RAGE IN ILLINOIS IS HODGEPODGE OF CANDIDATES Situation There Is Strange Political Cocktail, Stokes Finds. BY THOMAS L. STOKES Timm Special Correspondent CHICAGO, Feb. 6.—Take a metropolis with its hurrying millions and its machine rule; take a lot of aging politicians who don't know when they’re through; take a smat-
tering of ambitious youngsters yearning for a place in the political sun; take a half-state full of farmerr who don’t ’ike city domination. Mix well, throw in a Jigger of Lake Michigan, a dash of gangster bitters, a sprig or two of alfalfa and stir well with a
$
slightly tarnished spoon of Abraham Lincoln idealism—and what do you have? A strange political cocktail known as Illinois, the same old Illinois today as ever. Knox Upholds Tradition Usually there is a presidential candidate. This year it is Col. Frank Knox, who runs a big newspaper here. An energetic crusader against the New Deal, he already has stumped nearly the whole country and still is going. Whereever he goes he leaves the memory of a vibrant personality, and an organization to carry on. What names do you remember in Illinois politics of the last decade or so? Len Small, twice Governor, who was forced by a civil suit to pay $650,000 for allegedly withholding interest on state funds; Big Bill Thompson of the cowboy hat and the checkerboard vest, the mayor who kept King George out of Chicago; Fied Lundin, who was Big Bill’s Warwick; former Senators Otis F. Glenn and Charles Deneen —all these, no doubt, you recall. They are all stirring about again. Small Out for Governorship Len Small, still a warrior at 74, has announced for Governor; Fred Lundin has a petition signed by some 250,000 people who say they will vote against President Roosevelt and Democrats generally, and he is looking for business; the two former Senators are thinking about running against the pink-whiskered Senator Jim Ham Lewis, and no one knows what Big Bill is up to, if anything. They are all Republicans, each with his little faction and following. The fact that they are all busy, that each is trying to outwit or trade with the other, is the best index of the disorganized state of the Republican Party today in Illinois and is one reason for the claims of Democrats that they will put Mr. Roosevelt and their state ticket over in November. Republicans dispute this with claims that the President is losing ground daily and it is true that industrial and business bitterness against the New Deal is well represented in this Midwest industrial belt. There’s Another View You can take that view', or you can take the “faith” of Tom Gerry, a Democratic precinct captain and father of six children, who holds forth at Cook County Democratic headquartars here. “Th„ rank and file of the people of this state are still for President Roosevelt, I don’t care w r hat they tell you,” he said. “I put it all on a human basis, what the President's clone for the common people. I say the President will carry Illinois by 10 or 12 per cent more than in 1932, THE ITCH Prevalent in Indianapolis Go to Hook’s or Haag’s or any good drug store and get a bottle of Gates Sanative Lotion.

when his majority was half a million. “I circulate around among the people—l know what I’m talking about. “When they get the wrinkles out of their bellies and get money in their pockets don’t think they’re going to vote Republican. I think 95 per cent of the people are grateful when you’ve done something for them. Os course, there's always 5 per cant who won't be. G. O. P. Split, He Says “rhe Republicans are all split up. Their leaders are 100 per cent for themselves—and that’s no good for the boys who have to go out and ring door-bells. “We’ve got the best ticket in the ! world—Roosevelt, Jim Ham Lewis for Senator and Bundcsen for Gov--1 ernor.” The Cook County organization, which runs Democratic politics in this state, recently disavowed Gov. Henry Horner and indorsed Dr. Herman N. Bundesen. for years head of the State Health Department. Mr. Horner, who went down the line for the New Deal, has made a good Governor, it is conceded, but he became unpopular because of his 3-cent sales tax and because he was curt with some of the bosses. Dr. Bundesen is a sort of Dr. Copeland of Illinois, though Tom Gerry says the New York Senator copies the Illinois doctor-politician. Every mother in Illinois, upon the birth of a child, gets a nice note from Dr. Bundesen. Every month she gets a book telling how the child should progress in the next month, and how he should be cared for, and at the end of the first year she gets a congratulatory letter. That's Hard to Beat That’s hard to beat in Illinois, as it is in New York. Ask Jim Farley. Gov. Horner is planning to enter the April primary, but the bets are on the doctor. Mayor Ed J. Kelly of Chicago, who’s the boss of the Cook County outfit, gives orders and makes them like it. He picked Dr. Bundesen. called him up and told him so, and

then took him to a meeting of leaders. “Gentlemen—this is your candidate for Governor," he said. Some down-staters grumbled, but they took it. Republicans are split at least eight ways over a candidate for Governor. No one has anything like a majority of the leaders behind him. Right now most support is for C. Wayland Brooks, former assistant state's counsel of Cook County, a 39-year-old war veteran with decorations and wounds in action, who was defeated once for state’s counsel and once for congressman-at-large. Len Goes After Fanners If the organization does not get behind one man, Len Small may squeeze through—and Republicans tell you that this would assure Democratic victory. Len, who won the farmers by building lots of roads past their homes, is running on a platform of “more and better roads." They say the bee was put in his bonnet when lots of ambitious Republicans went down to his big farm at Kankakee seeking his support. Well, he said to himself, if I’m so important, why not run myself? So he will. LAWYER NAMED STATE GREENBACK CHAIRMAN Forrest Hackley Is Appointed by John Zahnd, National Head. Forrest L. Hackley. attorney, 8504 E.
