THE STORY

Marcia despite her unfortunate ma
trimonial experience, finds pleasure In
her daily life, but is lonely at times,
and has invited her late husbands
niece, Sylvia Hayden, whom she has
never seen, to visit her. The girl ar
| rives and Marcia takes to her at once,
while Sylvia, expecting to see some
| what elderly aunt, finds Marcia more
like sister.
Into the uneventful, happy lives of
the two women comes adventure. A
| stranger on the verge of exhaustion,
| finds his way to Marcia's home. Cared
for, he explains that his power boat
ran aground in the fog. His wrist is
| injured. Secretly, he asks Marcia to
hide a package containing jewelry,
Elisha Winslow, town sheriff, bringing
the news of jewel robbery on neigh
boring Long Island estate. The stran-
ger, Hospitality put to bed, gives his
name as Stanley Heath.
Unable to write because of his in
| jured wrist, Heath has Marcia Mrs.
! s. G. Heath. He also wires orders to
man named Currier to come at once.
!. Sylvia, in her room, bedecks herself
with the jewels. At Marcia's approach,
she hides them there. Heath asks Mar
cha to bring him the jewels. They are
gone! Terror-stricken, she informs
Heath. Later, Sylvia restores them to
their original hiding place.
Eleazer Croker brings telegram
for Heath. Sylvia being away, he deems
it an opportune time to pop the ques-
ton" to Marcia but her thoughts are
busy with her stranger guest. Elisha
Winslow, arriving with the news of a
fire in the village, sends Eleazer hastily
home. Elisha, by accident, discovers
the jewels and has no doubt they are
the stolen gems, and that Heath is
the thief. Saying nothing to Marcia,
but replacing the jewels, he returns to
the village to make plans, with Eleazer,
for arresting Heath.
The pair first takes the sheriff S
badge and handouts, which are bro
ken, to Sawyer Falls to be fixed, and
while there learn of telegram sent
by Heath to Mrs. Heath. It is not
until the next morning that they are
able to make the trip to the Home
sead. Meanwhile, Currier, Heaths
right-hand man, arrives, and in look
ing for the supposedly lost jewels,
finds them under the brick where they
had been hidden originally. Taking
them, he starts back for New York in
Heath's boat just before the sheriff
and Eleazer arrive.
The officials, having no evidence
against Heath, leave, discomfited To
Sylvia, Marcia admits that she loves
Heath, and still has faith in his In
nocence. While Sylvia is sure of his
guilt, she declares she will help him
escape, which Marcia is unwilling to
do.

"That wretchd Elisha Winslow who
came here this morning with Eleazer
Croker tagging at his heels. In some
way they had found out about the
jewels and where you had hidden
them. They wanted to come upstairs
and arrest you post haste; but Marcia
wouldn't allow it,"
Marcia heard the story, too?"
"Of course"
Poor Marcia!"
"You may well say poor Marcia, !"
Sylvia echoed sarcastically. "You have
made her most unhappy. Oh, Mr..
Heath, Marcia has not had the sort of
life that told you she had. She has
been wretched- miserable. Go away
before you heap more suffering upon
her. I'll help you get out of town.

"Wait just a moment. What does
Marcia say? I think I'd better talk
with her first"
Don't! 1t will only be waste of
time. Marcia is hard, merciless. Her
conscience drives her to extremes.
Even should you get her opinion, you
would not follow it. But I'll send her to
you-if must. But remember I warned
you"
II shall not soon forget that, Sylvia,
nor the splendid loyalty you've shown
today I shall always remember it.
Whatever happens, please realize that
I am grateful" Heath said earnestly.
RUN along now, and fetch Marcia"
It was some moments before Marcia
answered the summons and when at
last she came, it was with downcast
eyes and evident reluctance.
"Tell me, please, exactly what hap
pened down stairs" Heath smiled.
She related the incident tersely;
without comment.
Stanley Heath, scrutinizing her with
keen, appraising eyes, could not but
note the pallor of her cheeks, the I'M
steadiness of her lips, the nervous
clasping and unclasping of her hands
"And is that all?" he inquired when
convinced she had no intention of
speaking further.
"That is all"
THANK you. Now what do you
think it best for me to do? I should
like your opinion"
"But how can give a just opinion?
I cannot judge" she burst out as ii
goaded beyond her patience. II know
none of the facts"
A radiance, swift as the passage OF
a meteor, flashed across Heath's face
and was gone.
Suppose you yourself had taken
these jewels and were placed in this
dilemma?" pressed he.
"The case would not be similar al

"Why not?"
"Because-bec should be

AS the endorsed candidate for
one C the most ruthless political
machines that has ever function
ed in these United States, Lati-
mer is travelling daily from ros-
trum to rostrum delivering 20
listeners the dope dictated by the
invisible government" -his FL
bosses.
They have raised a number of
issues for Toms use in more or
less frantic efforts to hold an
offensive but there are no issues
which they can raise which won't
rebound on him and the party
bosses behind him.
1t is automatic that the best
plans are of little use unless
backed by men of principle and
honor. This is no aspersion. La
timer and his party boss cohorts
are not hamstrung with principle
and honor. That is an accusa-
ton.
Latimer gets himself on plat
forms and tells the world that
if he is elected mayor ''laws are

t, be enforced, rackets and spe-
cial privilege stopped, and exist
ing graft for protection purposes
stopped if he has to fire city Of
ficials to do it."
What sort of ring does a
statement like that have when
sounded by Latimer, who, two
years ago accepted campaign
money from heavy slot ma
chine interest? Latimer's state
ment by innuendo, is an asper-
sion on a number of people, in
GLIDING his opponent. It mat
tiers nothing to Latimer that his
opponent has clean hands. To
Latimer, politics is a game to be
played by slight-of-hand, any
thing goes that might contribute
to the desired end. Good reputa-
tations of other people who stand
in the way are destroyed thru
hook or crook by the gangs char
acter assassins while Tom as
sumes a pose of lily-whiteness.
1t i'll becomes Latimer to say
that he is a better friend of or
ganized labor than is his oppo-
nent. He has betrayed organized
labor on more than one instance.
Witness his handling of the
case of the Minneapolis Steel &
Machinery Company's employees,
his patronage of non-union shops
for campaign signs, his stamping
Of those signs and fraudulently
making them appear as Union
made, and his use of non-union
bill posters on large scales.
On the other hand his oppo-
nent was appointed to positions
of high public trust by Toms
party leaders, Gov. Olson and ex-
mayor Anderson. These appoint
ments should operate as bar
for Latirner attacks as to his OPP
ponent's general stand on i'm
portant public questions, as well
as a bar against personal attacks
from the same source.
It is clever strategy tho for
Tom and his cohorts to strain
themselves to keep on the often
sive because if they can keep
their opponents busy answering
questions there will be no oppor-
tunity to effectively get behind
Toms 'front.'! There are too
many questions about Toms rec
ord which he has good reason
not to want pressed on him.
He is not anxious to be re-
minded about that slot machine
matter. But it naturally jumps
up whenever he speaks about en-
forcing laws, rackets and special
privilege, and graft for protec-
ton purposes that he will stop
if he becomes mayor. When he |
talks about the appointment of a
police chief, he must have in
mind one who will not interfere
with slot machines and the sweet
revenue from protected conces-
sions! 1t is a cinch that the slot |

communist agitators.
I stood within ten feet of Sam
Davis and three of his colleagues
when they delivered speeches
that had they been delivered in
M Cow and aimed at the CON-
munist government of Russia,
would have brought out several
firing squads-and a paucity of
noisy agitators.
Eventually the rioting started
and eventually Davis and several
of his cohorts found themselves
in Jail. Mike Johannes called the
communist bluff

But in those twelve months,
Latimer had undergone grea;

II say Johannes is under
the domination of the Citi-

that his statement is abso-
lutely false, let me remind

ible government cycling Tom),
from which Tom accepted cam
paign money, had in mind receiv-
ing a concession in return If Tom
was elected-and it still has!
Having in view the receipt of
this slot machine money, a sur
vey was made of Toms sworn
statement of campaign receipts
and disbursements to see if he
had listed it properly. We
weren't surprised to find that he
had overlooked (?) the matter
o. entering that item. The sur
prise was to find that Tom had
made no entries of receipts in
in any of his sworn reports. In
fact he swore that he had re-
ceived no contributions of money
or things of value!
Tom, that is a false oath. AS
an officer of the court, as law
yer, you know that is perjury,
and there are a number of other
people who know that the swear
ing to such a statement is per-
jury.
You know what the provisions
arc for a candidate under the cor
rupt practices act. Candidates
are required to make periodical
sworn statements to their filing
officers covering the receipts and
disbursements of all things Of
value used for campaign pur-
poses. A dishonest report is
criminal and as it relates to cleo
ton it is specially punishable by
forfeiture of office if the guilty
one wins election.
Tom was third high in that
election and, while he was him
self /. ,ilty of having violated the
corrupt practices act, he sought
to have his name placed on the
ballot by having the cambridge
nomination contested for alleged
violation of another section Of
the act!
1t also developed that Tom
was guilty of similar perjuries in
the filing of his campaign re-
ceipts in 1890, when he was a
candidate for county attorney.
and in 1882, when he was a can
didate for district judge.
Beside not listing any monies
received by him for campaign
purposes in these various CAM
paigns, Tom failed to list the re-
ceipt of materials used in making
the several thousand signs. And
much of this material was col
lected by Tom personally with
out the knowledge and consent of
the owners-if his own confess
sions are to be believed.
Those materials come under
the head of "Things of TalMe
as contemplated in the corrupt
practices act and require listing.
Such is the tainted record of
Tom Latimer and 1t is no small
wonder that Tom and his FL
boss friends strain themselves to
Seep on the offensive so that his
opponents will be too busy to
Toms front.
