Gentlemen: Within the past few

statement, that in the event of H. j.

Dirty Political Work.

1t was the hope and expectation of
everybody that the Second district con-
gressional contest would be carried on
without resort to "mudslinging." AS the
end of the campaign approaches. how
ever, the people are confronted with
about as dirty piece of politics as
man. 1t is in the shape of an attack
upon the personal character of Hon. Her.
bert j. Miller, who is contesting for the
nomination against James T. McCleary.
Mr.. McCleary through newspaper
sewer" charges Mr.. Miller with "being a
self confessed promoter of gambling
dens," basing this dirty and low-down
accusation upon the fact that Mr.. Miller
advertises in his paper, the Rock County
Herald, the grain and commission firms
of Edwards, Wood & CO., and the Coe
Commission Company. These same ad-
vertisements appear in almost every
newspaper in the northwest wherever the
firms have general or branch offices.
The charge that Mr.. Miller is self
confessed promoter of gambling dens is
so silly that it will not be regarded with
any degree of seriousness by sensible
men. The Haunting before the people of
an accusation of this character, one
which has no foundation in fact, has
caused the best people in the city where
Mr.. Miller has so long made his home,
to denounce its authors in the vigorous
manner which they so justly deserve.
But this piece of disreputable politics
shows to what limits man will go when
he sees defeat staring him in the face.
"Those whom the gods would destroy
they first make mad"
Language fails to express the contempt
in which we hold the parties who have
sought to make an attack upon a man
who has lived life that is not sullied
by a dark spot. Mr.. Miller's private
character is above reproach. His per-
sonal habits are clearly and no act of
his need ever cause the blush of shame
to overspread his own cheeks nor those
of the members of his family. His rec
ord as public official is without flaw,
and no person can place his finger upon
an act that could be even construed into
wrong doing. Mr.. Miller's integrity hev-
er was questioned by even his political
enemies, who on the contrary have always
held him in the brightest respect for his
