Jasper County Democrat, Volume 12, Number 57, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 30 October 1909 — A DISTINCTION AND A DIFFERENCE. [ARTICLE]

A DISTINCTION AND A DIFFERENCE.

While the Democrat speaks critically of the young men on the republican ticket, it speaks with pride of the “young” men nominated on the democratic ticket, and uses the term "another young man” in reference to its own ticket as tWough that were the only virtue required. In one issue that paper runs down the republican ticket because of the “young” men on it. The democratic idea seems to be whatever they do is all right and whatever the other fellow does is all wrong.— Republican. The “young men” on the democratic ticket are not candidates for councilmen, where they would have full charge of the management and conduct of the city affairs, but in purely clerical positions—clerk and treasurer. The democrats recognized the younger element of their party by placing Mr- Littlefield and Mr. Duvall on the ticket for the above positions, and either one is as old or older than either of four of the five candidates for councilmanic honors on the republican ticket. The democratic ticket is not loaded down with boys, but men of mature years and experience make up the ticket where experience is a valuable asset. A comparison of the two tickets can not help but convince any fair minded citizen of the fact that the democratic ticket is a strong one.
