There is class of individuals who
find especial delight in putting up
straw men and knocking them down.
The champions of the citizens party
have INDUCED in this pastime quite
extensively and seemingly with much
relish. They talk glibly about a city
administration having nothing to do
with tariff or currency legislation
with the solution of diplomatic prob
| lens, with the management Of the
Filipinos etc, etc. These sage dec
larations are made with such fervor
and JUNCTION as if impelled by actual
contention on the part of those sup
porting organization nominees-dem-
ocratS, republicans or prOgreSStVeS.
And yet in all that has been said
written or printed during the progress
OF this campaign there hasn't been the

MRS. Drummer RELEASED ON
$1,000 BONDS TODAY
Mrs. Irene Drummer, 2317 S. Dear
born street, scheduled to appear in
the Hyde Park police court this
afternoon to answer a charge of rob-
berry, was released on $4,000 bonds
this morning.
Capt. LAWN questioned the woman
before her release, but she refused to
answer interrogations. Mrs. Drummer
was confronted by Miss Elizabeth
Foley, who identified her as the wo-
man who held up the dry goods store
at 756 E. 47th street Saturday night,
but even this failed to shake the
woman's compOsure.
Because Of developments since her
arrest, it is probable the robbery
charge against Mrs. Drummer will not
be pushed by the police. Several in
cidents have been brought to light in
which she acted iTTationally, and
these, together with the fact that
there is no apparent motive for the
woman to steal, have caused the po-
lice to believe her mind affected.
On one occasion Mrs. Drummer fired
at her husband without proYocation,
and she has appeared at several
South Side police stations and de-
manded that houses in the vicinity
of 18th street and Michigan avenue
be closed, alleging they were disor-
derby places.
Albert Hamilton, the chauffeur
who drove Mrs. Drummer Saturday
night, and Joseph Drummer, her hus-
band, held in connection with the
robbery, were also released on bail.
