the heaviest laces, you know. The
lace covers the front panel of the

effect of genuine art, for in most in

Why is Woydt Objectionable? OBJ

1ectionable because he was not elected

The powers behind the present ad-
ministration wish to make Chief
Woydt appear ridiculous. Conse-
quently certain unnamed but infuen-
tial parties are spreading the report
that Woydt is a foolish reformer.
1t is plain that the bogus city hall
reformers haven't the slightest de-
sire to do anything. except make po-
litical capital. Woydt is objection
able, not because of his offensive
craftsmanship, but because he isn't in
with the gang. Woydt is a purist. or
a fool, but simply will not lend him
self to be the dupe or the tool of the
