MORE G.. q. Y. NON-PARTTSAN HY.
POCRISY COMES TO LIGHT.

ToftaBe township are now asserting
themselves.
/ IL beats all how non partisan the
republicans are just now.
In this way they are making a
special appeal, or think they are, es-
pecially TO the prOgressives.
There are no candidates for these
/ offices on the progressive ticket" they
! 20 on. and to pull down the first
lever only and vote the straight ticket
will not vote for any candidates for
\ these offices. The straight ticket can
/ be voted just as we'll by pulling down
/ the lever over each name, and that
will give you opportunity to vote for
/ justices of the peace"
| Exactly why progressives should
/ drift 20 voting for republicans for
officers where their party has none,
/ more than 20 any other party. is more
or less mysterious. The only extent
7 10 which candidates on the republican
ticket are non-partisan. Is for the
purpose of catching progressive votes,
and fearing that TO ask them to vote
for republicans as republicans might
fail, the non-partisan gag is used as a
false pretense.
Now there are other candidates for
whom progressives can vote by turn
ing down individual levers.-candi-
dates for justice Of the peace,
too; eight Of them. Two OF
these are democrats. Thanks to
the republican nominees for
mentioning that ]. Elmer Peak
and Joseph Wypiszynski are also in
the race, but. mind you, they are in
the race as democrats, and that with
out seeking outside help under pre-
lenses of non-partisanship.
OF course, they are not declining
any votes from outside the party. and
are really soliciting them, but to that
extent they are operating upon their
! personalities. their personal standings,
and, their personal illnesses, rather
than by discounting their party with
the pretense of having deserted it.
They are making a partisan cam
paign plus a personal one, which is
| tie truthful way of putting it, and
that is what the republican nominees
are really doing. The difference lies
in the fact that the democrats are
not ashamed of their party, while the
republicans apparently are and are
therefore seeking to blanket it with a
nOn-partisan cloak.
Elmer Peak is one OF the best
and most favorably known OF the
younger lawyers of South Bend.
! He was born in this city and has
lived here all his life. He was
graduated from the South Bend
high school and earned his way
! through Notre Dame and Indiana
State universities by doing news
paper work AS county attorney
! for the poor he has assisted many
unfortunate people without funds.
/ His conduct as a lawyer has won
the respect and commentator of
his many clients and fellow at
torneys. His life in this COM
munity merits the approval OF his
fellow citizens. His training and
! experience have eminently fitted
him for the position OF Judge OF
the poor mans court"
Mr. Wypiszynski was born in
the state OF Wisconsin, and is 50
years old. He has been tax
payer IN South Bend for the past
six years. He was appointed
justice of the peace by the county
commissioners May l, 1914, to
fill the unexpired term of Geo.
w. Zinky. now postmaster.
These are township offices, and
slong with the justices of the peace
the others may well be mentioned, for
instance, Gus A Klingler, candidate
for the important office of township
trustee.
Mr.. Klingler is now serving
South Bend in the capacity of
school attendance officer, and in
this position, he has had much
experience in dealing with the
poorer element of the city. Dur
ing the 1913 school term he has
found paying positions for los
boys and girls between the ages
of fourteen and sixteen, where
the income from their services
was essential to the family livel-
hood. This principle, which ap
piled as truStee-supplying work
instead of alms,-will be made to
save the tax payers some money.
on the strength of this record,
he asks your support in the No
vember election.
