al party lines should be followed IN
selecting a states attorney. Citi-
zens of all parties should stand by
Hoyne. The Office Of states attorney
is strictly non-partisan in character
and voters should act accordingly. 1
hope the time will soon come when
the states attorney and all other
local offices will be chosen on a nom
partisan ballot.
"HOyne is entitled to the re-elec-
ton because of his experience as a
prosecutor. Crooks and criminals
use the same attorney year after
year. Why shouldn't the public keep
its skilled and trained crime hunters
at the work they have begun?
"The burglar trust, the arson trust,
the clairvoyant trust and the City

the same token the public should
stand by him.

Did the raid on the mayors office
lead you to fear that HOyne might
change his mind and indict you?"
Merriam smiled one of his slow
quiet smiles as he looked over one
Of the circulars and remarked:
''These are the same buckets of
mud they poured on me last winter
and a year ago. The crime commit

the workings Of a crime trust in Chi

Of States Atty Hoyne in the clair

the collision of crooked police Off

of States Atty HOyne, was shown to
be a necessary part Of the system
operated by professional criminals"
Until today the Thompson-Lundin
organization has played it's game
quietly, expecting that Guinea would
draw enough votes away from Hoyne
to make the election of Miller a
cinch. The action of Independent
Republicans like Merriam and Les
sing RosenthaI in taking the stump
for Hoyne is the worst bump yet
given to the Miller candidacy. 1t was
this that brought on again what Mer- !
