IN DEFENSE OF CONGRESSMAN f PETERSON. Fair Oaks, Ind., Oct. 31, 1914. * Rensselaer Republican, Rensselaer, Ind. Gentlemen: We note in the Friday issue of the Jasper County Democrat an eleventh hour attack on our congressman, John B. Peterson, by The Jasper County Democrat and ask you as a favor to print the following: Mr.'Peterson is a member of the judiciary committee, and helped# to prepare the Clayton Anti-Trust Legislation. Voted for an income tax which will make w.ealth pay its just proportion of government expenses. Voted for banking and currency law which will make bunks safe and prevent panics. Voted for better pensions for soldiers and their widows. Voted for the illiteracy test in the immigration bill Voted for the Lever Agrcultural Extension bill. Voted for the bill giving government aid to good roads. Has furnished his constituents With government literature, and answered promptly every letter written him. ; In our committee of twenty-two members, twenty-one of them are enthusiastic for Jbhn'B. Peterson.* The rank and file of our party stand solid for his return. Congress has been in session until a week ago. 'We have tried our best to get him; he has tried his best to favor us but a man cannot be at his post of duty in Washington and at the sarnie time be delivering speeches in Indiana. John B. Petarson has the solid support of his party in Jasper county; also much support' from admiring independent voters and will be returned by good, substantial majorities. FELIX R. ERWIN. Chairman Jasper County Democratic Central Committee. —Adv. ' ■ ;

Takes Final Fling at Congressional Candidate.

Still hatboring resentment because of his defeat for the local pofittoffice Editor Babcock takes a final fling this week at Congressman Peterson, democratic candidate for re-election to congress, and ait Charles, J. Murphy, democratic district chairman and member of the public service commission. The Democrat says: “Now, so far as we have been able to learn from our exchanges over the district, Mr. Peterson has not spoke in either Jasper, Newton, Tippecanoe, Warren or White counties in this campaign. He has spoken in Lake and Porter. Why this is so we are not prepared to say, but the fact is that he is receiving lukewarm support all over the district, and no one knows this better than the state committee, which has sent two U. S. senators and Gov. Ralston into the district to help him out during the last week—Shively here Tuesday, Kern at GOry Wednesday, Valparaiso Thursday and last night at Lafayette, and Ralston at Monticello

Thursday—and also sent Bryan here but recently, and it has been currently asserted and never denied to our knowledge, that Peterson did not support Bryan in his campaigns, too. “No one is to blame for this condition except Mr. Peterson- himself, who forced an obnoxious district chairman on the democrats, who alligned himseffif with the machine politicians rather than the democrats who east the votes, and who has stood for measures in congress that are particularly obnoxious to who believe in the cardinal principles of the democratic party—especially is this true pf his action on retaining the 20 cents per mile mileage graft, when all the other Indiana congressmen voted to abolish it,, and his efforts in behalf Of retiring government employes on a pension.' Also, his ignoring of precedent of both democrats and republicans, of permitting postmasters to serve out the terms of their commissions, but ousting them to put hungry officeseekers in their pllace, has been condemned, as the Republican once said, by the decent democrats everywhere. Mr. Peterson has shoWn himself less of a statesman than a spoilsman, arid if the democrats are not very enthusiastic over his re-election it is his own faullt.

“(Bos) Murphy, democratic chairman of the tenth congressional district, was opposed for re-election as chairman by practically every democratic paper in the district and by all the anti-machine, farseeing democrats* because, for one reasbn, that he Hard been appointed as a niember m the public service Commission arid drew a salary of $6,000 per year SSOO per month, and his time and services belonged to the state rather than to any political party. But he’was forced —and to need himself on the democrats despite the wfehes of 95 per cent of the party, and for the past two months, almost Continuously, the business of the office tor which he draws a laige salary, has been neglected While Murphy has been working at polities. This should not be with any party and The Dentoerat does not think it is ,any Iras loyal to democratic ideas and principles by condemning such action. In fact, it is only by Downing upon suoh things as this that strengthens a party. If they are condoned it would not be long until the democrats Would And themselves in the same condition the republican party Was In two years ago.”

Professional Notice. I have returned from n recuperation trip following my hospital treatment and am now entirely well and ready to resume my medical practice. DR T, H. HEMPHILL.

Wood, and a large number of the for county office and a number of others went to Kniman Friday night and held a big meeting for the republican cause. It w*as One" Of the most enthusiastic meetings of the campaign and there were more than could crowd ijito the school house and they overflowed to the outside. The chief speeches were made by Messrs. Halleck, Foltz and Wood, who were full of republican spirit and brought much applause from the audience. They declared the Underwood tariff a detriment to the interests of the former and laboring man and urged that the national candidates of the republican party be elected in order that a protective tariff may again be accepted. They told of the extravagance in the management of the affairs of the state and the S, <;ckless expenditures of boss ridden democracy. The meeting lasted until almost 11 o’clock and there was genuine reluctance when it broke up. Tonight a big meeting will be held at MdOoysbuTg. Attorneys Williams and Dunlap are to speak and it is probable that many will go out from town. Monday night the meeting will be held at Fair Oaks and Attorney Leopold is to speak.
