United States District Attorney

Orously.

| United States District Attorney d p
| Dyer has not been on a he'd of roses since
! his assistant. Bert u. Nortoni. secured in
dic'ments from the Federal Grand Jury
against several Democratic politicians for
| naturalization frauds. Republicans Of in

10 secure lenieucy from the United States
! Attorneys Office.
For some time there have been rumors
! that Congressman Richard Barthoidt and
| former Congressman Charles F JOY went
/ to Colonel Dyer in behalf of men IN
| dicted by the Grand Jury for conspiracy
against the Government in naturalization
! frauds. The story was SO opposed to the
! idea generally entertained Of the politi-
cal sagacity Of the two prominent Repub-
| licans that no one could be found who
would believe It.
In Shelbyvine Saturday Colonel Dyer
made a speech to the Old Settlers Of Shell
by County. in which he talked about pure
politics. He was thankful that Folk had
done his duty in prosecuting boodlers and
remarked that he would he the first TO
larrup him if he failed to do his duty TO
the end.
DYER'S FRANK reilly.
After the speech Colonel Dyer was asked
about the alleged intercession Of Bar
tholdt and Joy for Chairman John Dolan
of the Democratic City Central Committee
and Tom Barrett. Marshal of the Court OF
Appeals. both Of whom have been indicted
for conspiracy.
Colonel Dyer spoke frankly Of the mat

contemptuously. There are men who
would trade off anything in order to get a
little help in A primary. 1t is not right
to say that men who would do such
thing are RePuDlCanS or Democrats lhey

DETERMINED TO PROSECUTE.
Colonel Dyer will not allow the inter
cession of Bartholdt and Joy to affect his
interest in the prosecution of naturali-
zation frauds He will lend every help TO
Nortoni in trying to get convictions Of the
men who have been indicted.
When the story concerning the two
men having gone to Colonel Dyer was
first told. II was said that Bartholdt and
JOY each supposed that Barrstt had
ance in any primary in which they might
be interested. Barrett does not live in
the Tenth District. where the two Repub-
liCans do. but IL said tina: his influence
