FRANKLIN QUITS;
CITY FORCE AGOG
Mystery of Demotion Deepens
Many Rumors Heard.

That the Jewett good government"
political machine and the police depart
ment are not working smoothly is evil
dent from the fact that Harry NJ. Frank
lin resigned from the police department
last night after he had been reduced to
the rank of patrolman.
The demotion came from high up" is
about all that can be learned.
Franklin has always been g Repub-
ncan.
It is presumed that Franklin has in
some way displeased "some one"
A few months ago he was reduced
from captain TO the rank OF sergeant
and yesterday from sergeant to patrol
man, which Brought about his resigna-
ton
What has Franklin done?
That question has been asked a hun-
dred times around police headquarters
and the only snswer seems to be ''he's
in bad with the city hall gang"
ARGUING POLITICS" MAY
BE CHARGE, Is REPORT.
1t was .unoflciaIIy reported that
Franklin had argued politics in pub
lie" and for that reason, although q
Republican, was reduced to the rank
of patrolman by a Republican board of
safety.
Franklin, years ago was made a drill
master at police headquarters by a Re
publican board Of safety
But policemen don't like to d5iIl and
Franklin was promoted to the job of
helping keep records around police head.
quarters and later made a captain.
When Samuel V. Perrott became chief
OF police he knew only too we'll of the
political power and activity of Captain
Franklin and reduced him to the rank
Of patrolman. Fearing that he might
have TO patrol in the "ragweeds," Frank.
I'm resigned.
court probation officer, but When the
Republican good government" ring
came into power he again became q po-
lice Official
INSPECTOR FRANKLIN"
MISSED CONNECTIONS.
Phat the plans of the good govern
ment' gang were not perfected at that
time was evident from the fact that on
the cards accompanying a number Of
floral offerings sent to George Y. Coffin.
who was made chief of police, were con-
CALCULATIONS for Chief Coffin. 1nspec-
tor Franklin and three captains.
However. STREET. was made inspector
and Franklin a captain and that was
really the first slip that was experienced
by the men behind Franklin"
Then last May, after Coffin had lost
his power as police chief, Franklin war
reduced to sergeant, and the end Of his
police career came yesterday.
The board OF public safety is keeping
mum, and Franklin has no comment TO
make.
No wonder that the wise ones are say
ing the "Jewett machine can't put over
everything il wants TO do aud still keep
peace in the Republican family"
Some are wondering If the reported at
tempt to lift the Id just before election
for the favored few Republican machine
men has had any bearing on the Frank
lin e1se.

evidence that the Leabue Of Nations
has had any Influence Whatever or
has attempted to exercise any in
1eventing these disturbances.

FREE TO DECIDE

Discussing the Polish situation,
candidate Franklin d. Roosevelt as
serts that because the United States
is not a member of the League of
Nations all it can do is extend sym
pathy. Absolutely wrong. The fact
that the United States is not mem
ber of the League does not preclude
it from doing anything it sees fit for
the aid Of Poland. The United States
freed Cuba without being n member
of the League. 1t has rendered aid
to many nation stricken by mis-
fortune. without being member of
the League of Nations. The United
States helped defeat Germany with
being n member of n league-this
country did not even enter the al
lance but fought in cooperation.
If the United States desires to send
food or munitions or money or sol
diers to Poland, it is absolutely free
to do so.
On the other hand. since the
United States is not member of the
League. it is also free not to do any
of these things unless it deems such
action wise and proper. Under the
terms of the League covenant. the
United States. if member, would
be under binding obligations to send
money or supplies or troops upon the
order of the League even if against
its judgement.
The democratic candidate has in
reality testified to the wisdom of
those republicans in the senate who
kept this nation free from the obli-
cations of the League.

WHERE is THE LEAGUE2

As far as he is able to be. Presi-
dent Wilson is personally member
of the League of Nations, and the
League of Nations is in actual ope-
ration today. Yet in the case of the
Russian-Polish war We see that Eng
land without consultation with other
members of the League. has been
furnishing Poland with munitions
that England and Italy are taking
one position in regard to the Rus
ian-Polish situation while France is
taking another and President Wilson
still another. Is there any certainty
that they woul be any nearer an
agreement if We were actually n
member of the League? Is it not
ridiculous TO assume, as the demo-
cratic candidate for the vice-presi-
dencv does that the very fact that
we were member of the League
would have prevented the difficulties
which now exist.
III ihiH 'biHt'AibH II 10 ltIillcnt
10 ask what action the League took
to prevent the invasion of Russia by
Poland, the charter member of the
League. and what action. il any, did
it take as an organization to pro-
tect the boundaries of Poland in the
counter attack by the Russian. If
we were n member of the League,
would We not be bound TO send men
and supplies TO Poland9 Indeed, is
it not almost certainty that we
would today have troops engaged in
that war.
In the minds of many people, if the
League of Nations were in operation
and it is the hope of all people
it would prevent war. Without tn,
United States i, has been in opera.
