It is seldom that a public official,
who has reason to believe that the
people would elect him to succeed
himself, refuses to stand for re­
election. Especially is this true
when the office is one of the best
paying positions which is at the dis­
posal of the county.
County Clerk Willard L. Marks
announced, last week, that he would
retire from his present office at the
expiration of his term. He makes
this statement, evidently, so that he
will be out of consideration with
Qthers who may aspire to the posi­
tion.
Mr. Marks has held down a chair
in the, clerk’s office for eight years,
including the remainder of his term,
four years as deputy under Wm.
Miller, and four years as principal.
That his service has been most satis­
factory «to the people is evidenced
by the fact that he was the nominee
of both republican and democratic
parties on both occasions when he
stood for election. This can be said
of no other clerk in the history of
Linn county. That he has been
efficient and obliging goes without
saying; for the people would gladly
retain him in his present position.
But as he is master of his own
action, the peonle will have to look
elsewhere, knowing that they cannot
find his superior and it is doubtful
if they find his equal.
However, the people are not satis­
fied to have Mr. Marks retire to
private life. Though the county
clerk is purely ministerial in its re­
quirements, he has proven in every
\yay possible that he is alert to the
interest of the people and that he
possesses ability much above most
men. For this reason the Tribune
and, probably, a large majoritv of
the people of Linn county . would
like to see Mr. Marks made the re­
publican candidate of Linn j county
for 'the state senate.
have
reason to believe that he would ac­
cept the nomination and that his
election would be a surety. We
also believe that he would stand
true to the people’s interests and
that he would render service first,
