Jasper County Democrat, Volume 12, Number 93, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 March 1910 — CONVENTION MONDAY. [ARTICLE]

CONVENTION MONDAY.

Republicans Will Nominate Their County Ticket Then. The republicans will hold their precinct primaries to-day, and the delegates so selected will meet in Rensselaer Monday to nominate a county ticket. At this time it would appear that all the old officers eligible to a re-election will, be nominated, except Commissioner Fred Waymire, who is not a candidate. Robert S. Drake of Hanging Gfove is the only announced candidate to succeed Mr. Waymire. J. P. Hammond of Rensselaer and A. A. Fell of Carpenter tp., for auditor and treasurer, respectively, have no announced opjfbsition. \ There are three candidates for clerk, Jesse Nichols andj. H. Perkins of Marion, and Harvey Dexter of Union, and it is difficult for us to say which one will be able to knock the persimon.
