Cronin CANDIDATE FOR Representative HAVE THIS TO SAY: First of all his record as a Democrat is unquestionable. For 20 years he has contributed his time, energy, and financal aid to the Party. He has never failed a member of the Party when a letter, telephone call or a trip to Springfield was needed.

His standing in the community and reputation will bear inspection. He is not now, or has he ever, tried to buy a seat in the House of Representatives. The record shows he received 11,005 votes in Fulton County and 17,657 in Knox County, for a total of 28,662. His candidacy is not the result of a political conspiracy.

Shuman, president of the Illinois Agricultural Association, today urged farmers to vote in the April 13 primary election. "The best way insure good government is to discharge our duties at the polls," Shuman said. "Mediocrity in government is a direct result of the indifference of voters. We just make sure the candidates running in the fall general election arc the candidates we have chosen by making our wishes known in the primary. It is not enough to vote for one party or the other next fall if better candidates were left behind at the primary polls," Shuman said.

"Listen to the candidates, find out as much as you can about what they stand for, and then select the ones most nearly agreeing witli your beliefs. And then," tho I.A.A. president emphasized, "vote in the April 13 primary knowing that you have voted wisely."

An Editorial from the Chicago Daily News Tuesday, March 30,1954 (Reprinted in Full) TO DEFEAT CUTLER Vote for Zempel ONE downstate legislative contest presents a great opportunity for the voters.

This is in the 43d senatorial district, where a determined effort is being made to unseat the veteran Reed Cutler. Cutler 1 a man of considerable ability, which he has used on the wrong side of loo many Important issues. During his long service the legislature, he has done more to hold back the progress of the state than any other member we can think of. When Warren Wood defeated Cutler for the ship in 1950, Cutler's influence began to decline. This year there is a good chance to defeat him for re-election.

There are several candidates for the Republican nomination in the district. Of these, the strongest is an able young lawyer of exceptionally fine personality, Paul Zempel. Zempel lives in Lewistown, Fulton County, which is also Cutler's home. Two years ago the public-spirited group that is backing Zempel in this important campaign elected Albert Scott to the Senate. In the last session Scott made an excellent and outstanding record.

If Zempel weref; nominated and elected, we believe we would win equal distinction in the lower house. Zempel Is vice-chairman of the Young Republican organization in his county, a Navy veteran of World War II, with combat duty in the Pacific on an aircraft carrier. In the 1949 and 1951 sessions, Cutler worked with Chicago's West Side block to defeat the Crime Commission bills. In gratitude, this group supported him for the ship in 1950. Cutler was also a purchaser of 1,000 shares of tha 10-cent stock in the Chicago Downs harness race track, an investment that turned out to be extraordinarily profitable for the few legislators who were able to acquire it personally or through members of their immediate families.

Among that number was Paul Powell, the Democratic leader of the House. Powell has been allied with Cutler on many legislative issues. At the last session, Cutler was one of the most active and vicious opponents of Judicial reform. The old veteran is a tough antagonist of the floor, feared by many members because of his sarcasm and vituperation in personal attacks. If he had used his talents for better objects, he could have been a most valuable member.

For the good of the state, he ought to be defeated, and Mr. Zempel should be elected in his place. Vote For Good Government Paul C. Zempel Republican Candidate for STATE REPRESENTATIVE ZEMPEL 1 Advertisement.
