10 ------ HOPE THOMPSON SCORES CROWE Candidate for State's Attor- ney Brands Incumbent "Worst Prosecutor" "BROKEN CONTRACTS" Wilmette Man Launches In- dependent Campaign Cook county political circles were aroused Monday of this week when Hope Thompson, 1219 Ashland avenue, Wilmette, independent candidate for state's attorney at the instance of the Better Government association, de- livered an impassioned attack upon Robert E. Crowe, who is candidate for reelection, by branding the present state's attorney as "the worst failure as a public prosecutor in the history of Chicago." Mr. Thompson's opening gun in the current campaign was fired at a lunch- eon tendered him by friends in the cameo room of the Morrison hotel. Charges Broken Promises In his address Attorney Thompson said in part: "When State's Attorney Crowe was a candidate four years ago he made this promise to induce people to elect him: "'Crime can and will be when I am state's attorney. "The people accepted his promise, elected him and Crowe thereby en- tered into a solemn contract with the people, as binding as a business man's promissory note. "He has broken his contract. In- stead of stopping crime he has permit- ted it to more than double. Court rec- ords show criminal cases filed in 1920, 37,501: in. 1921,..53,381 .cases;..in_1922 66,765 cases; in 1923, 72297 cases; in 1924 (at rate for nine months), 81,792 cases. And during that time the num- ber of defendants in the Criminal court fell from 6,723 in 1921 to 4,244 in 1922 and to 2,774 in 1923. Not one felony in ten has been punished! Infers "Protection" "Such a record brands Crowe as the worst failure as a state's attorney in the history of Cook county. I demand that he tell the people why he broke his contract with them. Was it indif- ference? Or incompetence? Or--was hie protecting his friends? "Another part of Crowe's contract with the people was this promise: "'T shall put every force at my com- rnd to wipe out breeding places of crime. "He broke this part of his contract by preventing the first grand jury he had charge of from indicting the pub- lic officials of Chicago Heights after conclusive evidence of graft had been presented. He broke it again by pre- venting the indictment of vice lords, after the Juvenile Protective associa- tion had presented evidence showing Chicago 'the worst vice-laden city in America.' He broke it again by re- fusing to prosecute 2,300 bootleg. joints which were finally shut up by Mayor Dever. "I demand that Mr. Crowe tell the people why he broke this part of his contract. Is he in partnership with the vice lords? If not, why does he permit them to manufacture criminals by wholesale out of the boys and girls of Cook county? "In the business world a man who does not keep his contracts is a fail- ure. Mr. Crowe is a contract breaker, and, judged by his record, he is an utter failure as state's attorney." stopped N. U. GRIDDERS FORMIDABLE LOT Bruce and White Return to Bolster Squad Word that "Fritz" Bruce, of Chi- cago, and Harold White, of Boise, Idaho, are eligible brought joy into the Purple grid camp this week. Coach Thistlethwaite, usually taciturn, plainly expressed satisfaction as he gave out word that these two sopho- mores would be eligible to compete for the Purple this fall. F Bruce especially was causing the Purple mentor considerable anxiety as the hefty lad was counted {pon to fill a tackle position this fall. - With Bruce back in the fold Thistlethwaite has two tackles upon whom he can depend for some valuable service. Chuck Parsons, of Carroll, Towa, is the other linesman who is showing considerable adeptness at the tackle post. White may prove a valuable addi- tion to the backfield, the coach thinks He hits the line hard and is an ac- curate passer. Captain Bob Weinecke and Fred DeStefano probably will handle the full back assignment be- tween them. Other backs of promise are Ralph Baker, of Rockford, Ade Schumacker and Bo Graham, of Evanston, and "Benny" Froelich, of Chicago. Barney Mathews, "Tiny" Townsend and Al Kelly form a trio of guards who should do a good job of plug- ging up the Purple forward wall this fall if present signs mean much. Each of them tip the scales around the 200 mark. At the present time Wally Seidel is the only regular end out for practice. Roy Bouscher and Red Herman, ends, who won their letters last year, are expected out any day. Light scrimmage drill will be on the Purple program next week, ac- cording to Coach Thistlethwaite. With the first week of practice draw- ing to a close the Purple guide has obtained a fair estimate on available material an dwill start seasoning his squad for the opening game of the season with South Dakota on October 4. This gives the Purple just eleven working days in which to whip a team inte shape and will necessitate some intensive drill. Luncheon and Three Club Event Wind Up Golf Year Next Monday ends the Women's golf season at Skokie. A large field will undoubtedly be in at- tendance for the final day's play which will commence at 9 o'clock in the morning with a 3 club match played on 18 holes with prizes given for the low gross and low net scores. The final luncheon, served at 1 o'clock, will be followed by elections and awards. Telephone 1098 ALEC W.
