Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Breaking of the Deadlock: Being an Accurate and Authentic Account of the Contest of 1903-4 for the Republican Nomination for Governor of Illinois; Including the Story of the Long and Remarkable Campaign, the Proceedings of the State Convention, May 12 to June 3, 1904, and Much Of
The portraits of the candidates for Governor are inserted in the order in which their names appeared in the official announcement of ballots in the convention. Beyond this, the order in which the portraits are used is without design or significance. So far as practicable, pictures have been inserted where the text appeared to make them the most appropriate, but necessarily there are many deviations from this rule.
To the many persons who have furnished information or material for illustrations, the author acknowledges his obligations. He is especially indebted to Alderman Frank L. Race, of Chicago; to Mr. Frederick H. Wagner, staff photographer of the Chicago Record-Herald, and to Mr. J. Ellsworth Hare, staff photographer of the Chicago Inter Ocean, for many convention scenes and "snap-shots" which were unobtainable from any other source.
