Rock F. Wilson, R. Republican; Democrat; People's; Citizens. Democrats gained an additional vote on the Stephenson county board of supervisors yesterday giving that party a balance of power margin of 18 to 8. Prior to Tuesday's vote the board advantage also rested with the Democrats by a 17 to 9 majority.

This is based on the fact that In most instances officials 1 elected on the people's tickets vote with the Democrats while Citizens' ticket officers vote with the Republicans. Party lines do not always figure-In this manner with the board, but in most cases In the past this has been true. Hence the Democrats should have no difficulty in electing a chairman when the new board meets for re-organization, which may be Tuesday, April 23. It is the duty of the county -i clerk to call this meeting. R.

W. Moore, Democrat, Oneco, who has served as chairman of the board for two terms, has indicated he will not seek re-election to the chairmanship.
