DEMOCRATIC POLITICAL NOTES Of Interest to the Voters if Jasper County.

Our County Ticket.

The November election is but six days away. No doubt most of the readers of The Democrat have made up their minds how they will vote, especially on the state and national tickets, and it is not of these that we desire to speak, in these lines. We do wish, however,- to say briefly a few words regarding the Democratic county ticket, which is headed by John B. Peterson of Crown Point for Congress. Mr. Peterson is quite well known to the people of the Tenth district, having made a thorough campaign two years ago for the same i office and was only defeated by 2,000 votes in a district normally republican by about 6,000. He is a man of high character and stands well bosh as a citizen and lawyer in Lake and Porter counties, where he is best known. That he will be elected this year is almost a foregone conclusion, but he needs jour vote and deserves It. Remember his name heads the ticket on the county ballot, and If you make your X within the circle containing the rooster you are voting for both Mr. Peterson and the entire democratic ticket. Following Mr. Peterson comes the name of Chester A. McCormick of North Judson for state senator for the district composed of Jasper. Newton? Starke and White counties. Mr. McCormick is a good clean young man and is worthy of your cordial support. The opposition can say nothing but good of Mr. McCormick, so he indeed must be a pretty decent sort of fellow.

Then comes the name of Pattick Hayes of White cofmty for join*representative. Mr. Hayes is at pres-1 ent a member of White county's board of commissioners, and an intelligent and honorable gentleman, well worthy of the support of every taxpayer in Jasper county. If elect* ed you can bank on Mr. Hayes making good. the name of Arthur Tuteur for prosecuting atCarney for the counties of Jasper and New'ton. Mr. Tuteur is a native ofj Rensselaer and his whole life ha.s 1 been spent here. He is a graduate of' Ann Arbor and, ’.hough young in < years, has had considerable exj>erience in the courts and is well quali-j fied for the office he seeks. He will receive“a big vote in his home county, and if Newton does any- 1 where near as well by him he will' be elected by a Safe majority. ■h . • I The above constitutes the district' candidates whose names appear on the democratic county ticket, and then follows our county ticket proper, with Edward P. Lane, of Newton tp., for treasurer; Stephen D. Clark, of Wheatfield tp., for recorder; William I. Hoover of Marion tp., for (Sheriff; Devere Yeoman of Marion tp.. for surveyor; Dr A. P Rainier of Remington for Coroner; and Chas. F. Suckhouse of Marion tp., and Albert H. Dickinson of Carpenter tp., for commissioners.

Each and every one of the above named men are quite well and very favorably known to the people of Jaaper counter. Mr. Lane is town-! ship trustee of Newton tp. Mr. Stackhouse and Mr. Hoover have each ; served served two years in the res- : pective offices for which they are '< ■ for re-election, and have made good. Mr. Clark has served three terms as trustee of Wheatfield tp.» where he made good every time. | He is an old school teacher, a pleasant and affable gentleman and' thoroughly 1 competent to fill the of-! flee he seeks. Devere Yeoman is,' without question the most compe- 1 tent civil engineer in Jasper county and should be elected by all means. Dr. Rainier has been located in Remington for several years in the practice of medicine and stands high . in his profession and also as a neighbor and friend. Mr. Dickinson is aj well informed farmer. He is located well for county commissioner for the third district and knows the duties of the office and the needs of the county in general. Mr. Dickinson will make a good, pains-taking, economical commissioner. The names of all the above gentlemen appear on the county ballot in the first column, under the emblem of that party, the rooster. The county ballot is printed on white i»per, and Will contain six tickets, the democratic ticket being in the first column. The balllot, containing the

names of the presidential electors and the candidates for the state offices is printed on pink paper. The democratic ticket is in the first column on this ballot also, and appears under the circle surrounding the rooster.
