Jasper County Democrat, Volume 17, Number 50, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 26 September 1914 — Democratic State Candidates Visit Rensselaer. [ARTICLE]

Democratic State Candidates Visit Rensselaer.

Dale J. Crittenberger, democratic candidate for auditor of state; Homer L. Cook, candidate for secretary of state; George A. Bittler, candidate for treasurer of state, and J. Fred France, candidate for clerk of the supreme court, were in Rensselaer Tuesday afternoon with “Boss” Murphy, district chairman, in the latter’s big touring car, to talk with democrats here and learn the democratic prospects in Jasper county. They were on a tour of the Tenth district, and had come here from Monticello, going from here to Hammond the same afternoon. Monday they had visited Benton and Newton counties. So far as known there is no democratic opposition to any of these candidates here except some little against Cook, who was speaker of the lower house of the last legislature and, justly or unjustly, we do not pretend to say which, is blamed for some of the hills that got through of a questionable character. He will lose some democratic votes in Jasper county without a doubt.
