Show IFOR A CLEAN CAMPAIGN. Let us hop- the worthy resolve of the Republican campaign managers, to keep the campaign on a high plane, free from bombast and mud slinging, will be lived up to In a statement made on Friday, Harri M Daugherty, a member of the Republican executive committee declared: "A campaign at all times must be in harmony with the candidate candi-date and the cause As far as the plans of the Republican party are concerned they will go on in orderly fashion as laid out from limr to time by Chairman Hays and the committee in conference with the candidate. Nothing will be done in connection with the Republican Re-publican campaign or omitted to be done, because any particular thing has been done or omitted to be done by the opposition. "I think I ban B&feli say that the American people must not ex pect a campaign of bombast to be conducted h' , or m behalf of, tin Republiean candidate or party A campaign of personalities may nol be expected, nor a campaign which appeals to prejudice; but rather a campaign of dignity, entirely appropriate, and in harmony with the dignity of the candidate jnd the position to which he aspires." There have been presidential campapigns not up to that stand-j stand-j ard When Cleveland and Blaine were running, no calumny was ! too foul, no attack too bitter to find public expression. It was a na 1 tional disgrace, and neither party, in our opinion, profited by the ! dishonorable tactics. ' 1 Our presidential campaigns should be free from vicious person alities or appeals to extreme prejudice. |
