Detroit, Mich, April 5-The st. Louis
bribery disclosures was the subject Of an
address delivered yesterday by James l..
Blair OF St Louis. general counsel Tor the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition Company,
before the National Municipal League.
which is In session here.
Mr.. Bialr'S address dealt with the history
and the prosecution OF the famous -. Louis
Doodle cases.. as a result cf which thirty
nine persons, both bribe gives aud trIbe-
takers. have been indicted for bribery and
perjury. and fourteen convicted.
He recounted with interesting Ceiail the
facts that were brought out in the most
notorious OF the Ing loOdl- ueals IN ~.

purchased from the members OF the Md

Mr.. Blair bestowed unstm:ei praiss pom

article in which the charge was made that
the people OF st. Louis are Indifferent to
the moral questions Involved in the crusade
and averse TO the continuation or the Prose
cution.
He stated that nothing is further from
the truth and cited in substantiation of his
statement that every boodler who has been
brought TO trial has sought 4 change OF
venU- from the city on the ground that a
fair trial could not be had because OF the
prejudice Of the people against bribe-givers
and bribe-takers.
To further refute this calumny on ST.
Louis, Ar. Blair pointed to the fact that
an ample fund had been raised 10 assist the
Circuit Attorney In the prosecution OF the
boOdlers. and that every newspaper in the
city had extolled ard commended his work.
Mr.. Folk. he said. was the ~best-known citi-
zen Of ST. Louis as a result OF his fearless
work. and regarded In the light OF 4 hero
by the community.
Among other things. Mr.. Blair said: In
St Lo<.s's efforts to receive good govern
two matters should be noticed. The nrst
is that The ST Louis Republic. a partisan
Democratic Journal. rose to the dignity OF
true civic patriotism In the last election by
selecting the best candidates for the House
OF Delegates. whether Democratic. Repub-
lican or Independent. and in recommending
them TO all voters, irrespective Of party af-
hliations. and in SO doing reflected Infinite
credit upon the Intelligence and honesty OF
its management. Another gratifying fact n
this disclosure Is the part played by a mem
her Of the newspaper profes sion IN ferreting
out this municipal corruption"
