Evening Republican, Volume 22, Number 1, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 1 January 1919 — IT IS SHERIFF WOODWORTH [ARTICLE]

IT IS SHERIFF WOODWORTH

ONLY ONE NEW FACE IN COURT '■ HOUSE AS RESULT OF LAST ELECTION. True D. Woodworth is now. sheriff of Jasper county. He and his wife moved in the jail residence Tuesday, December 81.— “ In times past it has been the custom to elect to the office of county sheriff men with very liberal views. In fact, during the years in which Jasper county was wet, that element always took a great interest in the -selection of the incumbent of the office of county sheriff, and being more interested in the attitude of the candidate toward the saloon business than in painty fealty, the party who nominated a pro-saloon man got their support and he was-generally elected. That element has long since been put out of business in this county and for many years candidates for sheriff have been of that high class of citizenship generally selected for other county offices. True D. Woodworth has all the qualifications necessary to make a splendid sheriff-and the recent standard of efficiency in this office is sure to be maintained. • The Republican, with Mr. and Mrs. Woodworth’s many, many friends, extend to them hearty congratulations and very best wishes.
