the Republicans can place Frederick D. Grggs in Congress it will be re- sarded by the party as a species ot "Nindication" of presidential politics. Should William J. Granfeld. the Democratic candidate. be elected. the situation would be reversed- according to supposedly skilled po- litical observers.
 Yet neither of the national con- mittees has shown an official desire 10 enter the fray-and exactly for the reasons aforementioned. Let the election be a purely local one," has been the slogan or the two parties. Tn this way one or the other will have an alibi ready when the re- suits are known.
 Underneath this apparent apathy by the national committees however, has been a keen interest and also the rendering Of grapevine aid. Pres ident Hoover himself is said to have taken q deep interest in the fortunes Of Mr. Griggs, but what this means is not exactly clear it being natural for a Republican president b feel d normal interest in q regular Re publican candidate almost anywhere.
 Just now much the prohibition issue has entered into the campaign can be determined from the an uounccmcnt by Mr. Griggs that he has been wet. nclineS by nature to- ward personal liberty, etc, but as he is running on the ticket of a dry party he will be officially dry.

THI NEW WAR IN CHICAGO

The roundup Of the criminal clt- mrut in Chicago meets with wide spread satisfaction everywhere But there is one disappointment: The outstanding criminal racl>etecrs in the city by the lake seem 10 hI\r escaped the police net. Why tltls should be so is difficult 10 under. stand. their identities surely being fairly well known to the police.
 Tho criminal rackets in Chicago and the murder industry will scarce lv be permanently eliminated until the striuS-prllcrs behind the under world stage are placed where they can do little harm.
 IL is comforting to know. however, that public indignation in Chicago has finally reached the point where strenuous police effort is being taken to make at least q dent in the fortress of crime. All observers oi note have for a long time agreed that criminal conditions in Chicago would be 10 worse than in other cities were it not for the fact that there has been an astonishing com placoncy somewhere in the fabric Of the city's government. 1t is impos- a.bIc to believe that criminals could have done 50 well in that territory lad it not been for an easy going DO, ,HjcM attitude by some of the au' tnoritics. Public indignation has brought at least a temporary change What Chicago needs is a continuation Of the warfare against c,tmc. ..n1 no quarter or misplaced! i E, mp@3hy for tho s3nS,tcrs.

MIR. ROn ABtCk'S AFFIRMATION

Admitting the role of T political dictator. J. Henry Roraback eX- plains that his political organization. wcll-managed and we'll oiled. oper- ates for the benefit Of the state. end that if it didn't the people Of the state long ago would have throwr it out Of office.
 That is to be doubted The rea- son the Ror&bac,s dictatorship re- mans in office is more likely to bc. , the fact that the Roraback machin" has seized the party that most peo- pie in Connecticut habitually vote for. regardless of who is running it or what t does or doesn't happen to i dO
 The I;orahach control is merely all incident. It is like that Of captain Of industry who obtains control O. q going concern which Is going so 1 well that he is unable to wreck jt even if he were inefficient.
 The power Husnate in his frank : admission prctcnds to believe that the majority ot the people of the state like the Republican machine so well that they will continue it in office because Of how deliehtmlly Il functions. The truth is they vote for the party first and the machine in- cidentany; and q goodly portion oi them would be jolly well glad r somebody else would run the Re publican party instead of AIr. Eora bac', and his assistants.

MIR. HUGHES WILL SOMETIMES
 FORCE 4 SMILE

When Charles F. Hughes was nominated by President Hoover ioi the chief jusuce&hip Of the l.. s, Supreme Court the other day we mentioned the fact that Alr. Hughes was the nations leading corporation lawyer. Which of course may have nothing in common with his eff ciency as the leader of the highest tribunal in the land.
 Since that time Senator Norris one Of lhe so-called Trouble nlak- ers' for the Administrations made public list oe the big cases ir which Mir Hughes had appeared be fore the Supreme Court. these num- borine 5@. Virtually all Of Mr. Hughes clients were corporations. some Of them the best known and among the richest in the land.
 This record is q tribute to the high legal reputation of Mr. Hughes as a lawyer. No lawyer. we believe. has ever equallcd him in being sought by corporations to fight their cases before the nations highest court
 Mr. Hughes. being so well liked personally and having engendered public confidence throughout q long and honorable career, unqucstion ably will be approved by the Senate for the post of chief justice. The fact that he will give up a highly lucra. tive practicable most lucrative il the country-in order to accept tht chief juSticeship and it's compa "a. lively Insignificant salary, speak; volumes for Mr Hughes desire tc serve the public honestly and faith fully when given this position ot great trust.
 Naturally Nh, Hughes. when or the court, will not participate il cases on which he has served a, counsel But justice is not prcclud cd from participating in cases iuyol} ing legal oue5tions similar tc those he pre> ous'y argued.
 Which brings mp an interesting gu sjion: In such q case, would ther, be any guarantee that Mir. Hughes would believe the same things a' chief justice that he argued wheI employed by some ot inc corpora l tionsH
 ! l. is generally conceded, We think that a lawyer usually can arsu equally 1lucnuy upon either side O . a case. When q lawyer is employee it is his bounden duty to cite all tn . law. prccydents and the like, he cal find in favor of his client; and l' make a convincirG argument or brIc to boot. But that does not ncccsSar fly mean that the lawyer lh hi heart believes his client has JuSuc , on lis side. He is doing merely tha lor which he is being employed,
 
 Ii is like d lawyer being employe by q murderer. The lawyer may bc Heve his client guilty; indeed. tn culprit may have admitted his sul in private 10 his attorney, But tha do5an't prevent the lawyer troI
 lighting tor his client as if he helle\
 rd him the most innocent of men. Consequently when Mr. Hugh'
 becomes chief justice we do nc imagine Lr Nill permit his torm' affiliations with corporation law cast
 to make the slightest difference. |
 probably will Lave many opportun ! ties to chuckle at some ot his form
 arguments for his former clients. Many a good lawyer, We undr
 .;.nG. doss this in private.
