caught with the goods.

and have finally hit on the only de-
Tense that appears 10 look reasonable
to them. 1t looms reasonable TO them
but ludricous to everybody else.
The defense is that rudolph Spreck
les has been spending money to send
hem to the penltentlary and that he
is doing it to curry favor with the
people and secure some pollucai ad-
vanlage.
They insist that if he succeeds -
conylcting them that he Will Jump
inlo the political arena and want 10
run for something.
In order to defeat this hellsh plot
of Spreckles they ask the ]urles TO
acqu.t them.
They have already convinced sew
eral newspapers That this plot oi
Sp1,Ickles' is setting dangerous
nrecedent and may tempt other men
to spend money TO prevent CRIME ana
if this scheme OF uoing politics WINS
in the Spreckles case that other peo-
ple will begin the same sort OF WoiA
and no man will be safe
The newspapers who were loudes'
in the praises of Heney and LaASoon
