ENGDAHL CLAIMS GAS MEN
TALK GAS AND POLITICS
Uniformed gas company employees
are canvassing ostensibIy to sell gas
ranges or exchange new for old
stoves, but actually to talk politics
and make votes for gas company
candidates.
This is going on in the 18th ward,
according to charges of J. Louis Eng
dahl, Socialist candidate for alder
man, in speech at 1913 W. Division
St, Sunday.
"A woman busy with her house
work hears the doorben ring" said
Engdahl. "She goes to the door and
sees a man in nifty blue uniform.
He says he's from the gas company
and she reads in gold braid letters on
his cap the initials of The Peoples
Gas Co.
IT'S a good deal of a Joke, of
course, for anybody to call it a peo-
pies gas company when it's a fact
that the company belongs to Sam In
sui, Roger sullivan, JOnn 7. Hop
kins and other men OF millions who
got their millions skinning the peo-
pie they have named their corpora
ton after.
THE lady let's him in because he
looks safe and respectable. Once
inside he talks about gas ranges
and politics.
THE Sullivan candidate, KaindI,
gets all the boosting from these
hOuse-tO-hOUse canvassers. In this
connection l would point out that my
opponent, Kaindl, does not deny he is
the Sullivan candidate and the Roger
Sullivan fortune got its start in gas.
So serious are the charges of Eng
dahl that they aroused the Tribune
to publication Of a statement
from an unidentified gas company
official. It is denied uniformed can

MARKHAM CALLS SINKING OF
CITY OF MEMPHIS OVERT ACT
Destruction of the steamship City
of Memphis by a German submarine
constitutes an covert act" in opinion
of President Charles H. Markham of
the Illinois Central railroad, which
owned the ship.
The vessel was flying an Amer
lean flag, was manned by an Amer
lean crew and was Unarmed," Mark
ham said. "She carried a cargo
of cotton from the United States to
France in January. On her way
across she was stopped by a subma-
rine, but was allowed to proceed
after her papers had been examined.
She left Cardiff on her hOmeward
voyage March 16.
There seems to have been no rea-
son to sink the ship, except that she
was in the restricted zone. The gov
eminent should take action without
any presentation of facts from me if
there is sufficient cause, and I shall
make no protest to the president. "

The Police Jury at its last meet

for other extensive and needed i'm

Without going into details as to
how the contract was given, pri-

would have been the legal way and
the only way to get the lowest
price, we must say that the Police
Jury has done the right thing in

It Was A Mistake.

If Louis Greig thought he had
some influence over the Police Ju-
ry he must now fully realize that
it was all a mistake. He was al.
right and courted when needed by
the political leaders, but when he
raised his voice to insist upon
what he considered right and just
he was dropped, and he dropped
hard too.
