South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1914-10-06

They have stood firmly by him and
the voters of Indiana will do well to
think this over carefully before voting
to send to congress men who will do
everything in their power to obstruct
the national administration in its work
for reform and progress.
When Pres. Wilson signed the
new currency bill ne said:
Il myself have always felt when the
democratic party was criticised as not
knowing how to serve the business in
terests of the country that there was
no use Of replying TO that in words.
The only satisfactory reply was in ac-
ton. We have written the first chap
ter of that reply"
Democrats, do not be deceived by
the Indianapolis News.
1t has but one purpose in this cam
paign to wreck your party.
1t is bending every energy to elect
! the republican ticket-yes to return to
power the same old crowd that it once
accused of being machine bosses and
| Of destroying their party. 1t is work
| ing for the republican ticket, not be-
cause that party has reformed or is
under different control but because
The Indianapolis News itself wants
10 control politics in Indiana.
For several years the Indianapolis
News has played a losing game in so
far as debating the governing policies
of the state were concerned
1t can no longer pose as a 'molder
/ OF public opinion"
The public is showing a disposition
| TO think for ltself-tO mold its own
opinions.
The voters have come to realize
that the Indianapolis News represents
! but one mans OpiniOn-and that man
is not even a resident of Indiana.
He lives in Chicago and spends the
dividends derived from the Indianapo-
| lis News in that city.
The people have been for some time
asking themselves why their political
! policies should be dominated by a man
who can have no possible interest in
the welfare of their state-who is in
| teresteo in Indiana for purposes of re-
venue only.
! Now this condition Of independence
and public spirit on the part of the
people does not please the News at all.
! II sees IS power slipping. Hoping TO
| regain in some measure its lost pres
/ tige, il has espOused the republican
/ cause, for the democratic administra-
ton has shown il very clearly that IL
will not be ruled by the indianapolis
| News
! The progressive party is, Of course,
| out OF the question, because the In
dianapolis News hates Roosevelt for
| bringing a libel suit against il.
These are the plain facts. Think
| them over you voters
The Indianapolis News seems to
| take comfort in the fact that Sen.
/ Shively and all the Indiana congress
man, who because their duties require
/ them 10 remain in washington. are
unable to be in Indiana at this time 70
! spread abroad among the doubtful
the gospel OF Woodrow Wilson demo
crazy
Now Mr.. Democrat. is IL not strange
that the Indianapolis News. that makes
| so much fuss over Pres. Wilson
and the policies he advocates. does not
/ advocate strongly the election OF
Sen. Shively and the present dem
ocratic congressman who are candi-
dates for reelection?
Well. il is not strange when YOU
think about IL.
The indianapolis News is not FOL
Wilson It's advocacy Of Pres
Wilson's policies = only hypocritical.
Tt gives fulsOme praise Co the presi
dent and then tells YOU TO vote agains
his supporters and TO send 10 congress
