Jasper County Democrat, Volume 12, Number 59, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 6 November 1909 — WHOLLY FALSE, AS USUAL. [ARTICLE]

WHOLLY FALSE, AS USUAL.

The charge made by the Republican that J. C. Carmichael only recently embraced K the democratic faith, and then only to get an office, is entirely unfounded. Mr- Carmichael has been unable to subscribe to republican doctrines as laid down by this presenf leaders of that party for pome time, and last fall supported the democratic ticket entire. He did not seek the democratic nomination for councilman-at-large nor any other office, but when the democratic convention nominated him he accepted and made a very good race indeed, considering the big majority the party of graft and greed have in Rensselaer. He changed from republican to democrat through principle only, but perhaps as much could not be said of one of the candidates on the republican ticket.

The democratic latch-string is out at all times for as good men as John Carmichael and Henry Grow, and it has no insults to offer to office-hungry democrats who forsake the grand old party of Jefferson, Tilden, Hendricks and Bryan for the loaves and fishes of the party of graft and corruption.
