Libel and slander, \u00a7 56 \u2014when publication of libelous matter not privileged. While anything bearing upon the acts of a public officer connected with his office is a legitimate subject of statement and comment, yet the mere fact that a person may be a candidate for office does not create a license or justification of libelous matter to the injury of his character and reputation.\n2. Pleading, \u00a7 200*\u2014what admitted by demurrer to declaration. Material allegations of a declaration are admitted by demurrer.\n3. Libel and slander, \u00a7 102*\u2014what is effect of demurrer to declaration. Averments in a declaration for libel that defendant caused to be published falsely and maliciously in certain newspapers statements that plaintiff, who was a county clerk, had squandered the money of the county, and had made a gift of such money to another newspaper, being material averments, are admitted as true by a demurrer.\nAppeal from the Circuit Court of Ford county; the Hon. George W. Patton, Judge, presiding. Heard in this court at the October term, 1915.\nReversed and remanded with directions.\nOpinion filed April 21, 1916.\nRehearing denied June 30, 1916.\nStatement of the Case.\nAction of libel by L. D. Jackson, plaintiff, against Arthur Stevens, defendant. From a judgment sustaining a demurrer to the declaration, plaintiff appeals.\nSchneider & Schneider, for appellant.\nCloud & Thompson, for appellee.\nSee Illinois Notes Digest, Vols. XI to XV, and Cumulative Quarterly, game topic and section number."
