Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 40, Number 58, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 24 March 1908 — Judicial Convention at Roselawn. [ARTICLE]

Judicial Convention at Roselawn.

Judge Hanley, candidate for renomination for the office of circuit judge of the Jasper-Newton Circuit, and sevseveral of the Jasper eburity delegates took the milk train here this Monday morning for Roselawm, where the convention meets at 1:30 o’clock. There was tf> be no contest for the nomination for judge and Judge Hanley, who has given such splendid satisfaction since he was elected six years ago,will go in again and without opposition. There was to be somewhat of a contest on the prosecuting attorney nomination, and there were three announced candidates, viz., John Greve, of this county, Herman Rodgers, of Morocco,and Fred-Longwell, of Brook, and it was quite probable that Ray Cummings, of Kentland, would also be a candidate. From what could be gathered here the nomination was tolerably certain to go to Longwell, who is at present the principal of the Brook schools and according to all reports a most worthy and well qualified young man. The nomination was quite certain to go to Newton county, as the judgeship came to this county, and Newton county some time ago served notice on this county that they would take care of the prosecutor nomination. And John Greve was probably entered with the intention of being on hand for the place in the event that Newton county delegates could not determine on which man they wanted.
