Jasper County Democrat, Volume 7, Number 4, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 30 April 1904 — JORDAN TOWNSHIP TICKET. [ARTICLE]

JORDAN TOWNSHIP TICKET.

Numerous hair-breadth escapes from being caught in the McCoy bauk failure are now being |ieard from, while the wise ones who abandoned the sinking ship and took their deposits with them are growing “chesty” over their wisdom. The Democrat would call attention to the supplement contained in this issue regarding the candidacy of W. R. Hearst for the presdency. The paper is edited by Helen M. Gougar, of Lafayette, an able and ardent champion of the cause of the masses. ReaJers who desire to know more of Mr. Hearst should read this supplement.

The republican judicial convention will be held at Brook next Wednesday. There are five candidates for prosecuting attorney— Jasper Guy, of Remington; Roy Blue, of Wheatfield; R. R. Cummings, of Eentland; R. O. Graves, of Morocco, and John D. Sink, the present incumbent, of Roselawn.

J. J. Fry, late banker at Roselawn, is a candidate for state senator from this senatorial district, subject to the will of the senatorial convention.

Fifty years ago, we are told, Thomas McCoy, the father of Alfred McCoy of this city, was an apparently prosperous banker of New Lisbon, Ohio. His business, however was not as prosperous as it appeared, we nre told and a few years later the bank went busted and hundreds of people lost the savings of a life time. This bit of history is interesting at this time in view of the failure of the A. McCoy & Co. bank here last week, and which a great many people supposed was one of the most prosperous banking institutions in Indiana. The old saying, that all is not gold that glitters, iB again proven true.

The democrats of Jordan township nominated Chas. E. Sage for trustee and Benjamin Welsh for assesso* at their convention last Saturday. Both are good men and will carry more than their party strength in the township. For delegates to the county convention, Jay Lamson, J. W. Hitchings, John Reed, W. D. Bringle, Benj. Welsh, Henry Timmons, Jacob Dewey and Joseph Nissius were selected. Alternates —Chris. Nafziger, Chas. Gorman, Thomas Reed, Francis M. Welsh, Lewis Welsh, Charles Harris, William Iliff and George Timmons.
