Ccatpling and groundless attacks upon Sir Sam

'adxgssed criticisms to him with which no newspaper
ofilcputation or standing would care to have its name
associated. Now, when if finds that the Prime Minis-

Hughes it would like to change its ground and attack
Sir Robert Borden for doing .what it had all along
maintained should ha_`_§iejbe'en done. Sir Sam 1_-Iiighes_
has afforded the Patriot and others of that ilk mate-
rial for attacking the govemment of which he was It
