The article presents information on elections in Illinois. First and foremost in this sad tale is the election of Colonel Frank L. Smith, the recipient of more than $150,000 of public utility funds while a candidate and while chairman of the Illinois Commerce Commission, to the post of United States Senator from Illinois. The electors had two alternatives, George E. Brennan, a former ward-heeler and Hugh S. Magill, an honest independent RepubIican, untainted by corporation funds, experienced in statesmanship and of unquestioned integrity.
