a~ppologized frequently and humbly
for the insult to the home, but the
veterans are not stuffing such insults
in their pockets-their memories are
good and they will be heard from
when they go to the polls June 7.
No one will credit Elrod with any
too much sense, but no man ever be-
lieved that he was stupid enough to
publicly encourage drunkenness in a
soldiers home, the one place above all
others where whisky could do so
much damage and where whisky
creates disturbance and fighting.
The first and most stringent rule
In all the state and national homes, is
against drunkenness and carrying
liquor into the home or even on the
home grounds, because drunkards can
not be tolerated In a soldiers home II
the members are to enjoy any degree
Of comfort and peace, and this rule
holds good In private homes In the ma
tion, and yet this would-be governor
publicly encourages drunken debauch-
cry among men, many OF them doing
their best TO escape from the curse
that has ruined so many men.
1t is with sorrow we write this re-
ply to the remarks of a man who has
been governor of this state, sorrow to
think any decent man would preach
such a policy Of ruin in order to catch
a few votes Of men who prefer whisky
to comfort in the best soldiers home
In the country, and it Is not surpris-
ing that the stalwarts have pulled
Elrod off the stump.
The United States government con-
dennis drunkenness in all departments,
state governments do the same, the
corporations will not employ a drunk
ard, drunkards are punished under
the laws in every city and hamlet in
the country, and drunkards are fired
out Of every state and national home
In the nation, but Elrod, who will
never be governor, encourages drunk
eness and violation OF law in his pub
lie speeches and says the state soldiers
home Is a fit place for drunkards, and
II they we're too drunk he would send
q Estate team" after them SO that
the home could be made into a hell, a
sordid, cowardly insult to every hon.
orable veteran In the state by a cheap,
stupid demagogue.
