Setliffe, at State headquar- ters here, upon receipt of word from one post of the tendency of some of its members to mix politics with the campaign that will end November 7, when Illinois voters will decide on the $55,000,000 bond issue for an Illinois bonus. “I have mentioned the possibility of a big-city post getting the polit- ical taint,”’ Setliffe said. “It won't if it watches itself, and it will if it doesn’t.

Primary Campaign of Reed. Even in the primary camp: Reed had no word of criticism Republicans and it is to be sumed that he will be equally tious in the general election Reed began his prim ‘am- paign without indulging in personal- ities. but it was long progress before he was terming Breckinridge Long, his opponent, “‘an amphibian camel.” “a corpse,” “a worn-out jockey,’ and various other things. Although the general election paign has barely started, Reed already classed his Republican ponent, R. R. Brewster, as a ed jockey.” It is not to xpected that the Democratic Committee can hold Reed in check. He will watch him- self on the general Republican prop- osition. but Brewster undoubtedly will be given attention in usual styie. The definite plan of campaign will be outlined at a meet- ing of the Executive Committee of the State organization in St. Louis Sunday. The meeting was called yesterday by William L. Igoe, chair- man of the State Committe: who departed from St. Louis today for a rest of a week before entering ac- into the campaign.
