He served as town assessor in Waukegan for a period of four years and held that office during a twelve months‘ court battle over the office he now holds. In 1934 he contested the election of County Clerk and won the fight by virtue of a Supreme Court decision. It was during the time when A.V. Smith was States. Attorney that Bart Tyrrell was the instrument by means of which three notorious murderers were brought to justice in one of the most dastardly crimes _of the period. A young farmer by the name of William Beck was murâ€" dered in his home near Lake Villa, Bart Tyrrell, who is seeking the nomination for the office of Sheriff of Lake county, is probably one of the best known men who mr&w- gaged in law enforcement work in Lake county, having been connected with the police work in various caâ€" pacaties for twentyâ€"two years. At present he is detective sergeant of the Waukegan police force. For forty years Tyrrell‘s father was chief of the Waukegan police, so that the family has been identified with lawâ€"enforcement work in Lake county for better than half a cenâ€" tury. The Democrats who favor Tyrâ€" rell‘s candidacy feel that no better background could be had for a sherâ€" iff of Lake county; in the first place, they point out, there is no man in the county better known nor more generally trusted. Bart Tyrrell is known for his fearlessness and honâ€" esty and he has been instrumental in solving many of the major crimes that have been committed in Lake county during the past few years. Tyrrell is fortyâ€"six years old, married and the father of four children; he makes his home in Waukegan and at present is on a vacation which will extend throughâ€" out his campaign. Tyrrell was a candidate in the 1934 election. He polled a tremenâ€" dous vote in that campaign and missed the election very narrowly. At present he is prepared to camâ€" paign actively and will spend much of his time in rural districts. He is regarded by those who know him to be a man absolutely above graft and corruption in office. in the presence of his aged father and mother| Bart Tyrrell, alâ€" though not connected with the sherâ€" iff‘s office, secured information from William Beck on his deathâ€"bed. This information was brought out at the coroner‘s inquiry, and as a result of the information Tyrrell possessed, States Attorney Smith had the police commissioner assign him to the case. Within two weeks he apprehended the three murderâ€" ers, all of whom were electrocuted. partment of the Regulsr Army, he Emanul R. Parnass Bart Tyrrell During his services in the Reguâ€" lar Army he was on the staff of Genâ€" eral George Bell. Later he ‘served as legal adviser to the Air Service at McCook Field at Dayton, Ohio. At that time McCook Feld was a center of air service activities and it was from this point that the celeâ€" brated Army Around the World Flight was organized. He resigned from the Army in 1923 and entered again into the practice of law at Chicago. He came to Waukegan about 14 years ago to accept a partâ€" mership in one of the prominent law firms in that city. For the last six years he has been practicing law independently. In 1931 on behalf of Edward McDermott, the first Demâ€" ocratic candidate for County Audiâ€" tor, he filed recount proceedings. He is now engaged in the general and active practice of the law at Wauâ€" kegan and still retains his Army commission, being now a Major in the Judge Advocate Reserve Corps of the Army. accepted and returned to the Army as the youngest Captain in the servâ€" T. A. Simpson T. A. Simpson, who held the office of Superintendent of County Schools for 24 years, or six consecutive terms, is again seeking the office in which he was popular, returning to the educational field after two years as manager of the Citizens National Bank building, with its many offices, in the city of Waukegan. He was appointed one of three trustees of the building by the Federal Disâ€" trict court of ‘Chicago. Mr. Simpson‘s story as a public servant is an outstanding one. Few men have held that position in the State of Illinois as long as did Mr. Simpson. During his incumbency so much improvement was made in the school system of the county, so many changes were brought about, that at the end of Mr. Simpson‘s term of service the school system of the county compared favorably with that of any county in the State. The problems of the schools have always been very real and very imâ€" portant to the man who has spent the greater part of his life in them. He finds himself unable to detach himself from them, he declares, and therefore, he is seeking to be returned to the office where he‘atâ€" tained widespread credit for his efâ€" ficiency and his devotion to his duâ€" ties. Mr. Simpson is appearing on a Democratic ticket before the April Primaries, because, he declares, of his admiration for the efficiency of the present State administration. He is gaining strong support in the Democratic ranks and immediately after his filing the Civic Democratic League of Lake County pledged him the organization‘s unanimous supâ€" port. 4 During the time that Mr. Simpâ€" son served as county superintendâ€" end he was a great favorite in the rural districts. He received a great deal of favorable publicity in such publications as "Prairie Farmer" and "Farmer‘s Wife," both of them publications of national circulation. State Supervisor Hoffman, in office during a part of Simpson‘s long term,. declared that "Lake county schools passed through a hundred years of improvement during those twentyâ€"four years." Mr. Simpson ‘was born in Lake Forest and has spent his entire life in and around Waukegan. Prior to his election to public office he once served as principal of the North School in Waukegan. Rep.
