Niblack of Vincennes is the only candidate for governor in the primary, May 4th, who lives south of Indianapolis. Southern Indiana Democrats have not been represented in the governor’s chair since the days of “Blue Jeans” Williams. Hon. Thomas Taggart of Indianapolis is the unanimous choice of Indiana Democracy for United States senator. He has no opposition and will be the party nominee. Northern Indiana is asking the nomination for lieutenant-governor. With Mr. Niblack on the ticket for governor, the three sections of the state will be represented and the ticket will be well balanced. Care and forethought should be exercised so as not to “centralize” nominations all at Indianapolis. Think it over. Mr. Niblack was born and reared In Knox county, a membei of one of the most prominent Democratic families in the state. His father, Hon. William E. Niblack, represented the old First district in the United States congress for 16 years and was a member of the supreme court of Indiana for 12 years. He has two brothers, William C. Niblack, an eminent attorney of Chicago, and Rear Admiral Albert P. Niblack of the United States navy. Mason J. Niblack has served four terms in the Indiana legislature, twice as speaker of the house of representatives. He was the Democratic nominee for lieutenant-governor and the running mate of Mr. Adair in 1916. He served 22 years as a member of the state board of agriculture. 1 He was a member of the Vincennes city school board for 15 years. For the past 15 years he has been president of the Indiana State Bee Keepers’ association. Mr. Niblack lives on his farm and Is a professional and practical farmer. He has devoted his energies entirely to the farm industry for the past 12 years. He has first-hand, practical, scientific knowledge of the farmer’s problems. He has always been fair to labor. Farmer candidates for governor have always been winners with the people of Indiana. Mr. Niblack is an old-line Democrat —honest, unassuming and capable. He believes in the integrity of the people and in their ability to manage their own local affairs without dictation or interference from the governor’s office. He does not believe in the modern schemes of centralization of power and authority. Southern Indiana offers to the Democratic voters of the state her native son, Mason J. Niblack, in full knowledge that he measures up to Democratic standards and Democratic ideals as to qualifications and fitness for the chief executive officer of the state.
