Indiana Democrats favor Norman Eppy for Governor and Nissack for First District
An Indiana Democratic statement endorses Norman Eppy for Governor, citing his Northern appeal, soldierly record, and state leadership. It also backs William Nipnack as First District Congressman and endorses Nissack’s re nomination by a larger majority. The note calls for unity at upcoming National State and District Conventions and pledged support for whoever is chosen. A separate item jokes about chestnut plans in Philadelphia and a Georgia train incident. It ends with a telegraph cable mileage estimate totaling 84 000 miles with 100 000 more annually.
