Previous to this office I served as sheriff of Macon County from 1934 to 1938. I believe my demeanor as a public officer and manager, first as sheriff, then as county treasurer offers the opportu- nity to judge whether I am capable to continue as an of- ficer in your county govern- ment. My past records show that I have been efficient, cour- teous, and trustworthy in my dealings.

wouia marir. ballots. "Honest, sincere, straightfor. ward campaigning on the issues by our candidates will be rewarded next Tuesday by their election with overwhelming pluralities over their obstructionist opponents," Allen stated. "Speaking for Downstate alone, I forecast that their pluralities will be upward of 150,000." Berve, on the other hand, predict- ea tnat Illinois would go Republican, with the Downstele area ing the party a plurality in excess of 250,000.

He urged citizens to vote, stating that "a voting turnout that falls short of the largest possible total would be an admis sion to Hitler and his murdering gang that America has lost faith in naming her officials by the ballot-Green Lashes Kelly-Nash Governor Green also issued a fin al campaign statement, in which he said he was convinced that there was a "tremendous patriotic and indignant upsurge throughout the state against attempts to con script voters with the threat of reading them out of their birthright of American citizenship." "The people deeply resent the audacity of the Kelly-Nash ma chine in telling them that unless they vote the Democratic ticket they are disloyal to the war effort," the Governor said. "I know good citizens will let nothing keep them away from the polls. And i know they will vote for sincere and outspoken representation." The Illinois registration of voters totals 4,033,695. The vote in Nov ember, 1940, was 4,262,196. and in November, 1938, the most recent off-year test, 3,274,814.

Brooks-McKeough Fight Leads Chief attention was devoted to the contest for a U. S. Senate seat between the Republican incumbent. C. Wayland Brooks, and his Demo cratic challenger, Raymond S.

Mc-Keough, now in his fourth term as a congressman. Democrats charged that Brooks was a pre-war isolationist and ob structionist and asked the election of McKeough and other aspirants who were pledged to support President Roosevelt's wartime leader ship. Republicans contended Mc Keough was the hand-picked candidate of the "Kelly-Nash machine" and asked the reelection of Brooks on his record of keeping pledges and his announced stand for winning the war while reserv ing the rignt to question "any bungling." The campaign also developed a battle between the forces of the Republican state administration of Gov. Green and Democrats led by Mayor Edward J. Kelly of Chicago for greater spheres of political in fluence.

AdamowskJ Opposes Day At stake are control of the Illinois delegation in Congress, the state Legislature and the board of trustees of the University of Illinois, anu two state offices. Stephen A. Day, Republican incumbent, is pitted against the Democratic Benjamin S. Adamow- ski in the race for Congress-at- large. The Republicans now hold 16 congressional seats and the Democrats 11, but one of the state's 27 seats will be eliminated be cause of reapportionment.

A substantial gain for either side would have an important bearing on the fiht for domination of the national House. W. D. Forsyth of Champaign, a Democrat, is competing against William G. Stratton of Morris, Re publican now in Congress, for state treasurer.

John A. Wieland of Calumet City, Democratic incum bent, seeks reelection as state su perintendent of public instruction against Vernon L. Nickell, Champaign Republican. Food Tax Amendment The Kepublicans are striving to enlarge their mathematical ma jorities in the state Legislature. They now have a 28-23 margin in the Senate and a 79-74 margin in the House.

Citizens also will vote on the question of amending the Illinois constitution to exempt food from the 2 per cent state sales tax. The referendum was the subject of special mention in the statement issued yesterday by Democratic Chairman Allen. "The constitution al amendment will carry," Allen said, "although the Keeb-ler-Green machine, while pretending to support the measure, has actually been working to defeat it. "In 1940, Gov. Green gave the voters of Illinois his pledge that he would enact legislation to remove the retailers' tax from food, although he, a lawyer, knew well that it could not be done without constitutional amendment.

"After the election, he 'suddenly discovered" this fact, and asked the Legislature to place the required! amendment on the ballot."

The daughters wear Austrian cos tumes gay colored full skirts, ankle length, peasant blouses, and flat shoes. "We tried American clothes and we like them," says the Baroness Maria, in her early twenties, "but we feel uncomfortable in them." The sons Rupert, 30, once a Vien nese physician, and Werner, 26, wear Tyrolean hunting jackets and caps and have close-cropped hair. "They feel better," says Werner.

They're now on their third-trans continental tour, and their income from it probably will be as great as it was before Hitler seized their estates.

Five years earlier, singing had been something the Von Trapps did exclusively for their pwn amuse ment. It was family custom for them to gather in front of the mammoth fireplace in the baronial hall of their castle on cold winter nights, and sing folk songs which they collected during tours of the Tyrolean countryside.
