TOR gall unrefned, boO1e-sOak-

assininity, PrussianiDed milit-
ancy, preyaricating insinuaCOn and
half baked innuendo. commend US To
the bill OF particulars, or alleged bill
OF particulars, presented TO the st.
Joseph county public yesterday, a.
To why Congressman Henry A. Barn
hart should be defeated in his cam
paign for reelection 20 congress.
IL Is presented as OF a Tribune
Special service" under n Washington
date line, IL Is true, but that Is mis-
leading only 20 the uninitiated. 10 Is
republican congressional campaign
dope, pure and simple, with the date
line employed merely 10 shirk the
newspapers personal responsibility,
but that line Tribune special scr
vice" doesn't shirk the responsibility.
ON the contrary IL apprOpriates IL,
and tho socaIied bill OF particulars
accordingly becomes It's bill OF par
ticulars, the manner of presentation
Obyiating all the rules for the proper
presentation OF news as news,--but
this aside
In the editorial column Of the
same paper, same issue. where the
voice OF a newspaper Is properly
spoken. the socalled special scrv-
ice" article from Washington Is in
dOrsed.
All dIsgulscs therefore are torn
aside, and. Mr.. Voter, you are face
that the republicans intend TO wage
I'm St. Joseph county and the 18th
district,-anythlng To elect . repub-
Iican member OF the next congress.
NURING the Fourth Liberty Bond
- sale-the volunteer" drive
the conscience" campaign. we dedI-
Gated this column To the cause be-
cause VIC believed q deserved t.
Whether We aided I'm the movement,
much or little. we did our best and
-"angels could do no more"
I'm the face Of the above attack,
unwarrantod. hypOcritiCal, and pre-
variCating. as made upon Congress
man Barnhart, we feel about the
Same towards IL as VIC did toward
the Hun I'm the prosecution Of the
Liberty loan.
Until the last ballot is cast. there
fore. we shall dedicate this space
thnt money cannot buy. to prevent
the induction into congress OF any
man from the 18th district. who Will
resort to or acquiesce I'm such cam
paign methods.
World politics. our international
complications. and = harmonious
war administration, nrc as essential
to the successful conduct and con-
clusiOn OF this war. as any other
element that enters into Il, Liberty
Bonds inclusive. hence IL IL to us
just another conscience" drive n
quite equal call for patriotic CO.
represents us.
The assault, the untruthful,-mis-
Icadingly vcilcd and insinuativc,-
assault madc upon Congressman
Barnhnrt's record. presenting what
would be made TO appear as all
blackneSs, and nothing bright, Is all
the evidence one needs that Mr..
Andrew Jackson Hickey h not
aVcrsC 10 going into congress under
false coIors. and if that Il his caIibrc
nothing that ne can say need be
tnkcn at its face value.
We viii begin with one little piece
OF hypocrisy OF 50 much local signif-
Cance that exposure Of 1t will throw
a. goodly light on all the rest. right
from the start.
II YPOCRISY! Yes. that Is the
4 1 word, coming as IL dOes from
a newspaper and political organ
which. in the same issue. and back
shrough the weeks. has been playing
she role Of particular picty with the
very subject involved. Get this as
one Of the reasons given by this
prince of hypOcritCs. as 60 why Con-
..rce-man Barnhart should not be
reelected TO congress:
"In the second session Of the 65th
congress Mr. Barnhart voted for the
Joint resolution submitting consti-
tutiunal amendment to the states for
national prohibition.
Understand. That is from the
south Bend Tribune pointing out TO
u- how the "NOlC~ OF II. \. Barn
art'' arc index to war feeling" and
ave been opposed Go president"
t'ic -lmc south Bend Tribune, rcpub-
Team organ. that l. making ~ much
l,c'.- because lOCal democratic can
srdatcs for thC legislature do not
ulcdgc themselves to vote for the
ratification of thnt amendment.
And add this:
I'm the second session of the 65th
congress Mr. Barnhnrt voted for the
Randall amendment Co the food sur
Ney enabling hili prov idtng for war
time prohibition
Can you beat 10 for hypocrisy?
Neither is that all. Get this-balm
iOr the women:
In thr second session of the e5th
congress Mr. Harndart voted in favor
of the adoption OF the constitution
80 amendment for woman suffrage"
n Congressman Barnhart should
De- defeated on account Of these
votes. tIsn as-urcdly local demo-
cratic candidates for the legislature.
