TOWNSHIP DESERVE TO BE SUCCESSFUL
IF ABILITY AND INTEGRITY is WANTED

7 been the leader OF the Irl-CllF
! Switchmen's union for man years
and is now serving his third term
as chairman of the executive board
of the Tri-City Federation of La
| Dor. In all his activities in the
trades union movement he has ac-
Quilted himself with great credit.
| BY voting for Mr.. Jacobson you
will be voting for a man who is
an intelligent champion OF the
rights of the organized workers OF
Rock Island.
| For assistant supervisor, Charles
| L. Thompson, after much persua-
/ sion, consented to permit his name
! to be used as a candidate for re-
| election. Mr.. Thompson is just
completing his first term as assist
ant supervisors but in that two
years of time he has crowded much
( of service and square dealing He
needs no Introduction to the peo-
pie of Rock Island, because he has
been in public Office before and
( has been a business man and con-
/ tractor, whose record stands on
par with the best. 1t is not often
that the voters have an opportu-
nifty of selecting man of his type
and calibre to represent them on
the county board. Surely no bet
ter selection can be made of a
man who is to guide the expendi-
ture of 100000 of the peoples
money, than can be found in Mr..
| Thompson. 1t is with pride, there
! fore, that the Democratic party Of
fers him to the voters of Rock Is
land as their candidate for reelec-
! ton for this important office.
George p. Garrison is a candi-
| date for the Office of assistant SUI
pervisor by virtue of the fact that
he is a man of broad vision, keen
perception and excellent business
ability. He is a printer by trade
and for more than 20 years has
been an active member Of Typo
graphical union 107. He has had
| many years experience N execu-
tive positions in the trade union
movement and has repeatedly dem
onstrated his ability to capably
discharge any duty imposed upon
him. A vote for Mr.. Garrison is
a vote for good sense in manage
ment OF our county affairs.
In Cornelius Buckley, one OF the
new candidates for assistant SUI
pervisor, the Democrats offer h
property holder and a man with
experience in big business affairs.
Mr.. Buckley was farmer in the
upper end, has always lived In
Rock Island county and has the
interests of the county at heart.
He has not served on the board
of supervisors, but after consider
able persuasion was induced to
permit his name to be used as d
candidate. He realizes that the
management of the business of the
county should be handled with the
same care as the management of
his private business. II elected,
he will see that for every dollar
Of the peoples money spent, they
get a dollars worth of service. He
has no political debts to pay to any
county official, and when he audits
the accounts Of the officers, you
may know that the audit IS correct.
A vote for Buckley is a vote for
business Judgment in county gov
eminent.
A man to successfully discharge
the duties incumbent upon a town
clerk, must among other things bal
honest, intelligent, and a man OF
tact. In the person of Henry G.
Grampp can be found all of these
qualifications in unlimited quaint
ties. He is now serving his second
term as secretary-treasurer of the
Trf-City Federation of Labor, one
of the most difficult positions in
the labor movement, and in all the
time he has held that office, not
one complaint has been made
against Mr.. Grampp. He has COW
cred himself with credit for the e.
ficfent and capable manner in
which he has handled the duties
of that office and the voters of
Rock Island may congratulate
themselves if they are fortunate
enough to secure the services of
Mr.. Grampp for town clerk.
In selecting an assessor, the peo-
pie are required to exercise great |
care and judgment. The duties of
assessor are among the most i'm
portant in the town. He must |
be absolutely honest and fair, He |
must be a man who cannot be in |
fiuenced either by friend or foe or |
by the promise of personal gain. |
The Democratic party feels that |
Henry Hinrichs has proven beyond |
the question of d doubt mat he is |
possessed of all these require |
ments. His past record shows it, |
and it is impossible to add any
thing to the splendid record that |
Mr.. Hinrichs has made during this /
two years that he has been as
SCISSOR, He has made a host OF /
friends and his reelection is a for |
gone conclusion. Mr.. Hinrichs has
been employed by the Tri-City
Street Railway company as d mo
torman and has been an ACTIVE
member of Street Car Mems union
313 for a number of years. He
served with credit a term as as.
sistant supervisor. BY rejecting /
Mr.. Hinrichs the voters of Rock |
Island will demonstrate the fact |
that they appreciate his splendiJ |
work
In Axel T. Nielsen and Herman |
Sturm the electorate is offered two /
active young men who can do the
work of constables efficiently. /
There is not enough attention pail !
this office. 1t is very important, /
and by electing these two men you
are assured good service,
