M. J. Walsh, WEST McHENRY. OUT FOR SURVEYOR CHMLB L tKYMV IS IN THE RACE FOR COUNTY SURVEYOR. [Woodstock Sentinel.] Charles L. Tryon of Woodstock la a candidate for the Republican nomina­ tion for the office4 of surveyor of Mc- Henry county. Mr. Tryon is a descendant from two of the first families that settled in Mo- Henry county--the Tryons and Beguns Of Hebron township. He was born at Elba, Neb., Nov. 30, 1885, coming' two years later to Hebron, in this county, where he spent the next ten years on a farm. Prom there he removed to Harvard and six years later moved to Wood stock, where he has since been a resi dent. He attended the Harvard high school two years, where he ranked high as a scholar and also took a prom inent part in athletics. After remov­ ing to Woodstock he continued his high school course here, finishing with the class of 1905. CHARLES L. TRYON Mr. Tryon then entered the employ of the Oliver Typewriter company in the Woodstock factory, where he re­ mained two years. He saved his earn­ ings and with his money entered the state university at Champaign, giving his entire attention to the study of civil engineering and acquiring a very complete knowledge of the latest and most improved methods in this pro­ fession. His technical training was preceded by a large amount of training and prac­ tical work under the direction of his unci#, Captain Charles H. Tryon, who was county surveyor for twenty years. After leaving school Mr. Tryon at once took up employment in his chosen profession. He was thus employed on the preliminary survey made for the Woodstock and Sycamore railroad which is now in process of construc­ tion. He also ran the location survey of the Kishwatikee Special Drainage district, being employed for that work by Hugh M. Price, the engineer in control employed by the commission­ ers of the district. During the past year Mr. Tryon has been associated with Arthur L. Web­ ster, county surveyor for Dul'age coun­ ty and city engineer for Wheaton, 111., who is one of the best known civil en­ gineers in northern 111. In Mr. Webster's employ Mr. Tryon has had much to do with survey work in the Rush Creek Drainage district, the Coon Creek Drainage district, the Marengo sewer extension, the Algon­ quin sewer plant and a number of farm surveys in this county, as well as sim­ ilar projects in DuPage county. At present Mr. Tryon is in charge of tfoe branch office which Mr. Web­ ster opened with the McHenry County Abstract company in Wood­ stock. Charles L. Tryoo is young man of fine traits of character. Ciean, honor­ able and ambitious to succeed, Ja,e has devoted himself energetically toward the accomplishment of his aim to con tinue the honoiyikte record estab­ lished by his distinguished uncle as a capable and reliable official £nd a worthy, progressive public citizen. Mr. Tryon is ambitious to be county surveyor, because he believes that he has the necessary personal titpess and practical training, coupled with a com plete knowledge of the latest and most improved methods of the engineering profession, thus making him the best taqAUpped man for the office in McHen­ ry co^ty. He has access to all of the original ae.tes, taken in the field, of former County .Surveyors John Brink and Chas. H. Tryos. Mr. Tryon will make « rational can­ vass of t&e county in support of his candidacy. He has only the highest respect for his opponent in the race-- the present surveyor, Lester Barber, of Marengo, whom he considers a per­ sonal friend, and rather than lose that friendship he would immediately re­ tire from the contest. In presenting his candidacy Mr. Tryon offers seven reasons why he is a candidate, which he believes should appeal to the voters in his favor. They are as follows: 1. I have had special preparation at our State University for the clam of work demanded by this office. 2. I have had ten years of field 1 >s fr»e<f,ience in this county with Chas. 11. Trjioc^ who was county surveyor iui twenty yoars. 3. I have had valuable experience in engineering aglces, having to di-al with drainage, road construction atu'l other surveying and engineering prob­ lems, which are bound to confnyo.t the county surveyor of the present day, if he be up-to-date. 4. I reside at Woodstock, 111., where I have instant access to all the county records and where I shall maintain an office. 5. If elected it is my purpose to forth my best efforts toward advane! :• the interests of our county and people by doing permanent work to­ wards better roads, better drainage and accurate land surveying, using the latest and most approved methods.

MAC curra MEETS FAVOR STRONG ENDORSEMENT BY LAKE COUNTY PRESS ASSURES SUCCESS AT POLLS. [Contributed.] The state senatorial conflict seems to be growing warm in Lake county, where MacGuffin forces are apparently gaining strength. Every Lake county newspaper, ex­ cept the one in which MacGuffin's opponent claims to own an interest, is standing firm for the nomination of their own county citizen, despite the fact that all kinds of influences have been brought to bear to induce them to support the present incumbent. MacGuffin, who has in the past been a hard worker in the interest of his friends, is proving himself a great campaigner ^nd handles the questions now before the district in a way which seems to satisfy and please the people with whom he comes in contact. The Antioch News has the following to say: "Four years ago this paper stood for the election of A- J- Olspn of McHenry county. We believed |bhep, and do now, that our neighboring county, at that time, was entitled to the member of the upper branch of the state law mak­ ing body. "State senators from the eighth dis­ trict have never asked a re-election, and it is in our opinion unwise to change the custom. "In all fairness and for the best in­ terests of "Lake county we recommend the nomination of Paul MacGuffin." The Wauconda Leader in an editor­ ial, speaking of and indorsing Mac­ Guffin, states: "We know the candidate; we like him; and we know he will go unfet­ tered and return with character un­ sullied, should the voters elect him to the senatorship." The forces "striving to re-elect the present incumbent do not in any way offer any reason tending to show Mac­ Guffin anything but fully competent, and the voters, outside of a few politic­ ians, are wondering why anyone should oppose the Lake county man.
