Jasper County Democrat, Volume 19, Number 63, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 4 November 1916 — Mistake Also Made Here [ARTICLE]

Mistake Also Made Here

The Rensselaer Republican, after copying the above item from the Journal, made almost identically the same mistake on the ballots here and had to print them all over. The emblem. at the top of the Prohibition ticket was over the Socialist ticket, and vice versa. In the ballots as Anally printed there is an error in the middle initial of the Democratic candidate for county commissioner from the second district, it reading “Robert Y. Yeoman’’ instead of "Robert J. Yeoman.” This latter error, however, is not the mistake of the printer, but Is so certified on the certificate of nomination filed with the clerk by the county chairman and secretary. The name should have been Robert J. Yeoman, however. Please remember that the well known Robert J. Yeoman is the Yeoman whose name appears on the Democratic ticket as "Robert Y. Yeoman.”
