1t may be argued that certain
delicate foreign negotiations are
itnpeded if the white light of pub
licity beats upon them during dis
cussion. I am willing to admit that
under certain circumstances a full
report may create friction and en-
barrassment.
But. even so, I hold that in the
long run free and frank discussion
is the better way. Occasional en-
barrassment is better than the
growth Of any sort Of secret agree
nents.
And if it is established that our
set policy, even in delicate diplo-
matte dealings, is one of complete
publicity, there need not be cause
for friction.
Surely the secrecy which sur
rounded President wilson's negoti-
ations in Paris was the very factor
which wrecked any possibility of
our entrance into the league. There
was too much to digest all at once
when the plan was presented to us.
If the American public had been
able to follow the scheme through
its various stages there would have
been much more sympathy with the

The Gang Confesses

Confession that crookedness and graft are
the weapons Of the gang when it goes after the
control Of Offices is made in the brazen boast
that, through trickery, the city manager law
permits the chairman Of political parties to
name the precinct election officers.
Of course if the law is interpreted as
legal matter. it is quite likely that the boss IS
mistaken.
It is very certain that the legislators and
the people believed that the city manager law
is drafted for the purpose Of keeping partisan
politics ont of the election and that safeguards
were thrown about the law to prevent the
henchmen Of Coffin from bulldozing and steal
ing and cheating at the polls
It has been notorious that in past elections
in many precincts the election officers named
by Coffin have been men on parole from the
courts convicts, known bootleggers, petty vio-
lators of laws, men and women who live under
the fear Of the law
Ut was TO prevent just this thing that the
city manager law provided for a special cleo
ton commission which would select judges and
clerks of election who would have no other
purpose than the honest count Of votes and the
prevention of frauds
judge Chamberlin of the circuit court, IN
the selection Of William Remy, former prose-
cutor. made certain that the intention would
be carried out The gang knows that Remy
knows these crooks They will not serve under
Remy.
The one purpose OF the boast of Coffin and
his organs and mouthpieces that he will name
the election officers is TO build up the waning
hopes Of his followers. He must make show
of power. He must give them some assurance
that he is still the master
More brazen and of more importance are
the whispers which apparently emanate from
the same Coffin quarters that the supreme
court stands ready to throw out the city man
ager law as unconstitutional.
That is libel on the supreme court, For it
is unbelievable that any member of the court
has even intimated to Coffin what his decision
will be in a case not yet filed in that court.
The court could have saved itself the en-
barrassment Of such whispers had it taken a
bold stand with Judges Martin and Gemmill
when they wrote decision that the law IS
valid and constitutional.
That decision shows that in fifteen other
states the law has been upheld. Unfortunately
one Judge. in the early dawn, eliminated a let
ter SIS" from the decision and leaves the door
open for all the foul ISLANDERS that the gang
wishes to circulate concerning its control
over the high court
1t is time for The people to be on guard. It IS
time to organize. 1t is time to solidify
against gang that confesses even as it boasts
that it still has the power to put known crooks
on election boards at which the fate Of Indi-
annapolis is at stake.

Then we became so drowsy with
