A political cleanup which will
bring victory for Herbert c. Hoov-

by the Illinois primary results, de-
clared Oscar C. Foellinger, Hoov-

an active interest in their govern

There is a cleanup wave sweep

other States, but also in Indiana,
where a political machine in the
face of recent disgrace is attempt
ing to eXalt its leader to the White

Ignorant: Malicious.

Judge Clifton r. Camerons reply
today to Remy's charges that city
judges were exceeding their author

Remy charged the municipal
courts we're acting on felony
charges, such as vehicle taking,

His charge followed action of Mu-

ing the youth $50 on an unlawful
possession of an automobile charge.

In reply Judge Cameron ques-
toned Remy's legal knowledge and
quoted Chapter 21O. Acst of 1927,
page 594, as follows:
Section l. Be it enacted by the
General Assembly of the State of
Indiana, that Section l of the above

the city and municipal courts
shall have power, in any case where
any person shall have been convict

shall have entered his plea of guilty
to a charge of a felony or INSIDE

ment of conviction of such person.

such person, by an order of such
court in such case, except for the
crimes of murder, arson, burglary,
rape, treason, kidnapping and a sec

able to find the law, and relieve
himself of some of his egotistical
autocratic assumption as dictator

Court Records Open
"Can it be possible that the
learned prosecutor of Marion Coun-

that this gentleman is exempt from

display so much wisdom should
know his duty before trying to pa

1.-THE gallery is all right to play to,

of wisdom and sinister purpose and
to find fault with those bearing re-
sponsibility with an honest purpose

their oaths of offices, at the behest
