Jasper County Democrat, Volume 13, Number 67, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 30 November 1910 — STRONG IN DEFEAT. [ARTICLE]

STRONG IN DEFEAT.

For a man who met defeat, Hon. John B. Peterson comes as near being entitled to congratulations as any man in this section of the country. He not only has the satisfaction of knowing that he ran ahead of his ticket .in nearly every locality add reduced his opponent’s majority over 4,000, but in addition he is placed in a position by the turn of of the political game, where a seat in congress will be his almost for the asking in two years. His party can hardly fail in giving him the nomination if he wants it, and with t-he democrats in absolute power in the legislature it will be strange f they do not gerrymander the district .so that it will be safely democratic. Mr. Peterson is what one might term a lucky loser.—Crown Point Register. (Rep.)
