Papers Will Be Called "The Weekly Republican" and "The

TRANSACTION RECEIVED WITH DELIGHT BY. BUSINESS MEN AND PARTY
Combined Business Will Give Largest
Equipped Job Plant in the City.
Present Location
Jan. 7 A deal wa3 closed today
whereby S. E. Boys, publisher of the
Chronicle, becomes owner of
the Tribune daily and weekly
newspapers and printing plant in
Plymouth.
The two plants will be combined
and the papers published under the
name of "The Weekly Republican"
and "The Plymouth Daily Republi-
can.
The present location of the Chroni
cle will be maintained and enlarged
to take eare of the machinery and
increased business.
The combination of thes,e two
papers has long been wished for by
both business interests and the
members of the republican party.
Thi3 announcement will, therefore,
be very welcome new3 not oniy to
the business men of Plymouth but
to the party thoroughout the
county.
This change leaves only one re
publican paper in Marshall county,
which is very desirable from a
political point of view; and only!
two papers in the city of Plymouth,
-which is a very desirable situation
from many viewpoints.
The combination gives the
Republican by far the largest
circulation both on Daily and
on Weekly in the county and will
make its plant the best equipped
newspaper and job plant in the
city.
It will take perhaps a month or
more before changes of the ma
chinery and complete installation
of the combined plant are done." In
the meantime the be3t offorts will
be made to care for the job work as
promptly as possible under the con
ditions. On Monday the Republican will
be issued from one office to the
subsciibers of botb the Tribune and
the Chronicle and the eame thing
will be done on the weekly list on
Thursday.
The taking up of the old news
paper name "Republican" for the
party organ name in this county
we believe will be the most satis
factory to everybody. Though the
contents of the paper will be the
game whatever the name, yet there
is something in a name.
Mr. Hendricks will finish some
job printing here and expects then
to buy a newspaper in seme larger
city.
He has always had an excellent
.job business and his ekillin that
line will be missed in thi3 city. .11
started the Tribune in 1901 as the
successor of the Republican and has
published it since that date. Es
pecial praise ehould be given to his
son, Wm. C. Hendricks, for his
ability as a news writer. For the
past two or three years he has had
almost entire charge of the news
paper pari of the business and has
kept the Tribune at a high standard.
Hi3 work has been much appreciat
ed by the public.
. Postal Examination.

held a civil Bervice examination for
rural mail carriers this morning in
-.the commissioner's room at the

ALBERT J. VENEMAN SELECTED
Local Candidate Goes Down With
Anti-Taggart Faction. Double
Crossed.
Albert J. Veneman of Evansville
was selected by the democratic
caucas for the next speaker of the
house of the Indiana Legislature.
He wa9 selected on the second
ballot over Adam E. Wise of Plym
outh, Adolph Seidensticker of In
dianapolis, M. C. Thornton of New
Albany and Jo. M. Cravens of
Madison.
It was a case of Taggart or Anti
Taggart and the National com
mitteeman showed he had the
winning hand. Taggart decided
that Veneman should be the next
speaker and the antis placed the
most of their strength back of
Wise.
The first ballot gave Veneman
24, Wise 14, Seidensticker 10, Cra
vens G and Thornton 4, and the
second which- brought the nomi
nation was: Veneman 31, Wise 18,
Seiden9ticker 5, Cravens 2 and
Thornton 2.

Peter J. Kruyer was also in Indian
apolis but according to the papers
of that city he was with the Vene
man crowd.
Local politicians claim that the
victory was one for Governor Mar
shall but here is what one of the
Indianapolis papers says about the
candidacy of Adam Wise:
"The lineup bebind Wise came
principally from anti-Taggart men,
or men who have previously been
identified with the Taggart element
but were "dumped" in this race.
The anti-Taggart men realized for
the first time Tuesday that they
bad made a mistake in not uniting
upon one candidate and the nego
tiations began at once. It was
esen that a combination could not
be formed that would be of much
benefit to Seidensticker, eo the

THE PLYMOUTH REPUBLICAN
Saturday witnessed the last publication of the Plymouth Tribune and .
the Plymouth Chronicle as separate newspapers. Beginning Monday
January 9th, a -new newspaper will make its appearance in Plymouth
The two Republican newspapers have been combined by Samuel E. Boys
publisher of the Chronicle and will be called THE PLYMOUTH RE-
PUBLICAN.
v
This is the last issue 'of this newspaper under the management of
Hendricks and Company. . . "'
The final union of the two Republican newspapers has been accom-
plished, after efforts toward consolidation exetnding for several months
past. The combination of the circulation of both papers, has been
the ideal of both managements for a long time, and h; been finally
accomplished, with prefect satisfaction toward the publishers of both.
The union of the two publications, will be a date of importance in
the editorial history of Plymouth and Marshall county. Many difficult
situations such as advertising patronage by business. men, political con-
dition, etc. will at once" be corrected by the consolidation, which was
deferred only by the inability to reach satisfactory terms.
The Plymouth Tribune, was instituted by Hendricks and Co. in the
year 1900, as a successor to the Plymouth Republican, and Plymouth
Evening News. '
During the time, that these publications were issued by the retiring
manasmcnt, every effprt has been. made, to give the residents of Ply-
mouth and Marshall county, the best newspaper which has' ever been
published here. The Tribune has made many enemies by its attitude
on -various public questions, but it has always stood and fought for
what it deemed was the right. As a consequence, we believe that the
Tribune has a host of friends, more staunch and true ' than its most
bitter "disbelievers." To this army of friends our subscribers and
i
patrons we heartily introduce, and recommend our successor, and late
contemporary, Mr. Samuel E. Boys who will continue to serve you
with the best Plymouth newspaper, the Plymouth Republican.
The present management will in all probabilities, leave Plymouth
With the idea in mind, of seeking, a larger field, with an increased
chance of opportunity four our children, our. intentions are to secure
a newspaper in a larger city. . f
The year 1910, has been the most prosperous year in the history of
the Tribune. As publishers of the Tribune, we believe that we have
advanced the paper to its utmost and with confident hopes of high
prospects, we consign the newspaper to the new management, The
Plymouth Republican. To our friends and .past .patrons, we extend
our heart-felt thanks, for support and patronage, so generously be-
stowed, and wish all a happy and prosperous new year. And so with
malice toward none, and good will toward all, we say Gccd-bye..

COMPULSORY CHOICE
German Township Compelled
Selection of Fries. ,
CRASI SHOWN TO BE MOST POPULAR
Choice of Commissioners for Infirmary
"Superintendent Gives Much Dis
satisfaction Among Democrats.
The choice of William Fries of
Bremen as successor to Peter J.
Kruyer as superintendent of the
county farm seems not to have
given the best satisfaction, accord
ing to comments among democrats
since the election.
It is said the party wanted a
young man without a family, and
Mr. Flies is over fifty and has five
children. It is said further that
they wanted a farmer and that Mr.
Fries is a clerk in a hardware store
and not a man of proper -caliber to
handle the job as it should be.
Moreover, the thing which de
cided his selection was neither his
favor with the commissioners nor
his fitnecs for the place, but instead
it was a cold, raw threat from the
democrats of German township
which amounted to compulsion in
the matter. There was nothing
else for the commissioners to do but
elect Fries.
TKey voted for twenty-four bal
lots to make ehoving and then did
what they intended to do at the
beginning.
Tne German township politicians
put it up something like this, eo it
is said by those on the inside.
"German township gave the
ticket oyer 200 majority, and if you
don't give us this place we will go
republican in the next election."
That was what turned the trick.
The feeling of the commissioners is
shown, however, by the following
yotes which the different candidates
received:
1st ballot, Suit, Cram, Fries
2nd M 44 dull, Voreis
3rd " Brugh, Cramer, Cram
4th ' Fries, Voreis, Sarber

Total Votes received by each of
the candidates were: Brugh 3, Suit

Fries 16, Sarber' 8 and Voreis 11.
Commissioners Lee and Thayer
cast the votes that elected Fries on
the 24th ballot.
It is said by Sarber's friends that
he had the strongest and best
recommendations of any of the
candidates. The vote 9hows how
ever that Cram was the strongest
candidate as he received the most
yotes and was in reality the com
missioners choicfl.
