VOTE FOR TRUE D. WOODWORTH

‘ The patriotism of True D. Woodworth, Republican candidate for Sheriff of Jasper county, has been called in question by an article appearing '■in the last issue of the Jasper County Democrat. For many years I have been a very close neighbor of Mr Woodworth. Our families are very intimate, and I can answer the questions proposed by the Democratic inquiry. On October 14, 1913, Mr. Woodworth was placed upon the retired list of the Indiana National Guards after a service of eleven years. His term of enlistment haying expired and on account of having had a severe attack of typhoid fever in September, 1913, he was unfit physically for re-enlistment. This was three years before the trouble with Mexico, which occurred iin July, 1916. He was not and had not 'been for three years a member |of the company which left here 1 for dutv at the border. On July 30, 1917, Mr. Woodworth was taken to the hospital and underwent an operation for a ruptured appendix. When Company M left here for the present war duty he was still in a very weak condition and was , taken to the train to see the boys off in an automobile. He afterwards investigated the matter of entering the war service but was informed >y his physician that ha was not physically fit. Possibly the strongest reason why Mr. Woodworth should not have enlisted has been the delicate condition of his wife, caused by the sad misfortune which came home when their only z child<-Delb®y-&-bright lovable lad of. eleven years of age, was drowned In the Iroquois river in this city, July 31,1915. Since that time Mrs. Woodworth has not had good health and is only now recovering from this dreadful shock.. I believe the attack against Mr. Woodworth to be unwarranted and I know that he has been zealously patriotic and has been anxious to discharge faithfully tris every duty, whether it be to country, community

or home.

If any of your stock dies be sure and promptly call A. L. Padgett Phone 65.

STAND BY THE GOVERNMENT.

Take up your Jasper County Democrat and read again the remarks made by McKinley, Roosevelt and other Republican leaders. They ask for the support of the government. Woodrow Wilson is the only President that has indicted one-half of the people of his country. He is the only President who has urged that only people of his own political faith |>e intrusted with the offices of United States Senotors and Representatives.

Wilson’s plea is partisan and not patriotic. It is an insult to all whether Democrats or Republicans.

Times have changed radically. Colleges and clubs have been established for the express purpose of determining just which baking method and baking materials are best.

They accept and endorse only such methods and baking processes as have beenfound superior through scientific measurement of merit. These decisions are givenwide publicity.
