"Our workers have been met

He added that "this response was

In urging the Independent Par-ty
workers to continue their
campaign of "public informa-tion,"
at a meeting Sunday in V.

impartially publishing the

in its poster to leave a favorable

L. C. Mountcastle, a member

quoted Mr. Gcrbcr as saying at
a group meeting nve or six
weeks ago:
"I like you men personally very
much, but you are 100% for the
village. You should be 50% for
the village and 50% politics.
However, since you feel so
strongly about the village, you
can be* 80% for the village and

follow this you cannot be re-elected.
You'll serve only one
term. To succeed you must build
up a political machine."

which Robert E. Patterson is
chairman, Tuesday night in the
Elks club house. The Army has
purchased the former I. O. O. F.
hall on Church St., Freeport, for
a citadel, and Brigadier Albert
Morrell explained that of the to-tal
desired, half would be for
the support of the work this
year, the other* .half to go to the
capital account for the acquisi-tion
and remodeling of the struc-ture.
The campaign is expected to

Trustee Ryan, who is seeking

of the successful fight to keep
the Municipal power plant in the
hands of the village, and Wal-ter
J. Wood, his running mate,
backed up the other speakers.
Both declared emphatically that
if elected they would be concern-ed

the Home Rule Party. "Let's
forget politics," he asserted.
"Only three men got jobs out of
the several thousand persons who
signed our petitions and worked
for us last year... That doesn't
ook as though the Home Rule
Party was out to get jobs for
ts workers.'"'
Judge Johnson also spoke of
the success of Mr. Ryan, cbair-
?ian of the Power House Com-mittee,
and the other members of
the Board in staving off the
hreatcned shutdown of the Pow-er
Plant. By their succeea, he
added, the taxpayers of the vil-were

every prospect that the village

before March 31, No actual fig-urea"
were announced, but the va-rious
chairmen said every where
contributions were substantially
above those of a year ago when
Freeportera gave $17/222, .exceed-ing
the village quota by more
than $3,000. However, it was es-timated
20 ..percent of the goal

4ay night, at which time receipts
for the A%?t two weekai of the
campaign will be announced.
After tracing the mstory of the
power house campaign, Mr. Ryan
said:
"But this Village Board won
that oil fight, and don't let any-one
tell you otherwise/' He also
cited the fact that raises had
been granted to all village em-plo^
ees outside of department
ir and added the board had
under. didcMj%sion a wage formula,
for ;ramniT^*K*B *» to jobs, and
that increases would be stepped
