Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 36, Number 81, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 June 1904 — A Good Chance for Guessing. [ARTICLE]

A Good Chance for Guessing.

The Republican Senatorial convention is to meet at Reynolds next Monday. «• This is about the only thing that is certain about it. Who the nomine* will be is as uncertain as a weather predicfon for the 4tb f*f July. Jasper and Newton coun. ties have each one avowed candidate Jesse Wilson of Rensselaer and Dr, McCain of Kentland. There were others in these counties, but we understand all have withdrawn except those above named. White County has three—Eben H. Wolcott, Geo. W. Kassabaum and Curtis D. Meeker. Dr, Cronk of Wolcott has also been mentioned. All these gentlemen are entitled to be considered upon their merits, and it would be manifestly improper for the Herald to attempt to discriminate as to their claims. W bite County will have 23 votes in the convention, Jasper 19 and Newton 15, making a chance for a very interesting convention and room for wide speculation as to the result,—Monticello Herald.
