NEW CASTLE c. Q, P.


time that positive evidence had been
secured Of Lynch activity for Watkins
the ependent- Progressive candi-
date, and it was the first time New
Castle learned that Lynch was TO
break his pledge to Judge COmstOck to
withdraw from the congressional race.
Ii spread rapidly and d fractional fight
at the township meeting resulted,
The Watson Republicans were victor
ious in this melee, however, and nam
ed four of the six delegate from the
township, all rabid Lynch men.
One of the two anti-Watson Repub-
icans elected as delegate was Rufus
Hinshaw, secretary Of the county cen
trail committee, and at Cambridge City
a few days later he precipitated near
riot in the Henry county caucus by re-
fusing to support Lynch on the ground
that he had not supported Martin
Rooms for mayor and because Lynch
had promised Judge Comstock not to
oppose him.
When the unit rule was put through
Hinshaw promised to take the fight to
the convention floor and expose the
Henry county Republican skeleton to
tue view OF the entire district. This
was avoided by Lynch's nomination by
reclamation. One of the men defeat
ed for delegate from Henry township
was George Elliott, editor Of the New
Castle Courier, who was opposed to
Lynch because OF his treachery to his
party during the mayoralty campaign,
and because Elliott favored Judge
ComStock
City Election Row.
The start of the trouble which has
split the Republican party of Henry
county in twain goes back to the Re-
publican city nominating convention
early last fall. Lynch was a candidate
against Martin l.. Rooms and Rooms de-
feated him by three to one vote
From that time on Rooms had to wage
q fight against not only the Democrats
and Progressiyes but against the
lynch Evans Millikan Barnard faction
OF his own party
AS has been stated Mr. Rooms ad-
mits this fact. If he had not there
would still be ample proof of the
assertion.
And as an evidence that the breach
between the two factions of the Re
publican party OF Henry county can
not be bridged, New Castle politicians
call attention to the attitude Of the
New Castle Courier, which has ALWAYS
been loyal party paper. Before the
congressional convention it editorially
Endorsed the candidacy of Judge Com
stock. Since the convention it has
merely printed a signed effusion from
the pen of Pat Lynch, but has failed to
refer to him directly or Indirectly in
Its editorial columns. and this atti-
tude on the part of the Courier is ex-
pected to be maintained right up to
election day.
The Republican party Of Henry
county is on the rocks and no life saw
ing crew is at hand.

Don't censure the constant knocker,
It's as high as his mind can run,
Give him word of encouragement
And let him go on with his fun
Assist him in his vocation.
He's sure to climb the lader OF fame.
If he keeps up his steady knocking
He will make for himself a name.
A name that will follow him through
life,
Then rising upon his grave.
A marker should bear these few words
The true. the just. the brave
Let him go on with his knocking,
He'll finally drop with a thud,
Then we can add to his marker
One little word. just mud
Hats off to the Richmond Palladium.
Which stands for q square deal for
all.
Let US stand shoulder to shoulder.
For you know that divided we fall
Hats off as we'll to the knocker.
Salute him whenever you pasA
View him as only knocker.
And not as great big ass

ONLY A KNOCKER

or all the manner and kinds of men
The most to be pittied of all,
Is the poor deiuded knocker,
With his over supply OF gall.
Now we have a county agent
Who is known as A ID. Cobb,
And through the work of knockers
Was about to lose his job.
They have knocked him this and tina,
way,
They have kicked him by the hour
Forgive them, Brother Farmers,
You know the grapes are sour.
But along comes the good old Pal
With a heart In the proper place.
And to prove the motto of right is
might
Corn Cobb has won the race.
