Illinois Blue Book

The provided text is not a pulp magazine issue. This is the *Blue Book of the State of Illinois* (1905), a government reference compilation edited by Secretary of State James A. Rose. The volume contains official rosters and administrative information: state officers serving as of January 1906; the 59th Congressional delegation from Illinois (senators Cullom and Hopkins, and twenty-five representatives); congressional district boundaries; and indexes to state boards, county officers, federal officials, constitutional documents, and institutional records. The text represents a standard civic reference work documenting Illinois state government organization and personnel during Theodore Roosevelt's presidency.
