Roth News.
Arthur Milloy of Omemee, in last
weeks "News" wrote that in his re-
cent debate with T. D. Acheson the
latter gentleman stated that it cost
several million dollars in the motor
ious Judge Cowan case several years
ago. But Mr.. Milloy did not in the
debate deny that statement. W. as
sumo that he had to go home and ask
his neighbors about it before he
knew whether or not it was true. Mr..
Milloy also forgot to include in his
letter to the "News" several facts
which the public will undoubtedly be
interested in. He forgot to mention
how he characterized the American
working people all as I. w. WIS. He
forgot to tell how he insinuated that
Nonpartisan league members were
rebels; how he claimed that public
ownership was class legislation while
his own thirteen member league plat
form declares in favor, of public own
ership of public utilities as follows:
"We favor the erection by the state
of flour mills, grain elevators and
cold storage and packing plants"
and last but not least he failed to
tell how he was small enough to
charge the local Red Cross branch
with his expenses, tho he knew that
beneficial organization was to receive
the entire receipts of the debate. With
such an example of patriotism held
up before US we are moved to assert
that there is about as much true AM
erican love for democracy in the sys-
tenn of MI. Milloy as there is man.
