Jasper County Democrat, Volume 18, Number 34, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 28 July 1915 — Prefers Being Called a “Knocker” Rather Than a “Sucker." [ARTICLE]

Prefers Being Called a “Knocker” Rather Than a “Sucker."

A prominent business man of Rensselaer, one of those who has been against the proposition or' voting a subsidy to the so-called Lafayette & Northwestern Railroad, because he considered that the road would not “be worth to Rensselaer the amount asked, were it constructed, and because he had no confidence in the ability of the promoters to construct the road, said to The Democrat Monday that it didn’t hurt him in the least to be called a ••knocker'’ by the bunch here who always “fall for every gold brick scheme that comes along; that he would rarher be called a “knocker" than a “sucker’’ any time.
