Show SOME POLITICAL SHOTS AT RANDOM In tho mailer of war records If tho Democrats have no uso for tho returned re-turned soldiers except to ask for their votes, their candidates all havo war records, Just as do all other candidates. In a recent lssuo ot the Journal we find tho following: "Bo-ware "Bo-ware ot the one who boasts of his reputation and besides in the matter ot war records, It may bo best to let sleeping dogs He not to 'start anything,' any-thing,' as tho vernacular expresses it. It Is dirty politics anyway." Now wo are not afraid ot starting anything that wo cannot combat, and If thero aro any "sleeping dogs'' on the Republican ticket wo do noi want them to "He," we want them kicked out. And further It tho Journal or anybody else can "start anything" by way of showing that any one of tho Republican candidates has as meascly a war record as tho distinguished rich man on tho Democratic Dem-ocratic tlckot we will do all wo can to defeat that Republican, provided ot course there 1st a loyal candidate on tho Democratic ticket, and we want to say right hero that thero aro somo splendid men on tho Democratic Democrat-ic ticket, as well as thero aro splendid splen-did men and women on tho Republican Republi-can teltet. As to dirty politics, well wo will leave It to tho people to de-te'imlno de-te'imlno Just who Is dealing In that ni tlcle. County Chairman George D. Casto seems to bo gottlng under the skins of tho Democrats. With his solid logic and matchless cloquenco, ho Is making n campaign that Is putting tho Wilson Loaguo followers to flight. Tho Journal Is chiding Mr. Casto because ho with former President Presi-dent Taft and thousands of others thnt nt first sponsored tho Wilson league, later i enounced It. As for Mr. Casto wo feel that ho can well take caro of himself as Manager Charles England of tho Journal 'learned somo tlmo ago, but now for arguments sako let us grant that Mr. Casto has mado a completo som-mcrsault som-mcrsault Is that any mere than President Pres-ident Wilson has dono n thousand times Is President Wilson tho only on-ly man who has tho right to chango his mind? x Again when Governor Cox was at Salt Lako City ho said: "This Is tho most wonderful nssemblogo of peoplo peo-plo I have cer seen. Frankly, I stand here In awo, In tho presence ot so many representatives of your great cltlzclshlp." Just n few short cars ago when need Smoot, a Mormon Mor-mon fiom Utah, was fighting to rt, tain his seat In tho senate Governor Cox said In his paper, tho Dayton joally Nows: "It Is not need Smoot but tho Mormon church which Is under un-der Investigation nt Washington. Smoot himself Is of little consequence. conse-quence. But It Is of the utmost concern con-cern that any organization having Us .seat of government In this nation shall not Impose upon thoso who .look to It for spiritual guldanco 'the DOCTRINE OF VENGEANCti 1 AND TREASON.'' Has Cox changed .his mind? If so Is ho and tho President Pres-ident tho only ones who can do so? Hotter not start anything llttlo ones. President Grant nnd a host of otli-or otli-or prominent citizens who wanted I tho Wilson leaguo havo beon silent I now for a year or moro. When will 'tho Journal begin chastizing Presl-'dont Presl-'dont Grunt? ;i 3 Wo will admit we made a llttlo blunder In stating that "Frederick Champ, presldont of tho Young Men, 1 HVI Republican club, presided at tho 3mM Welling meeting." But even Frits -' 1KB ought to forglvo us for that llttlo v 'B error. You know Fritz associated , iH -4 BK so long with Herbeit Hoover and ,'f was such n booster for Hooer for m . president that at one tlmo wo '; JHH thought Ftltz might bo a Republt- Hi .' can. Could Hoover but see Fritz ' -ftU now and know Just how ho is acting .. 'Hf politically we would not UIo to pio- ' '' VH diet what he would say. And wo , ) , H ' dare say that Hoover would not feel if 'H V so good over what ho did for Frit., ,, ( H Tor jou know It was ery generally I , Hf'J reported that Hoover "kept him out MH of war." '" HS S if I In speaking of Hon W, D. Lhlng- l . H stone tho Journal says: "Mr, Living- 'tit N' stono vns one of tho men who In ' fi , H 1912 told tho voters that Senator H Harding and his crowd wero over ' '' jH kind ot thieves, liars, porch climbers . . jH etc.1' Well now It wo remomber cor ,W rH rectly a fow years ago Hon. C. r. ! ! ' J H Olsen was a Republican and tho J f vM Democrats called him a few names, i I ,, B' and wo think tho Journal did not f spnro him. But a few ears ago h'i (i Br changed his' politics nnd tho Demo- , A crats rewarded him by electing htri to olllco. Again' wo Bay, llttlo ones' i H tend to our own knitting and don't fwVI ttvl "start anything." i, ' Tho Republican quartette seems to l tt have nettled tho Journal. What H jp business Is It of that sheet what pol- J , ; mf' Itlcs tho members ot tho quartette ' ' espouse. That Is their business and , ( SI' If they want to sing for tho Ropubll- ik If they want to sing for tho Republt- , H cans that again Is their business. a JH We'll bet tho Journal a new hat t H that they voto the Republican ticket H anyway. t H .I Tho' Journal Bays "Como out to ? tho rally." Wo say "Como out to 'im tho rallies.'' Attend thorn all, or , all that you can of both and all par- i K ties. Don't bo afraid to listen to the ' , K discussions. It Is discussion nnd dc- lay that saved tho United Slates from tho Wilson League. Did you evor , I know of anyono thnt had a gold brick r. 1 to pass that did not want to pass ttfyW ' 1 boforo tho victim slept over night. 'i1t ' (' 1 So wlh tho Wilson leaguo. Tho mo- 1'; ment ho failed to railroad It, that 1 moment tho United States was saved i 1 I Como out to tho rallies. K1 |
