On aaxt Wedneeday, Sept. Ittb thi Bepttbllcan voters ot Illinois and Clar eoaaty will make a momentous deaialoa as to the character of their stata goverament for the next four I yean.
i^iur years ago Gov. Lawden and tho Ilapttblican party found lUlaqla kakkilipt, and had to pass emergency legislation to meet pressing dntms dua. Naw the sute treasury bas mtl- iiaas aad all orders are discounted. Tha state tax rate bas been reduced uatll la*t year Clay couaty paid f 4,0d6 Mas in state Uxea than pra- riaaaijr. The budget system is la op- oration, which has saved the stata aitlUoas. White the cost ot living aad at gtrrarament has doubled, lUtaols kas aald ker bitts with decreased tax' atioa ahd bas a surplus.
In Chicago, whera Thompson, who is trylag to get control at Springfield, through his man Len Small, tbe city ia baakrupt, millions have been squaadarad and the city can't borrow a dollar. The loss of the s^oon rev- eake was made up by the state tax¬ ing board allowing . Chicago seven mttllons increase In general taxes, tu make Up tor the toes In saloon rav-i enue—and Thompson's machine >. spent that money.
Republicans, it is for you to choose: If you want disloyal, extra¬ vagant Thompson to rule Illinois for four years, then vote for Small. If yod wiah a patrtotto, economical ad- ipinistration for four years, vote the stat« administration ticket, heade.l ...KG. Oglesby.. Tha iaaua ls-«e Plata that none should misunder¬ stand.

We liave not said very much Con- oeraing the United States s^natonhlp raoa because our main purpose Waa to prarent tbe Thomps^n-Lundtn'>Cht- eago freebooten trom getting a strangle hold on the millions In the Illtaois state treasury.
Thera are tbree candidates for Senator: Wm. B. McKlnley, on ^he State administration slate; Frai* L. Smith, on the Thompeon-bundin slate; B. M. Chiperfleld, running in- dependent of any slate.
I>ersonaIly atl tbrae are good men^ and it is regretted by many warm per¬ sonal (riends of Mr. Smith that he I* freighted wtth tba odioas Thompson- Lundln crowd, whteh is very detri' mental to his candidacy down state Mr. McKlnley, as the directing genius of the Illinois Traction system, has built up a fine street railway system and has accumulated considerable wealth, but even his enemies have never charged that be obtained a dol¬ lar of his wealth wrongfully. Mr Chip^fleld Ib backed by many World War service men and natur¬ ally they should be expected to sup¬ port one ot their, number. Vat the real race is between McKlnley and Smith, and every Republican vote- that is really for McKintey but cast ftr Chiperfleld is indirectly a vote for Smith, so Republicans, except service men, shonid vote for McKln¬ ley, and thus make sura of Smith's defeat on account of his backera. Service - men shonid also reiMinner that McKlnley voted with them lo Congress for their bonus bill and has never voted against their interasts.

FARM RESIDENCE
BURNS TO OROI'ND
The tarm rasldenc,e of Btvas Ool¬ den north ot Ftora was burned to tbe ground Moaday morning. The tiie was discovered in the root about 10:30 and was probably caused by a defective flue. Tbe nelghbora knd tfasasnby tried to fight tbe flames aad asve the bnlldtng but to no avail. Ttae root of^the buitldng fell in and most of tbe clothing of the tamily and the household furniture were soon consumed.
Mr. Oolden carried an insurance of $600. The bouse, a five-room cot¬ tage, to be built at the present time, would cost in th^ neighborhood of 13.000.
Tha unfortunate family have the sympathy of the entira community.

THE SOLDIER CANDIOATE
The Primary Election comes during the tarm of the Circuit Court, and I find it.impostsble for me to make a conu>leU canvass of the county in fhe'lnteresl' of my (lanStdacy fo'r the nomination of States' Atotrney, hence by this means invite your con¬ sideration of my claim for your Hup- port:—If I am nominated and elect¬ ed I promise tsithtui attantion to the duties of tbe office and that I will prosecute all vIoUtions of the Crim¬ inal Laws, brought to ray attention, without fear or favor.
I have practiced law in this coun¬ ty tor seventeen years, was bora and raarad in this county, served two tarms as County Judge, and while I make no'claim to any au perlor quali¬ fication as a lawyer not virtues as a citizen, otber tlian those possessed by the ordinary mortal, I leave It for othen to say what that record has been.
I retired from the race for States' Attorney,both six and four yean ago, for tbe sake of harmony, and now feel that my claim to the nomiiutioa is entitled to your candid considera¬ tion.
In conclusion. I wish to say, tbat if I am nominated and elected I shall endeavor to so conduct myself and tbe ofitoe, tbat those who have sup¬ ported me, sliall have no Just cause tq regret tbeir action.

That it is the effort ot tbe trka- tees of tba sekool to make it oaq of the ranklag iastitutlons Is evideaeisd by the taeuUy engaged for the term of IfSd-lttl, which contains teach¬ en from many parts of this state, Missouri aad Indians.

(PollUeal Adv,erttsament i The Ckicago Tribune is baaoaaing the taet that hara an "ao saldien • oa Thompeon's. ticket.". In a long editorial It refers to Chicago's mayor and his war record In tdrms not eX' aetly eompllneotary, aad the burden ot th* complaint is that the Thomp¬ son ttcket Is a "gang ot siay-at- komes' 'and urges tkat tke oppoei' tion present some distinguished Illi¬ nois soldiera tor state otttoes.
All of which ts well eaaagh as (ar as It goes, bnt It does hot go (ar enough. The Tribune surety know^i tbat Illinois already has a dlstln guished soldier In tbe field for office at the bands of tbe electorate of this state tn the penon of Cot. B. M, Chip- erfietd of Canton, who is a candidate for United States senator.

He is the soldier can him to -the -fnror at tba ItapotilleaBs of tbe stata ^n the coming primary elections. If tbe Tribnae ts seeking a worthy soldier candidate It need go no farther. He ts found, and as to distinction, thera need be nk ques¬ tion.
In tbe practice of taw. tn tbe state assembly, as congressman at targe and tn the service of his country with the Thirty-third division In atl Its splendid achievementa in France. Colonel Chiperfleld bos won the right to ask any gift In the power of his state to give.
