TAX QUESTION TO
Get ATTENTION
States Attorney F. E. Thomp-
son Will Prosecute Dodgers
if They Are Found.

The action of the supervisors OF
Henry county in calling upon the Off
Gals of Rock Island county to investi-
gate the matter of tax assessments and
collections, has not fallen on deaf ears.
States Attorney F. E Thompson stat
ed this morning that the matter would
receive his attention, not so much by
reason of the Henry supervisors &C
ton but because of his own campaign
promise to prosecute tax dodgers if
any could be found. Lack of assistance
! in his office may render it impossible
| for Mr.. Thompson to give the investi-
| cation the time it seems to deserve,
| but he will take it up nevertheless.
! Henry county is interested in the
! matter because this county is making
use of its bad financial condition TO
avoid appropriating its share of the
money to build bridge over Rock
river at Colona.
The supervisors of the neighborins
county have gone so far as to instruct
their own states attorney to probe
the matter himself and have authoriz
ed him to employ an attorney in this
county TO conduct an investigation
should Mr.. Thompson find it impos
sibie.

L0RIMER TO TRY
DIRECT ELECTION
Former Senator Recognizing
Forces for anEtfort in Com

Chicago, April 2S.-William Lori

United States senate. will be a can
didate for membership in that body
two years hence. The next election
of senator will be by direct vote of
the people. Anticipating the victory
of the direct election advocates, Mr..
Lorimer and his lieutenants have
been quietly organizing their forces
and a concrete army of workers has
been marshaled. The Lorimerites will
make their first fight in the coming
mayoralty campaign.
William Hale Thompson. who had
the distinction of being the first and
only president of the Lorimer-Lincoln
league, is being groomed for the may
orally nomination. But the efforts OF
Mr.. Lorimer in reorganizing his forces
have not been confined to Chicago
He has formed local clubs in every
county in the state under the name OF
the Republican Club of Illinois, which
has branches in nearly all of the
smaller towns.
