AGO, Aug. 27.A-Chicago
Heights. a suburb on the south
western fringe of Chicago, was In
an uproar today over gangiand's
latest and boldest challenge to law

1t was the bombing OF the village

in fighting crime in that district.
The front of the two-story plant was
almost blown away Dynamite ap.
parently was the explosive used.
King Williams. part owner and
editor of the paper, after viewing
the ruins. said the bombing was the
result o. the papers editorial policy.
Making an Expose
The paper opposed the village ad-
ministration and has been conduct
ing an expose of the gangster-boot-
legse--criminal element, Williams
said
"They have climaxed a series OF
lawless acts in an attempt to sup.
press publicity of underworld activi-
ties in Chicago Heights the editor
charged. while we have received
numerous threats, we did not dream
they would dare go to this extreme.
This latest gangster outrage is
characteristic of the utter disregard
the criminal element has for law
and order"
The explosion occurred late yes
terday when no one was in or
around the plant.
Paper Continues
The affair reacted on the State
attorneys office of Cook county at
an indignation mass meeting of Chi

they considered the State safe" and
issued statements predicting he
would carry it by 100000, but in the
next breath told him he had better
plan at least two major campaign
speeches here.
81 convinced is Smith that the
real battle ground lies In the East
that he has virtually decided not To
wage any extensive campaign In the
West. He may even decide, his close
friends said. not to go to the Pacinc
Coast.
South To Be Ignored
Smith also has decided, according
10 his confidants, not to campaign
in any of the border States despite
the pleas of Governor Albert G.
Ritchie, of Maryland. that he include
that State in his itinerary. The
Governor is said. to feel that his APP
pearance in the border States might
tend 10 'stir things up and that
il would be better politics TO have
the Democratic leaders in those
States wage their own campaign.
