Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 35, Number 16, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 24 October 1902 — All Hanley Opposition Vanishes. [ARTICLE]

All Hanley Opposition Vanishes.

What little was left of the Republican opposition to C. W. Hanley in Newton county, whiou had already diminished to a pretty small quantity, baa vanished this Week like mist before the noonday sun. The scandalous and outrageous attempt to keep Mr. Hanley’s name off the ballot in Newton county by appointing Wm, Cummings election commissioner, was pretty nearly the death blow of the opposition; and what little life was then left in it was ended by the action of the Newton county central committee in officially endorsing Mr. Hanley as the party candidate. As a result of this action of the committee the Kentland Enterprise will this week place the' names of Hanley and Sink in its columns as the Republican candidates for their respective offices. Heretofore The Enterprise has declined to do so, claiming that it was following the lead of the committee in refusing to recognize their nominations.
