! his homo ever since. Mr.. Kim ball
has been a lifelong democrat. He
cast his first vote for Van Buren,
and has voted for 16 democratic
presidential candidates since. He
has held a number of offices in
the party and has served the public
in different capacities. He was super
visor from Rock Island during the
period of 1926 and in that time
disbursed $40 among the families
of soldiers. He was chosen mayor of
the city in 1868 to fill the unexpired
term of William Eggleston and later
served as city marshal under Bailey
Davenport and deputy marshal under
DIR. Thomas Gait. Mr.. Kimball has
personally met many of the men fa-
nous in the early history of the repub-
lie and is proud of the fact that he has
shaken hands with Lafayette aud
Gen. jackson and played ball with
Franklin Pierce. Although IS years
of age, he is in perfect possession of
all Lis faculties and abundantly able
to take care of the duties of the office
he has been nominated to fill. What
is more he deserves it, viewing it from
any standpoint.
George w. Henry, democratic
nominee for assessor, has been a resi-
dent of Rock Island county since 1856,
and probably few men have a larger
acquaintance in the vicinity than he.
He is a native OF New York City
where he was born in 1884. On COM
ing to this county he EN- barked in the
coal mining business with Lowry,
Thomas 81 Co., at Carbon Cliff. In
1860 he engaged in merchandising in
the town, II years latter disposing of
his store and taking up residence in
the city of ROCK Island. which has
been his home continuously since.
While living in Hampton township he
held various offices, having served
as supervisor, town clerk, COM
missioner of highways, assessor and
treasurer, being continued in the
latter position for nine years. In
1880 he was elected alderman from the
old First ward, and the following year
was entrusted with the work of re-
distributing the city. He was returned
to the council in 1881, 1888, and 1885,
finally resigning as alderman to &C.
cept appointment as deputy collector
of internal revenue, which office he
filled during President Cleveland's
first administration. For two years
Mr.. Henry was deputy under Assessor
j. r. Johnston. He is an earnest
democrat and during his residence in
the city has ever been active in the
affairs of the party. That he is fully
competent for the duties of assessor
all who know him will vouch. He is
an expert accountant, is as familiar
with the city as he is with the alpha
bet. and can be relied upon, if chosen
assessor, to perform his duties intelli-
gently, honestly and impartially.

RECORDS OF THE CANDIDATES
NOMINEES OF DEMOCRACY

The democratic candidate for city
treasurer. Paul Hamilton, is one of
the prominent young business men of
the city, having been for years identi-
fed with the banking house of
Mitchell & Lynde, for which he
is now serving as teller. hav-
ing been promoted to that posi-
tion recently on the resignation of +.
j. Kinney. Mr.. Hamilton is the son
of a pioneer engineer of the Rock Is
land road and himself was employed
for some time in the ticket Office of
the company. He enjoys a wide popu-
larity that insures him a handsome
vote, and should he be elected he will
give the city an able administration
of the Office of treasurer.
John Z. Sexton, democratic candi-
date for police magistrate, is of Yam
kee ancestry, being born in Simon
Falls, N. II. He obtained his early
education at Lawrence, where, af-
ter graduating from the public
schools, he took course at Cainey's
Law and Business college. At the
age of 10 he removed with his parents

While studying law Mr.. Sexton saw
an opening in the hotel business, in
which he EN- barked with success. AL
ways a democrat. he became promi-
nent in the councils of the party in
Guthrie county and served a term as
chairman of the county committee.
He was present in Chicago as an al

vontion that nominated Grover Cleve-
land for his second term in 1892. At
this time also Mr.. Sexton received
the populist nomination for state sem

and it was largely through his efforts
that fusion of the democrats and
populists in that section was effected.

THERE Is a law on the records of
New Mexico allowing the head of
every family an exemption from taxa
tlou on 5000 worth OF property. Some
uf the assessors have been holding
that this only applies to his home
stead, and IL that is not worth 5000
he gets no exemption. A bill has been
introduced providing him with the ex.
cmption, no matter where his prop
erty may be located. There are many
heads OF families in the territory who
have not got 5000 worth OF property
anywhere. The legislature should
care for them, add pass a law pro-
viding IL the head Of a family has not
got $500 worth OF property TO exempt
that the county treasurer shall pay
him as Il bonus in cash the sun Of
money that would be raised by taxa
ton on $500 worth OF property. The
head Of Il family should be looked out
for.
