The ca ndidacy of a ID. Huesing for
grand recorder of the Ancient Order
of United Work men in Illinois, here
tofore referred to in TIE ARGUS, has
been endorsed by the three Rock ISL

HuesiDg, who retires from the office
of city clerk after making for himself
an euviable record, Is known to
possess the qualifications that pecu-

ton that his frieuds desire to obtain
for him. Mr.. Huesing has been for
16 years a Workmen and one of the
most active and progressive mem bers.
The Workmen order has no fixed head
quarters, and hence wherever the re-
corder lives there he has his office.
Mr.. Huesing is well known and
popular among the Workmen of the
state, and his friends in Rock Island
feel that, since this city is entitled to
the office, and having such a desira BILE
candidate, the convention will have no
hesitancy in approving of the selec-
ton made by the local lodges.
