WHAT INDIANA DEMOCRATIC EDITORS ARE SATING NOWADAYS
BOSS RULE MUST CEASE. (Crawford County Democrat.) The manly and courageous fight that is being made by Congressman John W. Boehne, of the First congressional district, against the Crawford FairbanksrTaggart machine is bearing fruit over the state and indications are by the time the state convention is held on March 21st the sentiment for the nomination of Mr. Boehne for Governor of Indiana will be practically unanimous. Mr. Boehne in his letter issued a few weeks ago declan lng against boss rule in the Democratic party in Indiana had the proper ring to it and stamped him as a man of convictions who is not afraid to tackle wrongdoing in high places. Tom Taggart and Crawford Fairbanks must and will not control the great Democratic party in Indiana. The people are going to rule. If we expect to win this fall in the state we must have a ticket named by the rank and file of the people and not by the bosses who are in politics for selfish purposes. Congressman Boehne stands for the masses of the people and always has. If he is nominated he will be the people’s candidate and will wear the collar of no boss.
