I'm THE USUAL WAY"

The Republican leaders have launched character
istc campaign against Dr. D. Whteaker the Democratic
nominee for State Senator Dr. Whteakers life has been
big plane of good citizenship that they knew
would be useless to try to attack his character so with
Mephsopheian cunning they attempt to misead the peo
pie as to what Dr. Whteaker advocated and favored n
the Senate.
The have set aAoat tissue of fasehoods concerning
him that born in the frenzy OF dispair These false
hoods are not even reasonable
One of the transparent falsehoods is that he favored
i'll in the Legislature to compel all bodies of dead peo
PIE to be cremaed There was never such bill or resolu
ton introduced in the Legislature, and the first ntmatOn
of any such thing the lie that set aoat to nue
DR.. Whiteaker.
Another one was that he favored bill to prevent the
country merchants from selling drugs and medicines
which never even considered by the Legislature
Still not content with that they start it that DIR. Whit
tried to have the fees of doctor fixed by law and that
favored law to make it more difficult for young
10 obtain medical diplomas
All the above was false and none of the alleged bills
were ever considered in the Legislature.
The Senate Journal shows that during the war DR..
Whieaker introduced resolution nquirng whether or
the medical college could not make the examinations
tile easier in order to supply the unusual demand for
physicians during the war; and that is just the opposite
what his opponents say.
To set at rest and to refute the fasehoods that are
being circulated DR.. Whteaker made and published the
following affidavit though the charges were preposer
Gus that it scarcely needed denial.

JD WHITAKER
Subscribed and sworn to before me by J. D
Whiteaker, this the 18th day of October, 1921.
Rem F. NICKEIL
Clerk Morgan County Court
No Democrat is afraid for the public and private life
of Dr. Whteaker to be compared with that of his op
ponent Mr. Grain, and there are those Of Dr. Wheaker
supporters who would like to see the life history of the
two men in parallel columns.
But Dr. Whiteaker win without descending tt
the level of personalities indulgng in the mud sngnl
game His own merit as private citizen and as public
official is all he needs to win. ve
The methods of campaigning by the Republican,
show how desperate they consider the situation Will
the Democrats all over the district alert and conden
that Dr. Whteaker will win by than the usual ma
joriy in the district, which is more than 1000.
the Couriers advice is worth anything to the othe
side, we might remind them that people who live il
glass houses should not throw stones"
