood, and were active in religious affairs. He first entered politics in 1890, being elected to represent his ward in its city and county Repulilican committees, which position he held fourteen years in succession, until elected Gr)\ernor. In iMtl he was elected to represent h.is congressional district on the State committee, serving in this capacity until 1904, a period of ten successive years, until his promotion to the executive ofifice. At one time he was \-ice-chairman of the Cook County central committee. In 1892 he had the good fortune to be nominated for Representati\-e to the State Legislature from the Second District, by the Republican partv, Robert Mc^Iurdy being chosen as his colleague on the ticket. The Democrats re-nominated Michael Alclnerney and William J. Kenney. The Prohibition party chose William H. Craig as their candidate, while the nominee of the Peoples' Party for the same position was Philip How- ley. The district was generally Democratic, 1)ut in this contest both Deneen and McMurdy, the Republican nominees, were successful, the former leading his ticket. Kenney was defeated for re-election on the Democratic ticket. In the same election. Perry A. Hull, the Re- publican nominee for the State Senate in this same district, was defeated by Charles Porter Johnson, the Democratic candidate, by a ])lurality of nearly 1,000 votes. The following was the vote of the district : Illinois Second Sen.\tori.a.l District, November S, 1892. For Representative, Michael Mclnerney* (Deiu. ) 15,172>4 For Representative, Charles Samuel Deneen* ( Rep. ) -11,470>^ For Representative, Robert McMurdy* ( Rep. ) 41,101 For Representative, William J.

Philip Howley ( Peo. ) 921>^ Mr. Deneen was very popular with the people, and his election in a Democratic district was a personal \-ictory. This was his first office, and he was but twenty-nine years of age. Mclnerney was re-elected. He was a member of the Thirty-eighth General Assembly, serving from January 4, 1893, to January 9, 1895. The House was Democratic by a small majority, Clayton Edward Crafts, of Austin, being elected Speaker. Deneen took a conspicuous part in the deliberations of this body, and proved himself a champion of the people's rights, greatly distinguishing himself as an able legislator. In the House, he served with the following, all of whom made efficient records in public life: William W. Wheelock, John Meyer, later Speaker of the House; Angus- ■.E OF SINMSSIPPI. tu^ W. Xohe, Robert H. Muir, Daniel Alexander Campl)ell. Lars Mag- nus Xoling. Tames Philip Wilson, John C. McKenzie, Samuel E. Erick- son. Edgar C. Hawley. Charles Page Bryan. Freeman P.

Stringer, his wnrthy Democratic rival in the election for Governor; Capt, Roliert L. McKinlay, James Park McKee. Homer J. Tice. Thomas F". Ferns, candidate for Lieutenant-Governor on the ticket with Stringer in 1904: William L, Mounts, Edward L. Merritt, James H. Watson, Ethelbert Callahan, William H, Snyder, Jr., and \\'alter Warder, not to mention many other lesser lights. At the end of his term, he refused a renomination, and decided to ilevote himself to his law practice. However, in 189.1. he was elected .\ttornev for the Sanitary Board, but resigned this position paying a salarv of $.5,000 per annum in 1896, when nominated for State's Attor- ney of Cook County. The Republican County convention of Cook County met at Battery D, February 15, 189 (I, Alartin Barnaby Madden being elected temporary and also permanent chairman of the convention, William Lorimer, then chairman of the County committee, and also a member oi Congress, placed in nomination Charles Samuel Deneen for the office of State's .Attornev. and he was nominated by acclamation, although Edwanl Thomas Giennon had also aspired to this office. The Democratic party renominated Jacof-) J. Kern, who had held the office of State's Attorney for four years, and was also endcirseil li\- the Peo- ples' partv convention. A number of Democrats, who were dissatisfied with the platform and candidates, held an Independent Democratic con- A-ention, Saturday, June i:!, \vith Moses James Wentworth. as chairman. Lvnden Evans was chosen as the candidate frir State's Attorney. The Prohibitionists placed in nomination John H. Hill for the same office, while the Socialist-Labor party chose Thomas J. Morgan, the noted agitator, as their candidate. Airs. Kate Kane Rossi, a lady attorney of marked ability, became an Independent candidate for State's Attorney, being a notable figure in the contest. An exciting campaign was waged bv all parties, and when the ballots had been officially counted, the victory was awarded to Charles Samuel Deneen by an overwhelming majority. He led his ticket very handily, and received nearly as many votes in the county as did that popular idul of the people, Maj. William McKinley, the Presidential candidate. The following was the official vote for the office of State's .Attorney : Cook County. Xovember 3. 1890. For State's Attorney. Charles Samuel Deneen* (Rep.") 321,209 For State's Attorney, Jacob J.

Deneen was given the rousing plurality of T-lr,l-4S votes over Rcri/, the present incumbent, and the fusion candidate, and this was the largest plurality given any candidate on the ticket, surpassing McKinley's plu- rality over Bryan I'ly more than four thousand votes. He had a majority of 65.650 over the combined vote of ail the other candidates, and his great popularity with the masses was attested in this election. He was inaugurated as State's Attorney to succeed Jacob J. Kern on Monday, December 7'. 1S!M!, together with the other officers elected on the ticket with him. The Republicans in county convention in 1900, renominated State's Attornev Deneen by acclamation amid great enthusiasm. The Democrats nominated Julius Goldzier. a former Representative in Congress, and a very strong candidate, to oppose Deneen. For a second time, Thomas J. Morgan was chosen to compete with the able State's Attorney, this time as tlie nominee of the Social-Democrats. Walter D. Hawk was nominated by the Prohibition party, while the Single Tax party placed \\'alter F. Cooling in the field as their choice. The People's party nominated C. H. P>ecker as their candidate for the same office. After a heated campaign State's Attorney Deneen was re-elected by a plurality of :26.013 over Goldzier. receiving the highest vote of any candidate in Cook County, even surpassing the vote given President McKinlev In- a large margin. President McKinley had a plurality of 17.567 over Bryan in the same election, many thousand votes short of Deneen's plurality. The latter had a majority o\-er all his opiionents of 13.894 votes. He was indeed popular with the masses. The following was the official vote of the election : Cook Couxtv, November 6. 190o. For State's Attorney. Charles Samuel Deneen* (Rep.) •205.709 For State's .-\ttorney, Julius Goldzier (Dem.) 179,696 For State's .\ttorney, Thomas J. Morgan (Soc. Dem.) 6,227 For State's Attorney, Walter D.

Alorgan was indeed surprising. Deneen served as State's Attorney from December 7, 1896, until December 5. lOU-t. a ])erio(l of eight vears. being succeeded by John J. Healy. During his term of office as State's Attorney he was called upon to prosecute many important cases, some of which have attracted national attention, among which were the following: Adolph Louis Luetgert. Emil Rollinger. August Becker, Christopher Merry and Michael Synon, wife murderers. Theodore Schintz. lawyer and real estate broker. George A. Weimer, Supervisor of Lemont. \\'illiam S.

To assist him in the accomplishment of this great volume of workMr. Deneen had at his command fifteen assistant State's Attorneys, a foi-ce of stenographers, and two detectives regularly assigned from the city police iorce, and others as the rec[uirements might be. JJecause of its wide jurisdiction, the Criminal Court of Cook Oninty. in volume of business and miniber of coiuictions. is the greatest criminal tribunal m the world. On assuming the duties ni State's .\ttorney on December I, 1896, he made the following statement, which was inihhshed at the time in the press : "I mean that the State's .\ttorney's office shall be conducted according to the law. ddie indicted man against whom there is sufficient evidence to warrant a belief in his guilt under the lav,, will lie tried no matter what his social position, religion, politics or color.

Although even younger than his Republican opponent. Stringer had made a good record as a legislator, and was a leader in his part\-. He had been elected as Representative in the Illinois General Assembly when onl\- twenty-three years of age, took rank with the leaders nf his party immediately, and served in the Thirty-eighth General Assemldy with his \icti)ri(ius Republican rival. In 1900 he was elected to the State Senate, and in January, l!»(t;!. was the unanimous choice for minority leader, and the Democratic candidate for president pro tempore of that Ixidy. In I'.io-,' he was chosei: as temporary and also permanent chairman (if the Illinois Democratic State convention. He made a strung canvass of the State, and personally was very popular. The Prohibitionists con\ened at Springfield on May r25. 1904. Eugene W. Chafin being chosen tempor.ary chairman and Rev. Oliver Wayne Stewart, a Representative m the Illinois General Assembly, being elected as permanent chairman, Robert Howard Patton, an eminent attorney of Springfield, was nominated as the candidate for Governor, receiving 557 votes on the first ballot, to i:!(.i votes for James Ross Hanna, of Monmouth, A great number of delegates left for home before the ballot was taken, believing II anna \\(iu]d have no trouble whatever in being nomin.ated, and were surprised when they heard Patton had been chosen. The St;ite convention of the Socialist ])arty was held at Peoria, on April 17, 1901, there l)eing rir.O delegates in attendance, E H. Lind- gren, of Chicago, was the chairman of the convention. John Collins, of Chicago, was nominated for the oflice of Governor. The Socialist-La- bor party nominated Philip \'eal, of Collinsville, for Governor, while the Peoples' party chose James 1 logan, of Chicago, as their standard bearer for the same office, A new ])arty was organized, being known as the Continental party, which held its State convention at 26 Van Buren street, Chicago, Illinois, on Wednesday, September 14, 1904, and nomin- ated Andrew G, Specht, of Morgan Park, for Governor, The election was held Noveml)er s, 1904, and resulted in the election of Charles Samuel Deneen as Governor b\- an overwhelming majoritv. He received the largest plurality and also majority of any man ever elected as Governor of Illinois. He led all his associates on the Republi- can ticket, and even polled 1,384 votes more than Col. Theodore Roose- velt, the candidate for President. Stringer, his Democratic opponent for Governor also led his associates on the ticket. Deneen had a plu- rality of 299,149 votes over Stringer, and a majority of 195.124 votes over all the other six candidates combined. Stringer had only carried eighteen counties in the entire State. The following is the official vote of that election : Illinois, November s, 1904. For Governor, Charles Samuel Deneen* (Rep.) 034,029 TIIK SACK (IK SINXISSIPPI. 01 For Governor. Lawrence B.

Specht (Cont.) 780 Charles Samuel Deneen was inaugurated as the twenty-fifth Gdvernor of Illinois on January 9, 1905, the third Governor who had been thus honored as a resident of Cook County. He was the second Governor of Illinois to be born within the borders of the State, and was forty-one years of age at the time of his inauguration. As Governor he took a keen interest in the passage of the Primary Law. When the first primary act was declared unconstitutional, he immediately called a special session of the General Assembly which enacted the present Primary Law. He is a conservatixe, cool, wise and far-seeing chief e.xecutive, and must be classed as one of our best Governors, notwithstanding the tirade and abuse heaped upon him bv "The Chicago Journal." For dispassionate discussion of a subject, fur the unemotional treatment of facts, for oratory resting upon the groundwork of logic. Governor Deneen stood in the front rank of the public speakers of Illinois. He had been born and educated in the countrv — in Southern Illinois — and had gone to Chicago an un- known couiitrv vouth. to make his own way. He had made a success of the law and, having embarked in politics almost the first day of his arrival in Chicago, he had been exceptionally successful in that field also. On the stump. Go\-ernor Deneen was always clear-headed and convinc- ing. His straightforwardness and his obvious ability commanded un- failing re.spect. His modesty, his hatred of display, his kindly manner, readilv won admirers and friends. His record, public and i)rivate. had been that of a clean-handed honest man. Frank Orren Lowden made numerous speeches in the campaign for his victorious rival, and ably assisted in rolling up the tremendous plu- ralitv of almost 300,000 votes, given to the man who had vanquished him. I think it is but just and fair to all concerned, to also give a brief sketch of the life of the man who held the key to that famous deadlock, and who caused an almost seeming Lowden victory to change suddenly to one of defeat, the greatest factor in that renowned con\-ention, Gov- ernor Richard Yates. RICHARD YATES. Richard Yates, the twenty- fourth Goxernor of Illinois, was born at Jacksonville, Alorgan County, Illinois, December 12, 1860, about one month after his illustrious father, Richard Yates, the elder, had received a majority of the votes of the people of Illinois, and about one month be- fore his inauguration to the position which he so aljly filled and won for him the title of "The Great War Governor." llis jiareuts were natives of Kentucky, while his grandparents were nalixes of \'irginia. The first 58 THE SAGE OF SIK>'ISSIPPI. ItK'llAltl) YA'IKS. Former Goxernor of Illinois ■;iN.\issii'Pi. four years of liis life were passed in the executive mansion at Spnnghekl. where he saw tlie agony of the Great Civil War from the home side, and remem1)ers the return of the regiments in 18(15. The next six years of his life, he passed in Washington, whither his father had gone as United States Senator. He also remembers of a visit to Richmond in company with his jjarents in lSr.fi, to Fortress jNIonroe in 1S67, when Jefferson Da\-is was in confinement there, and the impeachment trial of President Andrew (ohnson. He also remembers Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, Sum- ner. Seward and Stanton, who were friends and confidants of his father, and frequent visitors at his father's house. The dav his father was nominated for Governnr. was se\-en months before the boy's birth. He was born just nine days before Si luth Caro- lina passed the secession ordinance and attempted to go out- of the Union. In that time of tremendous excitement and year of awful appre- hension, and in the midst ><\ tumult and the rumblings of a])pn .aching strife, in which his father was a central figure, he came into the world. His birtli was coincident with the nation's travail, and his nervous tem- perament, his disposition to be pnjfound. his inclination to study, his adaptability to the philosophy of statecraft, his thoughtfulness in the consideration of others and his sternness in conviction of truth are his heritage of his time. The earliest years of his life, when impressions sink deepest, followed in a manner to fix these qualities of his heart and mind forever. The sort of stuff "Dick" Yates was made of showed itself unmistakably when his father died. and. like other great men of the Republic, after devoting his life energies to the people and neglecting his selfish interests, died a poor man. His estate was involved and con- sumed with overwhelming debt. Out of the wreckage his widow was able to save a siielter. but the boy was left jiractically <:)n his own re- sources at the age of thn-feen years. Through the efforts of Govei-nor Yates. Illinois sent to the war for the Union a quarter of a million of men. He made a tremendous cam- paign and delivered i.m the stuni]) one hundred passionate appeals to the patriotism of the people, and e\ery man who enlisted he regarded as his especial charge. He went on the battlefield time and again, bringing food, medicine, nurses and surgeons to the hungry, the sick and the wounded, who were fighting for the flag. This expense he guaranteed with his own personal notes of debt after the Legislature had failed to make provision by appropriation. The agonies of mind through which he passed at this time were so intense that his constitution wa-^ under- mined by the strain, which was beyond human endurance, and eight years after the close of the war he died, as much a victim of its strain and struggle as any who died on the battlefield — and. after all his service to his country, died penniless. In 187:1. the year of his father's death, Richard entered Whipple Academy, the preparatory department of Illinois College, and with the aid of his mother's slender means he was enabled to continue. He was THE SACK or SINMS thirteen )ears i)d Yates was unable to overcome with his country majority the effect of the defection in !he city. The result of the election was as follows: Illixois, Xoveml:)er S, 1893. For Congressmen-at large. Gen.

Jesse Harper (Peo. ) 21,035 For Congressmen-at-large, Michael McDonough ( Peo. ) 31,454 General Black and Judge Hunter were successful, the latter's plurality over Yates being 34,594. ;\lthough defeated it was almost a victory for Richard Yates, as it not (inly aided his amljitions but it established his ability as a campaigner, and added tii his already wide accpiaintance and following throughout the length and breadth of the great common- wealth of Illinois. Two years later, in 1894, the Republicans oi Morgan Count}' nom- inated Yates for the ofifice of County Judge. He was elected, carrjqng the ticket along with him, by a majority (^f 540 votes. His predecessor in office was a Democrat, elected by a majority of 1,400 votes. It was indeed a personal triumph, inasmuch that a great number of the opposing political faith, cast their ballots for him. When he made his canvass for the office of County Judge he set a new pace in vote-seeking. He made a house-to-house canvass. Where railroads did not penetrate, he went in a buggy or on horseback, carrying campaign literature and cigars with him. He waded through mud to open heavy gates and walked across fields to catch the ear of busy farmers while at work. ]3uring his term as ciiunly judge he was called to Chicago by County Judge Carter, and held a branch nf the Cnunty Court of Cook County for considerable periods during three years as an additional judge, the docket being over- crowded. This tended to augment his already large accjuaintance and bring him more directly in contact with the people of the metropolis, making him thoroughly conversant with the needs of the great city as well as those of the State at-large. In januarv. IMMi, he plods^cd himself U> Mckinley fur I'residenl, and Avas one of the original McKinley men in Illinois. He carried the Six- teenth Congressional District for McKinley against the comhination of the leaders of the district. The same year he was detailed l)y the national campaign committee to make speeches in the larger cities of Iowa. Ne- braska, Missouri, Indiana. (Ihio. Wisconsin. Minnesota. Michigan, Ten- nessee and Kansas. He did this in six of the States and then came back to Illinois to help McKinle\- and Tanner. He was offered a position as Assistant Attorne\ -( iener;il by I'resident .McKinley, but declined on the ground that he did not want to live in Washington. He sought the position of district attorne\- for the S(.>uthern district, but the President felt obliged to a]ipoint John (Jtis Humphrey, because to refuse to do so would be a humiliation to Senator Cullom. He was offered the appoint- ment of United States Collector of Internal Revenue for Central Illinois, but declined. The offer was from the President direct. "Now, Yates," said President McKinley, "it is best for you and for me that you should take it." Thereupon he withdrew his declination and accepted the office. He resigned the office of county judge in isn;. after serving three years, to accept his new position. In Sei)teml)er. l^!•'.•. he publicly announced himself a candidate for Governor of Illinois, subject to the ilecisi()n of the Republican State con- \-ention. With no machine and no barrel, with a following of personal friends onlv, he secured the endorsement of t\\ent)--one counties of the State. With this comi)arati\el_\' small number of instructed delegates he went to the State convention, there to be met and opposed by two of the strongest political organizations ever formed in the State. The Republican State convention was held at I'eona, May 8 and 9. 190(», ar.d Charles Gates Dawes was elected as temporary chairman over John Joseph P>rown. while Kx-Governor Joseph Wilson I-'ifer was chosen as permanent chairman. When nominations for Governor were called for, Edward H. Morris, a leading colored attorney of Chicago, placed in nomination Judge Elbridge Hanecy, of Chicago, the choice of the State organization, and of Congressman Lorimer and Cjo\ernor Tanner. DeW'itt C. Jones, of Chicago, presented the name of Orrin N. Carter, the efficient County Judge of Cook Count}', for the same office. Judge Carter was the candi- date of that class of Republicans in Chicago wli'i were opposed to the candidacy of Judge Hanecy. and the machinations of the State organiza- tion. Duncan McDougall. 1 and Yates 27:1^2- Although Judge Yates received the smallest vote on this ballot, still his following stood firm as the Rock of Gibraltar, ready to die with their leader. Judge Carter surprised the politicians by his large vote on this ballot, being- second on the list. There being no choice, a second ballot was ordered wdiich at its completion showed losses for Judges Hanecy and Carter, and a heavy gain for Congressman Reeves, who now had passed Judge Carter being second to Hanecy, who still kept the lead. Judge Yates gained a few votes, his following standing firm. He was still last, having the least number of votes. The result of the second ballot w-as as follows : Hanecy 529, Reeves 410, Carter 323 and Yates 276. There still being- no choice, a third ballot was taken w hich resulted as follows : Reeves 4S2>^, Hanecy 430, Yates 345 >j and Carter 279. Congressman Reeves was now in the lead, and Judge Yates was in third place. Judges Hanecy and Carter were steadily losing ground, and it became evident that the battle was between Reeves and Yates. Congressman Lorimer, who had hoped u> land his favorite, Judge Hanecy, saw that his chances had gone glimmering, so he juniped into the Yates band wagon and obtaining a Yates banner, waved it to and fro, and thus with other assistance stampeded the convention to Judge Yates. When a new ballot was ordered, which was the fourth, Judge Hanecy arose and withdrew his name advising all his friends and follow- ers to support Judge Yates. Judge Carter also withdrew, as his friends had accomplished the defeat of Hanecy, and his supporters voted for Reeves, although a great number supported Yates. Great excitement follow^ed, and Yates was nominated amid a demonstration such as was never witnessed in the history of popular conventions. The result of the fourth and final ballot when completed was : Judge Yates 973 and Reeves 564. It was indeed a great triumph for the man who had started out with 272^/2 votes out of a total of ^ .'>'M . and whom the leaders had repudiated as not even lieing a factor in the race, and who had laughed and scorned at the announceiuent of his candidacy for the of^ce of Gov- ernor. He was nominated for Governor on the fortieth anniversary of his father's nomination for the same office, May 9, 1860, under the same circumstances. The Democratic State convention met at Springfield, June 26, 1900, being called to order by Dr. Walter Watson, chairman of the State Cen- tral Committee. Elmore W. Hurst, of Rock Island, was chosen as tem- porary chairman of the con\ention, and was also elected as permanent chairman. Elmer Artluu" I'erry arose and presented Samuel Alschuler, an able attorney of Aurora, for the office of Governor. John T. Keating, of Chicago, nominated -\dam Ortseifen, who was City Treasurer of Chicago, and a wealthy brewer, James M. Graham, one of the leading attorneys of Springfield, and a former member of the General Assembly, in an able speech placed in nomination .Vlfred OrendorlT, of Springfield, OF SIXXISSII'IM. U'lio had been a meniljer of the ("icneral Asseiiilil). and Adjutanl-Cieneral of the State under Governor AUgeld. Frank J. Ouinn. of P'eoria, pre- sented the name of Ex-Congressman Nicholas Ellsworth ^^'orthing■ton, while Charles A. \\'indle nominated Charles K. Ladd. The contest, as was anticipated, was between Alschuler and Ortseifen. The first ballot was very exciting", and resulted : .\lschuler 4483^, Ortseifen 411;^. Oren- dorff 2525/2, Worthington 48. and Ladd 45. Alschuler was nominated on the second liallot. receiving (iOOIl to 417!_> for Ortseifen, l.'ld for Orendorff and 4.'! for W'orthington, Ladd ha\-ing been withdrawn. It was a popular nomination, being well received throughout the State. Alschuler, like his rival, was also a native of Illinois, having 1)een born in Chicago, No\-ember 20, 1850, being one year older than Juilge Vates. In 1892 he was nominated for Congress by the Democrats against Alljert Jarvis Hopkins in the Fifth District, but was defeated as the district was hopelessly Republican. He had been a meml)er of the State Claims L'om- mission, and a member of the General Assembly, where he was the Democratic leader of the fight against the obnoxious Allen liill. and using his influence against bad legislation. He was a worthy ri\al of Judge Yates. The Proln'bitionists met at Chicago. June 21S,0(;C) For Governor, Visscher V'ere ISarnes i Pro. ) l.>,t>4l'! For Governor, Herman C. Perry ( Soc.

CT address deli\ered at Bain's Opera House at Kochelle. in Feliruary, I'.KH, when (in liis campaigning tonr for renoniination. Mv sister, and her two Rochelle chums. Misses Elsie S. Weeks and Eva Caroline Weeks, sisters, formed a part of the orchestra at that meeting and were per- sonally complimented and thanked by Governor Yates for their splendid effi>rts. 1 had a persunal interview with the Governor, and he was of the npinidn that he wimld le;id in the cimtest for delegates. His address was a niasterlv one. (icvernur \'ates. alwa\s rateil a good public speaker, had de\eliiped remarkahh' in the four \ears that had elapsed since the beginning of his former contest. He combined dignity of diction and of Itearing with an easy manner on the platform. He had the features, the action, the deep, resonant voice of the orator. His speeches had in them wit, emotion, elo(|uence — • abo\e all, intense earnestness. His words brought tears, laughter, ap- plause. There was no lack of sentiment in him ; he was fond of dwelling cjn the memories that stirred men's souls — of appealing to the emotion of patriotism. He had long since abandoned the memorized speech; and now, as he started into his campaign, his speeches had the freshness and vigor of extemporaneousness. He was skilful, too. in presenting "cold facts," and making them interesting. He was now entering a cam- paign in which the battle of his life was to l)e fought — a battle such as no candidate ever before in Illinois had been compelled to fight — a battle that was to bring out the \-ery best that was in him. I have already gi\'en ^•ou the details of the Republican State conventi(.>n of J'.)()4, in which GoN'ernor ^'ates, seeing the hopelessness of his own renoniination, withdrew on the sexenty-ninth ballot in favor of Charles Samuel Deneen. Governor Yates although failing of renoniination, had made one of the most wonderful fights in political history, and had the pleasure of naming his own successor in office. He had held his followers together at the con\-ention, against pleadings and invasions, and surprised even his enemies who commented on his ability to organize. He made a host of friends by his Ijrave and honest figlit, and his naming of Deneen as the man to take up his mantle. He was chosen by this same State con- \ention which failed to renominate him for Governor, as one of the four delegates-at-large from Illinois to the Republican National convention, which was held at Chicago, June 21, 1904, and there aided in the nomina- tion iif Col. Theodore Roosevelt, of New ^'ork, for President, and of Charles Warren Fairbanks, of Indiana, for Vice-President. Yates was a candidate for chairman of the Illinois delegation, but was defeated by Senator Shelby jMoore Cullom, another delegate-at-large, by a small majority. The other delegates-at-large from Illinois were Senator Albert Jarvis Hopkins and Speaker Joseph Gurney Cannon. Governor Yates spoke in many parts of the State, and did all in his power to accomplish the election of Governor Deneen and the whole Republican ticket. He served as Governor from January 14, 1901, to Tanuarv 9, 1905. His father also served as Governor for one term. In IK OF sixxissippr. iss.s he was niarrit-d ti> Aliss Helen W'adsworth, the accomphshed (laughter nt A. C. W'adsworth, of Jacksonville. Two children were born til them. Miss Catherine and Miss Dorothy. Mrs. Yates came from one iif the oldest and most pmniinent families in Jackson\ille. She was one (if the ])rettiest skirls in that cit\- which is famous fur i)rettv girls, and she was as schnhirlv as her handsume husliand. She was devoted to his ambitions, and attended the State con\entions before which her distinguished husband was a candidate for the otfice of Governor. Mrs. Yates was born in Jacksonville in istJ.j. Her parents were born in ( )hii:i; her grandfather, Capt. Edward \Vadsworth, participatevl in the War of 1812, and her great-grandfather, Gen. Elijah W'adsworth, was a soldier of the Revolution. She presided over the executi\-e mansion with grace, tact and efficiency, and the social life while she was mistress of the mansion was gay and pleasant. For five years "Dick" Yates carried a musket in the Xational < 'iuar tigure whatever in the contest. Yates had made the greatest fight in tlie poHtical history of IlHnois, as he had conducted liis campaign alone and singlehanded He was defeated by Senator Culloni at the RepulMican primaries by a pluraHty of 45,540 votes.

He was one of the best Governors that Illinois has ever had, taking rank with his illustrious father. He has a host of personal friends and admirers in all parts of the country, and is conspicuous even now in the public eye. His ninther. Mr.-. Catherine Yates, who bears the great distinction of being the wife of a Governor, and also the mother of a Governor, an illustrious son of a worthy sire, is still living although aged and feeble. His brother, Henry Yates, who was Superintendent of Insurance during his administration as Go\em(ir, and who was his senior by twelve years, having been born at Jacksonville, Illinois, January lit. 1848, and died in office at Spring- field, Illinois, May 1, 190:;. Such in brief is the life hist(.)ry of the man who reallv accomplished the defeat of F"rank Orren Lowden for Gov- ernor. On the seventy-ninth ballot, Lowden had received 631 votes, or within l.-.il votes of a nomination. But Yates decreed that Lowden should not be nominated. Later he also chose the candidate for Lieuten- ant-Governor, Lawrence Yates Sherman, his personal foe. Such was the good nature and brilliant qualites of the eloquent Yates. But let us now return to the life of p'rank Orren Lowden, that prince of com- moners. Shortlv after his defeat for the gubernatorial nomination. Attorney Lowden moxed his household goods and effects, as well as his family to his farm on the l)anks of the Rock River, near Oregon, Ogle County, Illinois. In other words he removed from Chicago to Oregon, Illinois, thus becoming a bonafide resident of Ogle County. Attorney, Colonel and Candidate Lowden now became Farmer Lowden. Meanwhile, on May 19, 1904, he had been chosen as a delegate to the Republican X.i- tional Convention, at the Congressional convention of the Republicans of the First Illinois District. His colleague as a National delegate from the district was Alderman Thomas John Dixon. He attended the Repub- lican National Convention which assembled at Chicago, on June :21, 1904, and there he enthusiastically supported Col. Theodore Roosevelt, of New York, for President, and Charles Warren Fairbanks, of Indiana, for \"ice-President, both of whom were nominated by acclamation. Lowden was chosen as a member of the Republican National Committee from Illinois to succeed Graeme Stewart, of Chicago, by that convention, THE SAGE OF SIXXIS.SIPPI. for a term nf fnur vears. He was chosen as a member nf the Repuljhcan Xational Executive Committee during the campaign of 1!(04, being as- signed to Western headf|uarters at Chicago. The memljers of tliat Ex- ecutive Committee were: Capt. Harry Stewart Xew, of Indiana; Frank Orren Lowden, of Ilhnois : R. B. Schneider, of Nebraska: David \V. Muivane. of Kansas: George Alexander Knight, of California: Elmer Dover, of Ohio ; Charles F. Brooker. of Connecticut ; Xathan Bay Scott, of West Virginia: Franklin Murphy, nf New Jersey: William Lukens Ward, of New York: and Cornelius Xew tun Bliss, of New \'iirk. He took an acti\'e and prominent part in that campaign, and assisted material!}- in rolling up the tremendous majorities gi\en to the Repub- lican ticket throughout the West. Farmer Lowden now retired to a (|uiet life nu his lieautiful fariu. far away from the ceaseless noise and rumblings of a swiftl}- gnjwing metropolis. He was at last situated where he cuuld enju}- the blessings of health and life, and the i|uieluile (if peace and pnisiierit)'. He was now a real farmer, nut simph' in name, but in positixe action. However, he was not destined to tarr\- long in retirement, nor to be totall_\- eclipsed from public ])refenuent and honor. The e\-er grinding wheels of govern- ment HI their activity, were ])ointing their pendulum of public servitude, as it swung to and fro, far oiU towards a ([uiet home i:ni the banks of the Rock River, to the <|uiet and unassuming Sage of Sinnissippi, the Cin- cinnatus of Illinois. He was calleil from his plow, frmu the field of action, to lead a \aliant host. The old and faithful commander was aging rapidly, his health was failing, and it was but a (|uestion of time ere the reaper of death would call his name on the eternal roll. He had been an al)le commander, alwa\s leading his hosts to \ictory. But age \\ as telling fast and a \oung man was needed to take bis place at the head of the ranks. In Januarv, IKOii, Congressman Robert Roberts Hitt. of Mount Mor- ris, Representatixe in Congress from the Thirteenth lllll1oi^ 1 )istrict, formally announced at \^'ashingtoll, D. C.. that owing to age and ill health he wnuld not be a c.andicl.-ite for re-election at the coming election on November *'<. I'.Mii;. He was one of the ablest men in the L'nited States, a statesman anil diplomat of world-wide fame, and had been chairman of the committee on I'dreign .\ffairs in the National House of Representatives for several \ears. He was first elected to Congress on November 7, 188:2, to fill the une.xiiired term oi Maj. Robert M. A. Hawk, deceased, and also elected for the full term on the same day, serving twentv-four vears in Congress. Lee County was entitled to the honor, for she had ne\'er bad a Representati\e in Congress, who bad been a resident within her borders. Lee County had many able men. any of whom would seiwe acccptabl\- and honor the district as a Representa- tive in Congress, among whom allijw me t(j mention the following well known Repul)lic:ms: Judge Richard Smith h'arrand. Judge Solomon Flicks Bethea, Charles Barton Morrison, Washington Lwing (iuffin, ^IXMSSU'PI. State Senator Cliarles Hill Hughes, P.enjamin l-'Unver Shaw, Luther Ward Mitchell, Charles Harthng- Woo.ster. Columhus D. Hussey, Peleg Miner Tames, Edward Howard" Brewster.

Dc^-nhlaser, William Henry Vos- burgh, Carl Thomas Yetter. and Lars Clarence Risetter, besides numer- ous others which limited space will not allow mentioning. Whiteside County had a perfect right to lay claim to the honor, and among whom it mav be well to mention such able men as the following: Charles Bent. Alfred' X. Abbott. Harvey L. Sheldon. RoUin H. Woods and Charles A. Wetherbee. Ogle County had many able men who would greatly honor the district in Congress, among \Yhom are such well known loyal Republicans as Sjur Weir \\'eeks, Delos W. Baxter, George W. Dicus, Wilbur Braiden McHenry. Clarence E. Cardner, Johnson Lawrence, George E. Stocking, Col. 'Benjamin Franklin Sheets. Ziba A. Landers, Frank E.

Adams and \'ictor 11. Bovev. ]r, Davios County also had many able men who were of Congressional timber, some of whom were. State Senator John C. McKenzie, James R. Berryman, and Judge William Rippin. Carroll Countv had numerous brilliant men among whom were. Winfield Scott Cowen. Judge A. F. Wingerl. William W. Gillespie. David C. Busell and Valentine Boerner. Stephenson County also had an array of many remarkably able men such as. Capt. Homer \-. .Vspinwall. James R. Cowley. Boyd B. Hill. James E. Taggart. (Jen. Smith Dykens Atkins, Judge Anthony J. Clarity and Louis H. Burrell. Numerous other men could be mentioned in each of the six counties comprising the Thirteenth Illinois Congressional District aside from those already mentioned, aiiv of whom would make an acceptable Congress- man. But none of the men who have been mentioned seemed willing to enter the race for the Congressional prize, nearly ;ill of them being favor- able to the nomination of iM-.ank ( )rren Lowden. of Oregon, as Rei)re- sentative in Congress. Lowden. however, was of the opinion that having been a resident of the district for but two }e;irs. and there being many other available gentlemen who had been residents of the district almost during their entire lives, that he had no claim or any right to seek such a nomination. He also argued that inasmuch that Ogle County had held the honor during almost a quarter of a century consecutively, it was liut right that one of the other counties should now be recognized. It was his opinion that Lee County was entitled to the honor, for that county had never had a Congressman, that is as a resident within her boundaries. He could well favor Lee Countv, for that county had cast her \iite solidlv I- THE SAGE OF SIXXISSIPPI. for him on eacli df the seventy-nine ballots wiien lie was a candidate for Governor, and had done all within her power to secnre him that nomination. \'es, Lee County had even gone down to defeat with him. Therefore he owed much to that county. He urged such men as Judge Richard .Smith I'arrand and State Senator Charles Hill Hughes, both of Dix(jn. among many others, to come out as a candidate. Xo one seemed willing to enter the race, so at the urgent request of friends from all six counties, he linally became a candidate for the Republican nomina- tion for Representative in Congress. He was unopposed for the nomination, and the Republican primaries were to be held on Saturday. .\])ril :3S. T,)(m;. The Illinois General As- sembly had adopteil a primary law. Init a short time previous to the hold- ing of the ])rimanes. tlie Supreme Court of Illinois had declared the law as invalid and unconstitutional, (fiovernor Deneen immediately called a special session of the Illinois General Assembly and aiKither primary law was adopted. This stood the test for the time being. In the mean- while an opponent entered the race for the Congressional nomination. William Pierce Landon, of Rochelle. announced his candidacy for Con- gress in opposition to Frank Orren Lowden. I will give a brief sketch of the man who had the ner\e to (jppose such a popular man as Lowden. William Pierce Landon was born in Schenectady, New York, in 1865. He was the son of Judge Judson Stuart Landon, who was born in Con- necticut in 1S:J:2. Judge Landon was a lecturer in the Albany Law School, author of "The Constitutional History and Government of the LTnited States," and had lieen for thirty-two years a judge in the New- York courts. He was a Justice of the Supreme Coiu-t of Xew York, and retired from the Court of Ajjpeals of New York, the hi.ghest court in that State, in 190:2. Judge Alton Brooks Parker, the Democratic nominee for President of the United States, paid Judge Landon the trib- ute of possessing the profoundest legal mind he had ever known. Judge Landon's father was a ^Vhig, and both voted for Gen. John Cliarles Fremont, the first Republican candidate for the presidency in 185G, and the Judge helped to nominate Aln-aham Lincoln at Chicago, in ISHO. It was therefore in a home of the highest intellectual culture and loyalty to Republican ])rinciples that the son, William Pierce Landon. was reared. He graduated from the Schenectady Classical Institute second in rank, and received the prize for oratory. Next he graduated from L'nion Col- lege, also second in rank, and again gained the prize for oratorw From the Albany Law School he graduated as valedictorian of jiis class, and passed the best entrance examination to the bar e\'er submitted to that examining committee. At the outset of his practice in St. Paul, Minnesota, he obtained a fine partnership ; but he felt constrained to give up these Ijright prospects and take up religious work. He became assist- ant to the pastor of the largest Presbyterian church in that city, and also studied at the AlcCormick Seminary at Chicago. Illinois, from which THK SA(iK Ol- Sl.NNIfiMl'l'I. he graduated in 1S93, as president of his chiss. The tirst year of his pastorate in Rochelle, Ilhnois, there were large addition-s to the church, but his heahh gave way under the strain of excessive work. About a year was spent in tra\-ei in this country and Europe, and finally he resigned in IS'J?'. to the unanimous regret of the congregation. He then took up ranching in K;msas and found out by experience the evil influence of the beef trust, l-ietaining his residence in Rochelle, he man- aged several farms and resumed the practice of law, and was elected City Attorney of Rochelle. He was a member of the Masonic fraternity. He served on local Republican committees and made addresses a few times in every presidential campaign. He made a specialty of corpora- tion law, and the influence of corporations upon the Goxernment was studied by him for twenty years. Attorney Landon conducted a spectacular campaign for the nomination. It was thought at first, that he wnuld make a poor showing in the con- test and be "completely buried l)y the \-i)ters on primary day. He was practicallv unknown in the district, but his speeches seemed to gain him friends. He was an orator of great elociuence, belonging to the school of political orators of which the eloquent Governor Richard Yates was master. He made a thorough canvass of the entire district, his speeches being listened to with great interest. The people became enthusiastic over him and his candidacy. But there is such a thing as becoming over enthusiastic. He flayed the trusts and monopolies, and accused his opponent, Farmer Lowden, of being a trust magnate, and also a non- resident of the district. Lowden, on the other hand, like a silent si>hinx, sat in retirement at his home, and uttered ne\er a word, believing that Landon would soon talk himself to death. The week preceding the date of battle he hurried over the district simpl\- shaking hands with his friends. A few days before the primaries he issued a statement to the voters of the district in which he stated his views on the great political questions of the day, \vhich read as follows : \Mien in Januarv last Mr. Hitt announced his intention not to be a candidate to succeed himself, pressure was lirought to bear upon me from all parts of this district to become a candidate f<:)r Congress. I stated then that if the people of this district desired me to represent them in Congress I should be very proud of the honor. This office is not of my seeking in any sense of the word. It is due to the people of the district that I should state my views upon some important questions peinling 1)ef()i-e the country. .\nd here I want to add that I shall say nothing which 1 haven't said repeatedly whenever occasion demanded, even l)efore I was a candidate for any office. For instance upon the subject of trusts. I delivered an address in Tune, 1901, at the commencement of the State Uni\-ersit}- of Iowa upon this subject. This was before Mr. Roose\elt. then \'ice-President, delivered his famous speech at Minneapolis uiion the same (|uestion. I then thought that I saw some dangers from the rai)id trend towards 74 THF SAOK OF STXXISSIPPI. conceiitratinn nf Cdi'porate \vealth. The sul)iect was a new cme at that time, hut I am wilhiig- to l>e jiul.qetl l)y the views I then expressed These \icws ha\e ItCJii recently reprixkiced l)y se\'eral (if the lea(hng' papers of the (hstrict. Among otlier things I said : 'T know of but three methods by which any of these corporations can possiljly secure monopoly. The first is bv ac(|uisition of absolute control of the raw material used in the particular industry. If such control can be secured, that very moment, in mv iudgnient. the American jiedjile will assume to regulate the price (if such raw material, S( i that no one be denied the material he requires at a reasonable price and u]ion terms of absolute e(|uality. Whenever an article which is a necessit\- to the life of the pe()]ile shall be controlled bv ;m\ one corporation, that cor])oration will l)e impressed with ;i (|uasi- pul)lic character and be made subject to go\ernmental C(introl. "The second method which is feared is for the cor])oration to concen- trate its jjower to crush a humble ri\al at a gi\en point, even at a loss to itself, and then to resume undisjiuted sway. If corp(irations shall un- wisely employ this method the\' will meet with relnike from the Ameri- can peo])le. The large manufacturing corporations — those which control more than one-half of their several products — affect the country as a w h(.ile. If they shall use their ])o\ver in this tyrannical wa\- to ac(|uire monopolw \\h\' should the\' not be brought within the principle of like charge for like serxice? "The third method is b\- discrimination made b\ the transportation companies in faxor of the greater concern. In one case u was proved that the larger comiianv not onl\- received a substantial rebate fmm the railroad company, liut that it was also given a large part of the full rate paid ])}• the smaller competitor. This is not com])etition : it is not c:)- operation ; it is conspiracy. "The interstate commerce law, founded ujion wise principles, is in- tended to and has in a measure, corrected this abuse. It has. howe\er. been found well nigh impossible to con\ict \iol;itoi'^ of this law. It is always difficult to enforce penalties in a criminal ]iroceeding. "So serious and unjustifiable is this evil th;it 1 wmild make the re- ceipt of a single rebate cause for the forfeiture of the charter of the cor- poration." These views, which startled many when uttered, time has \indicated, and I believe in them UKore absolutel\- toda\- than 1 did fne years ago for events have justified mv \-iews. In that address other (|uestions of cor- porate ethics, corporate rights and corporate obligations were fully and frankly discussed. I ha\e ne\er as a director or (dherwise interested in any corporation practiced aiu' iirinciples not consistent with these \iews. A number of years ag(T and before this ad(lress \\ as (leli\"ere(l, T became connected with the management of a certain corporation, and I soon learned that this corporation had been in tht.- habit of acce]iting rebates in violation of the interstate commercial law. I at once made a vigorous protest against the practice. Aly protest was adoi)te(l and tli.at corpora- THE SACK OF SI-VXISMPIM. '•> tion voluntarily aliaiulimed the iiractice at an expense of lar,i;e sums of money annually. I insisted then, as 1 have always insisted, that the cor- poration, as an individual, must obey the law if this s^reat repuhlir were to endure. Recently charges have been made that I have, in some way. been in- terested in a lobby against the so-called rate bill recently passed by con- gres.s. I have never to any human being, said a word against that legisla- tion, but on the other hand, whenever opportunity has presented, I have taken occasion to say that, in my judgment, the principle of that legisla- tion was sound. These views I expressed in conversation with the presi- dent of the United States while entertained at the ^^'hite House by him, to many United States senators and members of congress. Tf the charge is well-founded that I would be too friendly to the railroad com])anies, why have I not shown this sxinpathy during these months when the con- test was actually on? I am the Republican member of the national com- mittee from Illinois: I am a member of the national executive committee; the committee w hich conducted the last national campaign and which will absolutelv decide when and where the next national convention shall be held and which formulates the call for that convention. It is well know^n that a position on this committee gives prestige and political influence to anyone. Whv have I not used this influence when the bill was pend- ing, against that law, if I am the sort of man who would aliuse my office as congressman in the event of my success? If any reputable member of either branch of congress or any state legislature or city council will say that I have ever lobbied against this bill or for any coqiorate or private interest. I will withdraw from the race. I am in heartv accord with President Roosevelt and the Republican part\- on the subject of trusts, as well as on other questions. The Repub- lican partv has written e\-er)- line the statutes contain intended to control the trusts. The Republican party gave to the nation Theodore Roose- velt, whose determined stand against the trusts has the support and the approval of good people everywhere. I believe in a protective tariiY. I am of the opinion, however, that the present schedules should lie revised, many of them being higher than is now required. I believe in the ])rinciple of a maximum and minimum tariiT. wherebv the executi\e branch of the government be authorized to put into effect the minimum tariff with those nations that will receive our products on the most favoral;)le terms. While our home markets will alwavs be our greatest markets, we must not be unmindful'of those markets abroad which must al)sorl) our surplu-. especially of farm prod- ucts. I do not mean to answer the charges which have lieen made against my personal character. For when it's charged that if I were t.) receive a commission from the people of this district to represent them in Con- gress, I would use that place in the interest of any corporation. I am charged with being a scoundrel. If there be any who believe this, would THK sai;k of sinmismiti. ihev believe iiie if I appeared hefcire them and tdlil them I was an honest man? Sn, wlien analyzed, all the charges against me are attacks upon m\- personal integrity. I luue li^■ed to be forty-five years old. My fife has been an open book. If I now. at this time of my life, must answer anv charge with recklessness, irresponsil:)ility or malice may forge in order to obtain ptiblic office, the cost is too high. To show what I mean when I sav "recklessness," I will give you a few illustrations ; I haven't been vice-president of the National Biscuit Company fur about eighteen months. I haven't been a director nor a stockholder in the National Biscuit Company any time since these charges were made in this campaign. I was once connected with that company, nominally as vice-president and actually as a member of the board of directors and the executive committee, and I am proud nf the record I made there. Xo man can truthfully say that I did any deed during that period which cannot bear the light of day among honorable men everywhere. I do not own one share of stock in the Pullman Company nor in any other com- pany which mav be. b\' anv possibility, the subject of legislation in Con- gress. It is true that my wife owns a comparatively small block of that company's stock, but it is not true that either she or her family controls, in anv sense, that company. In any sense, however, I desire to say that so far, I have been able to support my family comfortably without the aid of the Pullman Company or the Pullman family. These are all facts which anv man may verify if he so desires. Xo man can point to any act of mine as a member of any board of directors or other body which needs apology. I say this in the broadest sense, whether as affecting the stockholder, the customer, the employes, competitors, or the public. I have always used my infiuence to the end that labor should be treated generously, that honorable dealings should obtain in all the relations of anv company I have been connected witli. I am charged with having some sort of relation to the packers becausa of the fact that I ha\e been a director of the Central Trust Company of Illinois. That company is simply a bank and nothing more. It is not the fiscal agent of anyone. I have never, directly or indirectly, had any interest in anv packing company anywhere. I liear exactly the same rela- tions to them that other stockholders do. .\nd so far as the Central Trust Company of Illinois is concerned I am not now a stockholder nor a direc- tor in that bank and in justice to the company I wish to state that I did not retire from the directorship because I did not think the bank was being honestly conducted, but because, two years or more ago I made up my mind to retire from all business enterprises and devote my time t:^ the management of my farm. My largest single investment is in Sinnissippi farm and the land I own adjacent thereto. I ha\e been aljle to make a success of this by giving it my personal attention for the last two years. In fact, if successful in this contest, my satisfaction will be tempered with one regret, because of necessity I will be unable to spend as much time here as I otherwise TiiK s.\(;k or six.Ni.ssiPPi. ii would. T lia\-e been in harness ever since I was a }-oun,L;- Ixiy. ami I can well content myself durin"- tlie remainder of my life, with the ijmlilems which the successful farmer of today must meet and suhe. It is charged tliat I nrnved into this county to l)ecome a candidate for Congress. How absurd I Is there anyone in this district who does not know that this is the last county of the district into which one would move if he hoped to ever represent this district in Congress? This count}- had had the Congressman for many years and it was to be ex- pected that some other county would claim the successor of Mr. Hitt. It certainly was expected by me, and it was one of the most agreeable surpirses in my life that e\-ery county in this district had waived its claim in favor of me. I am charged with trying to build up a political machine. If any reputable man within this district will say that I have ever attempted to dictate the political action of any man within the district, including my own employes, I will withdraw from the race. l*3ver\'one who has ever talked with me upon the subject knows that when primary legislation was pending I favored an absolutely direct primary, where a plurality of the members of any party should directly nominate candidates for public ofifice. It is charged that in some way. President Roosevelt's policies would suffer in the event of my success. I was a follower of Theodore Roose- velt twenty years ago wlien he led the fight for reform of the Civil Ser\- ice. I have been his friend ever since from that day to this. Even as far back as when he was Governor of New York, in introducing him at a ban(]uet of the Marquette Club of Chicago. I said : "I do not know that Theodore Roosevelt will ever be President of the United States, though I expect that some day the American people will follow him as willingly and loyally to the White House as did his comrades in the Spanish \\'ar to the block house on the crest of San Juan Hill."' This was taken up by the press of the country and construed as the first public nomination of Theodore Roosevelt to the Presidency of the United States. In my campaign for the Republican nomination for Gov- ernor of this State the President of the United States was for me. as everyone familiar with the conditions of that time can attest. When, in 1904. it came to the selection of an executive committee to manage the campaign, which as everyone knows is selected by the friends of the candidate practically, I was made a member of that committee. Within the last few months I have been invited to dine at the White House, but was unable on account of other engagements to accept. I have fre- quently said on public occasions in this district that I believed with all my heart that Theodore Roosevelt's election to the Presidency was as provi- dential as was Lincoln's election forty-five years ago. There are some who have thought that I ought to enter into personal competition with those who are going up and down the district heaping abuse upon me. If, in order to get this office, I must detract from the THE SAGE Ot SINNISSIPI'I. WHJJA.M PIERCE LANIMIX, Who Couti'stcd ALcaiiist Eowdcii fcir Xoiuiiiatidii at Ki'inililiciii PriiLiaiies.

Lowden and Landon were both able, efficient and honorable men, and many people in the district seemed downcast with spirits drooping at the news that Landon had been defeated, while others were jubilant because their chief had won a signal victory. My home township and neighbor- ing townships were all carried by William Pierce Landon, by small margins. The Republican Congressional convention of the Thirteenth Illinois District was held at F'reeport, Illinois, on Thursday afternoon, August 16, 190G. There was no time for preliminaries and the delegates imme- diately started on the duties for which they were assembled. Dr. J. F.

The reading of the call was dispensed with, lohn Stager, of Sterling, was chosen temporary chairman and was also selected as the permanent chairman of the convention. D. A.

And this is the man who, hut a short time before had beeen opposed as a candidate for 1 'resident of the United States because it was feared that he wduld ftinient wars. Why, my friends. Theodore Roosevelt is the greatest peacemaker in history. "The wliite wings of peace fluttered over all the world. .\nd the world owed this to the Republican party, through President Ro(.)sevelt. Our flag was res])ected everywhere: the uniform of the American sol- dier and sailor was aiijilauded and welcomed in every capital of the world. "( )ur rapid increase in wealth had presented grave rjuestions at home. At the verv forefront of these was the question of control of those corporations engaged in interstate commerce. This included not only transportation companies, but the large corporations wdiose operations had become so vast that they had been brought under the interstate commerce law of the constitution by decision of the Supreme Coiu't of the United States. In other words, that great tribunal had held that the authority of Congress was not only supreme over the agencies of interstate commerce, but also over the subject of commerce. Both classes of these corporations had developed certain practices which were inimi- cal to the welfare of the public. Principal among these were discrimina- tions bv and otherwise between shippers at the same point and also as between different localities; discrimination by many of the large inadger: Ogle County, Dr. George M. Mc- Kenney ; Stephenson Count\-, Dr. J. E. Pair: and \\'hiteside Countv. C. C. Fuller. The committee reorganized l)y naming Dr. J. F. Pair, of b^ree- port, as chairman, and R. E. Eaton, of Mt.

The second ballot resulted as follows: Wilson. ■-':.: Goodwin, c : all the delegates voting for Wilson excepting six from Stephenson County. James Philip Wilson, of Polo, Ogle Countv. was declared to be the Democratic nominee for Congress. F. Goodwin, of Freeport, the defeated candidate, moved that the nomination of Wilson be made unanimous, which was done amid great applause. The following committeemen from each county were selected as members of the Congressional committee from the district for the en- suing two vears : Carroll County. iM-ederick S.

The Prohibition party held their Congressional convention at Dixon, on {"ridav. March lii. i'.HiC, and were tlierefore the first in the field. Thev nominated Rev. Charles L. Logan, of I-:iizabeth, Illinois, as their candidate for Congressman. He had been the Prohibition candidate for Congress in the old Tenth Illinois District in 1000. against Congress- man George Washington Prince, but. of course, had been defeated. The Socialist party nominated E. I. Rubendall, of Freeport, as their candidate for Congressman. There were, therefore, four different parties in the field, each having a candidate for the Congressional honors. The Pro- hibition and Socialist parties, however, were unimportant factors, and cut no figure whatever in the contest. The principal fight for the Con- gressional prize was between 1-^rank Orren Lowden, of Oregon, the kepublican candidate, and James Philip Wilson, of Polo, the DeiiKjcratic candidate. Wilson was also well known in the district and enjoyed an extensive actpiaintance throughout the State of Illinois. I will give a brief sketch of his life in this connection. James Philip Wilson was liorn in Blair County. Pennsylvania, in 1S54-, and was descended from Irish and Pennsylvania Dutch ancestry.

Asseml)lvman Wilson's colleagues in this General Assembly from this district were Johnson Lawrence and l-'rederick Haines, both Republicans. In this .Xssembly he was again a member of the commit- tee on Appropriations at the personal request of Speaker John Henry Miller. He was also chosen by the Democratic members of the House of Representatives as minority leader of that party, their candidate for Speaker, and as such acquitted himself with great credit. He served two consecutive terms again, or four years, from January '.». 190L to Januarv 4, 1905. being a member of the Forty-second and Forty-third General Assemblies.

He took a leading part at each session, was one of the most conscientious, able, industrious and use- 92 TIIK SAGE 01- S!>'NISM1'PI. ful legislators, and made a brilliant recunl without a single reijroach. His private lite was pure and his habits were exemplary. The Democrats were indeed \ery fortunate in selecting such a Ijrilliant man to compete with Farmer Lowden for the Congressional plum. He was perhaps the strongest Democrat in the entire district, personally popular, a shrewd and aggressi\e campaigner, and a \-ote getter. He was a man of great eloquence, a forcible speaker, and conducted a clean campaign free from personalities. However, he was seriously handicapped, and his candidacy was under ad\-erse circumstances, because of the fact that each of the six counties comprising the district were strongly Republican, even in an off year. The official vote of the district two years previous, or in 1904. was as follows : Illinois Thirteenth District, Xovemlier s. liiD-t. For Congressman, Robert Roberts Hitt* (Rep. ) 26,45-t For Congressman, John Edward Erwin (Dem. ) 10,049 For Congressman. James H. \\'oertendyke { Pro. ) 1,937 For Congressman, I'rederick C. W'eisser ( Soc. ) 563 Congressman Hitt had a plurality over .\ttorney Erwin, of Dixon, of l(;,4<):i votes, or more than two and a half to one. When "Honest Jim" Wilson beheld this tremendous pluraluy he held his breath. He saw a chance. howe\er. e\en against the Sage of Sinnissippi. Four vears previous, or in I'.io:.'. which was the last off year. Con- gressman Hitt had a iilurality of '.i,s:,'s votes over Louis Dickes, Demo- crat. This was really what 'Tlonest Jnn" Wilson must overcome in order to win. and it seemed iiupossible. He set himself to the task and conducted his campaign practically unaided and single-handed. Like Landon. he assailed the trusts and mono])olies, and was backed by a considerable following of Republicans. He was making serious trouble. and "Honest Jim" and his hosts seemed as if they would overwhelm and defeat Lowden. But Farmer Lowden w a> not idle. He had thrown off his former sphinxlike attitude and was busy canvassing the entire district, and bv his able and telling speeches a few weeks before election won manv nev friends, and some of his Republican deserters returned to his standard. One of the best speeches that he delivered in that cam- paign wa-. at Aml)oy, Lee County, Illinois, ,mi Wednesday, October 3, 1906, when Lowden spoke as follows : Ladies and Gentlemen : — I remember a very delightful visit that I made to Amboy two years ago last winter ; I cann.it tell you how glad I am to get back here to renew my old acquaintances and form new acquaintances : and — for the even- ing is warm and I must hurry on to my speech — I will at once tell you what I regard as the principal issue in this campaign, the issue that the Democratic party has made, and what Theodore Roosevelt and the Re- publican party ha\-e accepted as proposed by the Democratic party. That issue is: Do the people of this country believe in, and will they support the administration of Theodore Roosevelt? Because ever\ vote that is cast tor the Ivepiililican ticket in every part of this country this fall will. l(i that extent, be an endorsement to Theodore Roosevelt. And if it should unhappilv appear that Theodore Roosevelt did not have a strong endorsement from the people of this country it would .yive the Demo- cratic partv encourag-ement and die hope that two years hence they might return to power. Do not forget that, the Secretary of the Demo- cratic Congressional Comnnttee in a written statement which has been circulated all over this country makes that issue. And why" When Democratic politicians appear before the ])eiiple they speak very highly of Theodore Roosevelt: the moment they are elevated to power they do all they can to enforce the will and the policies of Theo- dore Roosevelt and the Republican party. The Democratic pa])er above referred to. which was sent out otificially from their Congressional head- quarters, refers to Roosevelt as a faker, as a fore-flusher: and all the epithets that have ever been used in a political campaign ha\e been em- ployed in that document against Roosevelt. But Roose\-elt was not dis- couraged bv that. He had met attack before, and promptly met the issue raised" bv our Democratic friends and sent Secretary Taft into .Maine during tile Littlefield campaign to tell the peojjle that there were but two course to pursue, — either they l)elie\-e in the administration of Theodore Roosevelt or they did not. If tliey do. they should vote the Republican ticket this fall; because any failure to vote that ticket this fall will be regarded bv the country and by the world as a lack of confidence in our great President. That issue has been made. It has been met with the same courage with which Theodore Roosevelt has met every crisis in his strenuous life, and it is for you to determine at the polls whether or not you want this country to continue under the Republican policy and under President Roosevelt. Happily for us, it is not so far Ijack but that we can remember the contrast between a Democratic administration and a Republican adminis- tration. You will recall that in 1892 our Democratic friends said that free trade would add to the abundant prosperity which we then en- joyed, and they were placed in power by the people, although the year preceding that campaign had been the most prosperous in the history of the country up to that time. The Democratic party was successful at the polls: thev came into power: the factories Ijegan to close, the prices of farm products went down, and an army of a million American citizens was moving up and down the highways and the byways of the country begging, not for bread, but i mly for a chance to work. Those conditions continued for four vears and during that time it occurred to some of our Democratic friends' that the tariff, the Wilson law. was not responsible for it, liut that what we needed was more money. What money we had was g< -ing into hiding because of the lack of confidence in the Democratic party. .And hence arose the free silver issue, ami you remember the campaign that was waged in 1890 all over the length and breadth of this land for sound money. You will recall the manhood of the American i)4 THK S\Gh OF Sl.XMSMPPI. people, whil uiiuld not listen to the \\'hisi)er of repucliation : Init whether against their interests tjr f(.)r their interests they voted for National honesty and National integritx'. Xow if our Democratic friends were right in IMm; we ought to ha\e had since then the worst time we have ever had in the world. \nu will remember that during the campaign of IsiMi they told us that the price of every thing else would continue to go down as long as we had gold only. But McKinley was elected and the first act of his administration was to call a special session of Congress to gi\'e us hack the American policv of protection. \\'illiam McKinlev Ijelieved that it w a^- Ijetter to ojjen the factories of this countrv t(.i .\meri- can labor than to open the mines of this country to all the world, and at once confidence was restored, the factories began to open and these million men were summoned back from the highways and bywavs to take their njd [jlace in the mills, and from that day until this they have earned better wages than ever before in the historv of the ccjuntrv. -\nd now. to explain why they were wrong in is'.tt; on the currency (|uestit)n. the}- say that the discovery of .gold in large quantities has tem- porarily helped the American people; that if it had not been for the dis- covery of the nuiies in Alaska and the expansion of the mining industr\' in the West, that all they said of the distress and blackness before us would have come true. And then a Republican down in Congress, who had before heard statements of our Democratic friends that were not afterwards verified bv the facts, began looking into this question and found that the annual increase in gold from the vear 1892 to 189?. inclu- sive, a period of six }'ears — and those frightfullv lean years which we would like to forget — and I am remintled that whenever you hear one of our Democratic friends making a speech this fall he is silent upon the past but eloc|uent upon the future — Thank God I belong to a part\- that is pr(.)ud to point to the achie\'ements of its past and ask no other w arrant for its being for the future — during those years the annual increase in gold in this country, including Alaska, according to the official report of the director of the mint, w^as twenty-four million dollars a year. During the succeeding six years from 1898 until 19();t inclusive, the most bounti- ful years in the history of this or any other land, the increase was only fifteen million dollars a year. Does that justify what they say now. that since 189(i the disco\-ery of gold has brought this prosperity? For what reason should the American people give any encouragement to the Democratic party as it exists to-day because of the record of the past. Oh. my friends, these have been might}- \ears. the ten years that have come and gone since then. The youngest in this audience can recall the conditions of the last Democratic administration, and }'et during these last ten years the Repul)lican party has written more glorious history than any other party in the same length of time in the history of the world. (Applause). Prosperity. National honor, and then came the trouble with Spain. One night an American battleship was blown up in the harbor of Ma\-ana and the .\merican people roused itself and clutche.l ^iNMssiri'i. tlie \ello\v flag' of Spain forever fri)iii the \\ estern sky. And then liap- pened something that never liapi)ened in tlie liistury nf the world hefore. It almost seems that the statesmen of tlie ^"(.irld fur the first time had read the Sermon on the Mount. We not only drove the Spaniards from Cuba, but we planted schools all over the island, and we ga\'e her sanita- tion such as she had never had before, and we established law and order, and during all this time the enemies of the Republican party charged that it was our purpose to steal that Island from the people who owned it. And at last, one day without precedent in history, Americans hauled down the stars and stripes that the lone star of Cuba might float in its stead. Do you students of history know of an\- either act of magnanimity like this? I admit that the Cuban people have nut made very good use of their independence so far. It simply adds to the credit to which tiie Republican party is entitled ; and I want to say tliat Theodore Roosevelt is right when he instructs Secretary Taft to tell the Cuban people that though they have thrown away^ the independence which we gave them, they may have it back and try again. And yet the Democratic leaders, notwithstanding our experience in Cuba, and our magnanimity and our disappointment in a sense — the Democratic leader, who is assumed to he the next candidate upon the Democratic ticket for President, says that we ought to have done with the Philippines what we did with Cuba. If the Cuban people can maintain a Republic, which is presented to them, for only four years at a time, how long would a Filipino Republic last? (This is no imaginary proposition; it is a proposition that Mr. Bryan has advanced since he returned from Europe, where he learned so many new things. ) If the Cul)an Repul)lic wuuld last only four years without a new start, how long would a Filipino Republic, composed largely of barbarians, have lasted? Will the Democratic party sa)- fhat to the Filipinos if they Come in power? If thev do we shall have a war on our hands every six months. We cannot so far separate oursel\-es from those islands as to avoid responsibility before the world. And then came that awful war between Russia and Japan, until Christendom was shocked by the horror and the sufferings of that gigantic conflict. Every civilized country on the face of the globe would like to have brought about peace, but none dared until Theodore Roose- velt, the Republican President, whispered the word peace, and those two mighty armies laid down their arms. Yet do not forget that two years ago in the campaign of 1904, our Democratic friends were against Roosevelt because they said he would precipitate war upon this country, that he was too impetuous. \\'Iiy, he has shown himself the greatest peacemaker of history. And won't you endorse liim this fall when you get into the voting booth alone with your conscience, believing that he is the greatest and foremost man in all this world ? ( .\pplause. ) Now then, my friends — while I discuss this c|uestion I am going to .answer some of the things that I hear my Democratic friends are saying 0(i TIIK .SA(;K ok SIXMSSIPPI. al)iiut me. And I want to warn any of you gentlemen who are thinking; of g-oing from Imsiness into politics, to ])ause a long while, because you wili have to sav things that really you would rather not say. if you get in. The first question. Why. e\-er since I can remember, the Democratic party has said that tlie Repnlilican party was the friend of wealth and corporations. That is no new question. Mr. Cleveland was first elected President in 1884. when men all over this country wept because of the defeat of their idol. Jame^ C. Blaine. Did you hear of any prosecution of a trust during that fir>t term iif Gro\-er Cleveland's? l)id you hear (^f anv legislation tending to curb unlawful combination^? And when he was elected a second time in 1892, with a Democratic House back of him. and a Democratic Senate, and nobody in power in Washington for the first two vears exce])t the Democrats, what did they doi^ Did Mr. Cleveland's Attornev-Cieneral prosecute any of the trusts under the Sherman .\nti-trust Act, which the Republican Congress wrote on the statute books? Not that 1 ever heard of. And yet the Republican partv has always been the friend of these, they say. And they revived this theorv, — that we must have free trade in order to destroy the trusts. That was their remedy. \\'ell. there is not much doubt that free trade will destroy the trusts, but it will ruin all the rest of us first. That is the trouble with the thing. The trusts are stronger than the independents and thev will survive destruction under a free trade policy longer than the small concerns. That is true, is it not? And yet they are seriously discussing it. \\ by. only two years ago. Judge Parker, the Democratic candidate for President of the Cnited States, said in one of his most important utterances, that we need not have any federal law at all to control the trusts, but that the ccjmnion law of the country is suf^icienr. .\nd finallv someone pointed out to him that there is not any common law in our federal jurisprudence and that, therefore, only the States would be able to act. — and von know what a state can do. They revert back to the States' Rights doctrine. The last campaign was fought more on that issue than on any other. What has the Republican party done in the last two years? Avowing candidly that it is not the enemy of hone>t wealth, but only of the abuses of wealth, it has accomplished more in the two years just gone than the Democratic party has in all its career. A Republican Congress that Theodore Roosevelt says should be returned, and the same organization returned as now exists in it. with Uncle Joe Cannon as Speaker, because thev know what thev are to do. under the leadership of Theodore Roose- \elt. a rate law. which. sui)plementing the Inter-State Commerce Law (Which was also adopted by a Republican Congress) wili absolutely de- stroy discrimination by the railroads, among individuals as well as among different towns. That is true, is it not? The Republican party says that whenever anv industry is so situated, — whether it be a railroad, a manufacturing firm or anything or anyone else, — as to efl^ect the people ;is a whole, it is the dutv of the country to control that industry by law, so that it sliall have no aih-antati-cs tliat the re>t ni the i)eM|ilc lia\e not. Who has brought prosecution for the violations of this law '■' The Re- pubHcan party in every instance; and you peo])le in this section of the country ought to be very proud to think that it was a Lee Countv bov who was selected by the President of the L'nited States as one of the two most eminent and best f|ualitied men in the nation to speciallv re])re- sent the government in the prosecution of these cases — Charlie Mor- rison. ('.\pplause'). But my friends some people say that my ideas are all right but that if I go to Congress I would represent some corporation, especiallv the Pullman Company. I am going to speak plainly here to-night. I have heard of that company. I understand tliere are people who say that, — and this is their logic, — that no man can vote .tgainst his own interests. Well that depends upon what his interests are. doesn't it: and what you mean by that term? I do not own any Pullman stock. I never did. I wish I did, but I do not. Mv wife owns some. I don't own a share in any business that can by any possibihty be the subject of any legisla- tion by Congress. I have been going out of business for several years, except the business of farming up in Ogle County, which is verv badlv interrupted every time I get into politics. (Laughter). That is the truth about it. My wife does own some Pullman stock, not nearly so much as people say ; and it is all nonsense to say that the Pullman family control the Pullman Cotnpan)-, because they do not. They own a mere baga- telle of the stock as compared with the total capitalization of that com- pany. But if they did, could I not even then be an honest man ? I want to say right now that if I have to decide whether to continue to li\e with my wife, or to represent this district in Congress, it will not take me fifteen seconds to decide that question. (Applause). Xow then, what are a man's interests? Are people out in this coun- try getting to be as they are in some places where they appear to live mainly for wealth? Is there not something else besides wealth in this world that good men desire? Does not a man — are there not some of you here to-night, that prize more highly your good name than you do all your worldh' goods ? Would you not rather ha\-e men say that you have been good citizens, and have met honestly and squarely the obliga- tions of citizenship, than to own another section of land? Is there any amount of money that can compensate a man for the loss of the satis- faction, which as long as he meets his duties and his obligations, enables him to look every man in the face without flinching? \\'hy, bless you, if I wanted more money I would not be in politics : I would have continued in business, would I not? And if there is such a thing as too big a for- tune being amassed, or even a small fortune such as mine, for heaven's sake get that man into politics, because if he is an honest man he never can make another sou as long as he lives. That is the way to hold them dow'n. The whole iiuestion is as to whether a man has a character or not. It is not as to wlietlier he has ninre lan to Congress, sacrifice not only this for a few dollars, but also make my children ashamed of me when I get back ? Because I tell you upon my honor as a man that any man who will be commissioned bv the people of this or any other congres- sional district to represent them in Congress, and who will go down there and represent an^■ other interests, is so infamous a scoundrel that he is not fit to occupy any office anywhere. (Applause). If the mere jjosses- sion of a little more money than someone else should disqualify a person frrjm being an u]iright man, that man h.as not character enough to represent anybody. Xow that is the truth about it. I am talking about these things. because I hear them now and then. \\'h\- what is the best thing we are g(_)ing to bequeath to our children in a worldly way? You do not know if vou leave a half a section of land whether that will be a good thing for them or not. I believe that the poor boy to-day has a better chance under the stars and stripes than the rich boy has. I believe I had a better chance than my bo}- will have, and I was born on a farm where everybody was ])oor. But you cannot tell what is going to happen in a hundred years. But if when we lie down to die we can reflect that at least we have pre- served our freedom and our independence unimpaired, so that our boys shall have just as good a chance as any other boy beneath the sun, then we may die content. Rather than leave the fortune of a Rockefeller 1 would rather leave to ni}^ children an op])ortunity under the law equal to that of anyone else. Then it would not much matter whether I left any money or not. Is not that what you think about it? You want to make conditions better for your children don't you? .\nd would you be content if vou had more land than half a section? Would yon if you had a section; that wi)uld not content vou. wi.iuld il ? Would you be perfectly willing to risk our country's welfare for the sake of a little more land? No. And I hope, mv friends, that I realize that full well. I want to do a little something to keep up the glorious country, the best country under the sun, that we inherited from our father-. .\nd I would like to make THE SAGE OF SIXXISSIPI'I. it a little better as we go along, because if tbis Republic fails, it is doulitful if anotber will ever succeed anywbere. becatise no otber country will ever ba\-e tbe cbance wbicb we bave had on tbis virgin continent. Oh no. my friends. I hope there can be no question about the facts on this proposition. I bave been connected with corporations- 1 will tell you about one that I was connected with, a corporation that I became connected with about ten years ago. I found immediately thereafter that they had been taking rebates from railroad companies, just as every other corporation at that time was doing. I submitted the proposition to the Executive Committee of the Corporation that it was wrong, and that we could not afford to do it : that it neither was right, nor was it good business — because I believe with all my heart that honesty is the best policv for a corporation, just as it is for an individual or for a nation. Not that we should be honest from that motive alone, but the universe is so divinely ordered in its economy that when we a do a right thing for right's sake it turns out sooner or later that it also was tbe wisest thing to do. So I made a protest, and brought the question up before the Board of Directors, advocating an absolute abolition of that department of that Corporation : and it was carried by a unanimous vote, although it cost that corporation a fortune each year not to take rebates. And I have been told within the last year b\' a railroad president, that that was one of the two great corporations only in all this country that bad not taken rebates. That is a pretty fair proof of what I believe about that sort of a thing. I do not believe that a man. because be is a member of a Board of Directors of a corporation, is necessarily a knave. Do you? I will tell you another thing. The first client I ever had when I practiced law in Chicago that ever paid me a five thousand dollar fee in one case, came to my office and told me that be wanted a franchise from the City Council, and it would be necessary to "sweeten" some of the Chicago Aldermen. You know what that meant. I told him that his corporation was making a mistake, that it should obey Ihe laws; but if he wanted that sort of a thing done he would have to take his business out of my office. And I lost his business for that reason. Can a man be thoroughly honest and still be connected with large business interests and corporations? That is the question. It is whether I am an honest man or not. If you believe I am a scoundrel, why there isn't any use of my arguing the question with anybody. Now some people say that a man cannot vote against his own financial interests. Let me ask you : A man goes to Congress, or down here to the House of Representatives. State Senate, or any other place you please ; and there is a bill pending wbicb he knows is not rigbr, and somebody comes to him and offers him a hundred thousand dollars if he will use his influence and vote for that bill. What would you think of a man that, because his financial interests were there involved, would vote wrong? Don't you believe there are a lot of good men in this country who would spurn that as an insult to their manhood? They would be THE SAGE OK SIXMSSIPPI. Niiting asi'aiiist their financial interests, would they not? \\'li\-, the propo- sitinn as it is intended to apph- in my case is one that is \evy hard tor nie tn comprehend. Xow there is another thing tliey say aljout nie, I hear, in some parts of the Crninty. — that I don't live here. 1 think some of you have heard that. ^\'elI, I do not know how I cnuld li\e here nicire. except just in one wa\- : if \<>u elect my friend. Air. Wilscin, to Congress. I shall li\e in the district a little more. And that will Ije about the only way you can extend the time of my living here. My interests are here. The largest single investment I have anvwhere on earth is in that farm, those lands up there in Ogle County, which I am running, and if you belie\e that I am an imitation farmer, or a fake, come up and see me. some day. because I never knew anvbodv to be there vet who really did not think I knew wliat I was about up there. I have not lived here as long as some people. I have not lived anvwhere as long as some people have lived here. (Laughter). That is true. If length of residence is going to determine these things, wh\- then the thing to do is find out the man who has lived in this district the longest and send him to Congress without reference to anything else, and not bother with primaries and elections. (Laughter). The question is. whether I came here with the motive of running for Congress. I suppose. Well, if I did. I moved into Ogle County. That County had the Congressman fur twenty-four years. By a sort of unwritten law down here some other County wi )ulfl be entitled to it when Air. Hitt was through. If I came down here to run for Congress, and moved into that particular place where I li\e, which is about ten miles from Air. Hitt's former home, to run for Congress to succeed him in the dim future. I have not sense enough to represent the peo[)le of this district in Congress. If you believe that, you ought not to elect me. Xot on the ground, however, of non-residence, but of incompetence, general mental incompetence. Everybody knows that, doesn't he?' I wanted to go back to the country. Pretty nearly everybod\- that was raised in the country as soon as he can. gets out of the city. You ask any of your friends in the City if they would not like to get back to the country to li\e. / I was l)orn up in the wnods in Alinnesota, about fifty miles north of 'St. Paul, when that country was a wilderness, and when there were more Indians around there than there were white people. That is liter- ally true. Aly earliest recollections are of Lidians more than of white pecjple. I got used to it. the freedom of the frontier. Alv father was a blacksmith there; then he got to farming in a few years, and we moved to Iowa ami I was raised out there, on the frontier again, where there were thirty miles between the settlement where we li\ed and the next settlement to the west at that time, \-irgin prairie. And I worked at that time pretty hard. Farming was a different proposition then to what it is now. Did you ever think that there is not. probably, a young ni;m in this section under thirty years of age that can bind a sheaf of grain, because during that time other methods THE SAGE or SINXISSIPPl. nOBEKT U(Jl!Ei;PS IlITT.

That is, the winter term was begun after corn was all husked, and it would he out in time to get the wood in for the summer. And then they would not begin the summer term until after the corn was in, and that term would invariably end just the day before my father would begin haying . ( Laughter ). And I was there for having and liarvesting and fall ploughing and corn husk- ing. Then when I was twenty years old 1 hail sa\ed a little money by hard work, because I had made up my mind that I would like to be a lawver, and I went to College: and then I had to stay (Jut to teach during niv junior vear, because T had run out of money, and money was mighty hard to get in those days.

So I wanted to go back to the country, and I was looking for a year for a place to go. .\nd hnally 1 heard of liiis place out on theRock river and I went out and looked at it with ni)- wife when it was raining hard, but I thought I saw the beauty of it and by the follow- ing Tuesdav I owned it, and have been actuall\- Ining there most of the time since tl'ieii. \ have not always \oted there. 1 am not going to deceive anybodv. I am going to tell you the truth about it. I voted for the first time up there two years ago this f.all. But wdiat is it that makes home? I am going to appeal to these ladies; they know more about it anyway than you men do. ( Laughter ). \\ hen you are trying to fix vour mind upon the idea of a home, what are the qualities yon have in mind " Xee. I shall nexer occupy it again. T won't occupy il hecause T won't li\e m the city again as long- as I can live in the country. .\n(l that is one thing that will reconcile me to defeat if I am defeated, although I don'r find many po i])le who think I siiall be defeated : but if I am. the thing that will reconcile me to defeat more than anything else will be the fact that I can spend more time at mx hoiue and away from the rush and roar ot the City: becau-^e Washington is a good deal of a City now.

With the ])eople with whom be is raised. Xo doubt about that. I have live sisters ; two of them niarrieil farmers; they have raised families: they have gi-ow n boys, and everv box- that either of these sisters has is a farmer, by my ad\ice. I have another sister whose husband is a travelling man : and I have another sister. mv youngest sister, who teaches school out in Iowa: now I told ber sbe need not teach if .she did not want to. She said "I prefer to earn my own bread," and she is teaching school out there ,ind I think more of her than if she had accepted my bounty. Xow where would my sympathies naturally be? Those are not the circumstances that make an aristocrat, as I understand the term. The mere fact that one of you has one iiundred and sixty acres of land more than somebody else does not disqualify you from being Supervisor in your own town, does it? Not a bit. — if you are a good' man and true. .\nd let us get away from the idea that money is all there is in life. If we are to take that low and sordid view, bow low the plane on which we must live. Xow, my frien.ra Carr, Secretary of the Treas- ury Leslie Mortimer Shaw, (jf T.iwa. and former Congressman Walter Reeves. Ree\es in his speech at Dixon, spoke as follows in ad\ocacy of the election of Lowden as Representatix'e in Congress: 'T ha\e been told that there are some men in this communit\- who are jealous and opposed to Mr. Lowden because he is a rich man. Now, gentlemen, fair play, man to man. and how many are there here to-night who would not get as much mone\- as \iiu could in an honest, lionoralile wav? 1 don't lielieve ^Ir. Lowden has made any of his inoney in a dis- honest wa\-. Mv understanding is that he was a ])rosi)erous lawyer ni Chicago and that he received $100 a day from the City Railroad company to handle its business and in this way laid the foundation of his private fortune. T want to sav to you gentlemen here to-night that if this is not an honorable deal, I do not know of any. I ha\c known .Mr. Lowden for a inimber of years and I have never known him to be guilty of a dishonest act. I do know this, though, that if you elect the other fellow to Congres. he will vote against y^u e\-cry time and vote for exerything you Repub- licans do not want. Mr. WiKon is a good fellow, in fact the only thing I ever heard against him was that he was a good fellow, but. hang him, he is a democrat. ■'Let me say just another word in regard to the man you elect for congress.

I was a member of Congress for eight years' and as a result of that I am about $50,000 jworer to-day than I would lie if I had not gone to Congress, and I did n(_)t li\e a high life while there, but lived in the most economical way possible.

I also take pleasure in quoting the words of Secretary of the Treasury Leslie Mortimer Shaw, of Liwa. his hoyhdod friend who thus made reference to Farmer Lowden in his speecli at Rochelle. Ogle County, itist a few ila\'s previous to election day: I was glail when the congressional committee having charge of my time sent me t( j this grand commonwealth, and pleased when it assigned me t(i this district to assist as hest I might in the election of my friend, Colonel l-'rank Lowden. I have known Colonel Lowden fmni his college (lavs. There has l)een a bond of s_\nipath\- between us growing out of the fact that we were both reared on the farm, and bc:ith learned by hard * and l)itter experience what an education cost. The onlv objection I have heard to Colonel Lowden is the fact that he has been identified with several large industries, but this is no reason w liv he shciuld not make a good Congressman. His experience in business life will be an aid to him in the halls of legislation. He is a man whose public and pri\-ate life and integrity are above reproach, and his ability and experience will tend to make him a useful and influential member. Colonel Lowden, if elected to Congress, can be relied upon to sustain the President in all of his measures for the betterment of the country. A Republican house is essential to the success of the remaining two years of President Roosevelt's administration, and thi-^ success can not lie gained by the election of a Democratic Congress. [ knew intimately the lamented Robert R. Hitt, who was one of the ablest men 1 have ever known — clean, upright, learned, refined, classical, companionable. go(.id. honest and true. He was a man of great wealth, but his usefulness was not lessened thereby. On the contrary he \yas saved from some of the temptations that come to men in public life, who find the salaries insufficient to pay living ex])enses and in any manner prtjvide for the future. In the early history of our country men of wealth were glad to hold public office, but now as a rule they prefer exemption from the ill-considered criticism so freely indulged against all public serv- ants. It will be a sad day for the republic if poverty shall be a necessary qualification for office, as it is unfortunate that salaries are so low as to render it well nigh impossible for a man of ordinary means to hold office. I also wi.sh to quote a few words from "'The Burlington Hawkeye," a leading ])ul)lication at P)urlington. biwa. in which city Lowden taught school. "The liurlington Ilawkeye" is aLo cjiie of the oldest and most influential ])a|)ers in Iowa. This is what they had to say on hearing that their former citizen. I'rank Orren Lowden. had l)een nominated for Congressman in their neighboring State; "The Ivepublicans of the Thirteenth Congressional district of Illinois have nominated Colonel l-'rank ( ). Lowden for Congress. This will prove interesting to our readei's for various reasons. One is that Mr. Lowden is a law\cr of unusual abilitv. an orator, and a debater, a man TIIK SA(;E of SIN.NIS.Sll'ri. fitted for the position as few men are fitted for it. And then Burlington has a special interest in bini for she came to know the man and to esteem him highly, when he was some years younger — and he is yet a young man as politicians go. "For a number of years, before he studied law and was admitted to the bar and before he became a colonel, he was an instructor at the Burlington High School. And he was successful in the work that he did here, as he has been successful in everything tiiat he has undertaken since, and there were those who knew him best in his capacity as tacher who were ready to predict greater things for him when he announced that hi.^ teaching days were over. And in a surprisingly short time he became one of the leaders at the Chicago bar. and one of the fa\-orite and most famous orators nf the neighlioring state. "Colonel Lowden's prominence, his great ability, and his great energy, will soon tell in congress and it may be taken for granted that, from the very first, he will take a prominent place in ihe Illinois Dele- gation, and that e're long, the former high school teacher will be pointed out to visitors in Washington as one of the big men. the real big men in Congress." Congresman Robert Roberts Hitt. whose health had been in a pre- carious condition for a long time, and who had declined to Ijecome a candidate for re-election on that account, died suddenly of heart failure at his summer home at Xarragansett Pier, Rhode Island, on September 20. r,i(Ml. about one and a half months preceding the election. He had faithfully and most ably represented the district in Congress for twenty- four years, or almost a quarter of a century. He was one of the greatest statesmen and diplomats ever produced by the United States, and was recognized as the best authority in the country on International Law. W'e had lost the great services of a man of unblemished manhood, and an incorruptible Christian gentleman. On his fair name there never has been the taint of unrighteousness, a gentleman of the highest type, and a citizen above reproach. His death created a vacancy, and Governor Deneen called a special election to fill that vacancy to be held on Novem- ber 6, lOOC), the same day as the holding of the general election. The Republican Congressional committee of the Thirteenth Illinois district met at the Brewster House, at Freeport. Illinois, on Monday afternoon. October 1. I'.kmi. at 2.30 o'clock. There they nominated Frank Orren Lowden, who was also the nominee for the full term, to fiill the vacancy caused by the death of Congressman Robert Roberts Hitt. The Republican committeemen present, who named Lowden for the vacancy in Congress were. R. E. Eaton, of Carroll Count)- ; Walter S. Eaton, of Jo Daviess County; Warren H. Badger, of Lee Count}-. Dr. George M. ]\IcKenney. of Ogle County: and Dr. J. F. I'air, of Stephenson County, the chairman of the committee. The Democratic Congressional committee of the Thirteenth Illinois district met at Dixon. Illinois, on Thursday. October 18. 190(). and THE SAf^K OK SlXXrSSlPPI, nominated James Philip Wilson, of Polo, who was also the Democratic nominee for the fttU term, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Congressman Hitt, The Democrats, however, paid but little attention to the short term, and concentrated all their efforts on the full term of two years, as Wilson's name was left off the official l)allot for the vacancy term. The contest between Lowden and Wilson was attracting attention, not only in the State of Illinois, but throughout the United States. This year the district was regarded as a doul)tful one, with a good fighting chance for the election of Wilscni. The strong Republican district was now hanging in the balance. Both candidates put forth their best efforts, both were popular, both were able and brainy men, and both were confident that on the morrow victory w'ould perch upon his own banner. Finally election day, Tuesday, November G, 1906, dawned, and on that fair autumnal day, with the farmers busy as bees in the corn-field, with the rooster crowing, and the elephant snorting, came the struggle of the ballots. It was a beautiful day, fair, clear and mild, and although the sun cast its golden rays to earth but a few moments at a time, still all indications pointed to a Republican day. It was what we call Republican weather. Inasmuch that 190<1 was an off" year, nexertheless a heavy vote was polled throughout the district. Of course a few of the citizens who generallv talk the loudest. l)ut when it comes time for action are always cowards, stayed at home. At last when the ballots had been officially counted, it was found that Frank Orren Lowden, the Sage of Sinnissippi, was the victor in a close contest. He had been elected to his first pitblic office, that of Representative in Congress. He had never held public office before. His was the only name appearing on the official ballot for the unexpired or sluirt term in Congress, and he was elected to fill the vacancy caused l)y the death of Congressman Hitt. as well as to the full term of two years. There was but a light and scattering \-ote cast for the unexpired term, owing to the fact that the Democratic x'oters ga\'e little or no attention to that office, but were eager to \(ite for their candidate for the full term in Congress. Wilson's name was written in for the unex- pired or short term by a feu- of his frienils. The following is the official result of the \-ote for the tuiexpired or sIk irt term : Illinois Thirteenth District, November f,. f'.KMi. For Congressman.

I. l-iubendall ( Soc. ) "271 It will he seen that Lowden had a plurality of 1,84-'! votes over Wilson, and had a majority over all the candidates of 77S \(}tes. Again he had won a signal victorv and had the honor of defeating the strongest Democrat, and one of the ablest legislators of the district. Lowden had a Jiard fight for the nomination at the primaries against the eloquent Landon. and another hard fight for election against the shrewd and aide \\ ilson. But of course he had been opposed by two of the best and ablest men in the district. Lowden had carried four counties. Carroll. Lee, Ogle and Whiteside, while Wilson carried the Republican counties of Jo Daviess and Stephenson. Again Lowden had turned a seeming defeat into a signal victory, though the majority was small. On the day following the election, when the result was known beyond a doubt, Congressman-elect Lowden received the following message from his opponent : I'olo, Xov. 7, 190(3. Hon. Frank O. Lowden. ()keoox. L.l. The people have elected you. I hojje you will be an efficient servant. Mav vour record be replete with earnest efforts in the interests of the people. J.WIES T\ WiESON. Lowden had run behind his associates on the Republican ticket in every countv in the district, hut that was anticipated owing to the great personal popularity of his ri\al, but at some points where it was antici- pated that Wilson would run the strongest, he failed to come u[) to expectations and Lowden was the gainer thereby. My home township and our neighboring townships were carried bv Lowden. He had made a name for himself throughout the entire nation by winning this hard fought battle. He had attracted national attention, and his political star glittered with an amazing brilliancy and splendor. He was thankful to the jieople for their expression of confidence in him as their servant, at the polls, his friends rejoiced and the loval Republicans were jubilant. On the other hand the Democrats, and wavering Republicans, were sad and disheartened by the defeat of their able chieftaiiE The verdict at the polls had been that Wilson shoukl continue superintending his farm, that Logan should preach the gospel with more earnestness than e\er, and not dabble in politics, and that "'Rube" Rubendall, the Socialist, who had received only ."271 votes, which however, was 271 votes more than any Socialist ought to receive, should remain in private life as of yore. Only one man could win, and the others must lose. Congress convened on Monday, December 3, 1906, this being the second session of the Fifty-ninth Congress. Frank Orren Lowden, armed with a certificate of election as Representative in Congress, signed by his friend and former conqueror, Governcir Charles Samuel Deneen, of Illinois, appeared at the bar, in the LI()use of Representatixes to l)e THE SAGE OF SINNISSIPPI. ciiAKi.ios i:r(;KXK FriJ,i:i;.

He was sworn in by Speaker Joseph Gtirney Canunn. his trne frieml, wIki administered the oath of office, and he tonk his seat as the successor of tlie lamented and beloved Congressman Rol)ert Rol)erts Hitt. to fiU ont his unexpired term in the Fifty-ninth Congress. Speaker Cannon appointed Congressman Lowden as a memlier of the committee on Foreign Affairs, of which committee his predecessor had ser\'ed as cliairman with distinguished abihty for many years. Tliis committee was one of the most important in Congress, and for a new memlaer just commencing his service in the House of Representatives, it was indeed a distinguished mark of lionor to be ])laced upon this committee, as such is seldom the case. Robert G. Cousins, of L^wa, had succeeded tbe late Congressman Hitt, as the chairman of the committee on Foreign Affairs, at the beginning of the second session of the Fiftv-ninth Congress. The associ- ates of Congressman Lowden upon this committee were the following distinguished gentlemen : Charles Beary Landis, of Indiana, perhaps the ablest of the distin- guished Landis brothers : James Breck Perkins, of Xew York ; 1 )avid Johnson Foster, of Vermont; Theobald Otjen, of Wisconsin; Mai. lAdin Ballon Capron, of Rhode Island; Nicholas Longworth. of ()hi(j. son-in-law of President Theodore Roosevelt; Jacob Sloat Fassett. of X'ew ^'ork : Edwin Denby. of Michigan; \\'illiam Brown McKinley, of Illinois ; Allen Foster Cooper, of Pennsylvania ; William Marcellus Howard, of Georgia; Henry Delaware Flood, of \'irginia ; Charles Arnette Towne, of New York; William Bailey Lamar, of Florida; \\'illiam Sarsfield McNarv, of Massachusetts ; and John Nance Garner, of Texas. He was therefore associated upon this important committee with some of the ablest men in Congress. Congressman Lowden was fortunate in having appointed James R. Cowley, of Freeport, as his private Secretary, a shrewd newspaper man and politician, of Stephenson County. Lowden served with manv dis- tinguished men in the Fifty-ninth Congress.

The Republicans had an (overwhelming majority in both branches of Congress, a majority of 2(> in the Senate and of 114 in the House of Representati\-es, or almost two to one. in both legislative branches. Congressman Lowden was not so fortunate as to serve with the following men who had been members of the Fifty-ninth Congress, and who had attended the first session of that Congress, but who in the meantime THE SAGE OF SIXMSSIPl'I. eitlier dieil i>v resigned, and one nienilier luuing- Ijeen unseatetl. all having transpired before the beginning of the second session, as follows: John Sebastian Little, of Arkansas, elected Governor of Arkansas; James Norris Gillett, of California, elected (Governor of California : Frank Bosvvorth Brandegee, of Connecticut, i)ronioted to the United States Senate; Rufus Ezekiel Lester, of Georgia, deceased; Col. Benjamin Franklin Marsh, of Illinois, deceased : James Alexander Hemenway, of Indiana, promoted to the United States Senate ; Capt. Xewton Whiting Gilbert, of Indiana, resigned, to accept a judgeship; Rockwood Hoar, of Massachusetts, deceased; Ernest E.

Then there was Robert Roberts Hitt, of Illinois, deceased, the ablest of them all, whom Lowden had succeeded. llie Illinois delegation in this Congress was one of the ablest that had ever represented our State. The nation was proud of such men as Mann. Wilson, Knopf, Boutell, Foss, Fuller, Lowden, McKinney, Prince, Sterling, Speaker Cannon, McKinley, Rainey. Chapman and Smith. Then also her "kids." "babes" or "youngsters," as they were frequently called, on her Congressional delegation, namely : Wharton. Michalek, McGavin, Rives and Dickson, had all acquitted themselves honorably and creditably, and even though young in years they were considered men of sterling worth. Anthony Michalek, of Illinois, the first man of Bohemian blood in America ever elected to Congress, was the youngest member of both houses of the Fifty-ninth Congress, being twenty-seven years of age when he entered the Congressional halls. Illinois also had the Speaker of the House of Representatives. Joseph Gurney Cannon, and was one of the most influential states in shaping the destinies of the nation. Manv of the other states also presented delegations composed of distinguished and efficient men. I'rom Indiana, two brothers sat side by side ably representing that State in Congress, Charles Beary Landis and Frederick Landis. Two brothers also represented the State of X'orth Carolina, William \\'alton Kitchin and Claude Kitchin, whose father. Capt. William H. Kitchin. had preceded them as a Representative in Congress from the same State. Then there were man\- other dis- tinguished men in the h'iftv-ninth Congress whose fathers or near THK SA(iK UK SINNISSll'I'l. 125 relatixes liad preceded them as nieniliers of Cungress, rr else as public officials ill relation to the State or National government. I will simply mention a few of these as follows: Oscar Wilder Underwood, of Alabama, forefathers ha\-ing- ser\ed in Congress ; Frank Bosworth Brandegee, of Connecticut, whose father served in Congress: William Bailey Lamar, of Florida, forefathers having' served in Con- gress; Elbert Hamilton Hulibard. of Iowa, whose father was also a member of Congress: Samuel Matthews Robertson, of Louisiana, who succeeded his father in Congress ; Rockwood Hoar, of Massachusetts, a son of the late United States Senator, George Frisbie Hoar, both deceased; Col. Butler Ames, of ^Massachusetts, son of Gen. Adelbert .\mes. Governor of Mississippi, and grandson of Gen. Benjamin Franklin Butler, Governor of Massachusetts, both leading Commanders in the Civil War and both serving in Congress; Edwin Den1:)y, of Michigan, son of Col. Charles Denby, United States Minister to China: Benjamin Grubb Humphreys, of Mississippi, son of a former Governor of Miss- issippi ; John Sharp W"illiams. of Mississippi, forefathers having served in Congress ; \\ illiam Randolph Hearst, of New York, whose father was a I'nited States Senator from California; Frank Jacob Le Fevre, of New York, whose father served in Congress; James Wolcott Wadsworth. of New York, son of Gen. James Samuel Wadsworth, famous Commander who was killed in the Civil War; Charles Randolph Thomas, of North Carolina, whose father was also a member of Congress ; Nicholas Long- worth, of Ohio, son of a famous jurist, and son-in-law of the President of the LTnited States; Beman Gates Dawes, of Ohio, whose father served in Congress ; Wyatt Aiken, of South Carolina, son of a Congress- man : Walter Preston Brownlow, of Tennessee, whose uncle was Go\ernor and also United States Senator from Tennessee ; Morris Sheppard, of Texas, who succeeded his father in Congress ; Thomas Beall Davis, of Virginia, whose brother was United States Senator, and the defeated Democratic candidate for Vice-President of the United States in 1904, and others too numerous to mention, who came from a distinguished ancestry. A rather striking coincidence was the fact that Col. Butler Ames, of Massachusetts, and Benjamin Grubb Humphreys, of Mississippi, were fellow members of this Congress, whose fathers had played a conspicuous part in the history of Mississippi during the Reconstruction period. The father of the former. Gen. Adelbert Ames, bv authority of the United States government had by force removed the father of the latter. Gen. Benjamin Grubb Humphreys, from the office of Governor of Mississippi, and was appointed as his successor in that capacity. They had fought against each other in the Civil War and were bitter enemies, and now their sons sat side by side in Congress, friends and associates in the greatest era of prosjierity that our young Republic has ever known. In the United States Senate were also found men of distinguished ancestrv such as the following named Senators: Morgan Gardner THE SAGE OF SIXNISSIPPI. JOSKPH GURNET CANNON. Speaker of the House of Representatives of the Congress of the United States. THK SAGK OK SINNlSSll'PI. Bulkeley and Frank B(«\vorth Brandegee, of Connecticut; Stephen Russell Mallory, of Florida; Shelby Moore Cullom, of Illinois; Frederick- Thomas Dubois, of Idaho ; Joseph Clay Stiles Blackburn, of Kentucky : Samuel Douglas McEnery, of Louisiana; Benjamin Ryan Tillman, of South Carolina : Robert Jackson Gamble, of South Dakota ; Charles Allen Culberson, of Texas; and William Paul Dillingliam, of Vermont. Congressman Frank Orren Lowden, of Illinois, was the only member of the Lowden family who had ever become distinguished. Like many of his associates, he had not come from an American roval family, nor sprung from a distinguished stock, but he seemed nevertheless to be contented in being the only Lowden. He was forty-five years of age when he entered upon his service in Congress, in the very prime of life and in the flower of mental and physical strength. He became a leader in social circles at Washington, and at one bound sprang into the lime- light of statesmanship. He was an active, untiring and efficient servant of the common people of whom he was the commonest, and labored in behalf of their interests. He was their champion, and the voters had made no mistake in electing him as their servant in Congress. In a speech in Congress on February Kx, 1907, Congressman Lowden insisted that there should be the completest publicity of the afifairs of corporations engaged in interstate commerce, not only for the informa- tion of the public but for the best and most lasting benefit of the corporations themselves. It was one of the best and ablest speeches ever delivered during the sessions of the Fifty-ninth Congress, and we reprint from the Congressional Record the entire speech. Congressman Lowden spoke as follows : Mr. Chairman: There are several bills pending before Congress which involve the relations to the public of those corporations engaged in interstate commerce. Among them is one requiring publicity on the part of those corporations. In brief, this law requires such publicity of its affairs on the part of the corporation as to afford the public a know- ledge of those things which concern the relations of the corporations to the public. It does not require the revelation of those business secrets which are important as between the corporation and its rivals. I desire to address myself to the principle of this law. I wish to state at the outset that a distinction should be made between those corporations which are in the nature of a partnership, whose securities are not dealt in by the public, and the larger corporations which in reality have become agencies of the State. It is only to the latter that the principle of publicity should apply. Publicity would enable the Congress of the L'nited States to act intelligently in reference to proposed legislation which affects corpora- tions. Up to the present time the Congress has been largely in the dark as to the real facts which existed in the particular case. Only recently the country was startled by the charge that one great railroad ■company had mortgaged its property for a large amount of money, and THE SAGE OF SINXISSIPPI. with tlie proceeds of that mortgage had gdiie int<:) the market and acquired control of a competing line. If this charge Ije true, publicity would have disclosed this danger long ago. A law. then, could have been enacted, and probably would have been enacted, requiring that no corporation engaged in interstate commerce should have the power to acquire or own shares in other transportation companies. Publicity would reveal any tendency to exceed the real power which it was in- tended to confer upon corporations and this tendency cnuld be checked by law. Publicity would also discover an\- dangers of corporation development which menace the public. Without publicity the hann is frequently done before any effective action can be taken. Publicity is desirable for other reasons. The total wealth oi the United States, according to the figures of the census of litOO, is $90,000,000,000. It is stated on excellent authority that one-fifth of this total is in coi-porations which would become subject to the provisions of this law. There is already a vast number of our people who hold securities in these corporations. What, however, can most of them know what these securities represent, either in tangible value or in earning capacitv? They must depend for their knowledge of their propertv upon rumors in the newspapers and quotations in the stock market. Opportunity is thus afforded to the unscrupulous manipulator upon the stock exchange to set in circulation all kinds of slanders and depress the stock. In the condition of panic which follows, he can frighten the legitimate investor in that stock into selling for whatever he can get. Then, when the manipulator has acquired all the stock he desires, he takes his hand from off the market, and the stock rises once more to its real value or beyond it, for speculative purposes again. The result of this is not only a great financial loss to those who can least afford it, hut thev also "lose something more, and that is confidence in our commercial conditions. Let this confidence disappear and havoc always comes. To illustrate: It is not only important that our banks should be safe, but that the people of this country should know this fact. A distinguished member of this House gave me only the other day an illustration of this in the city where he lives. A woman visited one Saturday afternoon the savings bank in which she had a substantial deposit.' She saw upon the door of the bank the sign, "Bank closed." She misunderstood this sign and started the report that this bank, one of the soundest in the city, had failed. A disastrous run ensuec and the bank survived only through the generous aid its rivals gave. Confidence in our business institutions is the life-blood of commerce. This can only be gained and held !)>• the fullest and freest publicit}-. In the comple-c conditions under which we live, to throw suspicion upon the soundest business may bring wreck. Confidence in anything is impossible without knowledge. ' A Giljraltar obscured in fogs no Ir.nger seems a fortress to the world. . . Manv businesses, which insist im secrecy in their Inisiness. injure no THf; SAGK OF Sl.XXISMI'PI. one quite so much as themselves. Any curp. .ration which conceals its assets and its earnings is popularly supposed to earn incomparalily larger returns upon its capital than it actually does. 1 \enture to say that the money invested in the average corporation a i|uarter of ,i century ago certainly, a half century ago — if it had been inxestcd in farm lands in the Mississippi \'alley. wf.uld toilay realize more to the investor than it now does. .\nd yet the farmer in that region, knouhig nothing for certain and listening only to the extravagant stories told of its wealth. is impelled to believe that the generous returns which the land he then purchased yields do not begin to compare with the dividends .the investor in corporate stock receives. The feeling of distrust he thus cherishes would never have found lodgment in his brain if the corporation had l)een simply frank with the public. Secrecy defeats its own object. It only magnifies in the average mind what it aims to minimize. The smallest shareholder in one of these corporations is entitled by every standard of business ethics to as complete knowledge as is the most powerful "insider." Make it possible for the owner of a single share of stock to feel the same security and share on equal terms with the largest stockholder the privileges of the corporation, and the money of the people will go. not into savings banks, but into the business of the country. (Applause.) Hundreds of thousands of people, therefore, would become equal partners in proportion to their investments in the expanding industries of today. They now prefer the small interest which they receive from the banks they regard secure to an interest in a cor- poration, of the affairs of which only a small group has any accurate knowledge. Their money would thus, instead of earning more for those already rich, return to its owners the increment it actuafly creates. Publicity of its affairs would lift the management of a corporation to a higher plane. The majority of men who are charged with the care of corporations are not different from other men. It is not true that thev carry other ideas of business ethics into their corporate management than obtain with them elsewhere. It must be confessed, however, that there are men in control of corporations, j.ust as there are in everv other walk of life, whom this visitorial power is needed to keep within their proper sphere. With the latter class, publicity by itself would restrain them from much that is wrong. Equally important, however, is it to the great body of honest corporate officials. They shrink from taking rebates, but if their competitor has this advantage they can see nothing but business ruin unless they, too, give way to this pernicious practice. They know that to bribe an official to escape the payment of just taxes is a detestable wrong. At first they refuse, ^\■hen they learn that their rivals have committed this offense, they, too, are tempted to vield in order that competition may be upon equal terms. I might multiply these illustrations, but it hardly seems necessary. Publicity would hold the dishonest corporate manager up to shame and fortify the honest manager in his purpose to walk within the lines of right and law. THE SARE OF Sl.XNISMPPI. 'I'here i> nothing new in the principle cif this legislation. Alore than forty years ago, when national banks were authorized, the government reserved the right to examine minutely into their affairs and required reports. If there is any business which is sensitive to a visitorial power from without, it is the business of the l)anker. And yet who can doubt but that publicity, which has been impressed upon these institutions, has l)een of infinite good ? How (jften has the hand of the manager of one of these banks been stayefl when tempted to use the funds of the bank for private speculations ? Who can say how many panics liave been averted during this time Ijy the re(|uirements of this law? The corporations complain to-day that the peojjle are so prejudiced against corporations that they can not do tiiem justice. There is much of truth in this. But who is ])riniarily to blame for this unfortunate con- dition? Is it not in a large measure the corporations themselves i^ I recall the fact that when the railroad first came to the \^'est, it was welcomed by the people. Those wdio built it were hailed as benefactors, as indeed they were; for without the railroad the most productive portions of our country would still be on the frontier. In the early days of the railroad it was treated not only fairly, but generously, by the people. How did it repay the people for this treatment? In some instances it used its popularity and growing power to attempt to dictate the politic.^ of a State. It intrigued for the elevation of some one to the bench whose decisions would 1)e favorable to the railroad. I recall that when I first came to the bar it was the quite general practice for railroad companies to resist any claim made upon them, whether just or not. One frequently heard railroad officials declare that the railroad company must resist any suit brought against it; must, by technical defenses and long delays, wear out the litigant, so that in the future men would not dare prosecute these railroad companies in the courts. What was the result? The people became justly irritated. Xew parties arose. The granger move- ment swept o\er the West. -\ny economic policy, no matter how un- sound, promising to overcome the abuses of the railroads was given a welcrmie hearing. All suffered, and the railroad companies not least of all. Receiverships came in a large number, and the railroad companies became sobered bv adversity. .\fter a while they found that they could not win a jury case, even wdiere the merits were plainly with them. They then discovered that their policy had been altogether wrong. Many of them reversed this ])olicv and adopted the wiser one of settling every just claim. But the liarm had been done and the railroad companies are suffering to-day from the mistaken policy of those early years. Aljout twenty years ago the interstate commerce act became a law. The principle of this law was sound: it simply aimed to prevent a rail- road company from using its vast i)o\\er arbitrarily to build up one individual at the expense of his business ri\al or one community at the expense of another. And to-da}- the best men in the railroad world admit THE SAGE OK SINXIS.SIPI'1. the soundness of tliis principle. W'liat, liowever, did most of tlie railroad companies do then? Instead of admitting- the wisdom and justice of the law. they set their finely organized legal departments to work to thwarr. obstruct and nullify the law in every way they could. Who can doubt but that if the railroad companies at that time had co-operated with the Commission. U> the end that the law might be enforced, they would be infinitely better ofl:' to-day. and in the meantime would have been spared manv a stretch of thorny road ? I remember that years ago the city of Chicago, where I then lived, passed an ordinance requiring the gradual elevation of the railroad tracks within the limits of the city. The railroad companies had bitterly op- posed this ordinance. It was alleged by them that to comply with the terms of this ordinance would bankrupt every railroad company entering Chicago. Elaborate figures were prepared, which seemed to prove their claim. The railroad companies, howe\er. were worsted in this fight. Recently I chanced to be riding out of Chicago with a high official of one of these roads. I asked him how track elevation had affected them in practice. He told me that, merely from a selfish standpoint, they had never made a better investment. This instance illustrates the great truth that what is best for the public is also, in the long run, best iov the corporation. It is ecjually true that any legislation which does an injustice to the corporation must, in the end, injure the whole people. For if you render insecure any class of investment, capital will pass by- There is a striking illustration before us now. It appears that from 1893 to 1905 the track mileage of the railroads of the United States increased abotit one-fifth, and the freight ton-mileage increased about one and one- fifth. The result is that there is to-day a freight blockade which is par- alyzing the commerce of the country. Nor is that all. The increase in the railroad mileage of the country was less in 190(3 than at any time for thirty years, though it is perfectly obvious that there never was so great a need for increase as now. Does not this come in a large measure from the fear of government ownership of the public-utilitv corporations, and the uncertainty as to what the attitude of the public toward them will be in the future? Can yoti expect men to invest their money in an enterprise which a large body of the people declare that this government should take over at its own price? We are just beginning to learn that the industries of this country are so related, so mutually interdependent, that fairness and justice to every one of them is essential to the welfare of the whole. It is equally true that no interest can gain a special advantage at the expense of the public which will not, in the long run, react upon itself. The sole inquiry with reference to legislation upon this subject should be : \\'ill such legislation benefit the country as a whole?' If it will not stand this test, it will benefit no one in the end. Expediency has always been the first milestone in the painful progress of the race to a higher individual, national, and political life. Our ances- THE SAGE OF SINXIftSIPPI. ti)r.s found that lite was easier and pleasanter when tliev decided among" themselves to create values rather than steal them. Laws were enacted against larceny, ^^'hat at first was only a sense of expediency in some mys- terious way after a while became worked up into conscience, and a theft .seemed to scar the soul. Even then the nation thought it could gain by dis- honest practices. It enjoined one code of morals u]K)n its subjects and practiced another upon its neighbors. It encouraged the people to shun falsehood, at the same time it decorated its diplomats who had lied successfully to a foreign court, and beheaded those who had been be- trayed into telling the truth. But the nations learned that perlidy in their relations with one another resulted in devastating and needless wars. Fallow fields and silent workshops, desolate firesides and bankrupt treasuries, suggested an extension of the law of honesty so that it should apply to nations in their intercourse with one another, until to-day nations have almost developed conscience. Corporate interests, too, must learn that every immunity or benefit secured at the expense of the public becomes a menace, not a gain. A corporation, it may be. desires a franchise from the public. It argues that securing the franchise will result in the public good. This meritori- ous end is made to justify dishonest means. The people, however, have never taken kindly to this precept, which is the first principle in the dex'il's own casuistry. They soon come to suspect that every measure which this corporation presents contains a co\ert steal. Finally it can only secure what the public would otherwise gladly give by a purchase of cor- rupt officials whom the corporation taught their trade. It finds that at the same time it first bribed a council or a legislature, it sowed a crop of dragon's teeth which has sprung up into an anny of mailed highway- men. Crirporations must learn the lesson that honesty is the best policy in their dealings with the public. Irrespective of the question of ethics, that corporation is the wisest wliich meets the public honesth-. Any c<:>ntest between it and the peoijle in which it does not employ honest means to an honest end must ultimately result in defeat, if not destruc- tion. I do not wish to be mistmderstood. I do not commend honesty as a rule of conduct for the reason only that it is the best policy. But human nature is so constituted and self-interest is so powerful a motive that the a\erage man will read the decalogue in a new light when he has discovered that every one of its laws leads to a higher and more perfect happiness. Isn't it time for the senseless war between the corporations and the l)ublic to end? That abuses grow out of corporations just as they do out of e\erv other human institution no one can den_\-. But wlien those abuses come and Congress feels constrainetl to act, what is the answer of the corporations themselves? They suggest nothing but that the\- be left alone. Thev hold sullenly aloof and resent any suggesti..>n that legislation could possibly help. •AGK OK SlN.M.S.slPPI. In a state of war it almost al\\a\s happens tliat reprisals are made by either side. It douhtless sometimes happens that the reprisals are made by the g-o\-ernment. It also happens at other times that the reprisals are made 1)y the corporation upon the public. This is an unhappy con- dition in which the people suffer at both times. If injustice is rendered to the corporation, tiie development of our resources is checked and the people suffer. If, however, the corporations make reprisals on the public, the public suff'ers again. Whichever way the pendulum swings the public uniformly loses. Wouldn't it be better, infinitely better, if the public and the corporation, in lieu of this state of war, were to seek a common ground of justice and fairness to all? In the labor world we are told bv experts on both sides that conciliation is rapidly coming to take the place of open war, and even arbitration. Is it not possible that a like principle shall one day rule the relations between the puljlic and the corporations? Open and unchecked warfare between them must finally result in one of two things? Either the supremacy of the corporations over the government, which means the passing of the American democ- racy, or the acquisition by the public of the means of production and dis- tribution, which equally signifies the triumph of socialism. I can not believe that the .American people desire either of these extremes. A great opportunity confronts the corporations of this country. Cor- porate ownership is upon trial. So far, in the main, it has proven a beneficent influence in the development of our common country. If, however, the good it brings to the people as a whole shall be exceeded bv the evils it bears in its train, it is doomed to perish. Under the operation of a law which supersedes all human laws, no human institution can endure unless it renders a real service to mankind. The earth is filled with giant forms of life long dead, which ceased to be because in the evolution of the universe they no longer performed functions of use to the world. The time has come when corporations must decide whether they will jeopardize the security of property for all the future in order to gain a temporary advantage for to-day. On the one hand is private propertv, under the law, and on thfe other a socialistic state, from which Americans must shrink. Let there be light. \\'hen fair-minded men agree upi >n the facts they do not differ much as to conclusions. Prejudice on either side is born of ignorance. Bacon says: "Suspicions among thoughts are like bats among birds ; they fly ever best at twilight." Let in the light. These agencies of the public, called "corporations" will then obey their mission. Creatiims of the State, they then will be made to serve the purpose of their creator. Who can rightly object to this pulilicity? Someone, perhaps, may say that it is an interference with the exercise of property rights. I answer that this is one of the functions of government. The moment man emerged from savagery he began io circumscribe man's property rights. To protect and to limit propert)- rights are the dual office of the 134 THK SAGK OF SINNISSU-FI. State.

Some of the most prominent nienihers of tiie l<'iftv-ninth Congres.? liad been defeated either for a renoniination. or for re-election to the Sixtieth Congress, some of whom may be mentioned, as follows: John Hollis Bankhead, of Alabama, who had served for ten consecutive terms, or twenty years : Charles Stewart Wharton, Anthony Michalek, Zeno J. Rives and Frank Stoddard Dickson, of Illinois ; William T. ZenoV, George Washington Cromer and Frederick Landis, of Indiana : Alaj. John Fletcher Lacey, of Iowa; James Montgomery Richardson and Frank A. Hopkins, of Kentucky; Thomas Alexander Smith, of Mary- land; Roswell P. Bishop, of Michigan; Prof. James Thompson McCleary and Clarence B. Buckman, of Alinnesota; Frank B. Klepper, Frank Bal- lard l*"u!kerson, John ^^'elborn, Alarion Edward Rhodes, William Thomas Tyndall and Arthur Phillips Murphy, of Missouri; John Lauderdale Kennedy, of Nebraska; James W'olcott Wadsworth. of Xew York; Edniond Spencer Blackburn, of North Carolina; William Wildman Campbell, Gen. Charles Henry Grosvenor and Martin Luther Smyser, of Ohio; Thomas Henry Dale, Mial E. Lilley, Elias Deemer, Dr. Edmund William Samuel and Gustav Adolph Schneebeli, of Pennsyl- vania; Eben Wexer Martin and Charles Henry Burke, of South Dakota; Capt. Blackburn Barrett Dovener, of West Virginia ; Joseph Weeks Bab- cock and Theobald Otjen, of Wisconsin. Many new faces were to be seen in the House of Representatives in the Sixtieth Congress, and several distinguished gentlemen entered as members of the United States Senate for their maiden service, the new members being; Jefferson Davis, of Arkansas; Simon Guggenheim, of Colorado; Harrv A. Rich- ardson, of Delaware; William Edgar Borah, of Idaho; Charles Curtis, of Kansas ; Thomas H. Paynter. of Kentucky ; William Alden Smith, of Michigan ; Joseph Moore Dixon, of Montana ; Norris Brown, of Ne- braska; Jonathan Bourne. Jr.. of Oregon; Roliert Lo\e Tavlor, of Ten- nessee, and Alaj. Frank O. Briggs, of New Jersey. The United States Senate was Republican by o2 majority, an increase of six over their majority in the Fifty-ninth Congress, while the House of Representatives was also Republican by a majority of 60, a decrease of fifty-four from their majority in the previous Congress. There were no Populists, Socialists, or Prohibitionists, in either branch of Congresr.. The Populist party, which had started out so well in IS'JO and 1892 by electing members of their party as (lovernors. Representatives in Con- gress, United States Senators, and members of the various State Legislatures, and in 1892 had polled more than a million votes, was THK SACK niiw a i)art\- (if the past, a has-l)een. It was a corpse and absolutely (lead. I^'usion liad been its death angel. The Prohibition party hafl made l)tit little headway since its organiza- tion, althongh advocating Infty and righteous principles and fighting for a worthy cause. It \\;is unable to arouse any great degree of enthusiasm for its standard. The Socialists have shown some strength, but niit being blessed by the best class of citizens in their ranks, nor by any popular demand for the principles they set forth, that party in time will also be buried alongside of its neighbnrs, the I'opulist and Greenback- parties, in a political grave which knows no resurrection. The Socialist party is a mere sham. The only parties of any prowess, competent to struggle for the contrdl of ( nu" government, its functions and its posi- tions, are the Republican and the Democratic, and until a new party can be formed, wliich can attract the people in a wave of popularity with better and more popular reforms, and noliler principles, the two old parties must and will prevail. Let us now return to the business life of CLiugressman Frank Orren Liiwden. At one time in his business activity he was connected as stdfkholder and official with various corporations. He was a Director ill/ the American Radiator Company; Director in the Central Trust Company; Director in the National Bank of the Republic; Trustee in the London Guarantee and Accident Company ; Director, and also Vice- President, in the National Biscuit Company; Director in the Pullmaii L(i;in and Sa\-ings Bank, and also Director in The Pullman Company, of which Capt. Robert Todd Lincoln, the illustrious son of our beloved niartvr President, Abraham Lincoln, was President. These corporations were all in the city of Chicago. On entering politics he ceased business activity and retired from these various corporations, selling his Pullman stock, and being succeeded as a director in that company by Charles S. Sweet. He also severed his connection with each of the other corpora- tions and devoted his entire attention to his large farming interests in Ogle Count}-, and to serving the people of his Congressional district as their Representative in Congress. He liad succeeded a wealthy man as Congressman, Millionaire Lowden succeeding Alillionaire Hitt, but even with all their wealth, they were men of honesty and irreproachable character, and not a mere sham like such men >-ISSUM'I. Avith the Lnrinier "machine,"' and at the Repul)hcan state couxention at Peoria in 1900. as a delegate to that convention, he had not been one of the Hanecy, or Lorimer "machine delegates," but had been one of the two delegates in Cook County who had voted for Richard Yates for Governor from the beginning of the balloting. Lowden had been a resident of three different States, first Minnesota by nativity, then Iowa by adoption, and finally Illinois by adoption and distinction. He was born in the wilds of Minnesota, where the Indian savages were in the great majority. Bom in the State made famous by such distinguished men as : Knute Nelson, Cushman Kellogg Davis, Alexander Ramsey, Col. Stephen Miller. Gen. Henry Hastings Sibley, John Sargent Pills- bury, Gen. Lucius Frederick Hul)bard, Gen. William Rainey Alarshall, \\'illiam Rush Merriam. John Lind, Alphonso Barto, Ignatius Donnelly, William Hall Yale, Albert E. Rice, Col. Hans Mattson, Gen. James Heaton Baker, Francis Baasen, Albert Berg, Peter E. Hanson, Frederick P. Brown, Charles Kittelson, Capt. William Wallace Braden, Samuel G. Iverson, Adolph Biermann, Moses Edwin Clapp, Henry Warren Childs, John A. Johnson, Samuel R. Van Sant, Charles Monroe Start, Christopher Gore Ripley, Capt. Loren Warren Collins, W'illiam Windom, Dwight May Sabin, William Drew Washburn, Col. Mark Hill Dunnell, Gen. John Thomas Averill, Solomon Gilman Comstock, Kittel Halvor- son, James Albertus Tawney, Prof James Thompson McCleary, Loren Fletcher, Haldor E. Boen, Joel Prescott Heatwole, Page Morris, Frank ]\Iarion Eddy, Charles Russell Davis, J. Adam Bede, Andrew J. Volstead, Halvor Steenerson, Charles A. Lindbergh, Jens Kristian Grondahl, Frank B. Kellogg, and many others. Then he had been reared, educated, and had spent his early life in our neighboring State of Iowa, a commonwealth distinguished by such able men as : William Boyd Allison, Samuel Jordan Kirkwood, James Harlan, Gen. John Henry Gear, Gilbert N. Haugen, Leslie Mortimer Shaw, Gen. Francis Marion Drake, Gilbert S. Gilbertson, Maj. Edwin Hurd Conger, Capt. John Albert Tiffin Hull, Jonathan Prentiss Dolliver, Albert Baird Cummins, James Wilson, James Falconer Wilson, Josiah Bushnell Grinnell, Col. David Bremner Henderson, Col. William Peters Hepburn, Robert G. Cousins, Maj. John Fletcher Lacey, Horace Boies, Alva Licander Hager. Elbert Hamilton Hubbard, John Taylor Hamilton, Gen. James Baird Weaver, John Young Stone, La Vega George Kinne, John Adams Kasson, Walter Ingalls Hayes, Isaac S. Struble, George Martin Curtis, George Washington McCrary, Asahel Wheeler Hubbard, Gen. Grenville Mellen Dodge, Frank Darr Jackson, Col. Cyrus Clay Carpenter, William Larrabee, Capt. Buren Robinson Sherman, James Wilson Grimes, James Wilson McDill, Ralph Phillips Lowe, Col. William Milo Stone. Frank Hatton, and numerous others. Frank Orren Lowden had led a varied life, first being a fanner, then in succession a teacher, stenographer, lawyer, military officer, business man, again a farmer, and best of all, a public official and nation builder. THK SAGE OF SIXNISSlPin. But ill each he has attained a reniarkal)le degree of success, wliatever he undertook he did thoroughly and well, and dame fortune always seemed to favor him. Of the aggressive Americanism of this land of self-made men, he is a splendid type. A poor farmer's son, born on the ^Minnesota frontier, first he defied po\erty and hardship, acquired an education through his own efforts, gained admission to the bar. achieved signal success in his chosen profession, and last, best of all. when recog- nition, wealth and standing came to him in abundant measure, the temptation to indolence could not swerve him from the simple, funda- mental principles of industry, honesty and character which have marked his life. A firm believer in the nobility of labor, and the gospel of democracy, he has steadfastly and unfalteringly pursued the life of strenuous endea\or and elevated purpose. In stature he was of medium height, squarely built, muscular and strong, with a pleasant countenance. In manner he was plain and agreeable. He was outspoken in his con- victions of duty. He is genial, courteous and dignified. His life work is written plainly in the chronicles of time, and his life I'as been an open book. His habits were exemplary, and he has alwavs lieen a model Christian gentleman. He was social in his habits, warm-hearted and free in his intercourse, bold and fearless in the promulgation and advo- cacy of his political opinions, withal public spirited and a leader among men. He was possessed of fine abilities and a true Lincolnian character. I am embarrassed by the poverty of my language — to add any further tribute to this splendid type of manhood, this brilliant statesman, and the plain and common language I have used throughout this work, does not even in a measure do justice to such an excellent character, or justify the limited portrayal of his qualities. It seems to me that his greatness has merely been begun and that he is but making his initial appearance, a debut in public life. Great things are in store for him. he is simply in the bud of true statesmanship, and we are looking forward to a time in the near future, when he will bloom like others before him who have made their marks in life, as the truly great men of our nation. Endowed with abundant talents and clothed with a strong will power, we can but see as we look across the valley, unto yonder ruddy horizon, and gaze in the far distant upon that sun-kissed pedestal of fame, that dome of true greatness, that his star is not only illumined like unto a plumed ec>nil)atant fur the right, but that it is >>n its i inward course to ascendency.

Such in l)rief is a simple and plain sketch of the busy and eminent life of Congressman Frank Orren Lowden, of Oregon. Illinois, the Sage of Sinnissippi. For President of the Uniteh States in 1908. CONGRESSMAN FRANK ORREX LOWDEN, OF ILLINOIS. The Republican party of the Nation will undoubtedly be compelled to look about for a new standard bearer for the coming political battle to be fought out in 1908. President Theodore Roosevelt is virtually serving his second term as President of the L^nited States, although \vc admit that his first term was an accidental one. Nevertheless, he will have served, at the completion of his present term, seven and a half years in that capacity. This must be candidly conceded to be two terms. Gen. George Washington, our first President, in his wisdom, wisely set a precedent that a President should not serve more than two terms. That precedent has been followed by his successors in office until the present day. It is my hope that such a wise precedent will always be followed in the future, unless the people should adopt an amendment to the Constitution lengthening the term of office of the President, and limiting him to one term, and one term only. President Roosevelt has stated that he considers it his second term of office, and that he will not be a candidate for re-election. The people Ijelieve that he is a man of his word, and are confident that he will fulfill that promise, no matter who is placed at the head of the Democratic ticket, whether it be Col. William Jennings Bryan, or his true friend, Roger C. Sullivan. There has been organized but recently what is known as a Roosevelt Third Term National League, formed for the sole purpose of com- pelling our worthy President to break the wise precedent established, bv our beloved Washington. These unwise men should carefully read the hand-writing upon the wall of time. One of our esteemed and dearly beloved Presidents once made a try for a third term, but he was left at the post, and "306" loyal supporters went down to defeat w'ith him. That President w'ould not have sought a third term of his own free will, but a vain and lurid picture was drawn before him, assurances of an overwhelming and easy victory were portrayed unto him, and furthermore he was absolutely compelled to enter the race for a third term by that vain and selfish United States Senator from New York, Roscoe Conkling. Conkling was a political enemy and rival of the "plumed" statesman from Maine, James Gillespie Blaine, beloved by all the world. Conkling hated Blaine, he w-as jealous of his popularity and greatness. So it is with the Roosevelt Third Term National League, for it is vain and selfish, it absolutely worships Roosevelt above the Maker of Nations. He is their only idol. They are perhaps not alive to their idolatry, for the name Roosevelt has literally bhnded them. It is my opinion that Roosevelt, though the great man that he is, is but a human, his nature is human, and he has made his mistakes, as THE SACK or sixMssiiM'i. "well as lia\e his predecessors in ofhce. Xo man is perfect, fur if he were, he would be superhuman, and wnuld he out of place on this earth. This one-man-hero-worship is all folly. President Rousexelt has made .u good chief executixc like others before him. and has made an enviable record, but it is certainly unwise to break an established precedent, even though he could liave a third term but for the asking. The question is, will he break an example wisely set by the Father of his Country, (jen. George Washington, the noble character who was loxed with a love that is more than love, a greater num than Ri.iosexelt. in all his greatness and splendor, ever hopes to be. If he does, his ambitions are certainly selfish. But the sons and daughters of America have great faith, and place their utmost confidence in him, and belie\"e him when he says he will not be a candidate for re-elect i., II. It would please the people of Xew York immensely, and also all "her sister states, to have such a great man as President Roosevelt, at the end of his present term as President, elected as United States Sen- ator to succeed Thomas Collier Piatt. "Express Company" Piatt h'.i;^ disgraced the State of Xew York in the United States Senate, for lo! these many years. It seems rather Cjueer that the enlightened people of X^'ew York can stomach such men as Piatt, and "After-Dinner" Depew. They are rogues, and have added shame where lustre should have shown on the fair name of Xew York. But returning to the Presidential subject, and lea\ ing Piatt and Depew at the mercy of the people of X^ew York, as the iur\- to try them, suffice it to say. that from a Republican point of view, we have many good Republicans throughout the sisterhood of states, anv of whom would make a good President, without even the slightest of a doubt, and men whom no doubt would be satisfied with but one singe term, not to mention three terms. Let us scan through all our states, in order to find men of Presidential qualities, from a Republican point of view, in alphabetical order. Alabama, the first on the roll, the home of "Kissing-bug" Hobson and "Calamity-howler" Heflin, has no man of Repubhcan views within her borders who is of Presidential calibre. Alabama has never as yet produced a President, and never will, unless the "Kissing-bug" should change his political affiliations, and perhaps organize — -The Fair-Sex party. He no doubt remembers that Dewey was never elected Presi- dent. Arkansas, the home of the hot baths, the Jones family and JetT Davis, the second, never was favored with a favorite son as President, and never will be. Republicans are as scarce as hen's teeth in that State. We have now come to California, the land of the guilded metal, the home of "Duel" Terry, "Union Labor" Schmitz, "Boss" Ruef, and the famous Japanese school-boy, who is giving us so much trouble, and •ivho is the cause of so manv needless arguments. California has never Ir,ll TIIK SAliK 111 SlNMSMl'l'l. pniduceil a President, but she may some day. at least slie lives in hopes. There is hut one man among the Republicans there, who has Presidential qualities, and that man is L'nited States Senator George Clement Perkins. I regard Senator Perkins as one of the ablest men of the far West. But he is liandicappeil because of the fact that he would be unable to command a large enough following, as regards the capturing of a Presi- dential nomination. Colorado, the land of health and wealth, the abode of "Bloody- bridles" Waite, Tom Patterson and the preaching Giiverni>r, "Hank" Brchtel, never furnished a President. But the game is young yet in that state. There is a young man in that state who is unknown to the world, a minister and lecturer, who it w..uld be well for the people to bear in mind some day, for 1 regard him as i.ne of the ablest men in Colorado. If any of our Presidential makers wish to look him up in tlie Denver city directory, his name is Rev. James Abmroe Markley. His platform is "Obey the Ten Commandments." an imperious mandate which e\-en the Socialists in all their wisdom forgot in framing their hilaritv platform. It is the noblest of them all. Connecticut has no Presidential timlier in its forests. The man who is nearest to being of such caliljre. l'nited States Senator Morgan Gardner Bulkeley, is heralded as a thief, the Democrats claiming he stole the office of Governiir from them in broatl daylight, on one or two occasions. That claim is upheld by many Democratic witnesses who vouch for that they really see him steal it. It must be so. for Democrats never speak an untruth. At any rate he was Governor during one term, when his name hadn't e\en appeared on the official ballot, and he had not been voted for. Connecticut will never have a President as long as most of us li\'e. There is nothing doing in Delaware, the State of the notorious "Gas" Addicks. who for sixteen years has been afflicted with a Senatorial ambition. That ambition will cause his undoing same day, for he will die from grief and worry o\er not having had that ambition gratified. Florida, the home of "I'.lue-Socks" Call, and Georgia, the State of "Ham" Bacon and "Mud" Clay, and some lesser lights, are Democratic. There are no Republicans there. Idaho once had a man. a big-hearted, whole-souled statesman, a strong foe of Mormonism. ;ni(l a man of great abilities, who would have made a good President. It \vas the talented Frederick Thomas Dubois. But he "joined the Democrats, and that hurt his chances. Perhaps at the ele\enth hour he may return to tlie fold, and then w^e can tell you more aliout him. Illniois is the next State on the roll. an the last. By the kindness of Illinois we ha\e nnw cunie t' > the Stale i if Indiana, the home of Tom Taggart. "Stornn" Stoiaiis. I)a\e Sherrick, luigene Victor Dehs. and other famous Socialistic acrobats. lnwed to serve in that capacity. John Y. McKane. a ni:)torious criminal of Gravesend, New ^'ork. defrauded Blaine out of the position to wdiich he was elected, by making false returns to the Secretary of State. Blaine carried New \'ork in lss4. but .McKane made the manipidati(_ins which seated Cle\-c- land. The ablest man in Maine to-day, United States Senator William Pierce Frye. is too old to be considered seriously in connection with the Presidency. Maryland, the State which so long was carried around in the vest pocket of the late Arthur Pue Gorman, and which has boasted of a great man who is a near relative of the famous Napoleon Bonaparte, has no Presidential timber within its bounds. ^Massachusetts, which gave us a worthy sire and an illustrious son, as Presidents, has no favorite son to present, even though Judges Oliver Wendell Holmes and William Henry ^iloody and United States Senator Henr\- Cabrjt Lodge were considered. Neither has Michigan any Repub- lican who can be seriously considered in connection with the Presidency, ^linnesota has one of the ablest men in the country in the person of I'HE S.\(iK OK SIXXISSII'PI. Kmite Xelson. l)ut he happens td ha\e been hnni across the waters, in Norway, and is therefore ineligil)Ie. Mississippi, the liome of that traitor tu liis country, jeti'erson Davis, has no Repubhcans. tliey have either cHed or moved away. Missouri, the State that feared that murderer and bandit. Jesse James, and whose people are so bold now that they will have "to be showed." has no Repul)lican who is large enough to fill the Presidential chair. Montana, the State famed l)y such personages as Aliss Alary MacLane, who admitted she was odd, and United States Senator "Red" Clark, whose money purchased a seat in the United States Senate, has no man of Presidential qualities. Nebraska, the State of "(jrafter" Bartley and "Buffalo Bill." has no Presidential timber ; neither has Nevada, the abode of "Santa Claus" Stewart, nor the State of New Hampshire. New Jersey has United States Senator John Kean, a capable bachelor, but he is unknown in the West. New Hampshire had a President once upon a time. \\'e have now come to New York, which has produced live Presidents, three. however, being accidental Presidents. New York has two al)le men to- day who are of Presidential calibre. Elihu Root and Charles Evans Hughes. Either one of these men would make a good President. There is not much doing in North Carolina, and North Dakota is t()0 young a State to be considered, although Martin Nelson Johnson, a fi>rmer Con- gressman, and a prominent farmer, is a very able man. Ohio has one of the ablest men in the country in William Howard Taft, who would make an ideal and able President. United States Senator Joseph Benson Foraker is entirely out of the question, for his record in the Senate is not of the best, and is rather questionable. Oregon, the State that has been dishonored by such rascals as John Hippie Mitchell and John Newton Williamson, has no Presidential sons, and perhaps ne\-er will have. Pennsylvania, which was so long mis- represented by United States Senator Matthew Stanley Quay, that notorious political boss, has a true son in John Wanamaker, who would make a good President. Rhode Island has no one, for United States Senator Nelson \\'ilmarth Aldrich, the Rockefeller of the Senate, has made a weak record as a Senator. South Carolina, the State that has been disgraced Ijy "Pitchfork" Tillman, the five-cent statesman, for a number of years in the United States Senate, has no Republicans within her borders. South Dakota has no Presidential timber, but has two able sons who would do honor to the State, Charles N. Herreid and Peter Jacob Rogde. Tennessee, the commonwealth that has furnished three Presidents, has no one of Presidential calibre. Henry Clay Evans, who was elected Governor of Tennessee in 1S94, but not allowed to occupy the otifice, is a man of talents. Texas, the home of United States Senator Joseph W'eldon Bailey, who has made a weak record in the Senate, has no Republicans of any note. Utah, the home of the Mormons, can not be ICil THE SAGE OF SINXISSIPPI. serinusly coiisiilered. In \'enn()nt. United States Senator Redfield Pi-dctdr is the onlv man of Presidential (|ualities, but liis age is against him. L'nited States Senator William Paul Dillingham is also a very able man. There are but few Republicans in Virginia, the State that is entitled to the honor of being the Mother of Presidents, having pro- duced five, of whom four served two terms each. There is one man in the State of Washington who has shown himself as being ni Presi- dential calibre, and that man is Congressman Franci- \\'. Cushman. His life has l:)een very similar to that of Lincdln. one of hardship, in- cessant toil and self-support. The alilest man in ^^'est Virginia, Gen. Xathan Goff, is too old to be spciken i>f in connection with the Presidential nomination. He was elected Governor of \\'est \'irginia on one occasion, but never allowed to take his seat. L'nited States Senator Stephen Benton Elkins must not be considered, as his record as a Senator is weak and needs explana- tions. Next on the roll-call is Wisconsin. United States Senator Rol)ert Marion Lal'ollette is without doubt the greatest political reformer the world has ever known. He is as bcjld as a lion, and knows not to this day what fear is. He has luade \\'isconsin what it is to-day, one of the most prosperous and influential states in the sisterhood of states. LaFollette is to-dav as a statesman, reformer and legislator without a peer, he is the ablest of them all. Xo man of the present day compares with him in either branch of Congress. In establishing and furthering his reforms, however, he has made many enemies. Many of his col- leagues in the United States Senate dislike him because of his bold and outspoken proclivities. He has exposed many of them to the public lime- light and showed that they have been weighed in the balance and found wanting, having misrepresented the people. We lo\e him for his bold- ness, he is a dashing fellow. Governor James Ole Davidson, of Wis- consin, is a second LaFollette. liut happens to ha\-e been born in Xorway. There being no Presidential timber in Wyoming, we have at last come to Illinois. From the Wisconsin bcjundary line on the north to the ( )hi(i River on the south, from the Mississippi River on the west to the Waliash River, the Indiana boundary line, and the Lake of Michigan on the east, there lies outstretched an acreage of land that is almost fairer than dav, and by faith our sister states can see us from afar. Within these borders is contained an area of soil as fertile, productive and rich as is contained anvwhere in the world, in this, one of the grandest and noblest of our commonwealths, the State of Illinois. True, Illinois has had her Paul ( )lson Stensland, her Xewton Charles Dougherty, and her lohn A. Linn, but we are consoled by the fact that all our sister states "have also at some time or other had their Stenslands, their Doughertys, and their Linns. If we did not have such notorious embezzlers and grafters, our penitentiaries would be empty and our taxes would be lessened. \\'e are ashamed of such rascals: let us forget them. But THE SAGE OF SI>'NISSIPPI. let US look on the brighter side of our history. Illinois is the third State in the Union in population, and in representation in Congress. It is also the third in the electoral ccillege. In many respects Illinois ranks first. Illinois is the home of the corn belt, and the pride of the American farmer. Illinois ranks first in having the ablest educators. We have the ablest lady educators in the country, the prettie^t and sweetest school-ma'ams in the world. We have some of the kindest and best- natured old maids, and some of the ugliest and homeliest bachelors. But above all things, taking everything into consideration, we excel especially in having produced the greatest statesmen, diplomats, orators, and military heroes. What other State in the Union can compare favorably with this list of great, distinguished and noble characters : Abraham Lincoln, Gen. Ulysses Simpson Grant, Stephen Arnold Doug- las, Robert Todd Lincoln, Gen. John Alexander Logan, Gen. Richard James Oglesby. Gen. John McAuley Palmer, Shelby Moore Cullom, Richard Yates, the elder, Richard Yates, the younger, Daniel Pope Cook, John McLean, David Davis, Melville Weston Fuller, Joseph Gurney Cannon, Elihu Benjamin Washburne, Orville Hickman Browning, Col. Edward Dickinson Baker, Col. John J. Hardin, Gen. John Aaron Rawlins, Robert Roberts Hitt. Lyman Trumbull, Col. William Rails Morrison. W'illiam McKendree Springer, Xinian Edwards, Gen. John Alexander McClernand, Gen. John Charles Black, .Vdlai Ewing Steven- son, James Shaw, Charles Barton Morrison. Gen. Thomas Jefferson Henderson. Rev. Owen Lovejoy, Lyman Judson Gage, Col. William Henry Bissell, Col. Sidney Breese, Gen. John Irving Rinaker. Samuel S. Marshall, Gen. Joseph Duncan, Col. Greenbury Lafayette Fort, Nor- man Buel Judd, Isaac Newton Arnold, Col. Benjamin Franklin Marsh. Gen. I'hilip Sidney Post, Gen. Stephen Augustus Hurlbut, Charles Samuel Deneen, Marshall Field, Charles Benjamin F'arwell, Jehu Baker, John Dean Caton. \'ict(jr I'remont Lawsou, (ieorgc Edmund Foss, Charles Eugene Fuller, Pri>f. .\ewton Bateman. George Washington Prince, Orlando B. Ficklin, Prof. Alfred Bayliss, .Monzo Edes Wilson, Hale Johnson, John Granville Woolley, Rev. 01i\er Wavne Stewart, and Frank Orren Lowden, and numerous others? Illinois has a few men to-day wIkj would ser\e accei)tably as Presi- dent. Governor Charles Samuel Deneen, our conser\ati\e and distin- guished chief executive, would make an able President. So would Congressman Charles Eugene Fuller, who is perhaps the most eloquent orator in the United States at the present time. Congressman George Edmund Foss, another elocjuent orator and dashing young statesman, has also Presidential qualities. Then there is Speaker Joseph Gurney Cannon, that able statesman from the Wabash Valley, the watch-dog of the treasury, who, although tc) old to serve as President, appears young and spry and would do honor to the office. His charming daughter. Miss Helen Cannon, the best-posted lady in the United States on political afYairs, with all her gracefulness and beauty would make THE SAliE OF SI.NXISSIPPI. an excellent first lady of the land. We would be only too willing to make Richard Yates, President of the L'nited States. W'e love the eloquent and brilliant Yates, he is a fighter bold and game. Senator Shelljy Aloore Cullom is too old and feeble, and Senator Albert Jarvis Hopkins is entirely out of the question, for he has a great faculty of forgetting his friends, men who have done all in their power to gratify his personal ambitions and desires. W'e know of nothing remarkably great that he ever did. excepting the flaying he gave the fiery Senator Tillman, of South Carolina, in the United States Senate at one time. We are indeed thankful that "Willie" Lorimer was Inirn in England, and glorv in the fact that he can never be President nf the United States. We ha\e also another man in Illinois who wcjuld make an ideal President, and that man is Congressman Frank Orren Lowden, of Oregon. Eliminating all others from consideration, the race for the Presidential nomination should be between these great reformers : Frank Orren Lowden. of Illinois. Robert Marion LaFollette, of Wisconsin, James Franklin Hanly, of Indiana, William Howard Taft, of Ohio, Albert Baird Cummins, of Iowa, Charles Evans Hughes, of Xew York. Will the next President of the United States be <>ne of these six men? You will notice I have eliminated the names of CanniMi. Fair- banks, Foraker, Root, and others. I have also considered Ciovernor Charles Evans Hughes, of Xew York, as the sole representative of the East. He is the most available man of Presidential qualities in the entire East. Of all these men, I am of the opinion that Congressman b'rank Orren Lowden, of Illinois, is the strongest and the most available man to nominate for President in 1908, for these six reasons: First — The West is entitled to the Presidential n.imination. The East has now had the honor for i.hnost two full terms, and Xew York is the home of our present chief executive. Illinois is entitled to some recognition, as it is the strongest and most influential Republican State in the West. Illinois has not produced a President since is;-.', thirty- five vears agd. when President Ulysses Simpson Grant was re-electea. Xew' York has had three Presidents since then in Arthur, Cleveland and Roose\elt, the latter two serving two terms each. New York and the East have therefore had their share of the honors and present much nerve in asking for the honor again, Xew York argues, however, that with four or iive candidates from the West, a New York man would capture the nonnnation very handily. The West should therefore cen- tralize on their strongest candidate. Secondlv — -V comi)aratively young man is needed to leatl the valiant hosts. The duties and responsibilities attached to the oftice of President THE SAGE OF SIXMSSIIMM. i"' are arduous aud lalwrious. A comparatively ymiUL; man. between the ages of f(_)rtv and sixty years, can carry those tiresome burdens upon his shoulder's lighter than a man between the ages of sixty and the century mark. We want an energetic, dashing and strenuous man of middle age. Thirdly — We need a candidate who is ])opular in all sectii>ns of tlie country. We must haye a man who is known from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from Canada to Mexico and the Tiulf. who is well and favorably known in the Xortli. South, East and West, antl is a vote-getter. We want a man who is not allied with any faction or machine orgaidzation, and who has not become embroiled in any factional or party strifes. ].-,,„ i-thlv — We need a man who has the ability to fill that_ grave office. A man who will honor the office as did Washington, Jefferson. Madison, Monroe, John Ouincy Adams. Jackson, Polk, iMllmore, Lin- cohi. Grant, Benjamin Harrison. McKinley and Roosevelt. He must have Presidential qualities and be large enough mentally and morally to fill the Presidential chair. i:itthly— The office must seek the man. We want a man who is not an avowed and active candidate for the nomination. Such an exalted^ position should find its occupant. When a great man S(i conducts himself as to merit public confidence, the people of the Nation will soon discovei- that fact, bring him to the light of the public eye and be only too glad to honor him.' William Randolph Hearst has sought the office and is seeking it now. He has spent a part of his milHons to win that coveted prize, but such an exalted position can not be bought for all the world's trea.sures. The people do not want Hearst. He will never reach the goal of his ambition. So it w;is with Roscoe Conkhng, of Xew York. Sixthly and lastly — We waiU a man who is close to the common people, bur next President must lie a man who. like Lincoln, like McKinley, and like Roosevelt, of more recent years, is close to the common people. He must be one of the plain people, mingle with them and keep in close touch with them, and know their needs. We need more men like Abraham Lincoln in the Rei)ublican party of to-day and more men like Stephen .\rnold Douglas in the Democratic party, more great commoners. In conclusion upon the Presidential subject let me state, if xuu will kindlv bear with me. that Congressman Frank Orren Lowden. of Illi- nois, is the man who can meet all these conditions and fulfill such obligations. He is a typical Westerner, c(,>mparatively young, popular with all classes of people, a friend of the laboring man, and favorably- known in all sections of our country. He is a vote-getter and able by his strong personality to carry our doulnful states if there be any. He is a man who is looked upon as one who stands for those things, those grand principles that have so popularized the present administration. He stands for a modification of the tarift', or a tarift' revisionist, for -"'•^ THK SA(iE OF .SIKNISSIPI'I. the ciirl)in-- of all trusts ami im )n()p(ilies, fur the regulatic m of freight rate^. tor a two-cent railroad fare, for the anti-jiass law, for the popular election of Tnited .States Senators, and is a strong foe of Mormonisni. If you will hut carefully read his si)eeches you will notice that he is right u])on e\er\- cnnceuahle subject of national importance. ,\nd furthermore, he will do just what he says. He has abundant ability, a man of gifted talents, naturally bright, and qualitied in e\ery particular to fill that e.xalted position acceptably. He is fortunate in not having engaged in any factional squabbles, has incurred no ]iolitical debts, and would be i'roident in fact, controlled onl\- by his own will, and good sound judgment. He is in close touch with the cinnmon people and knows their needs, lie is ;i perfect type of the great Lincolnian class of commoners. h'urthermore, he is not now and ne\ei- will be an axuwed or an active as])irant for the place. However, if the Republican partv should in their wisdom choose him as their standard bearer in liMi>, he will not refuse the honor. Hut he does not wish to push himself to the front, and 1 mention him in this connection without his knowledge or approval. As early as IDo:'. I stated to a number of frieiids that Lowden would be an ideal standard bearer for the Republican partv as their candidate for President in liios. I am therefore forced to believe that I am the "original" Lowden man. .\t the Republican County conven- tion of Lee County, held at .\mboy, on .\ugust 9, 1900, Dr. George W. L Brown, of Dixon, chairman of that convention, made the following speech mentioning Lowden for I'resideiit in 191:,': Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen : This is indeed a great honor; although 1 h;i\e attended Republican County, Senatorial, Congressional and .State conventions as a delegate during the ]);ist thirty-fi\e years, I ha\e never liefore had the honor of presiding over a county comention of fellow Republicans, and I thank you for naming me for this honorable distinction. Last .Satunhiy the first general prim:iry election m Illinois was held in e\ery \oiing precinct in this .State. 1 ]jresume you h;ive ;ill heard about it. In this counlv the choice of a majorit}' (jf the Republican electors for the \arious offices to be filled has fallen t(j the lot of good and worth\- men. and it is our dut\- at this time, as loyal Re])ul)licaiis, to formally confirm the will of the majorilv by placing these men in nomiii;ilion, and see to it that the\ are elected next No\-ember. I am ha])py to inform \ou tlKit ;i large iiKijority of the Republican electors of this county, ;iuil of this great Re])ulihcan State, Noted to return to the L'nited States Senate that grand, able and lox'al statesman, Shelby .M.
