REMY SHOULD
QUIT TONIGHT,
> SHOUTS CAREY
Lawyers Demand Follows
TRADE on Prosecutor by
County Councilman.

Prosecutor William H. Remy
should resign tonight in the opinion
Of Attorney Walter Carey, 7O8 FL
deity Bldg. -........
This challenge was made by Carey
before the county council today. 1t
followed on the heels Of scathing
denunciation Of Remy by County
Councilman Paul Dunn.
Dunn launched the TRADE when
he became irate on taking his seat
for the council meeting. He found
slip of paper on the seat bearing
the legend, "Cof1n's Pocket Edi-
ton" 1t was placed there by some
jokester.
He denied that he was bossed by
Republican County Chairman
George v. Coffin and denounced
Remy and the political investiga-
tions conducted here. Opening for
the speech came when a bill for
an additional $3.50 for corruption
probe expenditures was before the
council for approval.
Tired of Probe Bills
"Reny ought to give us $1,000 back
out of his $780," Dunn declared.
"All he does is sit around. have
talked to taxpayers and judges and
they tell me that they are tired of
seeing these constant bills for
political probe expenditures. 1t
ought to be stopped. The county
should not be made to pay for
fostering Remy's political ambitions,
just because he wants TO be attorney
general or something.
81 suppose Emsley johnson wants
to be Congressman, now that John
Hoffman has been taken care of.
He shouldn't depend on the county
for funds"
Hoffman Is now corporation
council. He and johnson were aids
of Remy in probing political cor
ruption.
States Laughing Stock
At this juncture Carey took the
floor and talked so loud that a
crowd gathered. He said $23,0C0
had been paid out for probing and
the result thus far was two men
found guilty of misdemeanorS and
paying small fines.
why should the county pay huge
sums for carrying on a factional
political fight" Carey continued.
THE taxpayers are sick of it. Ma
rion county has become the laugh
ing stock of the State. have moth
ing against Hoffman and Johnson.
but if Reny and his army of
deputies can't handle the prose-
cutor's Office, let him resign tonight
There is no statute that provides
for payment of these special funds

CHICAGO, Jan. 3O.-When the
twenty-eighth annual automobile

swung into full week Of activity,
it was apparent that interest in the
