Jasper County Democrat, Volume 17, Number 59, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 31 October 1914 — Page 4

THE JASPER COUNTY DEMOCRAT F.E. BABCOCK, EDITOR AND PUBLISHER.

A Few Closing Words to the Voters of Jasper County. Vote for William Darroch for circuit judge. "Don’t forget that Patrick Hayes Jnade a good record in the last legislature and is entitled to your vote for re-election. Remember Arthur Tuteur for prosecutor when you vote next Tuesday. T. F. Maloney will make an ideal county clerk. You will not regret it if you cast a vote for him.

Remember that Lester A. Sayers is one of the best qualified men that ever ran for auditor in Jasper county. Vote for him next Tuesday. W. I, Hoover has made a good sheriff and will make a good treasurer. Make a cross in the square -at .the left of his name when you vast your county ballot. John G. Culp is one of the best men who was ever nominated for sheriff in l Jasper county. Do as scores of others of opposite politics -are going to do - vote for Mr. Culp Cor sheriff.

Remember that L. A. Bostwick, he democratic candidate for county surveyor, is a practical surveyor and a competent civil engineer in every way-one of the best qualified men that ever ran for this office in Jasper county.

You will make 6 no mistake by marking your ballot for Frank W. Fisher and James A. Washburn for county commissioners. Both are good '•■lean men, successful in conducting ■ heir own business affairs, and men 'who will consider public office a public trust.

Boss Murphy, democratic chairman of the tenth congressional district, was opposed for re-election as chairman by practically every democratic. paper in the district and by all the anti-machine, far-seeing democrats, because, for one reason, that .tie had been appointed as a member of the public service commission and drew a salary of $6,000 per year, SSOO per month, and his time and -services belonged to the state rather than to any political party. But he 'was forced- and forced himself dn the democrats despite the wishes of 95 per cent of the party, and for the past two months. almost continuously, the business of the office for which he draws a large salary, has been neglected while Murphy has been working at polities. This should nos be, with any party, and The Democrat does not think it is any less ’loyal to democratic ideas and principles by condemning such action. In fact, it is only by frowning upon such things as this that, strengthens a party. If they are condoned it w’ould not be long until the democrats would find themselves in the same condition the republican party was in two years ago.

Here’s what Sherman really did say about war: “1 confess without shame that 1 am tired and sick of war: its glory is all moonshine. Even success the most brilliant is over dead and mangled bodies, the anguish and lamentations of distant families, appealing to me for missing sons, husbands and fathers. It is only those who have not. heard a shot nor heard the shrieks, and groans of the. wounded and lacerated, that cry aloud for more blood, more vengeance, more desolation. War is hell." Big Fort Wayne Rink Burns. Fort Wayne.—Five firemen were Injured in a fire that destroyed the Princess rink. Fort Wayne’s largest meeting place. All will recover. One of them, Joseph Gilleron, will probably be a cripple for life, however, as the result of his Injuries. The firemen were injured when a beam fell on them unexpectedly when they were fighting the fire from one corner of the building’s The fire was caused by defective wiring in the rear of the building and the huge wooden structure was destroyed in 15 minuses. Several homes nearby Were damaged by the flames. The total loss is $25,000. Woman Thrown From Buggy. Bloomington.—Mrs. Preston Sare, sixty-four years old, was injured seriously when a horse she was driving ran away. She was thrown out of the vehicle and struck on her head, suffering a severe scalp wound. The woman was rendered insensible for some time. She was taken home. Mrs. Grace Davis of Indianapolis, who was in the buggy with Mrs. Sare, was uninjured. Laporte Pastor Resigns. Laporte.—The First Christian church oT this city voted a call to Rev. O. S.Berry of Buffalo, N. Y., to fill the pastorate vacated by the resignation of Rev. W. M. Baker, who has accepted a call at Newcastle.
