I }.[ I ~I r. :HPM E RULE :! Continued Prosperity HE SERVES YOU BEST Roben M. Sweitzer, who is finishing his fourth term as county clerk and clerk of the county court, is a candidate for re-election. It is need less to say that this announcement will meet with 'general approval, not only from those in~ereste~ in politics, but from the general public as well. Seldom has a publtc offictal been as well thought of as Mr. Sweitzer, not o~ly by ~hose of his own party, but the opposition as well. His unfatl~ng ktndness, genial personality, .and 'his insrstence upon being accesstble to any and all callers have . tn the years in which he has held office, endeared him to all. . When Mr. Sweitzer first ran for office he was general salesman for the John V. Farwell company, where he established a record for dry goods sales of over a million dollars. Immediately upon being elected County Clerk he instituted several reforms tha.t were st~nling. He a.bolished the practice of the marrying justices whtch were tn ~ffect makmg the office a second _ Gretna Green .

He · tnststed that the ux payers comply strictly wttb the rules of the office. He urged that a public official was servant of the people and shou.ld at all times be accessible, and he said that as Ion~ as he held .office hts doot would be open to all callers, a resolution whtch he h~s fatt.hful!y k.ept, and any person in Cook County, no matterd what hts statton m ltf~, can wal.k into this democratic man's office an get ~ re.spectful heanng, and judging by the number of people gfthered 10 hts office, day after day, it is plain indication that the people ~ our fo~nty are fully alive to the fact that they know where they adve a ne~~ who will lend a helping hand in their many troubles · an perp extttes.
