Forest Preserve Graft and Reform Battle in Cook County
The piece rails against Initiative and Referendum and a Corrupt Practices Act, warning they would erode minority rights and liberty. It attacks reformers as anarchists, touts Judge Thomas Taylor Jr. as qualified, exposes a forest preserve graft scheme, and criticizes county bond plans for hospital buildings while urging conservative governance.

A flood of names fills the ballot, listing Democratic and Republican county and city officials from treasurer to municipal judges. The piece notes opposition to a forest preserve measure and details railroad union candidate questions on wage, safety, inspections, and arbitration. It cites prominent figures like W. G. Lee, Robert R. McCormick, and local boards, with calls to end millionaire clubs wielding influence.
