Populistic War On Mccue.

Kenmare Journal: A number of the
newspapers throughout the state have
been Waging a sort of populistic war
on Attorney General McCue recently,
but what the animus of the attack is
we are unable to learn and it an.
pears to be nothing more than mi
nority report from the grievance com
mittee. McCue has done we'll in his
term Of office, and we fail to see why
any one but sorehead should espec.
tally choose to abuse his name for
lung exercise. The writer has known
Attorney General McCue for many
years. and We know he is hard-work-
ing, conscientious fellow. It is true,
he hasn't turned the state upside
down, pulled the corporations inside
out or stampeded the trusts with ter
ror-as his mugwump critics would
like to see-bnt he has done as well
as the average man would have done
in that Office. We believe Mac Is all
right.
