DIRTY PIECE
OF POLITICS

A cheap. slanderous and poorly print
ed circular put out by local print
shop was distributed widely over the
city today. The circular should have
been snticepticized before distribution.
Its author who has dabbled unsuccess-
fully in county politics is irresponsible
and not in possession OF all his facul-
ties. The print insults a number OF
Hammond's leading citizens and bust
ness men who favor the reelection of
Mayor Smal1ey and won't help the citi-
zens' party one iota- The distributors
should have been arrested for circulat-
ing immoral literature in the schools.
