Jasper County Democrat, Volume 5, Number 13, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 July 1902 — THE TOWNSHIP TICKET. [ARTICLE]

THE TOWNSHIP TICKET.

Democrats of Marion Township Nominstea Number One Ticket. Pursuant to call of Township Chairman Glazebrook, a mass convention was held at the east court room Tuesday afternoon. Lee E. Glazebrook was made permanent chairman and F. E. Babcock, secretary. The following most excellent ticket was nominated, all by acclamation: For Justices of the Peace, SAMUEL O. DUVALL, J. C. NORMAN, AMIEL C. HARMON, For Constables. JOSEPH PUTTS. WILLARD F. SHIELDS, NEWT. C. PUMPHREY. For Advisory Board, GEORGE P. KETCHUM, GEORGE H. MAINES, ANDREW KAHLER. For Road Supervisors. THOMAS A. CROCKETT. JAMES DONNELLY.' JOSEPH NAGEL The above is composed of Marion township’s and Rensselaer’s best and most respected citizens. The members of the advisory board are all from the country and are prominent, intelligent and influential farmers who each have good farms and are interested in good, economical township government. For Justices of the Peace, Messrs. Duvall, Harmon and Norman, would make ideal officers. The former is one of Rensselaer’s earliest settlers and a man of clear, calm judgment who would fill the office with dignity and fairness. Mr. Harmon moved here from Illinois a few years ago and is a man equally well fitted for the position. Mr. Norman is another old resident of the township and served several years as Justice of the Peace in Barklej- tp., therefore his experience in this office particularly fits him to again fill the position with honor to himself and credit to his constituency. The candidates for constable are all well known citizens, well qualified to serve the people of the township in a faithful and conscientious manner. The office of road supervisor is one that requires good, able men to fill properly; men of good judgment and energy. In the selection of Messrs. Crockett, Donnelly and Nagel we believe every man who knows them will admit that no letter choice could have been made. This ticket deserves to be elected entire, and while the democrats are largely in the minority in this township, we hope to see many of the opposing party who favor the nomination of good, clean, competent men for the local offices encourage us iu placing such tickets in the field by assisting in giving them a good vote. We may not elect a man on the ticket, yet they are deserving of election and we believe that many good men on the opposite side of the political fence will feel it their duty and privilege as good citizens, interested in good local govern vote for them on election day.
