Mr. Welsh is also chairman of the' Democratic county central committee, but the reader will please note that seven members of this committee are Republicans and ALT,, we believe, had sons in the service, in the late unpleasantness, and several are still in the service. Two or more of the committee also bad two sons in the service and two have sons in this particular unit, we believe. Please contrast the location and make-up of this committee with tfeat of Mayor Spitler’<> ALL Republican, AT J, from Rensselaer committee appointed recently to represent JASPER COUNTY in a similar “welcome home” of an Indiana unit some weeks ago. Only rtwiff -member of that entire committee had a son in the service, and meet of the members were absohutely childless —but every man Jack of the committee was a Republican. The date of this welcome home day cannot be definittly announced at this time, as it is not known just when the boys will foe sent to Indianapolis after their disembarkation yesterday or today.
