for several years, and is honored and respected by all who know him.

OOUNTY SURVEYOR The office of county surveyor la Jasper county is an important one, and in L. A. Bostwiek the democrats have perhaps by tar the best qualified man for this office that there la in the entire county. Mr. BostwlclC is not a politician, but when it comes to efficient and practical knowledge of civil engineering he is right at home, having had many years of that actual experience which especially qualifies one for such a position beside the “book learnin’ ” that one gets in taking this course in our best educational institutions. Mr. Bostwiek is best known in Rensselaer, where he will receive a large vote, not only from democrats but from members of the opposing parties who know the importance of having an experienced surveyor in this office. COUNTY ASSESSOR 1 Joseph E. Thomas of Newton tp., is our candidate for county assessor. ‘ Joe’’ has served his township as assessor there and has made a careful and efficient officer. His experience as such will be of benefit to him in the higher office of county assessor, and he will get many republican votes among his neighbors and friends In this section of the county, where he is best known.

( OUNTY COMMISSIONERS For county commissioners we havq Frank W. Fisher in the north end of the county, District No. 1, and James A. Washburn of Remington for District No. 3. Both are very competent men to till this most important office—more important perhaps to the taxpayers than any other office in the county and too often not given the consideration by the voters that it should be. Both gentlemen are well educated and eudowed with excellent business judgment, which makes them especially qualified to fill the office with honor and credit both to themselves and the county, and the taxpayers can be assured that the affairs of the county will be intelligently and economically administered with Frank Fisher and “Jim” Washburn on the board of commissioners. COUNTY COUNCIL Now, we have not the time nor space to make an extended mention of the members of the county council whose names appear on the democratic ticket; All are men of good judgment and worthy of your support. For county councilmen-at-large. Frank Schroer of Union, Joseph Nagel of Marion towniahp, and GeOrge Besse of Remington, with Emory Garrjott in District No. 1, composed of Kankakee. Keener, Union and Wheatfleld townships; John F. Ryan in District No. 2, composed of Barkley, Uillani, Hanging Grove and Walker townships; James H. Carr for District No. 2, composed of Marion and Newton townships, and Charles W. Hamer for District No. t, composed of Carpenter, Jordan and Milroy. Wlhile the entire county votes on county commissioner and county councilmen-at-large, district councilinen are only voted for by districts, and the voters iu t'he first councilmanlc district do not vote the district candidates of any other district, etc. In Saturday’s Issue we will givo the names of the democratic candidates for township trustee and also all the candidates on each of the township tickets, by townships.
