The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1920-08-26
el Rot! Bunk! Two

Times for its candidates Mr.. NelSOH
;s nure unadulterated political bunk;
and the Times knows it. So do the
neople of Bayfield, county, and that
Is what is worrying Mr.. Robinson
= *,-Capt. Peavey in the Washburn
News. And we might add that
three-thirds of the claims OF the
News for its candidate is in the
same category.
And someone has truthfully said:
ssYou can fool some people all the
time and all ofthe people a part Oh
the time. but you can't fool all OF the
neople all of the time" and this the
News is beginning to learn.
They started out boosting LaFoi-
lette and everything that LaFolletce
ever did-but wait-that was wnen
the News crowd expected to pun
down the LaFollette vote. Bob La
Follettee is one of those fellows that
cannot be fooled all ofthe time and
this is what Bob says: i cannot
recommend Mr.. Peavey as candi-
date for Congress. His record IN
the legislature was not progressive"
And now the candidate expecting the
LaFollette support is as sore as a
boil and the News has marry a
word to say about their dear friend
Robert M. LaFollette.
Captain H. H. Peavey is running
for nomination on the Republican
ticket. and this is what he says about
the Republican party, over his own
signature, in his own newspaper, ana
vet he expects Republican support:
81 am opposed to the Republican
platform because it is absolutely
unfair to labor, a FRAUDULENT attempt
TO hoodwink the farmer, and on the
whole a weasel-worded, lawyer
made instrument, cunningly drawn
to deceive the voters and to keep
and protect all special interests and
privileged few in control of the
government. 3 3 3 = 1 do not believe
the candidate Mr.. Harding is much
better than the platform. / do not
believe that either he or his plat
form represents anything but a
small minority Of the people OF the
limited States. I will sup
port it this fall only under strong
protest"
H. H. PEAVEY"
And we ask if Mr.. Peavey is not
satisfied with the Republican party
or the Republican platform why in
the world don't he get over into the
party in which he belongs and quit
dangling around in the party which
he condemns simply because it offers
a better chance of being elected to
office.
And now going back to the para
graph first quoted from the News:
''Two-thirds of the claims advanced
by the Times for its candidate Mr..
Nelson is pure, unadulterated Poll
teal bunk"
