Democratic Candidates Get Off Cheap

According to the sworn (statements filed with the county clerk under the new “corrupt practice act,”, the total expenditures of all the candidates before the recent democratic county convention was but $7.31, as against $101.51 spent by the republican candidates for the county offices. Of this amount 8. D. Clark, candidate for recorder, spent $5 for publishing his announcement, $1.50 each with The Democrat and Remington Press, and $2 with the Kankakee Valley Review. Mr. Clark’s unsuccessful opponent, Jk>hn Bowie, spent $1.31, $1 with the Remton Press for his announcement; 25c with the Halleck Telephone Co., and 6c for postage. He got 8 of the 123 votes in the convention, and therefore they cost him about 16% cents each.

W.« I. Hoover for sheriff; E. P. Lane for treasurer; DeVere Yeoman for surveyor, and Chas. F. Stackhouse and A. H. Dickinson for county commissioners, spent nothing whatever. Our roofing paints in red, green and black are stricffly pure asphalt paints. And not tar dope with which the market is flooded at a low price. The real stuff costs only slightly more and you get a paint that will preserve your roof instead of eating it up. See me or A. E. Kirk about that rusty roof. HIRAM DAY.
