Resent The Insult 10 their ndtionalitV

The fact that my name is O'Leary
has never made me hang my head
in shame. The fact that my mother
came from Ireland, have never felt
to be disgrace. The fact that many
women come from that country to
the United States and seek employ
ment as domestics has never been
considered shameful.
The fact that the women of that
race are noted for their virtue is
known to all men, with the possible
exception of the writer of the edi-
torial mentioned.
Is the cause in which this man is
engaged so desperate that it requires
him to indulge in indecent bar-room
stories to illustrate. his points? Is
the man: SO foul-mouthed that he
must indulge in blackguardism and
indecencies to make an argument?
Will the people against whom he has
leveled this gratuitous insult feel
friendly toward the cause he advo-
Gates? Does Mayor Murphy, who be-
longs to the race se>women this
man traduces and insults, approve Of
this kind of argument? II he does,
either l mistake the man or he has
experienced great change of heart.
AS one of the race against whom
this shaft of ridicule, and something
worse, is aimed, l protest against
the blackguardism of the writer of
that article; and to meke my protest
effective, if for no other reason, 1
propose to vote against every man
whose election he advocates.
Yours very truly,
w. r. O'Leary.
The Virginia enterprise. [volume] (Virginia, St. Louis County, Minn.) 1893-19??, 1912-05-24

In the course of an article on the
Virginia recall election in the Duluth
Weekly Record, published by A. G.
Mcknight ct al, it is contended that
the Aldermen under recall cannot
contend that anyone has put blot
on their character, asserting that 1T
is already there
Continuing the article states: I'm
fact, they possibly are in about the
same position as Bridget was when
she arrived in America, having lost
the letter of recommendation which
her former employer had given her
when she left the ould sod. She ap-
pealed to her uncle to help her out
in her quest for employment by hav-
ing him certify to the fact that she
had such a letter when she left Ire
land, and this is what he wrote: "To
whom it may concern: This is to
certify that Bridget O'Leary had a
good character when she left Ire
land, but lost it on the way over"
That some Of those of Irish de-
scent do not appreciate the humor
of the presumed joke is evidenced by
the following communication in which
specific exception is taken to the in
suit to the Irish race as follows:
Virginia, Minn., May 21, 1912.
Editor Enterprise:
Dear Sir-I have been very much
interested in the recall election
which is now in progress in Virginia.
From the workingmen's view of the
situation there are several matters
of great importance entering into the
contest.
The Virginia enterprise. [volume] (Virginia, St. Louis County, Minn.) 1893-19??, 1912-05-24

Our opponents pledge that if elect
ed they will use their best judgment
to so act as to promote the general
welfare of the people and to pro-
mote the growth and progress Of the
city and will endeavor to conduct
the city affairs in such manner as
to earn and deserve the respect aud
confidence of the people. Beautiful
language, known to every voter in
the United States, the usual pledge CT
the ofice-seeker who has nothing
else to offer. It's the pledge made
by the political grafters whom Jos
eph Folk drove out Of Missouri. It's
the pledge made by Abe Ruef and
his gang of political parasites in San
Francisco. That We will do every
thing We can for our people whom
We love so dearly is the empty,
meaningless promise made by the
men who elected Lorimer to the
United States senate and by the men
who stole the money appropriated
to build the State Capitol of Penn
sylvania. Beautiful language but
meaningless. Any citizen, good, bad
or Indifferent, will admit that If
elected to Office he will do all he
can for the welfare of his people.
We want none of this trash, we
want something definite. We wish
to know what these patriotic citizens
really intend to do and so we shall
further examine their pledge.
They say that we will use every
honorable effort to the end that the
city may acquire its own water, light
and power plant either by purchase
or condemnation of the present plant
or sby th9 construction of a new
plant, so that the people may set
better and cheaper light and water
service. Have they by this state
ment raised an issue? Have we not
done and are we not doing AMI do
we not desire to do what they are
merely promising to do? Is not this
issue a false issue raised to bliad
the voters and do us an injustice
merely to satisfy the personal amb:-
tion of office-seekers? We submitted
the question -of !. acquiring a. water
and light plant to the voters ct vir-
ginia. We had the plant of the pres
ent operating company appraised by
engineers selected and recommended
by the Civic League. We instructed
the city attorney to draft an prji-
nance compelling the present COM
pany to lower it's rates, but we ran
up against the legal opinion Of Mr..
Poirier, the mayors choice for city
attorney. On every occasion when
asked 50 to do and many times on
our own initiative we have gone on
The Virginia enterprise. [volume] (Virginia, St. Louis County, Minn.) 1893-19??, 1912-05-24

When matters of Importance are
about to be submitted to the people,
and the people asked to pass delib-
crate Judgment thereon, it is we'll
that the task be approached intelli-
gently, and free from anything that
might stir up bias, prejudice, or
harsh or bitter feelings.
During the last week those engag-
ed on one side of the present contest
imported from Duluth a man named
Mcknight to deliver an address on
their side of the question. I did not
have the pleasure of hearing him,
but if his spoken words are as full
Of blackguardism as are his printed
sentences l do not think that anyone
absenting himself missed very much.
1t seems that this gentleman is
the editor or part owner of a paper
published at Duluth and known as
THE Weekly Record" At least,
am informed that he put in consid-
erable: of his time in the attempt to
get subscribers for that paper. After
his return to Duluth several hundred
of these papers were distributed in
Virginia and a front page editorial
was devoted to the recall election.
The gentleman wrfting g that editorial,
presumably Mr.. Mcknight, was not
content to place the situation before
the people in a deceit and respecta-
Bile manner, but found it necessary
to indulge in a STORY too vile to be
told in the lowest bar-room to illus
trate his point, and s the same time
openly attempted to last slur on a
representative part o, the population
of our city.

Gle Pledge II Our Opponents.

:
record in favor Of thacity's acquir.
ing plant of it's oNh, And now
our opponents by their pledge at
tempt to make you bAaieve that we
are against the acquisition Of d plant
by the city. This isSnot q square
deal. It's political strtckery OF. the
worst sort and honest men will re.
sent it with all their might. You
have our actions, their words; our
record, their promise Are .hcse
men sincere? Why hare they raised
a false issue? What have they in
mind? Is it, the intsntion to so
change the city goveinment as to
furnish lucrative positions for the
wonderfully public-spirited citizens
trying to drive us fromspublic oEce?
Ascertain what we have done, read
our records on this municipal own
ership proposition and then On cleo
tion day render a fair and impartial
verdict. If you do this, a handful
Of trouble-makers will be put out of
business and Virginia Will again take
up it's work and continue the pros
perity it has had during the past de-
cade.
The third paragraph of our oppo-
nents' pledge says that they recog-
nize that the mayor and the three
aldermen not included in the recall
are working for the interests of the
people for the acquisition of a water
and light plant to the end that water,
light and power may be furnished
the city and it's inhabitants, at actual
cost and further says that they agree
to work in harmony with the mayor
and said aldermen. Will they work
in harmony with said aldermen in
holding up the report of Burns &
Mcdonnell, the appraisers? Will
they work in harmony with said al
dermen in refusing ito recommend
that the city buy the. present plant,
or begin condemnation proceedings
or take steps to bui4 a competing
plant? Our opponents know that the
aldermen not included in the recall
are the water and light committee
of the council and have these things
to do. Our opponents further know
that this committee xs1uses: to- take
any action and ADOPT dxlatory tac-
tics only to hurt us and for no other
reason. And it's a matter of COM
mon knowledge that this committee
is holding up this entire business
with the consent of the mayor and
our opponents whose hearts bleed
for their oppressed fellow-citizens.
Will these gentlemen, if elected,
work in harmony with this water
and light committee in refusing 20

tensions so as to get light and water
70 the people OF new additions: Did
not this committee composed Of the
men not included In the recall refuse
for six co weeks to do anything re-
garding such improvements and ex-
tensions? And did not we, the un-
dersigned, tired Of the delay, take
the matter. out of the hands of the
committee and force the light and
water company to extend, it's service
to the Pillsbury and Rooney addi-
tions, and lay large fire mains ON
Virginia avenue and Cedar and
Beech street?
We repeat again, let this water
and light committee of the council
recommend that we buy the present
plant. or let them say that the Burns
& Mcdonald appraisement is too
high and recommend that eondem-
nation proceedings be brought, or
let them recommend that we adopt
neither of these plans but take steps
towards the building of competing
plant and then you will learn, who
really are for the city and who are
playing politics.
Has Mayor Murphy suggested that
we buy the present plant or begin
condemnation proceedings or take
steps towards building a competing
plant? Has he suggested any line
of action for us to follow? He has
done nothing nor has he suggested
anything except that the people
throw us out of office. Is he, too,
playing politics after having been
given the greatest honor in the gift
of the people of Virginia?
We ask you in the name Of justice
to examine this pledge of our oppo-
nents; to dig down deep beneath
the surface and get at the truth, to
be not deceived by the cloak. of re-
form worn by men working solely
for their own aggrandizement. We
ask you again to examine the record,
ascertain the facts for yourselves
and when you have done that we are
willing to abide by your decision.
We want you to pay no attention to
the false accusations of our enemies
or 70 the commitments paid us by soyr
friends, but we feel that, In fairness
to us you should examine our records
and then when you step into the
booth on Tuesday next ask your
selves whether you can honestly say
that we are opposed to municipal
ownership.
