ton as Assessor on His
Record.
native American, Mr.. Sheridan, who
was born in Sterling, Illinois, has
lived in Chicago since 1888.
For twenty years he was manager
of the shipping department of the big
packing plant Of Morris e. Company at
the Stock Yards. In 1912 he was ap.
pointed deputy clerk OF the Criminal
court and was elected member of the
Cook county board of assessors in the
fall election of that year. In this
capacity he served two years as sec.
rotary of the board and two years as
chairman, and during his entire term
his course has been guided by an eye
single to the welfare of the public,
fair play to the taxpayers duty. He
now holds the position of chairman
of the board of assessors.
Mr.. Sheridan received his education
In Sterling, Illinois. where he grad
uated from the public high schools.
He afterwards attended business col
lege and thus equipped he started out
to face the world, and in the worlds
battle has met with great success.
Mr.. Sheridan Is a member of the
Knights of Columbus, the Maccabees,
the Loyal Order of Moose, the Irish
Fellowship Club, the Englewood Pa
triotic League the Soldiers Relief So
ciety and is an auxiliary member of
the State Council of Defense. He is,
as we have said, Democrat from the
ground up, and Is now Democratic
ward committeeman from the Thirty
first ward. He was member of eX-
emption board No. ~ until January
~, 1918, when Governor Lowden ac-
cepted his resignation which Mr..
Sheridan was obliged to tender so he
could attend to his official duties as
member of the board of assessors.
Mr.. Sheridan has the distinction of
being complimented upon the fact
that his board of exemption. had not
cost the government single penny
for anything while he was member
of that body, as he furnished the
clerk-hire, room, light, heat and
everything else pertaining to the
work.
As stated at the outset Mr. Sheri-
dams term expires in the coming fall.
He is candidate, within the lines of
the Democratic organization, and If he
is nominated for reelection (Which is
certainty he will undoubtedly be
reelected He is man of quiet and
unassuming ways, and his candidacy
is being conducted in quiet, dignifed

way. AS he says himself: "If the
Democratic organization drafts me
again for Office shall make the race,
and If elected shall serve. If am not
drafted by the party shall be found
working for the regular candidate,
and for all the regular candidates on
the county ticket"
Michael X. Sheridan is nothing If
not patriot. He has given his time
and best efforts to his country ever
since the outbreak of the war. His
son, John J. Sheridan, 20 years of age,
is enlisted in the aviation section of
the United States army.
He should be renominated and re.
elected to the hoard of assessors.

the order of the South Dakota coun-

the German language in public which

has resulted in considerable friction
here.
Rev. Mr.. Jehn, pastor of the Ger

Immediately after the publication of
the order circulated a petition asking
that the use of the German language
be allowed in his church and went to
Pierre to present it to the council.
AS soon as this became known cit
liens who do not believe that the use
of the German language is necessary
or desirable bombarded the council
with kilograms protesting against the
modification of the order, and it is
believed that the council will ignore
the petition presented by Mr.. Jehn.
