Two years ago the assessors Office, then held
by I. B. Messick, was mace the center of po-
hticsl work for the Democrats in the township
campaign. Messick began to organize this force
early in January, and by the first of March he
had seventy FIVE men ostensibly as deputies, who
were securing the township for Rogers and
Palmer. This abuse of official privilege in
a degree an issue of the canvass which resulted
in Democratic defeat. Assessor Quill has de-
cided not to appoint HE outside deputies for ss-
seesing property until after the election. The
WORK, he saws, can be dona much better ana In
