Evening Republican, Volume 18, Number 136, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 10 June 1914 — Jasper County's Candidate For State Representative. [ARTICLE]

Jasper County's Candidate For State Representative.

Mdnticello Herald. ’ Mr. W. L. Wood, of Parr, whose name has been mentioned as the probable choice of the republicans of -White and Jasper counties for representative, was here Tuesday making acquaintances and ascertaining the lay of the laud. He has been urged by his friends in Jasper county to make the race and has consented with the understanding that his Candidacy will not antagonize White county’s interests. He is a native of Ohio but has lived In Jasper county for 37 years and is a representative citizen of the district. He has been a successful fanner and stock raiser and is still a farm owner, though of late years he has been engaged in merchandising—since 1895 at Parr, and for five years before that at Aix, He is a well-read and well-to-do gentleman and capable of taking care of himself in a campaign. More than that he is the right kind of a man to represent this district in the legislature. The Herald is not aware of any opposition he will have from White county In the convention and will consider the republicans fortunate if they can fill up their tickets this campaign with as fit men as Mr. Wood.
