Jasper County Democrat, Volume 13, Number 60, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 November 1910 — Page 4

Scan the democratic countyticket from top to bottom and see if you could pick a better set of men in the county. The ticket deserves your support and the support of every taxpayer in the county who has the best interests of the county at heart.

To vote a straght ticket, remember, yotr make an X in the circle surrounding the' emblem at the head of the ticket you wish to vote, and make no marks any place else; to vote a mixed ticket do not make an X in the circle at the .head of the ticket but make an X in the small square at the left of each candidate’s name for whom you desire to vote. Mark your ballot in no other way whatever except this.

The voter this year will vote three tickets, the state, county and township. The state ballot printed on pink paper, the county ballot on white paper, and the township ballot on yellow paper. The amendment, regulating the qualifications for the admission of members to the bar, which has failed a couple of times for want of a majority of the votes cast in favor thereof, will be voted on again this election, but instead of a separate ballot as heretofore, it will be placed at bottom state ballot, and to vote on the proposition one must make an X at the left of the words For or Against, as he wishes, in addition to the regular marking of his ballot.

JUST A MOMENT, MR. REPUBLICAN.

We are informed that the local republican candidates and speakers to considerable extent, as usual, have been devoting most of their attention in the out-town-ships to denouncing “Babcock w and “The Jasper County Democrat.” Now just why they should do this you can form your own opinion. "Babcock” never stole a penny from Jasper county nor you nor no one else ever saw a line in The Democrat inimical to holiest government or good morals. It has stood like a bulwark against all kinds of graft, and of course has been bitterly denounced for it. But by whom? Honest now, haven’t you found "Babcock” was generally right? Had it not been for “Babcock” and The Democrat would you ever have heard anything about the bridge steals that had been going on here for years? Bab" cock didn’t bring the prosecution nor manufacture tire evidence that proved beyond a shadow of doubt that you and your democratic brother taxpayer were being robbed. A republican prosecutor, who refused to be choked off by Hie gang, conducted the inquiry which resulted in one conviction and opened the eyes of the taxpayers as to what had been go

ing on. "Babcock" said the charges of graft should be investigated. They were and their truth proved beyond a shadow of doubt*. Did “Babcock" do right, er should he have taken the position of your political organ and pooh-poohed the charges and abused the prosecutor for nosing into the matter? One of the highest republican officials in Jasper county said the tig-fires in that Milroy tp.,"bridge bid had been raised from $1,246 to $1,400 before “Babcock ' had ever seen the bid. He had examined it, as had others, and is of the same opinion now that he was when he first saw those figures under a glass, that it had

been raised. Prosecutor I ongwdl and all others who saw the bid are of the sante opinion, notwithstanding your county attorney and five other lawyers fought for more than a half a day to keep the jury from seeing thQ bid, and finally tied the lone prosecutor up by technical objections so that he could proceed no further, and the jury never got a glimpse of the paper. Prof. Smith, head of the engineeringpdepartment of Purdue University, and not “Babcock,” measured the bridges and showed how you had been swindled as well as the democratic taxpayer. “Babcock” and the Jasper County Democrat has always stood foi the people, and none of our traducers can point to a single deviation from this policy. You know it. They know it. That is why they denounce both. Don’t let them work on your political prejudges that they may continue to work ypu in other ways. Go to the polls next Tuesday morning and exercise your right as a free born and honest American citizen, who cannot be driv en or bossed, and cast your ballot as your better judgment tells you you should cast it—for a “new deal” in Jasper county.

Madrid, Nov. 4. —That a bribery, fund of many million dollars' has been raised to buy up army officers ard betray the monarchial government into the hands of the republicans, has just become known. Members of noble families who have been estranged from King Alfonso by their dislike for his English queen have contributed liberally to this fund. The plot has been betrayed to Premier Canalejas, and several army officers who have accepted money were secretly arrested. Men who at former times have been high in the councils of the government are fleeing from Spain, but the premier has learned that the conspiracy was widespread, and instructed Gen. Weyler to take any action that he might deem necessary to stamp out sedition. Secor Santos, who was arrested on the charge that he offered a bribe to the commandant at Badajoz, is kept in close confinement. An effort will be made to force him to confess all details and names of leaders in plot. “There has been a conspiracy formed to overthrow the kingdom,” said Premier Canalejas, “but we have nipped it in the bud, and now 7 all we have to do is to catch the plotters. The army is loyal, ard with Gen. Weyler in command there will be no difficulty in blocking another attempt to establish a republic.” Gen. Weyler, “The Butcher of Cuba,” is in command of the district about Barcelona. This is looked upon as the hotbed of unrest and Gen. Weyler has been stationed there as the man most likely to strike terror into the ranks of the insurrectionists. A general strike soon will go into effect at Saragossa. This is considered a revolutionary plan. A strike already exists at Sabadell and rioting is going forward there constantly. A number of persons have been injured. Troops have been sent to both towns.
