Senator Robinson Also Writes

The correspondence between the editor Of
The Times and officials increases
Last week the Governor sent letter. This
week Senator Arthur Robinson writes. On
Tuesday member of his law Office delivered
it in person, to be sure that it reached its
destination.
Because it relates to a public matter, The
Times is printing it in order that u may have
no secrets from it's readers. And here it is:
Indianapolis, Indiana,
September Is, 1927.
Mr.. Boyd Gurley, Editor.
The Indianapolis Times
Dear Sir:
In leading editorial published in The Indi-
annapolis Times September 12 1927, appears
this language
s"The machine created in these days Of super
government is the which sent WATSON and
Robinson back to the Senate. OF course they will
not resign They should, inasrnuch as they went
into office as beneficaries OF a system which was
not known to all the people. They are in the po-
siton of receiving Office under false pretenses."
Senator Watson is i'll in the city OF Rochester,
Minnesota and have not been able to confer with
him with reference to this editorial. can, there
FORE speak only for myself So far as am con-
cerned the statement quoted above Is absolutely
false and grossly libels me. l demand therefore,
that it he retracted within three days from this
date the retraction to be given as much promi-
nence in your newspaper as was given the state
ment complained Of
am making this demand on you ano through
YOU on The indianapolis Times Publishing Com
pany Yours sincerely,
ARTHUR r. ROBINSON
The answer, of course, is that The Times
knows Of no way it can apologize" to Senator
Robinson and deal fairly with its readers.
It would like to say that Indiana has
Al fria IF
Stephenson in his dragon days of power, never
the associate of George V. Coffin in politics,
never part of the super government of this
State.
But The Times, so it happens, is pledged to
give it's readers nothing but the truth and of
course the Senator would not expect it to
stultify itself by cowardly running before his
implied threats.
There has been super government in this
State and it is super government which The
Times is fighting and endeavoring to finish.
IT is fighting to end the time when United
political consideration and expediencies, the
decisions Of its Supreme Court.
Will you tell the people Of this State, Sen
ator Robinson, that you did not make such an
attemptY
Will you tell the people that you never
knew Stephenson and were not on close and
friendly terms with him when he was polit-
zeal powerY
Will you tell the people exactly your re-
latonships with George V. Coffin, the political
boss Of this county, who is now under indict-
mentf
No, Senator, the time is not yet when The
Times can honestly write only, pleasant things
of Indiana's junior Senator.
