Jasper County Democrat, Volume 16, Number 98, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 11 March 1914 — Will Be Nominated by Acclamation. [ARTICLE]

Will Be Nominated by Acclamation.

John B. Peterson will be renominated at Hammond by acclamation. There was really no excuse Tor setting this convention at so impossible a place and hour. The convention should have been held at a central, more convenient point and at a day and hour which would accomodate the most people. In the lesson of cause and effect there was no cause for trickery in fixing this convention and as for effect we can only bide our time and see. Mr. Peterson has made a good congressman but he has trusted too much to advisers who were really not working to bis interest. He has been deceived as so conditions and while he has never had anything to fear from the loyel democracy of Tippecanoe county he has allowed his lieutenants to pursue reprehensible tactics which independent voters do not like. The democrats, however, will do their best to overcome these blunders and will give Congressman Peterson hearty and loyal support.—Tippecanoe County Democrat. »
