Jasper County Democrat, Volume 14, Number 99, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 23 March 1912 — A Big Holler Going Up. [ARTICLE]

A Big Holler Going Up.

Many republicans are condemning the action of their brethren in permitting Rensselaer to gobble up ail the county offices, and say that their local ticket is doomed to defeat for that reason if for nothing else. It is not' Marion tp. that has or wants practically all the offices, understand, but Rensselaer, which already has the auditor, clerk, surveyor and coroner, and now wants the sheriff and recorder, leaving to the thirteen townships only the treasurer, county assessor and two commissioners. This is eating the apple and giving other republicans of the county the core with a vengeance, and it is not to be wondered that a big holler is going up all over the county.
