DEMOCRATIC
ENDORSEMENT
FOR MR. STROUP
Organ of Democrats in Dau
phin County "Heartily Com
mends" Him as Dist. Atty.
FEARLESS IN OFFICE
Put Liquor Law Violators Out
of Business and Drove Out
Loan Sharks
The inconsistency of the Demo
cratic campaign now being waged
against Michael E. Stroup, for re-elec
tion as district attorney, Is clear>y
shown by the fact that when there
was no political advantage to be gain
ed the Democrats openly endorsed
Stroup's course in the district at
torney's office.
They did not do this merely in
private, but the Patriot, generally
recognized as the mouthpiece of the
Democratic bosses in this county, not
once, but repeatedly approved the
course of Mr. Stroup in the conduct of
his office.
In the issue of Monday, December
15, 1913, when it was not known that
Stroup would be a candidate for re
election and when therefore the
Patriot felt free to express its true at
titude toward him, that newspaper In
a leading editorial said:
"District Attorney Michael E.
Stroup Is to be heartily commend
ed by the people of Harrisburg
and Dauphin county, on the earn
est and effective manner in which
he presented to the court the
evidence gathered by him and the
police department under the di
rection of Col. Jos. B. Hutchison,
and the ability with which he
prosecuted the case, against the
proprietors of two so-called hotels
that under successive, different
names have long exerted a pesti
lential Influence among the young
of both sexes in this city. » « •
The action of the district attorney
and the court in these cases will
have a widespread influence in
promoting good order and mor
ality. Iti will help to quiet the
anxious hearts of many fathers
and mothers. It will save some
boys and girls from the path that
leads straight to perdition, and
will help toward providing more
and better food, clothing and
shelter to women and children
now pinched by want."'
Now Mr. Stroup's friends are won-
