Attorney General
Lacks Common Sense

Chicago, Feb. 16.-H. L. Hart Of
Long Prairie. MINI, speaking before
the Interstate Merchants Council to-
day, said that there seemed TO be
only one class of merchandise distri-
butors that have had "a good stand
ing with either the Democratic or
Republican administration and that
is the mail order houses" He
charged that Attorney General
Dougherty's statements regarding
retail prices were unjust. What
would it be worth to the mail order
interests to have the public educa-
ted by the attorney general and radi-
cal newspapers to believe that every
time they made a purchase at a re-
tail store they were being held up
and robbed? 1t would mean millions
Of extra trade for the mail order
concerns" Mr.. Hart said. IF you
are going to be successful in 1922,
you must meet this vicious propa-
ganda. you must answer the question
in your advertising to your own
community. You stand convicted
without trial by one of our national
officials.
