Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 40, Number 102, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 1 September 1908 — The Fountain Park Crowd. [ARTICLE]

The Fountain Park Crowd.

The receipts at Fountain Park Thursday, democratic day, exceeded the receipts of Tuesday, republican day, by Just $95, according to officers of the association, from whom the Republican heard directly. So the attendance was exactly 380 greater than it was on Tuesday. And all of this with the great Kirby Risk Jackson Club special train, and the fact that they had the democratic candidate for vice-president on hand. And then there are always a number of republicans that turn out to help swell the crowd on a democratic day, while democrats are generally afraid to hear a republican speech for fear, ot being converted.
