LAWRENCEVILLE. June 4. Former Governor Yatea continued hla campaign in tbe oil belt today, speaking at Robinson. Crawford county, and in this (Lawrence) county. Before leaving Marshall In the morning the Governor went through the of-tices of tbe Ohio Oil Company.

People are oil mad In this section of Illinois. Forty million barrels of oil have been taken out of the Held here In. less than three years at an expenditure of 30,000.000. Of this amount fully one-third has been left In tbe counties of Clark. Crawford, and Lawrence.

The landowner gets the value of one-sixth tbe oil produced from his land, and lbs opening up of the field bas done wonders for the eastern Illinois counties. Lawrencevllle is lighted, and heated by natural gas. which in some localities is found Just above the Tbe. courthouse, the churches, tbe business houses, and the residences are all heated here by gas at a minimum cost. Tbe oil wells on the county farm support that institution and from tbe surplus income the county is going to build a sheriff's residence next to the Jail.

Mr. Yates has been much interested In his ride through this territory, the countless oil tanks that dot the fields abowlng in sharp contrast to the verdant covering of the landscape throughout the corn belt. Yatea Favorite la Coast y. Lawrence county gave Yates the biggest majority in hla race for Senator of any i county in the entire state. He carrted it by over 600 majority.

While tome few of those who were for blm two years ago are oppos- lng him now, tbe largest proportion of those who were fighting him then are for him now. -and Lawrence county Republicans assured Mr. Yates that in proportion to the vote of the county they were going to lead tbe pro i cession again as the record Yates county In Illinois. This county has never failed to show its friendship for Yates, and at the congressional convention at Salem a few weeks ago Law- i rence county held the balance of power and 1 prevented instructions in accordance with the Deneen plan.
