In his addresses before political meet- ings Mr. Berg stated that there is too great a tendency all over the country to make the property owner of mod- [erate means bear the brunt of taxa- [tion and payment of public improve- | ments. "It is the duty of a county asses- |sor," said Mr. Berg, "to see that the | spreading of assessments is done as | equitably as possible and it is to this lend that I intend to devote' my in- terests if I am elected next month." Mr. Berg has a long record of pub- lic service in Berwyn and his friends | point to his banking experience there of government and stability in opera- tion."

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 interested in politics, but from the general public as well. Seldom has a public official been as well thought of as Mr. Sweitzer, not only by those of his own party, but the opposition as well. His un- failing kindness, genial personality, and his insistence upon being ac- cessible to any and all callers have, in 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 that were startling. He abolished the practice of the marrying justices which were in effect making the office a second Gretna Green. Kings home, having formerly resided | in Chicago. HON. ROBERT M. SWEITZER Clerk of Cook County CANDIDATE FOR RE-ELECTION As Comptroller he refused to allow the loan sharks to prey upon the employees of the County. He insisted that the tax payers comply strictly with the rules of the office. He urged that a public official was servant of the people and should at all times be accessible, and he said that as long as he held office his doo« would be vpen to all callers, a resolution which he has faithfully kept, and any person in Cook County, no mat- ter what his station in life, can walk into this democratic man's office and get a respectful hearing, and judging by the number of people gathered in his office, day after day, it is plain indication that the people of our county are fully alive to the fact that they know where they have a friend who will lend a helping hand in their many troubles and perplexities. No question of politics enters here but rather the friendly greeting, '""How can I best serve you?"
