dens with such regularity that the
owners came to the sad realization
that it wasn't for the effect that the
raids were made.
They howled; and the politicians
promptly decreed that Cox official

But it didn't fall.

which had been all cut and dried. feb

much and the decent element got onto
the program. Cox continued his raids
and the politicians continued theH'
yells TO the powers that be.
Cox is still on the job-for how
long he doesn't know. for the wide
open towers haven't given up the idea
OF tieing his political scalp TO theiI

He probably will be fired before tho
