Some Poison Dope
From Brundidge
Headquarters
We notice the Hon. Samuel
M. Casey, a very distinguished
lawyer of Batesville published
quite a lengthy advertisement
in the Batesville Guard last
week in which he severely crit
icised Senator Joe T. Robinson
for touring the state in the in
terest of the Third Liberty
Loan.
The Honorable Mr. Casey
makes the point that because
Senator Robinson is a candi
date for re-eletcion, it is an un
pardonable crime for the sena
tor to make speeches for the
Liberty Loan.
Jf Mr. Casey would be con
sistent, why did he not include
in his criticism his distingush
ed kinsman Prosecuting Attor
ney Earle C. Casey, who is also
a candidate for re-election and
who has made a few patriotic
speeches
And what about Governor
Brough? The governor is a
candidate for re-election and
he has turned his office over to
his private secretary and is
devoting his entire time to
making a tour of the state,
making speeches in the interest
of the Liberty Loan. We have
heard no criticism of the gov
ernor from Mr. Casey. If Mr
Casey is sincere and desires to
be consistent in his “protest”
why overlook such a shining
mark as our brillant governor,
whose silver-tongued oratory
has been heard almost across
the continent and has resound
ed into the remotest corners of
the state?
Then there is Mr. Casey’s
fellow townsman, Judge Dene
H. Coleman, who is a candidate
for re-election, and who has
done yeoman service for the
government in making speech
es in this and in other counties
in the interest of the Liberty
Loan. Judge Coleman came
to Newark recently and made
one of the most inspiring and
patriotic speeches ever heard
in the town- He has made a
number of other speeches in
the county in behalf of the gov
ernment and the Liberty Loan,
and has won the plaudits of his
countrymen. Why does not
Mr. Casey turn his big gun on
Judge Coleman?
Simply because he knows
that all these men, Senator
Robinson included, are render
ing a patriotic service to their
country in making speeches in
the interest of the Liberty
Loan.
But Mr. Casey thought that
by pointing out Senator Robin
son as a “horrible example”
and by injecting a little poison
into the matter, he could mis
lead a few people and create
some prejudice against Senator
Robinson.
The real facts are that Mr.
Casey is supporting Mr. Brun
didge for Senator and he
thought he saw an opportunity
to spread some poison and help
Mr. Rrundidge. Poison is Mr.
Brundidge’s main issue in the
campaign and it is almost in
variably true that wherever
you find a strong Rrundidge
man, you find him doping out
poison, just as Mr. Casey is
doing.
Mr. Brundidge has the same
opportunity to make speeches
in the interest of the Liberty
Loan that Senator Robinson
has, or that Gov. Brough has,
or Judge Coleman, or the thou
sands of other patriotic pubjie
men who are doing this all over
the country. But because Mr.
Brundidge has become such a
confirmed knocker and is so
full of venom that he can’t
make a speech FOR ANY
THING but has to take the
negative side and be AGIN
something or somebody in or
der to make a speech at all—
that’s a mighty poor excuse
for eondeming the live booster;1
who are willing to roll up their
sleeves and go out and DO
SOMETHING for their govern
ment.
Of course Mr. Brundidge
can’t be criticised for making
speeches for the Liberty Loan,
for the very good reason that
he has made none. His friends
may be able to get some satis
faction out of this fact, and so
far as The Journal is concern
ed they are welcome to all the
satisaction they can get out of
it. But so far as this paper is
concerned, we do not propose
to remain silent while Mr.
Brundidge and his followers
dope out their poison in an ef
fort to prejuice the minds of
the people against the loyal
and patriotic public men who
are doing their best to uphold
the hands of our government
in its war on autocracy, depot
ism and barbarism.
You may cuss this paper as
much as you want to, but The
Journal is for Senator Robinson
and Congressman Oldfield be
cause. since America entered
the war they have loyally and
consistently stood by President
Wilson in every instance where
our country’s welfare has been
at stake, and have rendered
loyal and unselfish service.
Our country is at war and it'
is no time to turn out tried and
true men merely to gratify the
personal ambitions of aspiring
politicians.
The industrious man has his
good points but you have prob
ably noticed that he is not
often as good a talker as the
loafer.
Uncle Carranza must be get
ting mighty impatient waiting
for Germany to keep her prom
ise and deliver Texas to him.
Don’t Stop Buying
Liberty Bonds.
On the east wall of the
Methodist church at this place
there hangs a beautiful red
and white silk service ilag. In
the white space of this Hag
there are nineteen blue stars.
This little flag is only a re
minder to the many persons
who attend church services
there that each of these stars
represents a young man who
has gone from this community
to tight for them.
And this flag does not rep
resent every one that has gone
or that is in the service of
the United States Government
either at the front “somewhere
in France” or in the various
training camps of the coun ’O
preparing to go “over there
Perhaps your sun is n0
among the number, or perhaps
you have no son, but they are
some mother’s son, some, lath
er’s son, and they hold just as
dear a place in the hearts ol
their loved ones as youi own
son does.
Soon, perhaps, most of these
boys will be going “over the
Lop” for liberty and the things
that make life worth the living.
They are fighting our oattles
tor democracy, in order to
make the world a decent plac
in which tu live, a place vhtit
right is held more sacred than
might.
These boys are going to win
—they must win. For them to
kvin it is going to require your
vhole-hearted support. They
nust be equipped, they must
have ships to take them, and t >
transport their food across.
Your government is making it
possible that not onl> these
young men of military age will
have all the honors of victory,
but YOU, as well, may play a
mighty part in the bringing <>t
a successful conclusion this
struggle for democracy.
Enough has been said
through the columns of this
paper and other papers that
you should be thoroughly ac
quainted with Liberty Bonds.
What Uncle Sam wants you
to do is to invest in these Lib
erty Bonds, in order that you,
too. may have a shun in the
victory and triumph of right
over might.
