CALDWELL'S SOB STUFF"
PROVES BOOMERANG

To Clayton News, Clayton, N. NJ.
Gentlemen.
Will you kindly print the follow
ing letter in your paper of this
week:
We eX-seryice men have been re-
celVlngletters from the Republican
Central Committee of Union cOun-
ty IN which we are highly flattered
and urged to vote for Mr.. C.. C..
Caldwell for County Clerk and Mr.
Harry ScarlOtt for County Assessor
In our opinion Mr.. Caldwell and
MI. Scarlott did a very bad thing
when they placed the management
OF their campaign i'm the hands OF
men inexperienced in the handling
ul men, The men who served i'm the
Army. Marines, Navy, or other
branches of the service are MEN
and not children. Therefore they
can not be pampered, .lattered and
buliyragged into doing things like the
republican Central COmmitte think
they can. That old sob stuff hand
ed out by the Republican Central
Committee IN their second letter
lalls To make even the slightest inn
preston upon an eX-serVice man,
for a man who would fall for such
as was contained in the letter above
mentioned did not belong in the SER
wee but IN a nursery or school for
"sister-boys
Many men who were either too
old or who were not physically able
tO 20 into the service are going 10
vote for Mr. Frank G. Casados for
County Clerk, and for Mr.. Fred L.
Van Pelt for for County Assessor on
account of the "mud-slinging" cam
paign being carried on by the Re
publican Central Committee. when
otherwise they would have voted
for Caldwell and Scarlott. We ex-
service men are going to do the same
thing, regardless of our political be-
llcfS, and We do moi believe that we
are alone in the matter and that
many Of our comrades will do like
wise. Therefore the politician Of
the future should take warning at
the great mistakes made by the Re
publican Central Committee and be-
ware, for mollycOdles do not come
under the head of SERVICE
MEN.

HAVE YOU CONTRIBUTED To-
WARD DEMOCRATIC Sue
CESS

When the committee called upon
you for q contribution TO the DEM
Ocraiic campaign fund, did you kick
in?
It takes money to finance, pOlit-
ical campaign and the republicans
have plenty of it.
This being one of the most i'm
portant battles ever waged between
the two major parties nationally, IL
behOONeS the democratic voters TO
sea to il that the campaign is not
,hampered by lack of funds. Every
AOter is able 30 contribute a small
amount and a small amount from
each one is all that is necessary to
swell the total TO sufficient proper
tiOns to guarantee victory.
We must not be content to believe
in national democratic victory, but
also we want to use our best ef-
fort toward success in the state and
county Nor is it sufficient TO back
fthe democratic party with our vote.
Each true democratic will do this.
Bat il is also necessary lO make
ID possible for our national state
and county committees To perform
The proper work in behalf of the
party to insure success. The com
&nitiees are working hard furnish
ing information 10 the voters TO
Keep them enlightened upon every
subject which bears upon the is
issues before the public Huge sums
are being expended in this very nec-
esssary line of publicity. but if each
democratic viii contribute only a
small amount 10 the national state
and county fund we may rest as
Ssured that the work will be we'll
done. and we viii have nothing TO
regret after the election is over.
~ you have not contributed, do
upt hesitate. but give all you feel
justified in giving, now, while the
need is great.

Dear Sir:

Editor Clayton News.
Dear Sir:
Some malicious person or persons
passed the Otto schOOlhouse last
Tuesday, the nineteenth, and with
evil intention to do harm shot and
killed a childs big Newfoundland
dog. This dog was as harmless as "a
child. a good natured animal. and
was entrusted with the care OF the
children TO and from their way LO
school. All the children loved "Old
King and he was a general gaVOrite.
As a dog of value he was almost
priceless to the owner. The party
who did the shooting was going
west on the highway. If there is
law to prohibit people carrying guns
and firing them i'm front of school
buildings where we send our little
ones 10 school. why i'm the name OF
that LAW is il not enforced? Fur
thereniOre. why have we so much
gun-play by parties riding through
the open country where our lives
are in daily peril?
| will find the guilty parties and
bring them To justice if H. takes me
the rest of my life 10 do so. The dog
was cOWardly killed within ten feet
of the children and where all their
horses were tied II our children
can not have a harmless dog b. fol-
low them TO school without the dog
being shot in their innocent sight.
and If our public highways are to
be converted into targets for any
and every lOw-dOwn hound that de-
lights in killing, then ! am ready tg
take my children elsewhere 10 rear
and educate.

SENATOR HARDING WANTS TO
LOSE ALL THIS

LOSE ALL HIS
Senator Lee Pittman of Nevada
was asked today as 10 what. in his
opinion, would be the financial and
economic effect in the United States
If this country failed to go into the
League of Nations, 10 which he re-
piled:
"In the treaty with Germany.
known as the pPussian treaty. it was
agreed that in the event of war be-
tween the two countries. the ma
tiOnals of each country should have
one year in which 30 depart and 10
remove their property out of the
enemy country. During the war our
government not only cOnfisCaled all
Of the German ships i'm our ports.
but confiscated about one billion
dollars worth of property in the
United States owned by German sub
iects.
"In the recent treaty of peace,
which embraces the Covenant of
the League of Nations. Germany
has submitted to this confiscatiOn.
and waived all rights lO further OBJ
lection. If we do not ratify this
treaty, we abandon this agreement
on the part of Germany.
In attempting to make a sepa-
rate treaty with Germany. as is
proposed by Mr. Harding, what in
ducemenl could we offer Germany
To make a similar agreement i'm the
new treaty2 The present treaty
was forced upon Germany by VictO-
riOus armies. No such condition
would exist if we had now to ne
gotiate a separate treaty with Ger
many Z nder the present treaty
Germany is compelled to pay for
damages done to our citizens prior
To our entry into the war. This
agreement was also forced upon
Germany.
"lf we abandon the present treaty
and ati uipl IT, eutcr lHir Z; cW
one. how can we force sucn con-
cessiOn on the part of Germany
Under the treaty Of peace, Germany
rs compelled to pay certain indem
mites to our allies In the war and
it is with this money that our allies
in part expect to pay JheF debts
OF US.
Senator Harding speaks OF enter
ing into some other concert of ma
tiOns after he has made a separate
! peace with Germany. He fails To-
state that the league of nations is
! an inscparable part of the present
peace treaty The League of Ma
! tiOns was organized in part, for the
/ purpose of compelling Germany tO
pay thes indemnitics and as an in
| strument for the enforcement Of the
other obligations undertaken by
Germany under The treaty.
There are at present thirty-fOur
nations that have ratified the treaty
/ of peace with Germany and are act
! ing through the League of Nations
| There can not be two Leagues of
Nations. and the thirty-four nations
| that are now members of the pres
ent League of Nations could not
lenter into another concert of ma
tions without abandoning the pres
ent one. They could not abandon
! the present one without making an
other treaty of peace with Germa-
| ny. These nations are not so foolish
as to attempt, at this time. to enter
into a new treaty Of peace with Ger
many.
These are some of the reasons
/ that have urged business men tC
! favor the early ratification of the
peace treaty.
II consider the political. moral and
/ social reasons why we should enter

CERTAINLY-NOT


Last weeks Clayton Citizen asks
the question. as the kettle any
blacker than the pOt?'
We answer-cerlainly not b ut we
must not get the pot and the kettle
mixed too badly-even the republl-
ran prOpagandist can not afford TO
do This.
And this is what it is all about:
The Citizen states that there is no
ground for believing that Mr.. Han-
ners will not make as good law and
order sheriff as Mr.. Roberts would
make. because they are both depu-
ties under Mr. Sutton.
II is true that Mr.. Roberts is dep
uty sheriff under Mr.. sutton He is
"A pistol deputy down in his pre-
Cinct and has about a. much au-
thority in Clayton or in other pre-.
cincis as a preacher huS in hades
Mr.. Hammers is also deputy un-
9der Mr. sutton Tie is SIR. SuttOns
chef deputy. or under sheriff, ami
has the privilege of exercising the
same authority as the sheriff.
There is slight difference IN
this pot and kettle
n We answer another question of
The Citizen by stating that Mr.. Rob
erts is not and can not be response
BILE for the administration of Mr..
sutton, as Is Mr.. Hammers, for the
reasons stated abOve-lack of au-
shortly.
AS for Mr.. Roberts supporting Mr..
Sutton for the office of sheriff two
years ago, he does not deny that
such is the case.
To state the case plainly, Mr.. Sut-
ton was sheriff of Union county in
19i7-i9iS. The United States was at
war, and as sheriff he was chairman
of the Council of Defense. Like many
another democrat and republican
during those strenuous times when
the war was the paramount issue,
Mr.. Roberts placed the country s
welfare before partisanship. He did
sdliS bit in contributing toward the
Vocal organizations success. As sher-
iff Mr. Sutton was familiar with The
councils business, and was better
prepared to execute its duties than
new officer would have been Mr.
Roberts voted TO keep in the office.
The general public is familiar
win the conditions which now eX-
list in Clayton and other points in
Union county Mr. Roberts does not
single out any particular law and
SprOmise his supporters that it shall
be enforced, but promises to enforce
all the laws just as he finds them
presented
Mr.. Hammers is at present under
sheriff with practically the same
i authority as the sheriff Mr. Rob-
erts is at present deputy sheriff
with no authority outside of his
precinct.
There's a difference. Think it over
