Jasper County Democrat, Volume 19, Number 18, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 31 May 1916 — COMMITTEE TO FILL TICKET [ARTICLE]

COMMITTEE TO FILL TICKET

John Culp and W. D. Bringle Withdraw From County Ticket. John G. Culp and W. D. Bringle, Democratic nominees for sheriff and recorder, respectively, have tendered their written resignation to the county central committee, and Chairman Welsh has called the committee to meet on Wednesday, June 7, to act on the resignations and fill out the county ticket caused thereby. At the time of filing petitions for nominations it was necessary that the ticket be filled before the primary, otherwise the committee would not be authorized to fill the vacancies, and there being a dearth of candidates it was agreed with some of those who permitted their names to go on the primary ballot they might later withdraw if they so desired, which accounts for the withdrawal of Messrs. Culp and Bringle' It is possible that there will be one more withdrawal under the same circumstances, and if so the vacancy will also be filled at the same time as those above mentioned.
