Corydon Capitol Building and Local Politics Highlight Visit
Indianapolis editor George M. Ray describes Corydon Harrison county as Democratic stronghold with full county offices except Auditor. Roosevelt Republicans dominate reform factions while Taft Republicans struggle. The old capitol building, now court and office space, stands as a landmark. Local dignitaries including Smith Askren and J. L. O Bannon figure in county events and the Corydon Fair is set to open August 26. The town remains dry yet social life persists with cheap beer via password, and Corydon aims for a strong fair season and growth.
