A “REIGN OF TERROR.”
Only when a man becomes des-
perate will he resort to a policy
of persecution under a guise of,
prosecution.
There has been started in Buf- j
falo what may well be termed a
“lawsuit campaign” or a "Reign
of Terror.” This “lawsuit cam-
paign” is designed to intimidate
the local press and to "put to
sleep” he who would dare cham-
pion a cause antagonistic t o
the game. He, who would dare
proclaim his opinions on matters
of public concern is warned to be
silent or be damned —by the law-
suit route. Opposition is tyranny
and i s frowned upon b y the
