Jasper County Democrat, Volume 2, Number 52, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 7 April 1900 — Jordan’s Township Convention. [ARTICLE]

Jordan’s Township Convention.

The democrats of Jordan tp. met last Saturday and nominated a full township ticket. John Bill of the west side, for trustee, Thomas Ward of the east side for assessor, Jay Lamson, Charles Harris and Lewis Lane for members of the advisory board and John Bicknell, Sr., justice. For road supervisors: District No. 1, Maurice Gorman; No. 2, Lewis Simonin; No. 3, Johnathan Michaels; No. 4, Chas Sigman. The greatest harmony prevailed and the convention was the largest and most enthusiastic ever held in the township, ninety votes being cast. An informal ballot for trustee resulted in F. E. Duvall, John BUI, Frank Welsh, Thomas Ward, Geo. Brown and perhaps one or two others being presented. Spine drew off and after several ballots the choice fell on Mr. Bill. The very best of feeling prevailed throughout, and the entire ticket is made up of good, clean men on whom the opposition to republican arrogance and mismanagement can unite.
