Why Not a County Ticket?

In speaking of the question of putting out of a county ticket by the Progressive party In White county, the Democrat, of Monticello, makes a few remarks that are appllcabel to Jasper and all 1 other counties. It says: “The question that seems to have the most weight among some of the local politicians is that of a county ticket, and all the old line republican bosses are opposing the proposition with all the eloquence and persuasiveness at their command; but it now seems probable that a county ticket will be named. The Progressives assert, and with reason, that they cannot with good grace asks former democrats to join in with them in perpetuating the local republican machine by electing the republican county ticket; and if they did so and suceeded in electing it the local party bosses would continue in control, and in two years from now the work of dislodging them would have to be done all over again.”
