Jasper County Democrat, Volume 13, Number 60, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 November 1910 — INDIANA’S OPPORTUNITY. [ARTICLE]

INDIANA’S OPPORTUNITY.

Illinois had her Boutell, who served eastern tariff barons on the ways and means committee that devised the Aldrich-Taft tariff. The services of Boutell to the trusts were rebuked by repudiation at the hands of his party in his own district. In Edgar Dean Crumpacker, congressman for the Tenth district, Indiana has her Boutell, and her opportunity to punish him for betraying the people he had sworn to represent faithfully in congress. Crumpacker, like Boutell, was a member of the odious committee that framed the Aldrich-Payne tariff. Lik Boutell, his voice and his vote were always at the service of tariff barons and always against the people. The voters of the Tenth district are incensed at Crumpacker’s cold-blooded betrayal of them, and determined to punish him. Fortunately, Mr. Peterson, - ’ democratic candidate opposing him, is a man of high standing, sober, thoroughly respected in the district, and : of proved integrity and ability as a public official. The Tenth Indiana will do herself credit, and follow up ! the good work of the Ninth : Illinois, if she consigns Crumpacker, the Boutell of : Indiana, to the political lim- 1 bo which every public offi- ' cial who betrays the people : deserves.
