An Honorable Campaign
To The Democratic Voters Of
The Third Judicial District:


The Third Judicial District:
After the appointment of Hon.
Francis D. Winston Judge by
Governor Craig, | took charge of
Judge Winston's campaign and
have since done what | could to
promote his interests. | havestead-
lily adhered to this rule laid down
by him; not to say nor do any
thing that would in the remOtest
possibility reflect on his opponent
or upon any one who opposed
him. | defy any man to show
that either | or any friend of
Judge Winston have varied in
the least from those instructions.
We have conducted a clean and
honorable campaign.
regret, however, to say that,
for the past week, letters have
come to me, giving detailed in
formation of time and place of
the most reprehensible methods
used and slanderous statements
made against Judge Winston in
a few localities about the District.
| will not go further into them in
this letter. | leave those who
have made them to answer at
that bar of conscience which
later will lash every man who
does another an intentional
wrong. have no concern with
the author of those methods or
with those who assist in them. |
do have a concern with those
highminded and fairminded
voters who condemn such meth
DDS both in political warfare and
in private life and who believe in
fair play and are willing to work
to see fair play obtained. | ask
that the Democratic voters of
this District condemn such meth
DDS in the approaching primary.
When this campaign ends and
Judge Winston is nominated, he
will be greatly sustained by the
knowledge that he has done no act
and spoken no word nor author
lied either to be used to the hurt
of any mans character or Demo-
cracy anywhere in this District.
He has never wanted to rise by
the unfair or unjust defeat of
any human being. With the
passing days, the people have
been giving the matter of select
ing their candidate for Judge in
this District that serious concern
which its importance demands.
they are doing so, the
sentiment in favor of nominating
Judge Winston has grown daily s
and strongly. He has nothing {
% fear from q proper considera- {
ion of this most important mat l
er. His best campaign is the t
.haracter he has established as a |
highly useful public and private I
itizen. He fears no criticism; Y
lie shuns no truth; he respects b
lonoroble opposition. urge v
he Democratic voters of the Il
District to attend the primary on t
september 9th and to support h
i'm with their votes and in a
uence. | ..am sure | do not p
eed to urge the Importance of II
aving an able Judge. Every q
IAN who considers life and lt
knows that Il
The reports from all parts of 5
he District are most fattering, q
nd confidently predict Judge c.
nomination by q large q
lajority. Il

Native Hyphens.

To EDITOR or THE SuN-St~. The
campaign against hyphenism has not
been impartial, II has been directed
solely against the hyphenate Of foreign
birth and has taken no account Of the
activities Of the potentially more dan
serous native horn hyphenAa
We have a SINAI but extremely infu-
entail element made up OF men who not
only were born In this country but who
can trace back their American ancestry
for some generations, Yet who by their
devotion to the land from which their
ancestors came give ground for the sus-
picion that that European country holds
n place In their affections above the
land OF their birth.
Without ceasing TO aght against
hyphentsm among our foreign born cit!-
zens, would It not he well to direct Just
a little effort toward the task Of maxi
ing "unadulterated" Americans Of the

The New italian Ministry.

The formation of n strong Cabinet

tire nation is evidently proving a for
midable task for the new Italian Pre-
mier, PAoLo BossEILr. II, as has been
indicated. Baron SoNNINo. Minister

ROME, Minister OF War. are to be re-
tanned. the retiring Salandra Ministry
will be represented ny two Of It's
ahlest members.
Tho crisis that brought about the
fall Of the Sa,andra Cabinet was the
natural result OF the recent reverses
along the Isonzo. The other warning
nations have had similar experiences;
and the demand for n Ministry that
would bring forward the strongest
ard ablest men of all parties produces
IN Italy "A situation not unlike that In
England at the time of the formation
OF the present coalition Chbinet.
The italian policy. as puzzling to
the people themselves as to the out
side world. has been difficult for any
Ministry TO carry ont to success. War
on Austria alone. ana that only for
the purpose Of increasing Italy's ter
ritory. while maintaining peace with
Germany, has made Italian aid an
uncertain factor in any concerted
action Of the Allies. Some Of the
Italian campaigns have been skilfrllly
conducted and the soldiers have been
distinguished for their bravery, yet
the Italians have met some severe
reverses. They have lost strong
holds once controlled on the Adriatic
coast, abandoned much Of Albania
and heen driven back from the Isonzo
front. These have been the disturb
ing features OF their campaigns that
have caused loss Of faith in the Min
istry ana demand for a change.
There Is no reason 10 believe that
the new Ministry will alter the
Italian policy; war with Germany
would from purely economic reasons
be unpopular and n more general PAR
ticlpation in the val would no he
favored by the nation. The result
will be rather To carry out with more
energy than she has heretofore shown
the policy that the italian Govern
ment has already adopted.
