Jasper County Democrat, Volume 13, Number 44, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 10 September 1910 — FILL OUT TICKET. [ARTICLE]

FILL OUT TICKET.

Democratic County Committee Met Thursday and Filled Vacancies. The democratic county central committee met Thursday on call of ; County Chairman Littlefield and filled the vacancies on the county ticket. At the county convention no one could be found to make the race for either treasurer or surveyor, and it was later found that Mr. Vandercar of Kankakee tp., was not eligible for county assessor, the law requiring that such candidate must have been a freeholder for four years prior to the election. The committee placed Carey L. Carr of Newton tp.—and there is no-better man in Jasper county —on the ticket for treasurer; Charles U. Garriott of Parr, an old school teacher and exceptionally well qualified for the place, for assessor, and DeVere Yeoman of Marion, a graduate surveyor and a former Purdue student in civil and mechanical engineering, on as surveyor.

Mr. Yeoman is the young man employed by Judge Hanley to go out with the county surveyor and examine the bridges put up by the Winamac Bridge Co., before passing sentence on C. L. Bader, the general manager of that company, last winter for graft in the Milroy tp., bridge matter, which is familiar to our readers. His findings then were later confirmed by Prof. Smith of Purdue which resulted in several more indictments being returned against Mr. Bader. This young man is thoroughly competent to draw bridge plans and make an expert examination of after they are erected, for which purpose, the county is now —since the Bader conviction, apparently to make it as expensive on the taxpayers as possible —paying out considerable money, something like SI,OOO having been appropriated by the county council already for this puqfbse.
