Evening Republican, Volume 14, Number 240, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 8 October 1910 — PLEDGES EASILY BROKEN. [ARTICLE]

PLEDGES EASILY BROKEN.

Democrats of Daviess County Break Compact With Men of Pike. In Daviess and Pike counties there is a joint district on state senator. Daviess has the power to name the nominee. Pike is helpless. The first senatorial nominations went to Daviess, with an agreement in both parties that Pike would get the next nominee on both sides. Daviess county Republicans gave Pike codnty Republicans the nominee this year without question. On the other hand, Daviess county Democrats violated the agreement, used their power, and treated the Pike county Democrats with utter contempt. The Washington Herald discusses the difference between the two parties as illustrated by the pledge keeping by Republicans against pledge breaking by Democrats. The contrast Is marked and the situation is typical.
