Campaigns Gone By in Indiana Then and Now
A reminiscence notes that Indiana political campaigning shifted after 1896 from torchlight processions and pole raisings to organized efforts. It recalls pole-raising feats in Fairbanks 1880, wigwams for rallies, glee clubs, and marchers, with races between Democrats and Republicans and strong rivalries fading as rural delivery and modern organization took over.

Merom Bond Proposal Likely Denied Over Tax Base
The hearing on Merom’s plan to issue 15000 in bonds for electric lights concluded with State Tax Board official Willis C. Nusbaum indicating a finding in favor of petitioners. He cited insufficient town property to justify the bond issue, noting that external power users in the township would cover about half the need. Despite local support, the ruling may prompt supporters to pursue other avenues with the tax board.
