Jasper County Democrat, Volume 15, Number 25, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 29 June 1912 — Fourteen Years at the Helm of The Democrat. [ARTICLE]

Fourteen Years at the Helm of The Democrat.

This issue Democrat closes the fourteenth year under its present management. Really it doesn’t seem that long since the old republican machine in Jasper county gave us but six months to starve out and vamoose. And we’re here yet, and from the two hundred circulation of The Democrat when we first grasped its helm, it has grown more than twelve fold, proving the truth of that old adage that “man (in this case the r. fit.) proposes and God deppses.”
