Forth Rooms for Sinclair

I>ORTG rooms for Sinclair and party.
That is large order for any hotel
But for one in the small city of Chey-
enne Wyo., it must have made mine host
both stare and gulp.
Forty rooms, however, were required.
according to the press dispatches ~ for
going TO law has become more ponderous
in these latter days than it used to be,
and men of large affairs must maintain
large retinues when they face the Judge
Instead of merely appearing personally
with your lawyer, as was once the custom,
you must now, If you are of the CONNER
cial stature of n Sinclair, be accompanied
by many lawyers-and other advisers.
Hence the order for 40 rooms as a feat
ure of the Teapot Dome trial mt Cheyenne.
What are the duties OF this army of
advisers?
If we can Judge the present by the
recent past, we may assume that publicity
agents will occupy ut least some of the
40 rooms, for which Sinclair will settle
when the trial is over
The first nayal oil lease hearing was
held some months ago in Los Angeles.
The decision in that case has not yet
been handed down.
During the trial planted in the court
room, was corps OF advisers and pub
LEFTY men,
As the trial proceeded these very eff
cient and obligng young men were always
ready to provide information favorable TO
the Doheny side of the case and assist"
in any way possible the Transmission of
the information to the rest of the world
The prosecution, representing the pub
lie, was not equipped 10 furnish any such
service Which merely means that the
defendant-aS usual when rich--is always
a bit more agile than the public
In these latter days the hired publicity
agent rivals the lawyer in Importance, and
occupies some of the finest of the 40
rooms.
All of which means heavier duty on
the regular representatives of the press
to tell the real news.
Real news being facts. truth. not sugar
coated handouts from hired publicity
agents.
