Publication notice listing price and publisher names DIRRELLE CHANEY ROBERT P WHITE for a periodical.
The piece laments gang influence in Sullivan County, predicts a crackdown on campaign bosses before the next primary, and asserts good men for office as the future. It quotes political cynicism and notes that voters showed awareness in the recent election.
Hundreds of Democrats expressed approval of a reform stance by casting ballots against corruption and bossism and endorsing a cleaner administration in Sullivan County.
The election results reveal that hundreds of Democrats ignored the county party organ urging them to back only Democratic ticket candidates, indicating a broad split in party loyalties and support for alternative candidates.
Will H. Hays, prominent local attorney and former chairman of the Republican state committee speakers bureau, is receiving commendation for his excellent leadership of the important position. He had personal charge of the bureau and guided campaign efforts closely.
The vice president praised the state tour as well directed and a personal letter of commendation was sent regarding its success. Press representatives who joined the train forwarded complimentary notices to Mr. Hays. Indiana counties long plagued by party bosses, including Sullivan, benefited from the recent election and voted against corruption and unworthy candidates.
A local Democratic paper criticized sending Captain Thomas B. Springer to the legislature. The county’s election results show about four hundred Democrats voting differently, implying the publisher’s advice was ill advised and the critique unfortunate.
Congressman Chaney ran a strong campaign in the second district despite a notable decline in Republican votes across many GOP strongholds. The result supports the claim that the district leans Democratic and endorses Chaney's record with substantial backing from constituents.
Charles E. Henderson defeated John A. Riddle in Sullivan and Greene counties signaling voter demand for ethical judiciary. Henderson’s strong legal standing and personal sacrifice during the campaign contrasted with Riddle’s alleged self serving methods.
The district opposed him by six hundred votes but his stand for a clean judiciary earned praise from Democrats in both counties. They value sober courage and see the ballot as a dignifying expression for the office.
The tocsin has sounded as Sullivan county voters across party lines reject graft and machine politics. Voters backed Democrats Henderson as judge Wood as prosecutor Walters as sheriff while Republican Springer won the representative seat by 228. Majorities show a political upheaval and a push for clean government.
