Tho message said in part : "The outcome in Illinois is not a victory for me, but primarily, a vic tory for the cause of soccinl and in dustrial justice. Moreover it is a stinging rebuke to the alliance of crooked business, bosses and special privilege- to thwart the will of the people by scandalous abuse of federal patronage, and the use of other me thods, including violence, to work shameless frauds. "The people of Illinois had a chance to speak for themselves. The result in Indiana, Michigan and Ken tucky would have been practically the same if the same chance of expres sion had been given the people. 1 believe evcrj single delegate against us in these three states will misrepre sent tho eoplo behind him.
