SAYS MR. BOEHNE WOULD STRENGTH! THE TICKET

Democratic Chairman *of Gibson Courtty Gives His Reasons for Favoring Evansville Man’s Nomination. S. L. Vandeveer, Democratic county cflairman of Gibson county, commenting on the fact that his county elected a solid delegation of eighteen members to vote for John W. Boehne for the nomination for Governor at the Democratic state convention, said: “We know Mr. Boehne 1 ' down our way, and we know that he is the right man for Governor. He would add strength to the ticket all over the state. Our county had always been normally Republican by about 300. Two years ago Mr. Boehne, as a candidate for congress, overcame this majority and carried the county by 387. He had a larger majority in Gihson county than any of the Democratic county candidates except one. So, while we believe that Mr. Boehne is the ideal candidate for Governor, we feel also that he adds great strength to the county ticket, and those who expect to get on the* county ticket in our county this year are anxious to have him nominated for Governor to get the benefit of hfs drawing power. Same All Over- State. “What is true in Gibson county would be true all over the state. Mr. Boehne would be a tower of strength to the county ticket in every county in the state, and if the prospective candidates on county tickets know what is for their own good they will help to nominate Mr. Boehne for Governor."
