URGE WOOLWINE
FOR CONGRESS
DEMOCRATS MAY PIT HIM
AGAINST M'LACHLAN
MANY ASK PROSECUTOR TO EN-
TER THE CONTEST
Courageous official Who Fought the
Bucket Shops and Social Clubs
In Line for Higher
Honors

Well-known Democrats are urging
Thomas Lee woolwine, prosecuting at
torney of Los Angeles, to enter the
race for congress from the Seventh dis
trict to oppose James McLachlan, who
seeks denomination by she Republicans.
In the past few days the pressure has
been stronger and 1t Is believed a
definite statement will be obtained from
the rising young official, who by strict
performance of his sworn duties has
not only made the police department
heads sit UP but has surprised direc-
tors of the principal clubs and mana
gers of the bucket shops whom he has
dared to bring within the pale Of the
laws as he construed them.
For these acts and his known ag-
gressiveness as a lawyer and as a
fighter, Mr.. Woolwine is looked upon as
the logical man for the candidacy.
Need Untainted Man
With the vital San Pedro harbor con-
fronting Los Angeles, Democrats in
sist that a man absolutely free from
corporate influence Is best fitted for
congressional duties. On him the peo-
pie who oppose southern Pacific domi-
nation could safely unite.
Mr.. Woolwine was asked last night
WuSlu0r u6 WOulu dCGepL d uOIllIldblOIl
If rendered, but he declined to say,
though he admitted that many friends
were urging him to make the race.
"I have a duty to perform as city
prosecutor" said Mr.. Woolwine, land
for the present do not care to be in
terviewed, though 1 feel grateful for
the loyalty of my friends"
OF Noted Family
Mr.. Woolwine comes of the noted
Tennessee family of that name; is well
into the 3Os in age, and is thoroughly
grounded in the law, having served in
the United States district attorney s
office, as deputy city attorney and
finally, after declining the position
which e. J. Fleming vacated, Mr..
Woolwine accepted the tender of prose-
cutor made by City Attorney Leslie r.
Hewitt.
He has distinguished himself by his
vigorous enforcement of laws as long
as they remain on the statute books,
regardless of wealth, social standing or
other considerations of the individuals
concerned.
He is recognized as a man whose
principles and character fit him for
any office, the incumbent of which
must serve the peoples interests and
protect their rights.
