(UPI Photo) Spot Stolen Car During Speed Check Morgan County Sheriff's deputies and state police are continuing their investigation of a stolen car recovered Sunday on a farm southwest of the Jacksonville city limits. The auto is a 1970 Chevrolet Corvette, which was recovered on the Richard Yates Rowe, farm, just off Massey Lane. Morgan County Sheriff Harold Wright says the auto was first spotted by state police who were using an airplane to make a radar check in this area. The state police reported seeing something partially covered by brush in a timber area of the farm. Sheriff's authorities obtained a search warrant from Judge John B.

Wright and received Rowe's permission to search the farm. Sheriff Wright says the car was found about 11 a.m. Sunday. Wright says authorities worked for about eight hours on the case Sunday but were unable to determine the owner of the car, as no serial number could be found on the auto. The auto had not been seriously damaged, although ignition switch was out and the door lock had been jimmied.

The car was towed to a local garage for the taking of fingerprints and other clues. Sheriff Wright reports Rowe said he had no idea the car was there. Wright also reports some possible leads in the case will be checked further. We're Going To Win And Win Big: Ogilvie Cass Co. Native Elmer Breemer Dies Monday my views.

I'm trying to bring the party Earlier during his last downstate campaign tour, Walker predicted "a substantial margin" of victory over Ogilvie in Tuesay's general election and disputed indications that President Nixon will carry Illinois by a landslide. "I think the polls are going to be proven wrong about George McGovern, Walker said at the Springfield Airport in one of eight news conferences from Rockford to Carbondale. The Democratic candidate predicted he will carry downstate Illinois- a Republican stronghold in past elections- as well as Chicago, which was expected to go to Walker behind the support of Mayor Richard J. Daley's organization. He said that he anticipates extensive ticket-splitting by voters Tuesday and discounted two Chicago newspaper polls which showed him trailing Ogilvie by several percentage points.

His own surveys have indicated that he has the momentum, Walker said, which will carry him past the incumbent governor. Earlier, in Rockford and the Quad Cities, Walker said, "We a are very glad to rest our case with the people." He will defeat Ogilvie, Walker contended, because "the people want better treatment (and) they want good, old-fashioned honesty from their government." The two candidates were accompanied by their wives, Roberta Walker and Marge Hartigan, in the campaign blitz which included airport stops in Rockford, the Quad Cities, Peoria, Quincy, Springfield, East St. Louis, Carbondale and Champaign. "I've got callouses on my finand on the bottom of my Walker declared at one stop, claiming that he has shaken hands with hundreds of thousands of persons during his 24-month campaign. He said that the voters are interested in rising taxes, personal safety, care for the elderly and, most of all worried about "confidence in Saying that will defeat Ogilvie by "substantial margin" Walker said the governor has "lost the confidence of people by making promises that have not been kept" on tax relief.

He predicted that if elected he would have no problem getting legislation passed by what many observers predict will be a Republican General Assembly. "The problem won't be any worse or any better than what Adlai Stevenson had when he had a Republican legislature," Walker said. "I'm not going to hesitate to take my case to the people." On McGovern. Walker said, "I don't anticipate a Republican landslide in Illinois and George McGovern is going to do much better than the polls indicate.

(AP)Gov. Richard B. Ogilvie brought his 10-week re-election campaign to a close Monday, telling supporters at eight stops along a jet-hopping tour of the state that "the signs are we're going to win and win big." The Republican governor, leading by two points in the prestigious Sun-Times straw poll, told newsmen in Chicago he believed he would defeat Democrat Daniel Walker by "more than 100,000 votes." At Rockford later he declined to make numerical prediction. In the final tally of the SunTimes poll, published Sunday, Ogilvie had lead over Walker. "Naturally, we find the polls encouraging," he said.

Aides to the governor estimate that one percentage point is the equivlent of about 50,000 votes. Ogilvie spent Sunday night in Carbondale, drove to Anna for breakfast hosted by Republican Rep. C. L. McCormick, returned Carbondale and boarded jet for stops in Chicago, Rockford, Moline, Peoria, Decatur, Quincy and Springfield.

In Moline he ridiculed Walker as "some johnny-come-lately who buys a 25-cent red handerchief and a $20 pair of boots and thinks that qualifies him to become governor." "He has consistently avoided any meaningful discussion, of the issues," Ogilvie said. At the same stop, E.E. (Hawk) Hughes, president of Two Ballots Await Voters On Tuesday Voters in Morgan county have two ballots awaiting them when they go to the polls Tuesday.

The governor was given a yellow hard hat, one of several construction helmets he has received along the campaign trail. The gesture was read as one intended to shore up what may be left of a Repubican labor vote in Rock Island County, one of the few areas of the state where party professionals concede the prospects for their candidates are grim.

Ogilvie was accompanied on his "fly-around' by State Reps. George Lindberg, Republican candidate for comptroller, and James Nowlan, candidate for lieutenant governor. His wife, Dorothy. and his closest political advisor, Chicago public relations man Thomas Drennan, also were aboard the chartered jet. The governor ended his 10- week battle for reelection, which has been plagued by resentment among some sections of the electorate over the state income tax, at a rally in his Springfield headquarters.

The Ogilvies planned to fly to Chicago early Tuesday to vote in their home precinct in suburban Northfield and then go to the National Broadcasting Company studios to view a tape of an interview with their daughter, Elizabeth. Ogilvie campaign workers are scheduled to await election results in the Walnut Room of Chicago's Bismarck Hotel. Nowlan will preside over a downstate election night vigil for Republican workers in the St. Nicholas Hotel in Springfield. In Quincy, the governor held a news conference that turned into a kidding session with reporters.

When a Chicago newsman asked him the highpoint of the campaign, he shot back: "Traveling with you, Henry." Judge John B. Wright of Jacksonville is one of the judges listd, as well as Judge Byron E. Koch of Winchester and Howard Lee White of Jerseyville. Appellate Court Judge Samuel 0. Smith of Girard is also listed on the ballot.
