United State Senator?
Up in Washington an effort is being made to defeat a U. S. Senator for re-election, one of tB
major charges against him being that he-is non-progressive and never improved his hometovl
by "nailing two boards together or laying one brick on another."
NOW is the time for you to remove one obstacle to your successful candidacy by building
home for yourself or some homeless would-be renter.

Peoria, III., Sept. 9. The dem
ocracy of Illinois took Peoria by
atorm today. Tho state, convention,
to be followed by speeches from
William J. Bryan, John W. Kern audi
Adlal Stevenson, attracted olio of tho
largest crowds that ever attended a
political demonstration In Peoria.
An tho state convention proceed
ings were purely of a perfunctory
character, the Interest In the gather
ing centred In the apcoch-mnkliiK.
tt Mrynii arrived from Chicago un
der escort of a Inrku delegation re
presenting the Cook county democ
racy. Mr. llryan and Mr. Kern are
to apeak on issues of the national
campaign. The address of Mr. Ste
venson will mark the formal Inaugu
ration of his campaign for tho gov
ernorship. I Mr. llryan stild In part:
'There Is no twilight lone between
the nation and the state In which
the exploiting Interests can lake re
fuge from both. There Is no neutral
ground where, beyond tho jurisdic
tion of either sovereignty, tho plun
derers of the public can find a safe
I retreat. As long aa a corporation
confine Its activities to the state In
which It w its created. It la aiibject to
state regulation only; but aa aoon aa
It Invadea intoraliite commerce It bo
comea amenable to federal lawa m
well as the laws of the atate which
created It and the lawa of the sta'os
In which It does business.
How atrlct can these lnws be?
.lust aa atrlct ns may bo necessary
for the protection of the public.
Our platform outlines the reguliv
tlon doomed nocesaniy. and the reg
ulation Is specifically aot forth in
order that our opponent may not
to abl to aoare the public by pre
dicting hurtful leglalatlon. Out
platform, unlike the republican plat
form, says what It moans and means
what It says.
"A distinction Is drawn between
the railroads and other itirporationt.
The railroad, being a quasl-pub!'.-corporation
and. as auch. being per
muted to exorcise a part of the aov
eroUnlty of the state, Is subject to

The democratic party would dla

ers, directors and managers who,
recognlziDK their obligation to the
public, earn their salaries by con
scientious devotion to thtr work en
trusted to them, and those unscrupu

use railroads as mere pawns In a
great gambling game without regar.i
to thu rights of employes or to the
interests of tho ptrons. It Is In the
Interest of honest railroading and

ocratic party seeks to ascertain the
