Dirty Politics

A few days ago the News o this
city published an article credited to
the Reno Gazette stating that Key
Pittman had formed compact with
Sards Sumerfeld in order to defeat
Judge Massey for the Senatorship,
giving the Office to Pitmann, and
Snmerheld to be later rewarded
through Pittman's influence.
OF course the News was pleased to
copy this dope without looking into
its merits, but there is no doubt in
the world but that the whole dirty
yarn was matched" in the Gazette
Office and the Appeal is able TO pos
itively state that there is not a word
of truth in it. 1t does not require
long story TO refute any such story,
only the fact that Key Pittman is
not that kind of man.

1t All Depends

There is considerable street com
ment and argument as to whether a
candidates personal record should be
attacked for political effect after he
announces himself for an office with
in the gift of the people. This refers
to newspaper attacks.
There possibly may be some ques-
ton as TO the ACCESSIBILITY and the
right Of public personal exposure and
it certainly depends considerably on
the man, also the office to which he
aspires. The People unknowingly,
it would properly seem, should not be
office when by his personal actions
he would bring discredit upon them
and shame TO the official name: and
might be liable to place himself in
a position where he was not respon-
sible for his official acts. Probably
doing something to the detriment of
his constituents.
On the other hand. none OF us are
immune. or infallible and circum-
stances may cause me to do things
which in reality should not be count
ed against him in a general way per-
sonally.
There is a decidedly divided opin-
ion on the question and is certainly
a difficult one to decide and at the
same time be fair to all concerned.
Men are frail beings and make mis-
takes, do things that they should not.
Internationally. and in this connection
the Appeal for one does not believe
it would be Square deal" to attack
a mans private character or personal
mis-steps in order to gain a political
end, unless his acts are so bad that
they are publicly unbearable We will
not do it.
