The guests at the fest will be
treated 10 fruit and other innocent
looking things on the menu. while
the arsenic squad" approaches the
beer from a thoughtful, tactful,
prudent and practical viewpoint"
Wen get 'em good and soused
and keep 'em that way until it's
too late TO vote" is the vice gangs
slogan.
Poisoned Cup for Voters.
Washington hall is situated in the
third ward. a democratic stronghold,
hence the attempt 10 pass the pois-
oned cup.
This will conclude the beer tests
which were opened by Sullivan at
the Billy Myers saloon or the east
side a few weeks ago in behalf of
throughout the city.
In sharp contrast 10 the conclu-
sion Of the so-called republican par
tvs campaign, the democrats have
arranged TO have the Hon. Harry A.
Engman, jr., secretary of the war
trades board at Washington, and
some OF the most prominent bust
ness men and lawyers Of South Bend
close the fight waged against the
vice element in behalf of Rudolph
Ackermann. candidate for mayor,
subject 10 the will Of the people al
large.
Double Dealing OF G.. o. Il.
From the moment Joe Sullivan an
nounced the candidacy of Carson at
the Myers saloon until the present,
the alleged republican party OF
South Bend has appealed in every
way, shape and manner, BETTING the
occasion. To the voters of the first,
fifth and seventh wards, these So
called republicans have sought to
besmirch and undermine Mr.. Acker-
mann's character by insinuating that
the latter was unpatriotic. AS proof
they pointed to his name denoting
German ancestry.
To the voters OF the second and
sixth wards, and especially TO citi-
zens OF Hungarian birth, the "ar-
senic squad" operating under the
financial patronage OF Sullivan and
Barrett, has asked for votes because:
G.. O. II. Attacks Wilson.
''Mr. Ackermann is a democrat.
Pres't Wilson is a democrat. There
fore leave Ackermann in the soup
because he belongs to the party
which declared war on Germany"
A. =. Martin was the first person
10 publicly announce that the Car
son gang had espoused unpatriotic
war against Ackermann because Of
his German name. Martin made
this statement at the River park
school house.
Then the two Toms, Slick and
Mott, appeared on the front step Of
foreground passa geways, and yowled
their slogan: "Ackermann is IF
military age"
Gotham Mayor 81 Years Old.
Mr.. Ackermann is 80 years Of age,
one year younger than John Purroy
Mitchell. the present incumbent Of
the mayors office in New York. and
declared 10 be the popular candi-
date FOR reelection.
Track elevation appeared 70 be an
issue of the campaign but when the
IL
statement that nothing could stop
track elevation in South Bend in
view of the fact that sufficient funds
had already been accumulated for
this task" with data secured from
the city hall the vice gangs and
the lambs skulked and scampered
down another alley of vituperation
and insidiousness.
Not one of these singing at
lacks have been made upon Mr.. Ack-
ermann, but what the so-called re-
pubHcans in their speeches have pre-
faced their remarks with something
about the campaign being a dirty
affair."
Martin. Chief "GiIlie."
But it remained for Martin TO
complete Carson's armor. of as many
colors as Joseph's coat, with the
following statement:
IF these men, who have not al
ways led upright lives, prefer DR.
Carson for mayor. alright" This
plea Of confession and avoidance
before the bar Of public opinion was
not sanctioned by the keepers of
the hole in the wall on K. Jefferson
blvd. styled Republican Head
quarters"
The democratic party headed by
Mr.. Ackermann and including men
such as Dan Pyle, answering de-
fender of clean government in South
Bend Mr.. Engman; G.. a. Fara-
baugh; Prosecutor Chester Il. Mont
gomery. and others who have stood
at the forefront in the promotion Of
better civic conditions here. have
forged straight ahead toward their
goal since Mr.. Ackermars2 issued his
platform and promises to the public
ten DAYS before Carson was finally
smoked out" by the press and
