Brennan’s Campaign For Senate Holding Interest In Illinois By Max Buckingham (United Press Staff Correspondent) Chicago, April 24. — (I tilted Press)— The political Ingenuity which hut been used to make numerous Illinois office holders today Is turned •'> “ personal, earppalyu as George K. Brennan, 1 mg the king of Illinois democracy. is seek ing a seal In the upper house of congress. Gemge Brennan i synonymous with things democratic in llinols, but his mime heretofore has been linked only with the "power behind the throne." When he recently announced himself as a candidate for the democratic nomination for the senate, it caused a lifting of the eyebrows and a few knowing nods. Around Chicago George Brennan is as popular a.4 Al Smith in New York City. Along the Gold Coast, through the loop, and in the tenement districts ’ Brennan is well known. His joviality . iia.s made him a character to tho.-e who don't undei stand polities and to those who do know politics. Brennan ) is known for his worthiness as a boss. , He is a character who stands out In | Illinois democratic circles as no other man has since the days of Roger Sul-1 iivan. Brennan has welded together al , powerful organization in Cook county. Chicago, and has a considerable followI ing in urban Illinois. I Through his work in Chicago he has • grown to a commanding figure in national political circles and reached the peak of his “man making" career in 1924 when he managed the campaign of Al Smith in New York for the democratic nomination as president. In that case he stepped into the place vacated by the death of Charley Murphy. Tammany sachem. Brennan doesn't lack the color which surrvunds most political bosses. He is «hort, heavy and walks with a de--1 i-ided limp. Great bushy eyebrows ovetlook his rather sparkling gray L eyes. He is given to long expensive cigars, which many times hang unlighted from rather tight drawn lips. Hut joviality in greeting the public, and an iron hand in dealing with his lieutenants, have proved the chief weapons of Brennan’s offensive. His entrance into an already interesting race in Illinois has marked a keystone issue in national polities. Brennan has sheved aside such issues as World Court. Waterways, Air plans and is out on a strictly "wet" plank. The extent of the dampness* is up to the people. Os com -e in Illinois he has his own localized issue cf home rule, but i is, j hidden behind the importance of the i vigorous wet fight which Brennan , plans. The Illinois political boss has always j been known as an ardent foe of prohibition. He has backed all anti-prohibi-1 tion political drives, therefore his com-: ing out on a wet plank was no surprise ! But when he made it his only issue, | Illinois voters were rather surprised, i National wets were elated. The “boss" plans a vigorous campaign. His private car will be parked i at sidings ail over the state. And besides Brennan doing the campaigning there probably will be Al Smith,l a personal friend, and Mayor Jimmy' Walker nf New York to aid Brennan. Other democratic wet leaders may: come to Illinois also. Voters of Illinois are inclined to look with glee on the forthcoming campaign. They know Brennan’s astuteness, his vigorous words on behalf of beer and wine, and his ability to use embittered phrases against political opponents. o Beveridge Speak? To Lawvers At Texarkana Texarkana. Ark.. April 24. —(United Press) —Attempts to influence judicial decisions by external pressure were severely condemned in an address here today by Albert J. Beveridge. former United States senator from Indiana. Beveridge spoke at the tri-state convention of the state bar associations of Texas. Louisiana and Arkansas. “Those who try to intimidate judges are enemies of the Republic—and judges who yield are worse," Beveridge said. “Some persons, intoxicated by the egotism of good intentions are acutely impatient of the American conception of liberty and strive to make' everybody else do as these economic ; and social martinets want them to do.' “To the extent that such absolutists force their will on others, we have autocracy instead of democracy. “So come group ukases in the guise of laws that ignore the fundamental ordinance of ill the people; and other group edicts, masked as legislation.

nhlch defy American institutions, com mon sense and natural law itself. “Courts must strike down legislative ' acts which violate the constitution—their power and duty to do so is America's last bulwark and freedom. “It often require ; courage for jadges to upho’d the jH-riuanetit law of the . people and to reject the temporary act of momentary legislative body. "It took a stout heart as well as u 1 clear mind to give out those hlstorlc oplnlonr of John Marshall which now j are the tables of American constitutional law.” Beveridge criticized lawmakers who knowingly enact staute.s which conflict wit htiie basil law of the state or nation in order to evade the responsibility and shift it to the courts. oMiss Majic Reefey, of Fort Wayne, is spending the week-end with her parents in this city.
