Jasper County Democrat, Volume 18, Number 15, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 29 May 1915 — Well, There Were 76 of Us “Worse Than Rattlesnakes" Fellows. [ARTICLE]

Well, There Were 76 of Us “Worse Than Rattlesnakes" Fellows.

The Rensselaer Republican is kindly referred to the subsidy election returns from our township, which shows that there was a majority of 19 whom it designates as ‘ too bad to put into the rattlesnake, or the hyena, or the scorpion, or the skunk,” and we 76 taxpayers and law-abiding citizens are proud to be classed as “knockers” by that sheet, although it is not pleasing to be abused for standing up. for one’s rights. Personal abuse, however, is the Republican’s stock in trade, and abuse from such a source is more to be desired than praise.—One of the Seventy-six.
