Jasper County Democrat, Volume 15, Number 64, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 13 November 1912 — An Empty Boast. [ARTICLE]

An Empty Boast.

During the campaign Mr, Crumpacker w r as going over the district asserting that his opponent was a corporation lawyer, and boasting that he intended to “smoke Mr. Peterson out.” While he was “smoking Peterson* out” the people were doing a little smoking on their own account and his empty boast went up in smoke. Mr. Peterson was elected and the democrats now have all the thirteen congressmen from Indiana. —White County Democrat.
