Jasper County Democrat, Volume 5, Number 1, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 12 April 1902 — Page 4 Advertisements Column 2 [ADVERTISEMENT]

At the Democratic Connty Convention to-day let no mistake be made in the selection of candidates. There are plenty of good, honorable and responsible democrats in Jasper county who ought to esteem it an honor to be selected as candidates upon their party’s ticket, and we believe that they will do so. True, democrats are not as office hungry as our opponents. Take strictly reliable democratic counties and we never see the mad squabble for office that is found among our opponents in republican cotfnties, and we are glad it is so. But the bad condition of public affairs in this county should be righted, and hundreds of the better element in the dominant party stand ready and willing to assist the democrats in bringing about a a change, only insisting—as they have the right—that good, reliable men be nominated. Every man, be he democrat or republican, should also be interested in seeing that none but the best of men are placed in the field for office on their respective party tickets, and we insist that no mistake be made in the selection of candidates to-day. If a good, clean ticket is nominated, you may confidently look for good results therefrom in November,
