After observing in an Aug. 24 editorial that Gov. Thompson borrowed Adlai Stevenson`s ideas for expanding state government in Illinois, The Chicago Tribune states, ”It would be hard to find two qualified candidates more different from each other–Mr. Thompson is an ebullient campaigner strong on administrative experience, Mr. Stevenson a thoughtful ex-senator good at developing long-range goals.” After the government failures and increasing taxes since 1982, Illinois voters deserve more than a choice between a
”zestful” Republican expansion of government authority or a ”mumbling”
Democratic destruction of individual initiative.
In 1986 Illinois voters will have a better choice–if they work for it. Bea Armstrong, the articulate and thoughtful 1982 Libertarian Party candidate for governor, offered voters a real choice: less government, lower taxes and more freedom for individuals to control their own lives. In 1986 a real choice should be available again.
