I don't see how you can consis
tently claim to be for the good of the
masses, though, as long as you sup
port any other than a Socialist for
office, for I maintain that the So
cialist platform is the only one that
is built entirely of good, true planks
strong enough to support the heavy'
crowd of working people. W. W.

POLITICS NEW HOYNE
MOVES TALKED OF
t "With Maclay Hoyne holdiqg
cinch on the office of state's attorney
the next four years, talk in politics
runs on what "will be the first moves
of Hoyne against the City" HaU.
Trials of Chief Healey and Seo'y Lut-
hardt are announced by Hoyne to
take place in January or earlier.
Trials of John Tobin, former lieuten
ant at detective bureau, charged with
conspiracy and extortion, and Fran
cis Becker, accused as go-between
and grafter in 21st ward saloons and
gambling houses, will come off
among the first thlB winter to be di
rected by the re-elected prosecutor.
"Hoyne the Broom" became a slo
gan with many voters in the closing
days of the campaign. He convinced
them that there was no horseplay
about his indictments or Healey, Lut
hardt and Becker, and that he would
go the limit in sweeping out every
thing rotten he could rind in the City
Hall.
Mayor Thompson at Republican
county headquarters last night ex
plained defeat of Miller with a guess
that "the people of Chicago did not
understand the issue." He said
Hoyne stood for "open violation of
law" and added:
"So far as I am personally con
cerned, when I am compelled to per
mit such conditions to exist I will re
tire from public life. I do Hot have to
stand for such conditions and will
not."
