As many of those who are disgusted with the situation look at it there is only one man in the State who might succeed as an independent in this election, and that, is former Gov. Lowden. which will have nothing to do with the independent candidacy. He is a Republican and would never run as an independent. Furthermore, if he is to be a candidate for the pre: dential nomination in 1928, Gov. Low- den wisely will keep out of the.Tili- nois muss this vear. Wihtout disguising their dislike of what happened in the senatorial pri- | maries, some of the farmers, who are also drys, are getting a little sat- isfaction out of the- fact that the money used in the campaign came ou of the pockets of the public utilities instead of out of their own. If, as they are told by political leaders, it is essen- tial to spend large sums of money to get a candidate’s arguments and prin- ciples before the voters, why the wealthy utilities bear a_consider- able part of the burden. This argu ment is not general. but it merely tends to show that voters in Illinois are not taking the campaign fund disclosures as seriously as they are being taken elsewhere. This atti tude is reminiscent of the story of a i State legislator who, in the da when railroads were permitted to give passes, spent most of his time de- nouncnig_the carriers. | "While he was delivering a flery de- | nunciation of the roads and their al- leged intquities, he was interrupted by a heckler. “Don't you and all the members of your family have annual passes from these railroads?” was the question.
