LIEBEL AT CLOSE RANGE,
Under the editorial title ‘ Disrupt-
ing the Btate Democracy,” The Times
of Erie gives a close hand-to-hand
view of Michael Liebel, upon whom
the Democra‘'ic bipartisans have een
tered to hand the party over to Pen-
rose, Mr. Liebel is a resident of Erle,
His public and political career is
known by his fellow-citizens, so that
the following comment is important :
There may be parts of the state re-
mote from Erie, and in which little
is known about Michael Liebel,
where flowery ealogies of the con-
gressman might go unchallenged
and unsuspected, but the people of
this corner are not to be deceived by
the disruptionist propaganda of the
Evening Herald, The Herald is
heart and soul for Liebel and for
that reason it could not be expected
to get very close to the truth in ate
tactiog even ne great a man in the
emocracy of Pennsylvania as A.
Mi chell Palmer.
Mr. Palmer is, and has always been,
the staunch supporter of President
Wilson. He fought for him on the
floor of the Bsitimore convention
while Liebel and his following were
just aes strenuously opposi his
nomination, He is openly for him
today when Liebel and those identi-
fled with Liebel would be opposed if
they dared.
I'he people of Erie know full well
what Liebel stands for, I'he Demo-
cratic voters of the state ought to
know and probably they will find
out before long. A. Mitchell Palmer
stands for clear, high-standard
things in the Democratic party of
the state, He has done so well to
not only maintain the dignity and
the purity of hie party but to elevate
it if possible that no one up in this
neck of the woods is at all surprised
to find Liebel and the Herald fight
ing him.
It is not a question of Palmer and
Morris and other state leaders of the
party failing to discharges their
duties to the entire satisfaction of
the better elements of the Democ-
racy ; it is the questi n of whether
the questionable element, in which
Liebe] sees himself the rising star,
will have to stand for the better
things which the rea! leaders have
given to the party. Liebel plays the
roll of the disruptiovist and the
Herald a) plauds,
Erie people know Liebel’s psst rec-
ord too well to take him seriously
when he talks about hermony snd
things of that sort which have
never been diecovered, even in the
minutest form, in his political make-
ap. Suey know that he deserted
the regular Democratic candidate
for sherift in his own county to suy-
port Frank Laird and only the feet
that the miserable trick was dis
covered by enough Republicans to
more than offset his scheme brought
about the eleciion of the present
incumbent of that office, Ask the
regular Demociatic nominees for
sheriff at the last three sheriff elec-
tions who Liebel supported! Itis u
long list of staunch Democrats in
Erie who have feit the point of
Liebel’s political dirk. Asa matter
of fact, Democratic candidates for
congress from this district and
Democratic candidates for important
county offices during the past ten
years know what sort of a harmo ny
worker Liebel is. Few, if any, of
of them ever received his support,
As a disorganizer he hiss a marvelogs
reputation for one #0 young and to
assume the role of harmony and
rush to the front shouting his will
ingness to martyr himself that the
Democracy of the state might not
crumble in the dust is seriously ree
ceived only in the office of the
Herald,
Ip the internal organization of the
affairs of the state Democracy The
Times has no interest further than
to challenge any such statements as
uttered by the Herald of last night
and to call to the attention of the
Democratic voters of this section the
acharacter and intentions of the two
men, Palmer and Liebel, It ought
not to be very hard for any voter
who stands for decency to make a
selection,
In the light of these revelations, as
The Times says, ** it ought not be very
hard for any voter who stands for
decency (0 make a selection.”
