Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 20, Number 12, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 14 October 1898 — Hi There! Mr. Major. [ARTICLE]

Hi There! Mr. Major.

Now here is a great how to do, about Mr, John F. Major, of Remington, Cleveland’s postmaster at that town and now the Democratic candidate for county clerk. Now they do say that Mr. Majcr is slipping around, button-holing such Republicans as he thinks are easy marks, and especially in Carpenter and Jordan Tps. and pouring into their ears a tale about the court house. How wrong it was to build a new court house just yet, and all that sert bf stuff, yet all the while there reposes a document in the office of the county auditor, bearing his official filing marks, showing that it was filed January 10th, 1896. That paper show that a poll had been made of the voters of Carpenter township asking each one to express his views on the advisability of building a new’ court house, and among the small but select list of those who were in favor of a new court house appears the name of John F. Major. Well! Well! Well!
