The Thaw trial produced some fine
work In this line, but nearly all OF ~
for the defense. Well written ana IN
iteresting news were furnished even
the critical Associated Press. and sent
broadcast over the country, that should
have paid advertising rates. The SYM

Exactly in this line is Roosevelt's

friends Of Debs and Haywood object TO
such work from the biggest "reporthur7'
on earth. Surely this coming famous
trial il being tried out of court. For
months the socialistic press has been
denouncing the officials pushing the

these papers Of imprisonment without

Ehave actually wanted mob force to take

Debs is the chief exponent, have filled

And because Roosevelt in a published
letter refers to them as "und desirable
citizens" great Is the cry that under
our laws every man is supposed to be
innocent till proven guilty" all Of
which goes to prove Dooley's argument
