What has been the result? In the majority of cases the campaigns have degenerated into personal dog-fights. But even the kick-'im-in-the-shins "You're a liar--you're another!" blustering that have resounded in New York are harmless compared to the insidious below-the belt fighting elsewhere. The mass of voters either laugh at an open fight, or they vote against a "knocker"; but they have never read "Brutus is an honorable man" and they do not recognize subtle defamation. The winning of campaigns by such means--and examples abound--is a knock-down blow...
...brief periods of teaching and tutoring. Rolfe wanted to be a Catholic priest; that desire followed him through life. When he was 27 he studied for the priesthood at Oscott College, but was discharged for his unconventional ways, his irresponsibility. He was considered talented, vain, sarcastic, a poseur, a liar. Nevertheless there were those who believed in him. He was given another chance and sent to Rome to study for the priesthood in Scots College.

"Liars! Forgers!" hissed ambitious Conservative Minister André Tardieu, charging the Radical Socialists with complicity in the Stavisky Scandal. "Liar! Cabinet-wrecker!" snarled Radical Socialist Minister Edouard Herriot. "Retract! Resign!" howled both...
...Tardieu called M. Chautemps a liar, an associate of criminals and a forger. He charged him with forging the stub of a Stavisky check for 300,000 francs to make it appear that this sum had been paid to a person called "Tardi," promptly assumed by the Left Press to be Tardieu. For six hours M. Tardieu's scathing attack went on. He produced little or no evidence to support his charges but vilified radical Socialist Leader Chautemps to such an extent as to involve the prestige of the Party and of Boss Herriot. Plainly M. Tardieu was playing...
