MUST NOT TANGLE THE KELLYS

One of the notable contributions to the
political literature of the current state
campaign is an article written by Sena-
ator H. J. Miller, and published in his
newspaper, the Sock County Herald,
entitled GA Shattered Idol" This arti-
Gle is a most striking, example of the
power welded by a man of strong abil-
ity in a comparatively obscure journal
istic position. Again, it shows how it is
possible to be keenly and incisively. criti-:
cal without at the same time being often
sively personal, Or in the slightest degree
untruthful. t"HT &jls .''#I'"'3' III

The article opens by announcing that
"The Herald has always had a very
high regard for the John Lind who was
once member of congress from this
district. 1t has had unquestioning faith
in his integrity and has had, as it has
now, great admiration for his undoubted
ability. That regard and admiration
for the John Lind to whom they be-
longed, are as--strong today as they ever
werep .qEtl sg1i : ~ u" iiHi2t!.::'."t :.
Then follows the statement that the
John Lind Of. those, former days.. and
the John Lind Of today are two, distinct
personages, ''the one being an earnest
and sincere advocate of - Republican
principles, and the other John Lind de-
nouncing those great principles as in
famous" Mr.. Miller, in the most glow
ing language, shows up the strong in
consistenciesa of Mr.. Lind's present
position; how he spent the best
years ~ Of his life lin building
splendid structure of Republican pri11-
ciple, and now. assuming the common
position Of politically depraved dema-
gogue, he is seeking by falsehood and
finnesse to- destroy the temple OF honor
reared in the days of his youth Id rs
