MACLAY HOYNE.-I opposed the
election of Maclay Hoyne when he
ran for states attorney. On more
than one occasion his conduct as a
public servant has forced me to take
off my hat to him.
He has proven that he is not afraid
of the political power of great
wealth, of organized labor, of the
newspaper or political bosses.
One of the really great services he
has rendered recently was in bring
ing to the attention of grand jury.
the fact that it has been and is GUS
tom of influential employers in Chi
cago to employ gunner and sluggers
as strikebreakers, and that the police
force is often in league with this pri-,
vate, kept army Of organized capital.
When I think of Hoyne, the Har-
rison Democrat, l think of Recorder
Connery, the Sullivan Democrat, of
Aldermen Merriam and Buck, the
Progressive Republicans, and of Al
dermen Kennedy and Rodriguez, the
Socialists.
ALI are excellent public servants
in their respective spheres, and each
is what he is because of the kind of
MAN he is, and in spite of what fac
tional or party tag or label he hap
pens to wear.
And for the life of me I can't see
why all honest voters who own them
selves shouldn't back up honest and
efficient public servants without car
ing tinker's damn what party those
servants happened to belong to.
