Jasper County Democrat, Volume 15, Number 35, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 August 1912 — Like an Obituary. [ARTICLE]

Like an Obituary.

The official address issued to the country by the Republican convention reads more like an obituary notice than like a party platform, ’ and that. Indeed, is what the most intelligent citizens believe it to be. The platform reviews the life of the party, recalling its virtues and forgetting its sins, just as it is customary for most persons to do in commenting upon their deceased friends, and tn perusing It one can almost hear the sighs and the sobs of the men who penned the document. Aside from its evasion of emphatic declarations on important questions, it contains nothing.—San Antonio Express.
