Jasper County Democrat, Volume 9, Number 13, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 30 June 1906 — G. E. HERSHMAN FOR PROSECUTOR [ARTICLE]

G. E. HERSHMAN FOR PROSECUTOR

Popular Yount Rensselaer Attorney Nominated at Qoodland Tuesday. The judicial convention for the Thirtieth Judicial circuit was held at Goodland Tuesday, immediately after the Democratic county convention. Newton county had no candidate for the nomination, but seconded the nomination by Jasper of Mr. Geo. E. Hershman of this city, who was nominated by acclamation. Mr. Hershman, in a few well chosen remarks, thanked the convention for the honor bestowed upon him and assured them that if elected he would carry out the provisions of the statute to the best of his ability and try and do his full duty as such officer. George is a most excellent young man and is a rising young attorney of the Jaßper county bar who has already had considerable experience in criminal praotice. He is of unimpeachable character and stands very highly in this county. Of course the majority against him is very large, but should the voters of Newton and Jasper elect him to this office they will make no mistake; there is no cleaner man or attorney in either of the two counties than George E. Hershman. He is already well known in this county and will endeavor during the campaign to get acquainted with the voters of all parts of Newton.
