OUR COUNTY CANDIDATES

A Brief Write-Up of the Democratic Ticket In Jasper County

Less than one week remains before the voters of Indiana will go to the polls and cast their ballot for a United States senator, state, district, county and township officers, and The Democrat desires to say a word about our local democratic candidates at this time. We have not the space to give an extended mention of each or to follow each indi-

vidual candidate in the various townships, therefore will confine our remarks chiefly to the county ticket, which appears on another page of this issue of The Democrat in the form of a sample ballot, the names being arranged precisely as they will appear on the official county ballot. JOINT-REPRESENTATIVE Oapt. Patrick Hayes pf Idaville, White county, has sent us a cut of himself, and as he is good looking, well preserved and intelligent old civil war veteran, we gladly give the

HON. PATRICK HAYES Democratic Candidate for Joint-Rep-resentative of Jasper and White Counties.

space lor his picture, that our readers who have never had the pleasure of meeting ( apt. Hayes in person may see what sort of a looking gentleman he is.

( apt. Hayes is our candidate for re-election as joint-representative of Jasper and White counties. He servin the last legislature and was on the right side of all important questions that came up before the lower house of that body. He is a man of intelligence, splendid business ability, and his judgment is much sought alter by his neighbors and friends. He served one or more terms as county commissioner of White county and made one of the best commissioners that county ever had. You may rest assured that Mr. Hayes will do his utmost, if re-elected, to look after the interests of his constituents, and you will make no mistake by helping to re-elect him. CIRCUIT JUDGE For judge of the Jasper-Newton circuit, William Darroch of Rentland, needs no introduction to the

older residents of Jasper county. Practically all of Mr. Darroch’s life has been spent in Newton county, where he stands very highly and he is the oldest and best known practicing attorney in the circuit. He has been engaged in many cases tried in our own county and is conceded to be a well read, able and conscientious lawyer and a man of very pleasing -personality. He made the race for judge twelve years ago and carried Newton county by a ( good majority, despite the heavy republican odds against him, and no greater compliment could be paid him by the people of his own county, who have known and respected him all his life, than this. This year conditions are much different, and The Democrat predicts that Mr. Darroch will be elected by a handsome plurality, and that thte 30th judicial circuit w ill have a democrat for judge for once in its history at least,

PROSECUTING ATTORNEY For prosecuting attorney we have C. A. Tuteur of Rensselaer, a young man who graduated In law a few years ago and was our candidate for the same office and carried Jasper county by a majority of 101, b,eing defeated only by the vote of Newton county, which 'his opponent, Fred Longwell, of Brook, carried by a slightly heavier majority. Mr. Tuteur was born and raised in Jasper county, and the handsome vote he received here two years ago shows what the voters here think of him. CLERK OF THE CIRCUIT COURT Now, as to our county ticket proper, we have for clerk of the circuit court, Thomas F. Maloney of Kankakee tp. Mr. Maloney is an old school teacher and a former trustee of his township, where he gave the best of satisfaction, lie Is a man of pleasing personality, straight as a string, a fine penman and a man in every way qualified to fill this office wT U complete satisfaction to everyone, making a careful, efficient and painstaking official. All who know Tom” Maloney will agree with us that too much cannot be said in his praise. He is a man who was successful as a teacher, township official and farmer—in ,which latter occupation he has been engaged for several years —and you will never regret hav ing cast your vote on Nevember 3d for him.

COUNTY AUDITOR Next on the county ticket is the name of Lester A. Sayers of Wheatfield, our candidate for county auditor. Mr. Sayers also is an old school teacher, which occupation he has followed for several years. He is a man who has never been actively engaged in politics heretofore, but has sure made an excellent impression on the voters he has met during this campaign. No better qualified man ever ran for the office of auditor of Jasper county than Lester A.

Sayers, and he will not only (receive the united support of his own party but the votes of many from the opposing parties who recognize his sterling qualities, his pleasing and gentlemanly bearing and his general fitness for this office. COUNTY TREASURER For county treasurer we have William I. Hoover, one of the best known men in Jasper county. Mr. Hoover has served two 2-year terms as coun-1 ty sheriff and made so popular an officer that his friends presented his name before the county convention for treasurer, and he was nominated by a good majority. He was elected sheriff two' years ago by a plurality iof 59 7. His opponents will tell you ! that he ought not b|d elected treasurer because he has had two terms as sheriff. But remember that the sheriff’s office is for but —same as the treasurer—and that the auditor, clerk, recorder, etc., are four year terms, without any especial reason, and they think all these 4-year officials are entitled to another term—if he happens to be a republican. Also, that his republican opponent has already served—or will on Jan. i next —six years in office as trustee of Carpenter tp., and that Mr. Hoover, if elected, will not take charge of the treasurer’s of-

Gee until Jan. 1, 1916, while his term as sheriff ends Jan. 1 next. Don't let this “argument” influence you to vote against Mr. Hoover next Tuesday. COUNTY SHERIFF Next we have John G. Culp ot Barkley tp., for county sheriff. Mr. Culp is one of the strongest men we have on our ticket—intelligent, clean, honest in every particular—a man who will conduct the business of the office with credit to himself and to Jasper county. No one ever heard John G. Culp say an ill word of anyone, and while he has never before took much of a part in politics, the Culps are all old, well known and highly respected citizens of Jasper county. John was born and raised in Barkley tp., and there are no better men in the county than he. He will receive the votes of scores of men from the opposing parties and should receive every vote of his own party on November 3d. COUNTY CORONER For coroner we have Dr. A. P. lainier of Remington. The coroner’s office in Jasper county is not a very renumerative one, yet we should have such officer, and Dr. Rainier is such a gentleman in every way qualified to fill the office with honor and dignity. He is a man well thought 6f in Remington and vicinity where he is best known, he having been a practicing physician of that place
