Drummond, president OF the local

Mr.. Ackermann hammered home

Believe i'm Women.
Mr. Drummond stated that he
had supported woman suffrage as

" Col Joe sullivan has issued 2
statement pointing out that Car
son represents his ideas Of
American citizenship said Mr..
Drummond. and quoted Carson's
statement IN which he states that
platform in which the republican
candidate for mayor declares that
he will approach vice conditions
from a thoughtful, tactful, pru-
dent. and practical viewpoint"
why deal with vice %---s = tact
fur Viewpoint" asked Mr.. Drum
mond. If a burglar entered your
house and you covered up your
head, you would be approaching
him from a 'tactful' viewpoint. But
if you went after him with a gun,
you would probably eliminate him.
Doesn't this thoughtful. tactful,
and practical viewpoint of Carson's
afford a big hole in the tent for
Joe sullivan TO sneak through and
occupy a seat right down near the
orchestra?
Beware of Buzzards.

campaign on Nov. 9Th"
Mr.. Drummond concluded with
the statement that the machine re-
publicans of South Bend and the
republican organ opposed Grant
Manning for mayor at the primaries
because they could not control him.
What credit does a man receive
from this e. o. p. organ?' asked
Mr. Drummond for rendering
honest public service"
III DOC Carson dld not expect
heart broken mothers in this city.

the public that he would not stand
for the support Of Joe Sullivan and
the fraternity ne represents.

wailing the loss Of their husbands
earnings over the tables which such
men operate. What is Doc Car
son going TO say when they come to
him. if he is elected mayor, and
ask him for aid in eliminating this
vice? What is Carson going TO say
TO the father and mother who in
form him of houses of ill-fame
near school houses or near their
homes?
