Evening Republican, Volume 23, Number 74, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 25 March 1920 — LESLEY MILLER IS A CANDIDATE [ARTICLE]

LESLEY MILLER IS A CANDIDATE

MOROCCO EDITOR WILL MAKE RACE FOR JOINT REPRESENTATIVE. In this issue of the Republican will be found the announcement of Lesley Miller, editor of the Morocco Courier, as a candidate for the Republican nomination as joint representative in the Indiana General Assembly from the district composed of Jasper, Newton and Benton counties. The Hon. W. L. Wood, who. has ably represented this district for the past six years has declined to be a candidate and it is possible that Jasper county will not have a candidate. If that is true then Newton county is justly entitled to the support of the Republicans of Jasper county. For many years Judge C. W. Hanley, of Jasper county, has held Übe position as Judge of the circuit composed of Jasper and Newton counties and as stated above Jasper has been the home of the representative from this district for the six years just past. Under these conditions it would be fair and right that some man from Newton county should be nominated to succeed Representative Wood. Undoubtedly one of the five splendid Jasper county Republican candidates will be nominated and elected judge from this district to succeed Judge Hanley, who has declined to be a candidate for reelection. Editor Miller is a young man splendidly equipped to represent the people of .these three counties in the general assembly. He is efficient, wide awake and has a large acquaintance in the three counties which will enable him to give the people the very ’best service possible.
