their coming Upon return. the results
of the committees investigation would

This Action in Running

That 1t is the plain duty of an Off

ton. was strongly urged at the confer
ence Of democratic candidates for
township Office and others interested
In the success of the ticket. held last
evening at S o'clock at the Rock Is
land house.
The matter came up in a discussion
relative to Wallace Souders, assistant
supervisor from Rock Island township,
aspiring to be elected assessor on the
republican ticket. 1t was pointed out
that Mr. Souders had made no move to
resign from the county board and that,
Judging from his actions it was his
evident plan 10 remain assistant super
visor until May, 1917, even should he
be successful in his race for assessor.
In the later instance he would be hold
ing down two Offices. which would be
manifestly unfair TO the voters of Rock
Island township. Assessing for this
year will be done by j. F. Moeller in
cumbent.
Resignation Urged.
States Attorney F. f. Thompson in
an address advanced the plea that Mr..
Souders should have resigned from the
board as soon as he became a candi-
date for assessor. He criticised his
evident attempt to hold two offices at
once Frank Blochlinger expressed
the opinion Mr.. Souders should pre-
sent his resignation to the town board
in order that his successor on the
county board could be named, as Rock
Island township is entitled to such
representation. All of the candidates
made talks in which they declared the
political outlook was encouraging.
