DEMOCRATIC
ENDORSEMENT
FOR MIR. STROUP
Organ of Democrats in Dau-
phin County Heartily Com
mends" Him as Dist. Atty.
FEARLESS IN OFFICE
Put Liquor Law Violators Out
of Business and Drove Out
Loan Sharks

The inconsistency of the Demo-
cratic campaign now being waged
against Michael e. Stroup, for re-elec-
tion as district attorney, is clearly
shown by the fact that when there
was no political advantage to be gain
ed the Democrats openly endorsed
stroup's course in the district at
torneys office.
They did not do this merely in
private, but the Patriot generally
recognized as the mouthpiece of the
Democratic bosses in this county, not
once, but repeatedly approved the
course of Mr.. Stroup in the conduct of
his office.
In the issue of Monday, December
Is, 1913, when 1t was not known that
Stroup would be candidate for re-
election and when therefore the
Patriot felt free to express it's true at
titude toward him, that newspaper in
leading editorial said:
District Attorney Michael E.
Stroup is to be heartily commend
ed by the people of Harrisburg
and Dauphin county, on the earn
est and effective manner in which
he presented to the court the
evidence gathered by him and the
police department under the di-
rection of Col Jos. B. Hutchison,
and the ability with which he
prosecuted the case, against the
proprietors of two so-called hotels
that under successive, different
names have long eXerted a pesti-
lential influence among the young
of both sexes in this city.
The action of the district attorney
and the court in these cases will
have widespread influence in
promoting good order and NOR
ality. IT. will help to quiet the
anxious hearts of many fathers
and mothers. 1t will save some
boys and girls from the path that
leads straight to perdition, and
will help toward providing more
and better food, clothing and
shelter to women and children
now pinched by want"
Now Mr.. Stroups friends are won
