same may be said of the county sup
erintendent of schools; and we fee
no hesitancy in affirming the same
rule should apply in the election OF
county treasurer. The board OF
supervisors has more of the ele-
ments of representive body; it is
invested by law with quasi Legislative
duties and powers. being elected by
townships and restricted localities its
general membership is naturally rep
rcsentative of the political ma joTity
of the whole county, with occasional
exceptions.
But the office of county treasurer
| is sui generis: the incumbent is the
custodian of public funds in which
every tax payer of the county has n
special and personal interest and who
is expected regardless of his politics
to be strictly honest. an expert i'm the
matter of receipts and disbursements,
faithful in making a clear and exact
accounting of the same. and by reason
of his ability. integrity, and practi-
cal knowledge of the business in every
detail, should be as capable of detect
ing the inaccuracies, classifying of ac-
counts, or dishonesty of his subordin-
ates and employees, with as much pre-
cision and certainty as the most rig
id examination of a special committee
of investigation could detect and
bring to light.
Here is where the question-if
not, why not?-comes home to every
taxpayer in its full force. and in its
true meaning and extent. a party
candidate for this office may be an es-
teemed and reputable citizen. a kind
neighbor, Il true friend to his party,
and Il man of more or less influence
in the county where he resides. and
yet be lacking i'm some of the essen
tial qualifications we have enumerat-
ed: in fact, Notwithstanding his many
good qualities and personal honesty,
be far less qualified for this particu-
opposite party. If it be the honest
and deliberate Judgment of the voter
as he prepares his own ballot, that
such actual difference does exist be-
tween the candidate of his own and
the opposite party, for whom should
he vote? We present this question to
our readers in all sincerity, and with
great confidence i'm their sense of per-
sonal duty and their appreciation
of the interests of the public general
ly. Circumstances of recent occur
renee have brought these questions
into prominence before the public.
1t is needless to say that n generous
public will always be found deeply
sympathizing with an innocent and
confiding victim. 1t is not of his mis-.
fortune we speak, but of the lament
able inattention of the voters them
selves in not making closer and clear
err distinction between absolutely ne
cessary qualifications of candidates
for this office and the mandates of
party authority.
1--WE will only further add that the
force of our remarks, if they rest
upon true appreciation of the con-
ditions which ought to be considered
by the voter and taxpayer in the cleo
ton of a county treasurer apply with
equal urgency to the coming election
i'm November, and if our estimate of
the qualifications of the candidates
be founded upon correct information
we feel ourselves qualified in urging
the election of the democratic candi-
date. George w. Henry"

A NOTABLE CONTRAST
In the Candidates for the Office
of Sheriff In the Pres
ent Campaign.
DONOVAN Is PoPULAR EVERYWHERE
While Heider is Regarded as the
Choice of Political
Ring.

There has not been u campaign in
the history of Rock Island county
politics before where the relative
merits of opposing candidates for
public favor have been so conspicu-
ousIy contrasted and understood, as
is the case this fall i'm the matter of
the nominees for sheriff. From end
to end of the county. in city
Fand town, and country alike,
Cornelius Donovan Is known
and liked. and win he supported on
election day. His plain, unassuming
manner. the same characteristics
that have made him successful in his
own township whenever he has been
n candidate for Office. and which won
for him the nomination for sheriff
unsolicited, have made and are max
ing him friends by the score.
Marked Contrast

stamped Mr.. Donovan as the ideal
candidate for the high office of sher-
iff, is as notable in his opponent As

support of his own city, where the
preference was as decided as it could
be possible to make it for another
man who had been put aside on for
mer occasions through the influence
of cunning politicians, he now finds
himself before the people without the
support of his own party, upon which
he was forced as a candidate. In
stead of being the unanimous, or even
popular choice of his party or his
party's convention, he is the exam
pie of the accomplishment of po-
litical ring. and the favorite of q
county official who is not content to
retire from office with grateful
heart for the honors he has received,
but must dictate his successor whom
he may control
Nominated by a Trick
The conspicuous and admitted part
played by Sheriff Cralie in securing
the nomination of his protege was as
diSpleasing to the rank and file of the
republican party as the outcome was
amazing. IT. was simply the turning
of political trick, the same caper
that landed Cralle in the Office four
years ago. The party members put
up with the performance on the for
mer occasion, Notwithstanding that

place, politically, but they do not
propose to continue the present con-
troll of the Office by even a semblance
of support of what has been done.
