...Held a state funeral for Senator James Hamilton Lewis of Illinois; heard that, to fill the vacancy, Governor Henry Horner had appointed James Michael Slattery, 60, chairman of the Illinois Commerce Commission, pink, parbald product of the Chicago Democratic machine, campaign manager for Governor Horner and Senator Scott Lucas.
