if he is ’sinuating anything about “Teddy.” Well,-we’re glad it didn’t snow next day. When the democrats lose • out it usually snows next day. and it’s awful enough anyway. We’ve been out in a large number of snowstorms, ourself, t and know how to feel for the other fellow. And your uncle John W. Kern will now come into his own. John lias been the “goat” for a long while. We are glad he is at last to get what is coming to him. And there will be few abler or more honest men in the senate than Mr. Kern. John B. Peterson made a splendid race against overwhelming odds. He would .have made an excellent congressman, and we’re sorry that he could not have been elected. Jasper county certainly did well for him, he losing out here by only 97 plurality. Of course W. J. Hoover worked harder than any man on the Democratic ticket, but his opponent can lay his defeat more than anything else to Abe Halleck and Geo. Williams making a monkey of him in the Bader case, seems to be the general opinion. All the defeated democratic local candidates made excellent races, running way ahead of their ticket, and while it is to be regretted that enough stay-at-homes didn’t turn out to land them on the winning side, they have no cause to feel bad over the showing made. Due credit to those honest, republicans who voted with the democrat? for a “new deal” in Jasper county. They will never have cause to regret their action if The Democrat can help it. A fair and square deal to each and every taxpayer is The Democrat's motto, and we believe that is precisely what they will get from the democrats elected here last Tuesday. The causes assigned by our local friends. the enemy, for the fearful lambasting given them at the polls in Tuesday’s elections are varied. Some of them say it was the Pavne-Aldrich tariff $ others the high cost of living because of the prevailing trust prices for the necessaries of fife; others a case of too much Roosevelt in Xew York: too much Beveridge in Indiana: and too much Halleck in Jasper county. The next Legislature will relistrict the state for congressional and legislative purpose, and the apportionment must stand for ten years. The Tenth congressional district as at present composed, reaching from the Wabash river on the .south to Lake Michigan on the north. 140 miles 'ong. will be relegated to the -.crap-pile, and Crumpacker is •irobably serving his last term : n congress, in fact lie is not like--’y to ever be nominated again. ' Mr. Fell’s vote in Carpenter township speaks well for the regard in which he is held by the >eople who have long known him. His opponent. Carey L. Carr, is one of the best men in fasper county, but he didn't want the office, was practically forced to allow his name to go on the ticket, and made no campaign whatever. His name, however, added strength to the excellent ticket put out by the demicrats. and if it did this it is glory enough for Mr. Carr. Now is the time to subscribe for the Democrat.
