The rally was sponsored by the Coles County Republican Youth Council. -Ogilvie made his appearance, here following campaign stops Stanton was named after another great-grandfather, Edwin M.

Stanton, Lincoln's Secretary of War. Naturally, Stanton became a Republican and always will be one. Things haven't been easy for Stanton Dotson. When he was four years old, his grandfather tossed him over the side ota boa.tjn 80jeet of water in the Gulf of. Mexico, to make him swim, and it has been sink or swim aver, since that occasion when his mother nearly had a conniption fit until she saw him come ud the bov won the free-stvle ScouKampagainst 4adwho Gold Medal, in swimming.

His grandfather, Ernest Lee ant Secretary of the Navy, him to come South to live in was 8 years old, he was visiting in Illinois and said to Stanton, "In Illinois you can raise -corn, wheat, beans and oatsj but in Louisiana we can" raise all tt these things, and cotton, sugar cane, and tobacco, too. Just what do you in EfftaghanvParis.andShei bvville. His entourage wages- corted through Mattoon before the rally. "The present adnfoisjEation," he saiiin lias displayed weakness, confusion and almost total unresponsiveness tdffieperfls we face? "A dead lake, poisoned air and the irretrieveable loss cf 1 recreation land are not vague threats for the future," he com-tinued. "They could become tragic realities."

It is up to the jury, be said, to make the decision in the light of the evidence. The judge said the biggest single qualification for a juror is that he be openmmded.

He said the'jurof must be able to disregard anything he has previously seen or heard in regard to a given case. He added that he must also be able to regard each participant as a stranger even though one of them may be his next door neighbor. Discussing the average person's reluctance to serve as a juror, he said individuals -cannot expect the protection of the constitution in regard to a jury trial unless they are willing to do likewise for others. Judge Hannah outlined the Illinois Jury Commission Act. Under it, three commissioners select at least 10 per cent of the electors, for the pool from which names are drawn for juries.

Questionnaires are sent out which determine 7 the prospective juror's ability to serve. Those with genuine disqualifying reasons such as deafness, poor health or home responsibilities which cannot be delegated are7automaticallir eliminated. Actual jury panels are select ed from those remaining. Judge emphasized that he considers it an honor to be called for jury duty because it is the expression of the confidence of others and their willingness to be judged by that Individual; Local Deaths Sareptia Henderson Mrs. Sareptia Louisa Henderson, 84, of 217 DeWitt, died at 12:25 p.m.
