In the event that Hon. John B. . Petergon will not accept the democratic rumination for congress from this disu'-ict again this year, Mayor George R., Durgan is being spoken of as a promising candidate. We are told, however, that Mr. Peterson assured some of the Jasper county delegates, to the state convention, who interviewed him and urged his again accepting the nomiantion, that he would accept same if the people thought he was the strongest candidate that could be named, and that he, would go out and make a

strong fight for election. We believe either Mr. Peterson or Mayor Durghn would be acceptable to the democrats of Jasper county, but in view of the splendid race made by Mr. Peterson two years ago against tremendous odds, they feel that the outlook for success this time is brighter and they would like to see him trim Edgar Dean Crum* packer to a finish. , Hen. John B. Peterson, who made such a gallant and creditable fight for the people against (’rujnp. two years ago has ‘stated that he will not be a candidate again this year, but that he favors .Mayor George It. Durgan for the place. Probably ‘he people of t.he district are enough arou < T over the perfidy and doub tdealing of the corporation? serving Crump, put aiiiri tp his <>fticial career. And if M;y> or . Durgan was choseii in his place the people would have a real live representative in congress after their inteiCoi.-, instead of serving the trusts. Crump. has been safely anchored no v for-nearly a quarter of a ceil-; •i"y behind a mountainous republican majority ami because of that majority he could serve the trusts with impunity and > defy the people with impudence.—Tippecanoe County Democrat.
