Jasper County Democrat, Volume 10, Number 11, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 15 June 1907 — HAVE BEEN CONSERVATIVE. [ARTICLE]

HAVE BEEN CONSERVATIVE.

The Republican papers of the state whioh take their cne from the Indianapolis Fairbanks organs or from the traveling agent! of the Fairbanks machine are in a froth. They say that the Democratic papers are “venomously” attaoking Mr. Fairbanks “as if he had already been nominated. ” Asa matter of fact, so far as we have seen, the Democratic press has been exceedingly lenient It is true that for the information of their readers they have told a part of the things that Republican and independent journals have printed about Fairbanks, but the fact that they have not told half of it shows that they have been more than conservative.

If there was a likelihood of a man like Fairbanks being elected president every good oitizen would fail in his duty if he did not do or say what he could to prevent his nomination. But unless the people of this country have changed he would not stand one chance in a thousand of being elected. By all means let the Republicans nominate him, but let them do it with their eyes open. Not only the Democrats, but most of the well-in-formed Republicans who are not under the influence of the Fairbanks organs and the Fairbanks machine know that Mr. Fairbanks is not the sortof a man who ought to be in the White House.
