Jasper County Democrat, Volume 11, Number 43, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 31 October 1908 — UNFIT FOR OFFICE [ARTICLE]

UNFIT FOR OFFICE

The office of State Superintendent of Public Instruction during the administration of Fassett A. Cotton, the superintendent, and Lawrence McTur-

nan, his deputy and present Republican candidate for the office, has been made an adjunct of the Republican party and has used, with Cotton's consent and active assistance, by the discredited Republican State machine. Not only has Cotton attempted to get the teachers In the schools to work for the Republican party, but his deputy, McTurnan, has sent broadcast among the teachers a silly charge that the election of Thos. R. Marshall “would seriously cripple the school system of Indiana.” Surely this man McTurnan is wholly unfit for the place he seeks.
