Rensselaer Republican, Volume 22, Number 23, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 6 February 1890 — Township Elections. [ARTICLE]
Township Elections.
Editor Republican: The best citizens improve each opportunity of having a “free vote and a fair count.” Our committee has announced an easy, fair and convenient way to organize our party and make our township tickets according to the free choice of a majority. This call appeals to each of us to yield our presence and judgment to one of the 114 conferences called for 7 p. m. Friday, March 28, 1890. The subject matter of these meetings is of Ahe greatest importance. The township officers nominated March 29,1890, and elected April 7,1890, will control taxation, administer justice, keep the peace, minister to the poor, care for our schools,roads, bridges, ditches and elections for four years. This method appeals directly to each Republican to perform an equal, direct personal duty at the appointed hour. No one should be recorded as absent. Home and fireside politics will become the rule if a proper response genets this invitation.
