r ' : o THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: NOVEMBER SO, 1919. 5 "A LOUDEN URGED FOR PRESIDENT ON WARRECORD Former Omaha Man Here Tells Reason Friends Support Illinois Governor for High Office. State Senator Clarence F. Buck of Monmouth and Joseph C. Ma son of Springfield, 111., were at the Hotel Fontenelle yesterday. Both .have many friends in Nebraska, Mr. Mason especially having a wide ac quaintance acquired through work on The . Bee and other Nebraska newspapers. '.'' , Senator fJuck and Mr. Mason called ori numerous Omaha citizens during the day in the interests of Governor Frank O. Lowden, the war governor of Illinois, whose friends are presenting his name to the people for consideration for the republican nomination for president of the United States. "From every part of the' country," said Mr, Mason, "are coming flat tering assurances of support. The attention of the people has been at tracted to Governor Lowden by his sterling Americanism. He was the first governor to pledge unfailing allegiance to President Wilson and the federal government when diplo matic relations with Germany were severed. From that moment he gave the federal administration his loyal support. In not a single in stance did he fail to respond when the Washington authorities called for assistance nd co-operation. Offers Use of Farm. "From the first Governor Lowden had a clear vision of what the war meant. He offered his fine farm in the Rock River valley to the gov ernment for a training camp. Some one asked if he did not know it would be ruined. Surely, he responded, "but if we don't win this war it will be worthless anyway.' ,"In the stress of war Mr. Low den went up and down the state, 1o training camps and cantonments, prenching patriotism and inspiring always inspiring the people to Kreater effort. He saw the Illinois troops aboard ship in New York, cheering them on their way with words of encouragement and hope. ITc promised to' meet them upon lluvr return and he kent his word, ma';ing three trips to New York to do it. ' "Mr. Lowden proved himself a wreat war governor. In the face ;,i war he reoreaniied the govern ment of Illinois, abolishing 125 boards and commissions and con- Milidatinsr their agencies in nine junior departments iwtth a director at the head of each, who was re quired to live in Springfield and give his entire .time to his duties, tie orovided for the budget system which proved so effective that taxes were reduced irom yu to a cents the first year, thereby saving to the people $4,000,000. In the com ing tax levy another: .reduction will be made. ' He bears the distinction of being a governof who reduced taxes notwithstanding 'war prices.

"He is distinctly popular with the people of Illinois. They voted $60, 000,000 in bonds for good roads to be paid from automobile licenses. They provided for a constitutional convention. They approved his private Nbank regulation bill and wildcat' banks are no more. Illi nois was the first state to ratify the national amendment granding equal suffrage to women upon his recommendation. , "These are a few of the things Lowden has done while war was in progress and, the country was suf fering, from its aftermath. Born in Minnesota, struggling for an educa tion in Iowa, admitted to the bar to practice law in Illinois, he won his way to success in competition with the sharpest and ablest lawyers in Chicago. He knows the needs of the people. A product of the Mis sissippi valley farmer, lawyer, statesman and great administrator he is receiving the loyal support of he section he has helped make great. He talks the language the people understand and appreciate. Many prominent Nebraskans are daily showing their approval of him by their energetic presentation to their friends and neighbors of his merits. They believe he appreciates their problems and knows how to help them solve them." ' Bee Want Ads produce results. CONTRACT GIVEN , FOR PUTTING UP , 1 MEDICAL ARTS Office, ..-Home' for Omaha Doctors to Be Ready by February, 1921, The contract for the erection of the new Medical Arts building at Seventeenth and Dodge streets has been awarded to the Selden-Breck company, and calls for the comple tion of the building on February 1, 1921. The building, which will cost $2, 000,000, will be 16 stories high, and, with one exception, the largest of fice building in Omaha. It will be tenanted by medical men only.
