PRATT MAY MAKE
SULLIVAN THE GOAT

II begins to look very much as
though Mayor Pratt and his advis-
ors had decided to make John r.
Sullivan the goat who wiIi-perhaps
save the Pratt administration
from the odum which now attaches
itself because of the chief of police
scandal.
Mayor Pratt today filed with
Commissioner George Mudgett,
head of the police commission, a
copy of the charges laid against
Sullivan before the city council and
recommended that these charges be
given a fair and impartial-and
public-hearing.
The mayor, and those who have
been standing with him, feel to q
practical certainty that If the evil
dence i nthese charges is heard by
fair and impartial judicial body
they will be proven and Sullivan
found guilty. Had they not known
this, Sullivan would never have re-
signed rather than have the charges
heard before the city council.
Pratt has buzzing in his bonnet
the little bee which tells him he
would like to be elected mayor of
Spokane under the commission
plan, but he knows also that with
the public believing that he stands
for and approves of Sullivan's ac-
lions in office, he will have about
as much chance as the historic
SNOWFALL in the great heated here
after.
Therefore it is good politics for
Pratt and his friends to make Sui
liyan the goat. The mayors letter
filing the charges follows:
Mr.. George Mudgett, chairman
of the Board of Police Commission
ers: You will please find hereto

The resignation of Acting Chief
Sullivan is certainly balm for the
wounds of one old man, member
of the Grand Army, now toiling
with his hands down at Fairfield,
to regain some of the standing in
life that was wrested from him
by the persecution of the Spokane
police.
This old soldier is J. H. Elliott,
the victim Of police persecution in
the Elliott case, and the man who
filed the final charges that resulted
in. the undoing of Sullivan.
