Jasper County Democrat, Volume 8, Number 46, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 17 February 1906 — Push for the Fairbanks' Boom. [ARTICLE]

Push for the Fairbanks' Boom.

Now let Indiana follow Ohio’s example and pass a 2-cent a mile passenger rate on railroads. Judge Nye, of the PulaskiStarke circuit court, has announced his'candidacy for the republican Domination for Appellate judge for this district. The republicans will bold their county convention on Monday, March 12. Al) the present county officers eligible to re-election will be caudidates for another term. J. D. Allman of Remington, will be a candidate for the nomination of county treasurer. Should Gov. Hauly call a specialfsession of the legislature 10 oust Secretary of State Storms and to enact a 2-cent-a-mile passenger rate on railroads, £as it is strongly inferred he will do, it is claimed that a special election will have to be held in this district to elect a successor to representative Jesse E. Wilson, who has resigned and moved to Washington. Many other districts are in the same boat, it is said.

The election to decide the question of improving the gap in the Range Line road through Jordan tp., will be held next Tuesday in Carpenter, Jordan and Marion townships. The Democrat believes this improvement ought to be made, and this plan, for the three townships to unite in making it, is the only solution that has thus far presented itself. We do not believe the people who have this expense to pay will ever regret having voted for the improvement, should it carry, which seems an assumed fact from what we have been able to learn of the sentiment of the people interested. Come out, anyway, next Tuesday and vote your sentiments.
