HE’S NOW A REPUBLICAN

Son of a Former Prominent Democrat Citizen of Pulaski County. Winamac Republican: Lee Randall of Logansport, son of Richard Randall, a former and well-known resident of Winamac, was up from Logansport a few days last week to visit with his mother, who has been quite sick. Mr. Randall stopped in the Republican office for a short chat before returning to his work at Logansport Monday. “I am a Republican now,” said Mr. Randall, “I was brought up a Democrat, and believed that way for a while, but the prosperity, the opportunities to get work and make money are all so apparent under Republican times, I have changed. I have to work for my living. I see the Republican party helps me, and I believe in voting for my own interests." Mr. Randall's frank statement will, voice the sentiment of many other young men, wh< have learned by experience that It’s easier to get ahead in prosperous times than during an era of low prices and cheap labor.
