Evening Republican, Volume 20, Number 224, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 18 September 1916 — JIM. [ARTICLE]

JIM.

Jim Goodrich Is the people’s friend; Not just In name to serve an end, Nor yet in clothes of sloppy style, Nor handshake fierce, nor fawning smile, Nor flattering words of noisy din, But through and through—ouV side and in, You are. Eh, Jim? No star is Goodrich at “stage play,” No “spell-binder” to charm his way To public favor. That will do When the real man does not ring true. Jim Goodrich has no dark “aside,” He Is “all wool and a yard wide.” He Is—Our Jim. He’s not from here and not from there; Jim Goodrich halls from everywhere In Indiana. Far and near His name is known and is held dear. In north and south, in east and west, Each county claims It knows him best, Don’t we? Say, Jim! We’ll show you on election day, When all the people have their say; Our voters shall then speak out ojur plan— '■ Our ballots shout: “Thou art the man! v ; -■ We’ll make you Captain, sure as Fate, To guide our Hoosier ship of state, Governor Jim! —Mrs. S. E. Boys in Plymouth Republican.
