TUESDAY, JANUARY 29, 1952 ALTON EVENING TELEGRAPH PAGE THRU On Republican Ticket Charles Hagen of Brussels, In Race for State Senator Charles M. Hngen of Brussels, has qualified for a spot on the Republican primary ticket April 8 for the nomination for state senator from the 36th district, comprising the counties of Adams, Pike, Scott, and Cnlhoun. He will be opposed In the primary by Paul Kindlry of Plltsfield, and Attorney Lillian Schlagenhauf of Quincy. Hagen was horn and reared on a fnrm near Brussels in Calhoun county. He attended local schools, and at the outbreak of World War 1, enlisted in the marine corps.

His battlefield experience resulted In the loss of an arm, but at his present, age of he is still a vigorous and energetic worker. After the war he continued his education in Chicago, attending the Washburn Continuation School, the YMCA dny and evening preparatory classes, and finishing with the law school of Northwestern University, from which he graduated and was admitted to the Illinois bar in 192fi. He was the first Republican ever elected stale's attorney in Calhoun county, winning in the Democratic landslide of 1032 and being reelected in 1940. Running for the nomination for Congress in the primary of 1940, he lost by only 32 votes in the 20th district. He Is past commander of the American Legion and a past national vice-commander of the disabled American veterans.

Calhoun is a small county and it has only' about 3500 voters. When It comes to representation In the state legislature the county has long been ignored and local people have dubbed Calhoun as "the tail of the kite," for the 36th district. The county has had one state senator in Its 127 years of existence. He was Republican Thomas D. Bare, Hardin newspaperman, who served for the term of 19041908.

From 1864 to 1902 the county was represented in the lower house In every assembly except those of the 39th and 41st sessions. But during the past 50 years there has never been a Calhoun man in the house of representatives and few candidates have aspired to the office.

At Us meeting Monday afternoon, the bonrd nnmed Supervisor Walter, Town Clerk Price, and Town Attorney Armbruster, ns committee to prepare tentative nidgot for submission to the olec- lors at the annual town mooting on Tuesday, April 1. The committee will have advice of the town nudl- lor. Armhruster ndvlsed an early start on the budget for the coming year because the proposed financial set-up must be on file and open to public Inspection for 30 days prior to a public hearing before It goes to the town meeting. The public hearing, ns hns been custom, will he held Immediately prior to the annual town meeting, April 1. This means that the proposed budget must be completed for preliminary approval by the town hoard hy Its second meeting In February, that being Its last session prior to the 30-day Inspection period set by statute.

Supervisor Walter, following the board meeting, snld Ihnt tha relief budget likely will require special preliminary study. Public assistance disbursements last year were at a 3-yenr low. This year, relief demands have declined still further, and not since last May has the township received any share of state funds through allocations of Illinois Public Aid Commission. Alton township for years has been meeting statute requirement that it levy a one mill tax for relief so as to be eligible to share in state public assistance funds.
