COUNTY IS WELL ORGANIZED

REPUBLICAN CHAIRMEN HAVE FORCES WELL ORGANIZED AS ELECTION NEARS. That Republican County Chairmen Moses Leopold, of this city, and Mrs. Frank Howard, of Remington, representing the women voters, have thetir_ forces well organized as election day nears is evidenced by the interest manifested throughout the county, the interest reaching to the remotest corners of every township. Rare indeed is that day which passes without a rally in some part of the county these days proclaiming Republicanism as the desire of the great majority. The enthusiasm of Republicans knows no bounds and it is safe to predict that the landslide to the G. O. P. this year will be the greatest in history, surpassing even that of 1904 when the late Theodore < Roosevelt defeated Alton B. Parker, the democratic nominee, by an overwhelming majority. The drift to the Republican standard throughput the forty-eight states of the nation has . been so steady and great within- the past few weeks that it has cast consternation .into the ranks of the democratic party. Never were the spirits of the democrats at a lower ebb, and their attempt to make a fight of it is pitiful Indeed. . For Wednesday evening, October 6, Chairman Leopold 'has provided the voters with « real treat in the way of Congressman Will R. Wood of the tenth Indiana congressional district who will make an address at the Princess theatre. Mr, Wood has 'a message of vital Importance and one which, should be heard by every man and s woman of voting age in Jasper county. Mr. Wood’s experience as a member of Congress has placed him in a position to know whereof he speaks, and there can be no doubt but that a packed house will greet him when ne steps onto the stage at the Princess theatre at eight o’clock Wednesday evening to deliver his message of Republicanism. On October 42 Congressman Wood will again pay the county a visit, having been > secured to address the voters at a Republican meeting and basket dinner to be held at the Gillam church in Gillam township on that date. Preparations are going forward repidly to make it a day long remembered, and the meeting is expected to be the largest of its -kind ever held in that township. It is the earnest desire of the residents of Gillam that as many of the republicans of the county as can find its convenient to do so be in attendance. . ,Mr. Wood’s final appearance in the county before the election will occur on Thursday, September 21, when he visits DeMotte to make the Repulfi °Many interesting events have been curded for the day, including a flag raising dpremony, basket' dinner and the presentation of an American flag to the township sending the largest delegation. Several other speakers i naddition to Mr. Wood have been secured for afternoon and meeting bids fair to be one. of the best of the present campaign. * ■ "" " ■■■ __b a ■
