Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 36, Number 100, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 9 August 1904 — Will Vote for Roosevelt. [ARTICLE]

Will Vote for Roosevelt.

Congressman Charles B. Landis calls the attention of a Tribune reporter to a political change that occurred in Burlington towniship, Carrdll county, a few days ago that occasioned more comment, if possible, there than did the flop of W. S. Armstrong here. The gentleman who left the Democratic party and came out for Roo'sevelf is John T. Johnson, one of the most substantial and bestknown men in the eastern part of Carroll county, and mor many years one of the mainstays of Democracy in that section. He will not support Parker because he believes him to be under the control of the Eastern money power. Wthen the Republicans of Burlington township held their convention a few days ago, Mr. Johnson attended and at the proper time took the floor, explained his presence in the convention, announced his purpose as to the future and asked to be received into the party and permitted to have a voice in the selecting of its nominees. It is needless to say that he was taken into full fellowship at once. —Kokomo Tribune.
