County Attorney Brought Petitions for
His Own Removal

The remarkable spectacle was pre-
sented in the attorney generals office
Wednesday of a county attorney COM
ing to that office bearing a petition
signed by several thousand citizens of
his county asking for his own dismissal
from the office of county attorney for
failure to enforce the prohibitory law
The county attorney who appeared in
this remarkable capacity was D. H.
WolIey of Crawford county Mr. WolIey
knew that the petitions were being cir
culated, and he also knew that he was
coming to Topeka to make his defense.
So he went and offered to bring the
petitions with him, and the offer was
accepted.
The petitions charged that wolley
had failed and neglected to enforce the
prohibitory law.
But Mr.. Wo1ley won't be ousted. He
succeeded in squaring himself with At
torney General Fred S. Jackson. He
assured Mr.. Jackson that he was ready
and willing to use every energy to en-
force the law, and evidently put up
such a strong talk that he convinced
the attorney general that he meant
business. Mr.. Jackson said today:
II believe that Mr.. Wolley will do
his duty. He has convinced me that
he intends to enforce the laws and obey
his OATH
