ten years. unless said bosses given
county organization.
The Chronicle follows: "Wm. G. Hendricks
was elected chairman by the Republican
mittee, Saturday by vote of Is to over L. Hess"
After making this that the election
of Mr. Hendricks outrage the Republicans of Marshall
county and disgrace the notwithstanding
that L. Hess, his opponent made motion declare VIM
e. Hendricks the unanimous choice of Republican
mee of Marshall county and the motion was carried with
out dissenting VOTE that Mr. Hendricks
of every member of the committee in attendance
The Chronicle makes great fuss because the
of Green and Walnut township the conven-
ton when member of the committee from either township
and the only Republican present Walnut
township said he had been authorized by member
Walnut township committee to Plymouth and cast
the vote of the township There Republican present
from Green township the Chronicle says outrage
that A. H. Stevenson, who committeeman from
either township allowed of the
townships.
All this is dshed up its readers after
been made by Mr. Boys that the committee had unanimously
decided that only members of the committee
The Chronicle says cried when he got
back Argos but guess Mr. Boys the Chronicle which
ever you please mistaken 1t Postmaster Pcker
cried The Chronicle would be much concerned about
the of Mr.. Stevenson
The Chronicle says the committee probably right in
deciding that Union township allow precinct to
elect its committeeman, but the county committee
had right Samuel Medbourn J. F. Gan as COM
mitteman from that township
The credentials gave it as their opinion that
Mr. Garn and Mr. Medbourn had by repec
tive precincts should recognized committeeman from
Union township
When the report of the committee read motion
made to adopt it Chairman McCrory called remarks
Mr. Behmer and Mr. yesterday present neither
of them offered any objection the adoption of the report
neither did Postmaster Wseman any of Chronicle
Of the county anybody else say word opposition
to the report and the county have today any
stronger legal claims their positions than Messrs Med
bourn and Garn
Notwithstanding all these facts the Chronicle declares
that the officers chosen by the committee Saturday. January
13 should not be recognized
During the past four years the Tribune has Loyalty sup
ported the county committee although its officers chosen
for the purpose of doing this paper ali the harm they
could
Neither before after the organization of
mittees word said by about the deputabe
used elect who would give Tribune
it, Had the bosses of those committees seconded the efforts
of the Tribune four years ago county
candidates wherever they could believe that of the
county Republican candidates would have been elected
We hope we shall not have tell what know about
the methods of the bosses during the past years and the
combination they made with Walter Brown because the Trb
had criticised his rule ruin methods in calling
tons and directing the work of committees thwat the will
of the people and establish boss rule in every county of the
Thirteenth district Every in Indiana in
dorses the course of the Tribune at that time.
The Chronicle has been a Republican paper. 1t
has simply been the organ of Walter Brown and the bosses
he Marshall county before he the pen
tentiary and Mr. Boys will that these dis
rupt the Republican party of Marshall county.
If Mr.. Boys had been born and educated in Marshall
county he would know that previous years
bnation made by faction of Republicans place
certain the head of the county committee parcel
the Offices select BOSSES Previous that time
chosen because they believed in the of
Republican principles and these Plymouth thor
oughy situation and selected officers of the
committee the choice of few BOSSES but whom they
believed would truly represent the party
Even when Mr. Skunk chosen chairman six years ago
against the advice of every member of the committee from
Center township he received but only members
of the committee present being allowed to VOTE and only 2l
votes being cast
1t not until two years ago that man from Walnut
township another from German third from Union and
Center township bosses presumed the votes
for half dozen townships in Marshall county
Boss rule abolished in Marshall county at the meet
ing of the committee Saturday. January 13 and hereafter the
Oldest saunchest Republicans in the county will not
be told that they wanted at committee .etngs and
the Chronicle will be welcomed If they bring
forth fruits for repentance seek home in the Republ
fold and willing accord equal rights to every Re-
publican in the county
Party prospers and who conspre de-
stroy their party organization never succeed
Horace Greeley, Lyman Trumbull Carl Schurz and
hundred other Republicans big they tried this IN lS1z
and the world knows the result
Marshall county Republicans in better shape
meet the enemy than today Let every Republican
November of Republican candidates will be
assured.
