Jasper County Democrat, Volume 8, Number 28, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 14 October 1905 — NO “PATRIOTS" IN EVIDENCE. [ARTICLE]

NO “PATRIOTS" IN EVIDENCE.

Here is an unheard of condition of affairs, especially in Rensselaer, where every republican over the age of twenty-one years usually wants an office: The city election is only three weeks from next Tuesday, and yet not a word has been said about candidates. No patriots hasve announced themselves willing to serve their country for the salary provided—and the perquisites. Nothing is said about an election, although those elected Nov. 7 will serve for four long years. Surely the millenium is about to come.
