If, as the Republican asks, the Winamac Bridge Co., is in this bridge graft business, why should C. L. Bader suffer and not the entire company? The Republican might go further and ask, are not the commissdoners also guilty? To be charitable, are they not criminally negligent in their official capacity and untrue to the tax payers of Jasper county?
