Jasper County Democrat, Volume 11, Number 35, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 October 1908 — CERTAINLY, CERTAINLY. [ARTICLE]

CERTAINLY, CERTAINLY.

"The Anti-Saloon League Roasts Tom Marshall,” is the heading on a column article in a 4-page supplement sent out by the republican state committee to its party papers to be folded in with the regular issue and thus beat the postofflce department out of the postage it would have cost to Bend these “supplements” out as they should be sent. Certainly the "Anti-Saloon” (?) league roasts Tom Marshall and everything else that the democratic party stands for. The republican state machine seems to have bought up the anti-saloon league body and breeches, and a part of the consideration Is that everything democratic must be roasted to a finish.

But Tom Marshall’s reputation will stand all the thrusts this republican ally can throw at him, while Ship-Subsidy Jim Watson, of whose candidacy for the nomination Gov. Hanly is alleged to have written personal letters to the temperance men who were delegates to the state convention, “Whatever you do, don’t support Jim Watson for governor; the brewery Interests of the state and the saloonkeepers of Indianapolis are leaving no stone unturned to secure his nomination,” will need the assistance of all the wet nurses he can get to keep his record from the voters of Indiana in this campaign. And then he’ll lose. ;
