Oliver NJ. LOOMS, district attorney,
denied rumors Of strife in the Office
and referred all inquiries regarding
the resignation TO Rulison.
Newspaper Gives View
Denial Of strife talk was made
by Rulison following publication of
the following by the TT. Wayne
Journal Gazette:
The young Republican lawyers
Of Fl. Wayne are not falling over
each other in an attempt to get
into the race to succeed Lloyd S.
Hartzler as deputy United States
district attorney.
They have evidently come to the
conclusion that all that glitters is
not gold"
Before Mr. Hartzler was named
there was quite a raft of candidates.
"Hartzler found the position alto
gether unsatisfactory. it is said. The
salary was only 81, 400 per year. He
had to pay his own expenses in
travelling back and forth between
Fl. Wayne and South Bend. He
had to spend most of his time away
from his law practice. Being the
Junior member of the staff he had
to answer telephone and fetch law
books, while George L. Rulison, the
chief deputy. copied the glory. Hart
zler did not like it. So he chuCked
the job and the other young Re
publican attorneys have lost some
of their desire to succeed him.
ct is reported here that RUliSOn
may resign in the near future. Ruli-
son is the pride of the drys. He used
to be a preacher. He believes, it is
said. that the prohibition law is al
most as important as the ten COM

leggers with vigor. The Anti-Saloon
League likes him.

looking forward to a better job in
Washington. He either expects to
land on the legal staff of the pro-
hibition enforcement department or

loon League, it is said
Denies Dry League Ambition
It is believed the last paragraph
of the Journal Gazette story refers
to a civil service examination taken
by Rulison for appointment to the
