Jasper County Democrat, Volume 13, Number 48, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 24 September 1910 — THE CAMPAIGN OPENING [ARTICLE]

THE CAMPAIGN OPENING

It is announced that the Democratic campaign in this state will be formally opened by Governor Marshall in ,a speech at Indianapolis on Monday Oct. 3. On the Saturday proceeding that date John \V. Kern will speak at Evansville and Senator Shively at Laporte. From that time on until election day. November 8, the contest will be waged continuously. There has been already. however, much firing on the picket lines, and this will go on till the pickets and advance guards are swallowed up in the grand sweep of “the line of battle. , rThe Democratic party is compact and aggressive. And what -is more, it is everlastingly -right <fcn all the great questions of the day. Its delegation in congress has stood solidly for the interests of the people. Governor Marshall lias administered the affairs of the state in such a splendid manner as to win commendation from good citizens of all parties. On all hands the party has shown itself clean and capable and to be thoroughly abreast of the best spirits of the day. The people are awake to their interests and they naturally look to the Democratic party for the doing of those things-which need to be done. No hope lies in any other direction. The Republican party is wholly disrupted and discredited. Nothing will give such emphasis to the.protest against the misgovernment of the Republican party as complete and decisive Democratic victory thrcuout the state. So, therefore, when the campaign is opened it will be opened in earnest.
