CANDIDATES RECOi BY ANTI- AGUE
Candidates for United Stales Senator, Congress and State Legislature to be Voted for at the General Election, Novem
ber 4, 1930; Based on Records and Statements of the Candidates in Support of the Maintenance
and Enforcement of Prohibition
THE OFFICIALS MAKE THE RECORDS—WE REPORT THEM
TO OUR CONSTITUENCY
LOTTIE HOLMAN O’NEILL, CANDIDATE FOR U. S. SENATOR
Ruth Hanna McCormick, Republican candidate for the United States senate, was
mentioned and accepted by the drys in the April primary election because she ran as a
dry candidate. She was nominated. However, when the Republican convention met in
Springfield, in August, Mrs. McCormick changed. Instead of taking a stand for the
maintenance of the Eighteenth Amendment and its enforcement, as she should have
done to keep faith with the people of the state who nominated her in the prin#ry, she
agreed to abide by the result of a referendum in accordance with a plank written into
the Republican state platform by wet leaders WHICH PROPOSES REPEAL OF THE
EIGHTEENTH AMENDMENT.
James Hamilton Lewis, Democratic candidate for the United States senate, is an
out-and-out wet.
But the drys are not without a candidate to support for this important office. Mrs.
Lottie Holman O'Neill has filed as an Independent candidate for the position.
Mrs. O’Neill, the first woman to be honored with membership in the Illinois legis
lature, has been elected to the general assembly four times, hence, she has had broad
experience as a legislator. She is thoroughly capable and trustworthy. Few members
of the general assembly have inspired a higher confidence and esteem among their
fellow members than has Mrs. O’Neill. She not only has a 100 per cent dry record, but
has also been a leader for legislation in the interests of the public welfare, particularly
for those issues and measures which most vitally concern the homes of the state. Her
record will bear closest scrutiny. If elected to the United States senate she will acquit
herself with honor to herself and to her constituency.
Mrs. O’Neill is a Hoover Republican in politics, and if elected to the senate will
work and carry out President Hoover’s policies for the observance and rigid enforce
ment of the Eighteenth Amendment.
Mrs. O’Neill lives at Downers Grove, Illinois. She is a member of the Episcopal
Church.
Please study these recommendations carefully and pass the informa
tion on to others. The stability of prohibition and its enforcement depend
upon the loyalty with which dry people support dry legislators and enforce
ment officers.
