The daily sentinel., 1909-03-18

cred a general talk on Good Citizen
ship This too was an able and in
teresting talk, characteristic of the
judge.
Judge Shackleford had been asked
to take place on the program yet last
year when certain cases in the district
court did not go to suit the Good
Citizenship League a number of the
leaders in this league were heard to
denounce Judge Shackleford in the
most decided terms. calling him bit
ter names and questioning his in
tegrity. Yet at that time Judge
Shackleford acted in a most impartial
and fair manner and did not deserve
one word of criticism.
Thomas Dimes was next introduced
and he set off some of the fireworks
of villification and denunciation in a
short talk. He devoted his efforts to
denunciation of the Citizens &
Taxpayers ticket and his remarks
were loudly cheered by some of the
men.
Then came Roy NJ. McClintoclS. one
of the men engaged in writing the
nasty daily attacks on the Citizens &
Taxpayers ticket, an individual who
while posing as holy one of stain
less bearing has lost no opportunity
to attempt to blind the people and
lead them to believe falsehoods that
he and his great holy" co-worker.
Mr.. Bickel, manufacture to further
the interests of their champions of
the Good Citizenship League. 1t was
a golden opportunity for Mr.. McClin-
took to get in some self-advertising
and also to make some nasty. lying
attacks on The Daily Sentinel. He
did not have the decency or courage
TO quote himself in his yellow organ
this morning, in regard to what he
said about The Daily Sentinel and
when he said that the men who were
falsely registered were brought to /
The Sentinel office he deliberately |
and knowingly lied.
Attorney Thomas j. Darnell. the
of the anti-saloon campaign, |
was the last speaker on the regular |
program. Attorney Darnell is not .
one of the men who practice villifica
tion and falsehoods in order to win a
victory. he is too sensible. too broad |
minded and too honorable to deal in
such disreputable tactics. He made
a straightforward talk ON the one
cause that the anti-saloon people
should be devoted to, that of putting
ne saloons out of business. not. OF
attempting to deceive people into be
ieving that the Citizens & TaXpay-
srs' ticket is a product of the saloon
men, that if that ticket is elected the
own cannot go dry, and that If
wins the charter must
yin. No bitter attacks were involved :
n Attorney Darnell's talk 1t was a =
emperate yet forceful address. =
Then Rev. ID. d. Forsyth, of the
Methodist church, took charge of the
Meeting and announced that he pro- .
,osed to raise funds sufficient to .
AIRY on the campaign. Rev. Forsyth :
ook occasion to give utterance to his .
Jews regarding the Citizens & Tax .
ayers ticket but was not abusive in ..
lis language. ..
over an hour was devoted to the i.
aising of funds. The pledges did not :
ONE in as rapidly as desired and (.
tev. James A. Becker eXhorted the :
len TO wake up and assist in meeting ;
he expenses of the campaign. He :
eclared that unless the funds were
and the Good Citizen
hip members backed up their dec :
lrauons by contributions of cash, il 4
'as useless to continue the fight.
.ev. Becker's talk was most em-
hattie and forceful he told the men
what was what" Neither did Rev.
ecker get abusive The Sentinel has +
lways found that Rev. Becker is
iore temperate and fair in his re- B
larks and has more regard for the
luare deal than many of the men
no sat near him last night and (
lany times he has been denounced
nd attacked for unfair methods
hen other men working in the same
luse We're TO blame and not he
ev. Becker is sincere in his beliefs
nd this cannot be said of number
so-called leaders for law enforce q
