He was un able to phut off hU power in the short npacw, out Turned The car Into the sentiment The citizens of the state are practically unanimous in holding him primarily responsible for the al most unbearable high taxation brought about by the increase of maintaining the state government from $5,000,000 a year under Altgeld to nearly $15,000. 000 under Deneen: "1 charge that there are three things the republicans have done while they have been In office In this state which ought to drive them from power. "The first thing I charge against the republican party is extravagance. I would like to quote to you some figures which were recently published In a pro hibition circular. The governor's salary at Dresent Is $12,000 per year while 20 years ago it was $,000; the cost of keeping up the governor's house in the last two years has been $41,000 while 20 years ago It was $C.0O0; the cost of the maintenance of the govern or's office was $16,(W0 last year while it was $2,000 eight years ago. "Senator Hurburgh has said that he made some Investigation as to the cost of heating and lighting the state I house In Illinois as compared with oth jer states. He found that it cost. $47,000 to heat and light the state house during the last year In Illinois; he went to I Ohio and found the cost was $24,000; ' In Indianapolis the cost was $22,000, , and in Iowa the cost was $21,000. j "Governor Deneen ha appointed 22 j rab it herders or game warden, In j the city of Chicago and the only game ' we have known about there was the species which formerly flourished which was known as the 'crap game" which has now been stopped under the Harrison administration. Now all the work these game wardens have to do is to protect the flock of Inno cent pigeons that fly about the board of trade building and feed on the grain which is scattered In the street from the Infuriated populace of Chicago. "I say the present administration Is guilty of hypocrocy and duplicity and double crossing during the whole of Its history. "The people of Illinois voted by a majority of four to one for the Ini tiative and referendum, but Deneen and his band have seen that they did not get it "I charge that another fault of the administration of Governor Deneen is the scandalous abuse of the taxing power."

The Htitn shows evidence of the collision with the pole and of the contact with Hie curb. The bicycle which the lad was riding was bent into a mass of Junk by being ground between the mud .miard mid the wheel. The mud guard was bent considerably. Had the boy fallen under the wheels, instead of at the side of the machine, 'leath would have resulted at once. As I' was, injuries of fr'al character were probably caused. H HOT' Fri.T.
