Jasper County Democrat, Volume 21, Number 83, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 15 January 1919 — BUT IS A REPUBLICAN ALSO [ARTICLE]

BUT IS A REPUBLICAN ALSO

Looie'a “Explanation” Only Makes It Look Still Worse. The Republican Bays that Charles W. Rhoades, who has three sons in the war, was a member of that committee appointed by the mayor to go down to Indianapolis to the welcome home celebration of the two Indiana regiments last Friday. Stjcange, then, that the Republican did not (publish Mr. Rhoades’ name (who is another Republican) with the other appointees. Perhaps he wa» made a member by inference after the committee reached Indianapolis and found he was already there. The Democrat has not one word to say against the patriotism of any of the members of this committee, but it does say that It seemingly would have been more appropriate to have made it non-partisan and to have appointed men who had sons in the service. And, indeed, we do not tnlnk all should have come from Rensselaer to represent the whole of Jasper county.
