CORPORATION LAWYERS IN
POLITICS ATTACKED

Records of corporation lawyers,
Standard Oil and beef trust law
confidential men were handled by
William A. Guinea, Socialist candi-
date for county judge, in a speech at
Spaulding Hall last night. After
ward a letter sent out by the Law
yers' Democratic Club was the tar
get Of the Guinea attack. He said:
"The main point of this letter is
that a Democratic United States SEN
ator and Democratic congressman
from Illinois should be elected in or
der to support President Wilson's
peace policy.
Local politicians argue that be-.
cause there is hell to pay among the
nations of Europe therefore the vOt-
ers Of Cook county, Illinois, must
elect Democratic politicians to office.
Under cover. of the splendid anti
war principles of the president, Chi
cago's foremost pickpockets and
most eminent burglars, the big inter-
ests responsible for the prices and
wages that make the high cost of HV-
ing high, aim now at putting over
their candidates.
Among the nine signers of the let
ter sent out by the members of my
profession who head the sO-called
Lawyers Democratic Club are three
distinguished corporation lawyers,
two appointees of Democrats in Of
flee and one who had a questionable
record while acting as a city attOr-
ney.
"A. F. Reichman, chairman of this
club, was formerly a partner of Al
fred UriOn, and has repeatedly ap-
peared in court in behalf of the Ar
moUr, Swift and Morris packing in
terests.
"Silas H. Strawn is a member of
the firm of Winston, Payne, Strawn
& Shaw, which firm takes in more
money yearly than any other firm in
Chicago from railroad and butteTine
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1914-10-24

Of interstate commerce law.
Joseph w. Moses is a member Of
the firm of Moses, Rosenthal & Ken
ned. The business of this firm and
the affiliations of Mr.. Moses are in
dicated in the fact that his partner,
MoTitz ROsenthal, received a fee of
$1,000 a day from the Standard Oil
Co. when that company was under
prosecution in the state of Missouri.
Another illustTiOus patriot who is
using the record of President Wilson
topush local candidates is Andrew J.
Ryan. He was city attorney at a
time when his law partner, James G.
Condor, was trial lawyer for the Chi
cago City Railways Co. So many
peculiar settlements of cases result
ed and such large sums of money
were being lifted out of the city
treasury that a public scandal arose
and RRyan suddenly resigned.
Charles J. TTainor and John S.
Hummer are both regular Democratic
harness politicians, holding place as
masters of chancery under appoint
ment from Democrats higher up.
From these men 1 might take adj
vice on law, btu l refuse to have
them tell me what is patriotism.
While the Chicago packers are
selling their meat to the allies and
the Standard Oil Co. is selling gaso-
line to Germany, we insist their law
yers keep hands 0 -four politics. It
is a dOuble-cross game on Cook
county voters"
