OREGON CITY COURIER FRIDAY, MARCH 5, 1909 "After taking three bottles of your wonderful medicine, our baby was entirely well and needed no more medicine. At six teen months of age she weighed thirty pounds. She had cried eight months, night and day, and nothing did her good until we tried Scotfs Emulsion." MRS. E. C. SMITH, Villa Rica, Ga. Scott's Emulsion probably saved this child's life. Four doctors had been tried. Scott's Emulsion seemed to be just the thing needed, and it is just the thing needed by thousands of other children. It's so easily digested, so pure and harmless, yet most powerful in building up the most deli cate child or adult. But be sure to get Scott's Emulsion, there are so many -worthless and harmful imitations. ALI, DRUGGISTS A foil copy of Mm.

We solicit share of your patomage Charles S. Deneen Resolute Governor of Illinois, Who Has Aroused an Entire State Chief Figure In Two Sensational Conventions. Conservative Reformer, a No Man's v Man and a Fighter. By JAMtS y. cDGZRTON. THE career of Charles S. Deneen, governor of Illinois, bus been one of storm and battle. When be was trying to lie a lawyer be tramped the streets of Chicago for weeks seeking to dud u Job ns clerk, copyist, office boy, anything, so Unit he might finish bin legal education and get a foothold. Ills eight years iih Kate's attorney for Cook county, In which he prosecuted grafters mid big criminals, even antedated the parallel, career of ex-Governor Joseph W. Folk as district attorney of St. LouK De ueen's first nomination for the govern orship came on the seventy-ninth bal lot after the longest and most bitterly contested state convention contest In American history. His second nomi nation wag won In a fiercely fought state primary with a bare majority of 7,000. In the election that followed large numbers of Republicans, includ ing organization leaders, openly fought him, and he won out by only 23,1(34, although Taft carried the state by 17U.122. Even then his troubles were not ended. He was threatened with a contest, and the antl-Deneen Repub licans of the house Joined with the Democrats and organized that body. Despite all this fierce opposition, he has generally managed to win bis ! II l-V-wmmm- . --Mm.', Ik,1 ' ' I I 11 ' f I i TWO V1BW8 OF QOVBBNOU DENEEN OF ILLINOIS-MKS. CHARLES S. DENEEN. points. He now has four more years ns governor and Is still fighting. The Quality of Deneen Is shown by a chance remark dropped while he was prosecuting crooks, boodlersj bank wreckers and bulloj box Btuffers In Chicago. It Is good 'enough to frame: "My friends will not ask me to do what Is not right. If they do they are not my friends." The convention that first nominated Deneen for governor will be remem bered In Illinois as one of the big po litical eveuts In a state of big politics. It met on May 12 and finally adjourn ed on June 8, there being a recess In tho meantime from May 20 to May 81 to allow the delegates to go homo and change their collars and, If possible, change their uilnds. The festival was presided over by Uncle Joe Cuuuon, who broke all the gavels that could be procured and wound up by trying to hammer something out with a croquet mallet There were seven candidates, the three leaders being Deucen, Rich ard Yates, Jr., the then governor, aud Colonel Frank 0. Lowden, who was supported by the "federal brigade." There were 1,502 delegates, 752 being necessary to a choice. Seventy-nine ballots were taken In all. The highest ever got by Yates was E07; by Low den, 031. Yates was generally In the lead, with Deneen second and Lowden third. The others were "among those present." Tho balloting started on May 18, and it was Friday at that. For the original unlucky day It had Tom Lawson's "Friday, the 13th," looking like tho favored of fortune. The dread of the 13-FrIday combus tion may be ouly a superstition, but It would Iio hard to convince an Illinois Republican politician of that fact. With him It Is not a high browed the ory, but n ghastly condition. He knows. Did he not go through the 1004 convention? Ten Hours of Balloting. On that fultil Friday, May 13, tho delegates balloted for ten solid hours. Nothing doing, The ban,d played "We Won't Go Homo Till Morning," and It was nearly that time when they did CO home. On Saturday nine ballots were taken without result. The band EAST MEADOWBROOK.;; (Too lato for lust issue. ) Tho right-hand wing of this little burg does not seoiu to be recognized ny oar correspondent, ana wo cannot stuud for that. So beg leave to in form the world through the medium of our worthy pupor that we are not dead in tho shell, and, as springtime is approaching, we now begin to poop. Georgo Wiliams is doing qnite a rushing "business logging. Ed May is helping him. P. Winslow took a trip to town last Tuesday to see if it tastea like it used to fresh beefsteak. Mrs. W. Baker, who has been sick turned q,n "Almost I"trsuadcd," but the delegates did not see It t-bat way. There was adjournment over Sun day, but nobody was converted or ex perienced a change of heart. On Mon day five ineffectual ballots were had, and the band pounded out "Hold the Fort." Tuesday saw nine ballots, and the band discoursed "In the Sweet By and By." Wednesday saw an at tempt on the part of the "federal brigade" to get up a stampede for Lowden, but the delegates suddenly became stand patters and jefused to break loose for any bunch of office holders. The band played "Onward, Christian Soldiers." Thursday there were ten ballots, and the slide trom bone man let loose- with 'Tlease Go Way and Let Me Sleep." This struck a responsive chord In the bosoms of the delegates, and " they adjourned. The next day, May 20, saw only ,one ballot. Two Fridays were too much for the convention. The band was all In and had not enough wind or strength left to play anything. Ad journment was taken for eleven days. Nominated by Nearly 1,000 Votes, When the convention reassembled on Tuesday, May 31, there was no change, and the same cheerful suite of Inertia greeted the first day of the new month. On Juno 2 the candidates all released their delegates, but tho delegates re fused to be released. The morning of June 3, however, It was apparent that something had happened overnight. Governor Yates took the platform, withdrew his name and asked his friends to vote for Deneen. Three minor candidates followed suit. Thero was nothing more to It. The Chicago man won by nearly 1,000 votes. In office Governor Deneen has made enough enemies to down twenty ordi narily men, but tho fates or was It his own grlt?-pullcd him through. He had been In Sprlngftfld scarcely a year before the fight on him started. The first form It took was a legislative in vestigation of stute Institutions. His enemies averred that he had entered Into a deal with former Governor Yates to keep In the old appointees, aud this has never been denied. At any rate, the appointees were kept, and right there the trouble started. The report on the state Institutions was scathingly adverse, and as a re sult tho governor undertook their re organization. There was an overhaul ing and housecleunlng, since which time there has been little complaint. His Greatest Fight. The greatest tight made by Governor Deneen was for a state primary law. This ho forced through, only to have It declared unconstitutional by the su preme court. Ho Immediately called the legislature lu extra session and had a new primary law enacted, nnd under this his second nomination took place. That contest was even more sensational than the two weeks" con vention of four yours previous. The opposition caiullilato for the nomina tion was the sanio Richard Yates whose withdrawal had nominated 1V ncen In 1004. It was charged that a part of the deal at that time was that Deneen should support Yates for Vnlt ed States senator In place of Shelby M. Cullom. If there was any such un derstanding circumstances wore so changed that the governor found It Impossible to carry out the agreement and remained neutral In the contest. As a result, Yates charged him with being an iceberg and generally made for the past two months, is much bet ter, though still in quite lwr health. 11. P.

But, we suppose like, all old hens, she is ruled by the fashion. Willard and Roy Garrett were seen on Main street on the 2:!il. P. E. Bonney and family visited friends at Liberal last Sunday. Two little f ogs are pinging in the ditch for suow or spriug, I wonder which. things so warm that an ordinary Ice berg would not only have melted, but bollf1 In consequence. The fight raged In every county In the state, Deneen speaking one or more times lu each and Yates following. Even the Demo crats were dragged Into the melee, and In Chicago It was said both ma chines worked together for the gov ernor's downfall. Deneen won and proved that even If he were un Ice berg be could grind up the most for midable obstacles that got In his path. One of tho most Important measures that the governor has carried through Is a $20,000,000 ship canal from Lake Michigan to the Mississippi river. This enterprise Is of moment not only to Chicago and Illinois, but to the com merce of the-entlre country. The peo ple have approved the project, nnd It now only remains to carry out the de tails. There Is an Immense patronage connected with the affair, and the pros pect that the governor might have the giving out of the plums has caused additional teeth, gnashing among the politicians. There has already been so much of this gnashing going on dur ing the last four years that with an other term of Dqneeu there Is danger that most of the political teeth In Illi nois will be worn out. It requires a big riian to set an en tire state by the ears, and that Is what Charles Samuel Deneen has done for the third state In the Union. It Is no longer a question of Republicans and Democrats In Illinois, but of De neen and antl-Deneen. The senatorial deadlock Is a direct result of the feud. It Is confidently stated .that Deneen himself might have been senator, but that he would not permit the use of his name. That In Itself Is no small tribute to the strength of the man In view of the fact that the state' ma chine of his party and the federal In fluence are both against him. A Soldier In Early Life. It Is alway4 well to have a direct view of a man, and since I have never met Governor Deneen myself I took the privilege of Interviewing Judge Jesse Iloldom of Chicago concerning him. Judge Holdom, who has just been elected president of the Union League club of Chicago, has known the governor Intimately for years. It Is to him that I am Indebted for many of the details of Deneen's early life and for a first hand Impression. Gov ernor Deneen was bom In southern II-HnoIs-"Egypt" In 1S03. His great grandfather was speaker of the Illi nois house In territorial days, and his father was a professor In McKcndree college. The elder Deneen was also adjutant of an Illinois regiment lu the civil war, and the future governor spent some of his first years at the front. Charles S. Deneen graduated from McICendree college In 1882 and from the law department of the same Insti tution In 1885. He then taught school and went to Chicago, where he had more than his share of hard luck In getting a start. He was finally com pelled to teach night school and to hang about the criminal courts for the purpose of being assigned to the de fense of poor prisoners who could not hire a lawyer of their own. There was little money In "this sort of practice, but valuable experience. To be near an old friend, a Methodist minister at Englewood, young Deneen moved to that suburb, and his prospects bright ened. He took to politics ns the pro verbial duck does to water, got In with the Lorlmer machine, was made a member of the city committee, went to tho legislature for one term and de clined a reuomlnatlon, thrived In his practice aud in 1895 was made attor ney of the drainage board. It was In 1890 that Mr. Deneen was first elected to the state's attorneyship. Ills prede cessor In office was a Democrat who had been changed with shielding big criminals. Tho city was naturally Democratic, nnd prospects for the young candidate were not bright. Nevertheless he resigned his drainage board attorneyship against the advice of his associates and went In to win. He did win, too, by a good majority, and his administration of the office was admittedly the most efficient In the city's history. Among the murder charges that he prosecuted was the famous Luetgart case. He also sent to prison a number of crooked election Judges and several defaulting bank ers.' So strongly did be arouse popular favor In his behalf that In 1900 he ran 10,000 ahead of McKinley in Chicago. Does Not Bow Down to Bosses. Before entering the race for govern or Deneen broke with the Lorlmer machine. A fierce fight followed, but he won a majority of the delegates from Cook county. His nomination and election to the governorship mark ed the first time that the Republican party of Illinois had chosen a Chicago man for that Important office. It Is true that there were two Chicago governors before him, but one had succeeded from the lieutenant govern orship when' Governor Oglesby had re signed to go to the senate, and the other, Altgeld, had been elected by the Democrats. Governor Deneen married Miss Ulna Day Maloney, the daughter of a Carroll county farmer. They have four children, one of whom was born lu the executive mansion. Despite the bitter enmity to Gov ernor Deneen on the part of so many lu his own party nnd state. It Is gen erally admitted that ho Is honest. It Is this that gives him his strength. The American people will forgive al most any sin In a public man so long ns It feels that ho Is sincere. That Deneen uses political methods Is not denied by his best friends. But he Is no man's man. will not bow down to bosses, Is a reformer In conservative way, and, above all else, be fights. That Is shown by his square Jaw, his flash ing eye and every line f his mobile but determined face. The Lurid Glow at Doom was seen in the red face, bauds and body of the littla srm nf H. M.
