Two Opinions of J. A. McFarland

BABCOCK ‘The Democrat is opposed to him (McFarland) because he is a disturber, always l)as been and always will be. * * * It is opposed to him because of the many false and misleading statements he has made in an effort to stir up trouble in the democratic camp and bwause of remarks he has made against the Catholics and some of the Catholic organization ”

CITIZEN John Carmichael says: “McFarland is a stalwart and open fighter. He never beats behind the bush. He is one of the eleanest men I have ever known and when Babcock and Honan tried to defeat him for the chairmanship by resorting to methods that* are not honest and not democratic, I could hardly keep my seat to speak in his defense. An open convention named him for chairman and the opposition to him was wholly of Babcock and Honan inspiration.”
