Because the Senate war

headed by Republicans, it is
unlikely now to turn its spot
light on the gentlemen expected
to pay the freight for the COP

is there.
During the war a shortage of
steel crippled production at a
time when it meant lives of
GIs and their allies on the west
ern and eastern fronts. Now
that we are at peace, the steel
interests openly plan to op-
crate at two-thirds capacity
with the knowledge that
it means an economy with IL
million jobless on the streets.
THERE are numerous au-
thorities for these allegations,

1t was learned that the dead
line for filing petitions had been
moved forward one week, making
an immediate about drive for
100000 signatures necessity if
the candidates were to win their
right to place on the ballots.
The citizens committee which
is supporting the campaign had
planned to call for the petitions
by Aug. 10. They would have been
turned over to election officials
by Aug. 25.
UNDER an unpublished state
law signed by Gov. Green June 2,
however, the petitions must be
filed by Aug. 18-little more than
a week away. Zalmon H. Garfield,
campaign manager for the pro-
gressive independent candidates,
has ordered all petitions turned
in April IA, to allow sufficient
time to uncover and eliminate
faulty petitions.
Although the 50-odd organi-
zations which are gathering Pc
titions for the Progressive Party

Garfield said. I'VE have been

lition ticket in order to give the
people voice in choosing their
judges"
Under the coalition system
which has been effective here for
% years, both major parties have
agreed to support candidates put
up by both tickets on a compro-
mise basis. There has been no
competition, because only 81 can
didates, representing the coalition,
have appeared on the ballot for
the 81 openings on the Superior
Court bench.
AS a result, the Superior Court
has acquired a record of corrup-
ton and reaction. Receivership
scandals and anti-union injunc-
tons have been common.
1T WAS because of such coali-
ton that Irving Flamm, vice presi-
dent of the Chicago chapter of
the National Lawyers Guild and
secretary of the City Club, this
week urged local voters to sign
the Progressive Party petitions.
Flamm declared that "there is
kind (of coalition) that
might well be described by the
word 'collusion, conspiracy
against the people to keep in
office political hacks and wheel
horses whose main qualification
is loyalty to the political ma
chine"
He charged that "they are in
competents who could not get
elected if they. had competition
from candidates possessing SUI
perior qualities"
RETURNING to the method
of selecting coalition candidates,
Flamm said:
For two political parties TO
keep their respective mediocre
ties in office by mutual back
scratching is something that
as a citizen resent. And that is

81 know, of course, that the
coalition ticket will include some
candidates for the judiciary who
are well qualified. But the ticket
includes a number of incompetents
who have been repeatedly con-
demned by the legal societies and
other groups. Some of them are
far too old for active service"
FLAMM suggested that it would
be safer for a lay citizen to flavor
the Progressive ticket, first, be-
cause by and large, it is made up
of intelligent progressive canoi-
dates and second, because in IA
voring that ticket he would be
serving notice on the political ma
chimes that he resents the con-
spiracy against the public in
terest."
''UnleSs the citizenry show their
resentment against collusive tao
TICS" Flamm warned, "the pro-
fessional politicians can be count
ed on to continue this reprehen-
sible practice of denying to the
people the right to choice Of
candidates.

monopoly grab of the steel in
terests. He told the Senate war
investigating subcommittee that
the planned scarcity program
was aimed at curtailing new
business and that it under
mines the economy by penaliz-
ing anyone who dares enter any
new industry"
But the Senate subcommittee
wants political sensations for
the 1913 campaign.
So the policy of curtailed
production and high prices for
steel will go ahead to help in
flate living costs and add to
the list of jobless.
