Newton County Friend Describes “Booster” and “Knocker.”

A friend in Newton township, who is a progressive man and who remembers when wagons in the streets of Rensselaer sank hub deep in the mud, and who has helped to promote roads and ditches in his home township and has viewed with pleasure the improved conditions in Rensselaer, sent The Republican the article entitled : “The Knocker and Booster,” as published in this paper. He suggested that it was very apprporiate in describing the attitude of those who are opposing the interurban subsidy and those who are favoring it and might serve as a looking glass for The democrat’s new correspondent in Newton' township.
