Jasper County Democrat, Volume 15, Number 29, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 13 July 1912 — Senatorial and Representative Conventions at Monon Aug. 14. [ARTICLE]

Senatorial and Representative Conventions at Monon Aug. 14.

District' Chairman Charles Murphy of Brookston and County Chairman Brucker and a couple of other gentlemen from Monticello Renseslaer a short time Wednesday in consultation with Chairman Littlefield and other democrats here regarding dates for holding the congressional, senatorial and representative conventions. Mr. Murphy said it had been dewelded to hold the congressional convention at Lafayette early next ' month, but the precise date hgd not yet been fixed and would not be until he had conferred with the ’ various chairmen. Lafayette .is aoout the most convenient point to reach for the delegates from all over the district and, as the convention was held at Hammond two years ago it was thought only proper this time to give it to Lafayette. Besides, the Jackson Club of Lafayette want to provide a little entertainment for the visiting democrats at that time. The senatorial and represent at’ve conventions, it was practically decided, to hold at Monon on Wednesday, August 14, and the calls will be made soon. We are hooked up the same as in the last campaigns on these two offices, the senatorial district being composed of Jasper, Newton, Starke and White counties, and the representative district of Jasper and White. White county, we understand, has a candidate for senator, and as she furnished the candidate for representative laist time, Jasper will be expected to ante up this time. No doubt with this little tip, our slim-necked friend from the bullrushes of the Kankakee, Mr. Bowie, will hasten to throw his hat in the ring. But we want someone of a little heavier mental' calibre than Bowie, and someone we stand some I little show at least of electing.
