Why Not Try Col. Hayward
on the Oil Crowd?

The revelation of the fact that Attorney General Gregory
has been the payroll of corporation interested in the oil
scandal makes it necessary to choose go
after the bribe gvers and bbe takers This suggestion
respectfully offered to the President:
Why not try COL William Hayward?
He represents the Department of Justice prosecuting Of
Gicial in New York
Hayward who proved himself good fighter leading his
regiment in the war; has proved himself also good fighter
in court able to put in jail in spite of big fortunes and
Of big lawyers defending them.
Besides the Republican party needs to strengthen its fences
after the oil revelations It is than likely that Colonel
Hayward will be the Republican nominee for Governor in
New York State Fall If the Administration would give
him chance with the oil scandal he would show good fight
for the Governorshp little later.
What's important he would GET the big fellows if
they could be got And it would not cost the Government
any fancy fees.
