Jasper County Democrat, Volume 8, Number 48, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 March 1906 — THE POLITCIAL OUTLOOK. [ARTICLE]

THE POLITCIAL OUTLOOK.

The prospects for the democrats of Indiana are very bright for electing the state ticket next fall, and the indications are that a good ticket can be obtained without drafting of men. James Cox, of Columbus, will not be permitted to land the nomination for Secretary of State without opposition, as Mayor George Durgan, of Lafayette, is almost sure to be a candidate. Mayor Ed Fogarty, of South Bend, may also ask for the nomination. John Isenbarger, of North Manchester, is a candidate for State Treasurer; R. K. Erwin, of Decatur, for Judge of the Supreme Court; Judge Saunderson, of Fowler, Wm. Darroch, of Kentland, and George Burson, of Winamac, for Appellate Court Judges; Charles A. Greathouse, of Mt. Vernon, for State Superintendent of Public Instruction. Others are being mentioned for places on the ticket, and there promises to be a fairly large field of candidates when the convention assembles. Judge Saunderson was a candidate for Appellate Judge four years ago, when the prospects were far from flattering for the success of the State ticket; he made a canvass and was nocessarilly to considerable expense’. If he desires the nomination again—and The Democrat understands he is not averse to receiving it—we believe that he is entitled to it without opposition. The Judge is a thorough democrat of long standing, is a very able and fearless jurist, and a gentleman who has a large following in this section of the state where he has lived jand practiced law for many years."
