Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 40, Number 47, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 18 February 1908 — Candidate For Representative. [ARTICLE]

Candidate For Representative.

John G. Brown, of Monon, is a candidate for representative for the joint district of White and Jasper counties, and his announcement appears in this issue of the Republican. Mr. Brown is well known in Rensselaer and has many friends here. He is an honest farmer, and is on the right side of most questions that have come up In White county. He has been identified for years with the movement to free Monon and White county of saloons, and he has been right in the thickest of the fight He is a student of drainage laws, and living right in a neighborhood of such a vast lot of drainage schemes he has some ideas of his own about ditch laws, and if there is anything that the counties in this section of Indiana need it is ditch laws that are fair ana square and that are prepared by or with the approval of men who live where the improvements are being made and who know something about what is required. Of course, the representative nomination is going to go to some one in White county, and White will probably settle the question as to who gets it, but if John G. Brown does get it, there will be nq mistake made. With Attorney A. Halleck, of Jasper, as the senatorial nominee, these counties will have a man especially qualified as a student of ditch laws and ditch requirements, and there will be no mistake if this team is given the nominations they are seeking.
