master of Lincoln.
MIR. Steers first official position was
deputy district clerk under r. M.'Ned-
der. "A position he relinquished in 1873.
In 1888 he was nominated for district
clerk by the republicans. carrying tn"
county by over 5000 majority. Four
years later he was reelected by an
equally large majority. The clerk
office in those days was a fee office,
and the profits were large. Mr.. SiZer
became interested i'm the banking bust
ness but later real estate investments
claimed his interest. He was the lead
ing spirit in the effort to establish
PROSPEROUS college suburb at Lincoln
Normal. but the panic times came and
all of the company's hackers lost
heavily.
After Sam f. Lows selection as dis
trict clerk Mr. SiZer became his deputy,
serving for two years. When the war
with Spain came and Cuba fell into
American hands Mr.. SiZer was sent I"
Havana, where. as chief clerk in the
customs office. he did most excellent
service. His health failed him ana In
the fall of 1900 he came home. In May.
1901. he was named as state oil inspeC-
tor. a position he yet holds.
Mr.. Sizer has long borne the reputa-
ton of being a most excellent political
manager. He is a believer in thorough
systemiZation. and his ability in this
line has made him invaluable both as
a campaign manager and the head of
a public office. His competency to fill
the office of postmaster is unques-
toned !.
Mr. Sizer won his title of colonel as
a member of Governor Thayer's staff.
