HERBERT E. JONES.

One of the strongest candidates on
the republican ticket is Mr.. Jones. He
is now county recorder and has been
a millworker nearly all his life.
While at Pullman his executive abil-
ity and power as organizer received
an enviable practical recognition.
At this place he was instrumental in
organizing a local assembly of the
knights of Labor, and to his good
work in this connection was due the
fact that he was chosen as delegate
from that body to the Trades and La
Dor assembly at Chicago. at which i'm
portant gathering he was the young
est member.
Under these encouraging circum-
stances he held the position of roller
at the Pullman mill for two years,
when he resigned to take place at
the rolls of the Straight Fiber Iron
company of Chicago, Ill, where he
continued to work until the plant was
destroyed by fire in 1889 Soon after
this he came to East Chicago where he
secured employment as mason tender
and helper to steam filter at the plant
of the National Forge and Iron COM
pany then in course Of erection. 1t
was while so employed that he met
with an accident by which the cords
of his right hand were severed, COM
Polling him to give up the occupa-
ton of roll hand.
But this misfortune in this instance
was somewhat mitigated by his en-
ployment to a clerical position which

subsequently, he was promoted to
the position of timekeeper and pay roll

ALBERT MACK.

Lake county's genial treasurer, AL
bert Mack, is a candidate for re-elec-

say anything else. When he was elect
ed before, he rolled up the biggest ma
jority on the republican ticket. Per-
haps it would be harder to find a more
deserving or more popular man than
Mr.. Mack. 1t would be harder to find
man who has conducted business in
the county treasurer's Office with more
effectiveness than he. Mr.. Mack is a
German and proud of it. He is idolized
by the Germans and has done lot
towards bringing them into line for
the rest of the ticket Mr.. Mack, as
acting postmaster of Hammond for
nine years, won the confidence of the
people of the commounity and all par
ties united, to give him great vote in
1906. This, they will do again. Mr..
Mack was born in Lake county and
has always lived here. He is a Mason.
an Eagle, a Forester and a Knight of
Pythias. He has no enemies and is
