MANUS, FREEPORT, ONE OF THREE NOMINATED FOR CIRCUIT BENCH Dixon, 111., April of the sixtli supreme Judicial district Saturday unanimously nominated Attorney Elwyn R. Shaw, Freeport, as their candidate for the Illinois supreme bench to oppose Jus- lice Oscar E. Heard, Republican, also of Freeport, at the judicial election to be held Monday, June 5. Following the decision of the supreme court convention Democratic delegates from the fifteenth judicial district nominated Attorney Albert H. Manus, Freeport; State's Attorney Frank T.

Sheean, Galena; Attorney Albert H. Hanneken, Dixon, as their candidates for circuit court judges. The nomination of Mr. Shaw became apparent before the convention formally opened, when Representative John P. Devine, Dixon, announced he was not a candidate for the nomination.

The name of Mr. Shaw was placed in nomination by Attorney Charles H. Linscott, Rockford. now a member of the Illinois court of claims, who withdrew from the race. Mr.

Linscott had announced several weeks ago he would seek the post, but after being named to the claims court he withdrew from the race for judicial honors. The nomination of circuit judge candidates were unanimous, as well as the nomination of Mr. Shaw. Plan Intensive Campaign It was indicated by the four candidates and all delegates assembled that the Democrats would make an intensive campaign for the offices at the June election. Complete harmony prevails within the ranks of the party throughout districts, according to speakers of the afternoon.

State's Attorney Louis F. Reinhold, Freeport, was selected permanent chairman of the fifteenth judicial circuit convention, with Attorney Robert Morris, Lanark, as permanent secretary. In addressing the convention Mr. Reinhold reviewed the achievements of the Democratic party and predicted the party would continue its fight for offices. Attorney Sherwood Dixon, Dixon, was named permanent chairman of the supreme judicial convention, and Jacob Alschuler, Aurora, was selected permanent secretary.

Acceptance Speech In accepting the nomination for the office of supreme court justice Attorney Shaw referred to Chief Justice Heard as a "worthy and greatly esteemed jurist." "Although I shall mention other things as the campaign progresses, I will speak of only one at this time, and that concerns a certain law," Attorney Shaw said. "The law to which I refer was not passed by the legislature of Illinois, and can never be interpreted, modified, nor changed by the supreme court; that law is the law of nature, which grimly and inexorably ordains that men shall grow old, and eventually shall fall and die. If it were possible to so modify this law, so that one could be suddenly rejuvenated to serve further with a new body and an active mind, it would be a wonderful thing; but unfortunately that is impossible. The law of nature. Attorney Shaw declared is that "when a man gets to be around eighty years old, if he has not sooner done so, he begins to fail in body and in mind." "Regret it as we may," he declared "it cannot be helped.

If this seems hard and cruel, we must remember it is nature's law and not ours, and that regardless of our present health and vigor no matter what our age, we are all traveling the same narrow road to that same eventual and certain failure. "When I say that my respected opponent has been my friend, I am telling you the exact truth, and when I say further that I feel sorry and regret that he cannot live and serve forever, I am also telling you the truth. In his case, however, there cannot be the regrets as in many others. For forty-nine years he has constantly served in public office. The people of Illinois have been good to him in all his days.

They have heaped honors upon him, they have paid him the highest salary received by any public official in this state. They have even provided by law that if he retires or if he is beaten in this election, he shall receive a generous pension, sufficient to support him not only in comfort but in luxury, so long as he may live. For these reasons I say to you that it is not only inevitable that he must retire soon by reason of his great age, and the laws of nature, but that in his case it is entirely just that he should be required to do so before his mind or body fails, and before the people who have been so kind and generous to him are made the expense of a special election." Democratic Nominees for Judicial Posts E. R- SHAW Freeport lawyer named for supreme court, 6th district, at convention in Dixon Saturday. H.

MANUS, Freeport For Circuit Judge WILLIAM HURT WINS RIGHT TO ENTER NATIONAL CONTESTS FRANK T. SHEEAN, Galena For Circuit Judge CHICAGO EASTER STYLES RUN MAINLY TO RAIN COATS Chicago, April less of style dictates, rain coats were the vogue in Chicago's rain- soaked Easter parade.

Competitors as well at; subjects were drawn by lot, with time limit of 40 minutes allowed each speaker.

The accomplishment of the Freeport speaker will be seen in the assignments given him, which covered a wide range of subjects and would furnish a task for even more mature speakers. They were as follows: In the preliminary round Burt's subject was "Hitler and the in the semifinal, "Technocracy," and in the final, "Japan's Setback at Geneva." Recently Burt was named the highest ranking high school speaker In his field in the United States from his record o'f 242 points gained against opponents in tournaments and interscholastic contests in a series of debates covering more than dozen contests. That this young Freeporter well deserved the honors he has been awarded was learned on the return of the debating team from Evanston, when Coach Paul K. Crawford of Freeport high stated that the two judges. Professors Hardy and Doesberg, of Northwestern, had declared Burt to be the outstanding high school speaker they had heard from any platform.

E. L. Kimball, of Chicago Central high, in charge of the contests at the university, expressed the same opinion regarding Burt's ability and talent, and while the young Freeporter was speaking, C. C. Cunningham, professor of speech at Northwestern paid a visit to the 1 hall for the purpose of hearing Burt and added his endorsement that the local speaker was outstanding in his field.

William Burt, is a son of Mrs. M. R. Burt, 715 West Lincoln boulevard. Other F.

PURE OF ALL PLAYERS IN MOVIES No matter how charming they may sound, southern in fact, accents of any listened to with a jaundiced ear at the movie studios, according to a director of a voice and dramatic school. Many are affected by the ban on accents, for all must submit to having the "r's," "g's" and other inflections of "pure English" reinserted into their vocabularies. In explaining the decree, the director said: "Unless playeit; can enunciate pure English they are limited as to the parts they can play, their work and that of the studio which employs them being hindered thereby. for that matter, Yankees and have all traces of provincialism removed from their speech before they can become truly valuable players.

"Personally, I like the southern accent, but my duty is to see: that players under contract can enact any type or role on a moment's notice." Whether or not salaries of rural school teachers in Stephenson county will be reduced for the next year depends entirely upon the boards of the various school districts, according to F. P. Donner, county superintendent of schools. The various boards have power to fix salaries in their respective districts, and, it.was said by the superintendent, there has been no united action favoring salary decreases. However, some boards may decide to slash pay for teachers in their own districts.

Up to the present time, it was indicated, only a small number of teachers have been offered or signed contracts for next year and hence it can not be said just what changes, if any, are made in salaries. Pay of some rural school Instructors was reduced last year although there wehe no unusual cuts in this county.

In the white house, blocks away, President Roosevelt watched with interest the senate's approach to the inflation question, rounded out more of his domestic emergency program, and at the same time speeded preparations for his forthcoming international economic conferences with leading statesmen of the world. The senate had to untangle a parliamentary snarl around the Black five-day work week bill before plunging into the inflation question, but the house set Itself a straightaway test on the McReynolds' resolution to cloak Mr.

Roosevelt with power to place embargoes on shipments of arms and munitions to aggressor countries engaged in warfare. Long's and Wheeler's Silver Amendments Senators Long La.) and Wheeler Mont.) injected the inflation issue into the senate's debate on the administration's farm relief program. Long offered an amendment providing for government purchase of $100.000,000 of silver and Wheeler proposed free coinage of sliver at a ratio of 16 to 1 with gold. Long was ready to press for action on his amendment as soon as the muddle around the measure sponsored by Senator Black Ala.) for a five-day work week in industry had been cleared away. Senator Trammell Fla.) has entered a motion to reconsider the vote by which the senate approved the Black bill, his move holding the bill in the senate for more than a week.

Today, Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the Democratic leader, said he would act to end the delay and speed the measure, approved in principle by the administration and the basis of its prospective labor legislation, over to the house.

Democratic leaders expressed confidence that the Long and Wheeler amendments would be defeated. They explained that defeat would not necessarily be a test of the senate's convictions, but rather that inflation should be considered separately and not as a part of the farm relief bill.

Hope For Vote On Fann Bill Soon Leaders also were hopeful that a final vote could be had in the senate on the entire farm program by mid-week. They were ready to move for a limitation of debate after today. In the house chairman McRey- no'ds of the foreign affairs committee said the Roosevelt administration wanted the arms embargo legislation so that the chief executive could cooperate with other powers in replacing restrictions on the activity of aggressor nations, The opposition, led by Representatives Fish of New York, and Tlnkham of Massachusetts, Republican members of the committee, charged that the proposal would get the United states into the league of nations by a backdoor, and that it was aimed at Japan. Thoy claimed it would Invite wars by radically altering this nation's neutrality policy. SHERIFFTAILmOSKED TO SEARCH FOR LOFTUS, TAYLORVILLE JAIL-BREAKER Sheriff Elmer L.
