A guy named Denham was doing what he was sworn to do and he got the old heave ho. On the other hand, it isn‘t too likely that Harry will pick ontbellarinesagainvu'ymn.flisfingersmust still be burning from trying to pick up that particular red hot stove. + enough to think that the voters of Marquette were setting no Democratic precedent when they picked a goofball as a candidate, but even we have to admit that this is the first time we could proveâ€"legallyâ€" that one of their candidates was crazy. * HARRY‘S POLICEMEN The reason that the Democratic voters were unâ€" informed was that the judge who committed the canâ€" ‘didate was "empowered to withhold facts in certain cases." Had all of that judge‘s records been open to the public, including newspaper reporters, the odds are a thousand to one against even a halfâ€"hearted carfipaign being waged without somebody bringing : up the fact that this particular Â¥pride of the party" had been adjudgedâ€"legallyâ€"as being nuttier than a grove of almondsâ€"more or less. ; â€"=â€"Well, in the first place, it is very seldom that a newspaper prints a story about anyone being comâ€" mitted to a hospital for the insane. It happens every dayâ€"more or lessâ€" in Lake county, but only on very special occassions do any Lake county papers chronâ€" icle the fact. Nevertheless, such records have always been open to inspection and if a committed zany were nominated for public office in Lake county, it‘s a pretty safe bet that the voters of â€"the party would have nominated him because all the sane had refused. On the day a petition for nomination was filed, Lake county would read about it in the afternoon newsâ€" paperâ€"whether the candidate were Republican or facts." However in view of a certain amount of exâ€" perience with such affairs, we think we know. There are always some tear jerkers, who know little, and don‘t even suspect very much, who want to "control" the type of information that may be printed. One of their favorite whines is that they want to "protect innocent people from unnecessary embarrassment." That‘s probably the one they used to get this judge the power to "withhold certain information." All we know about the case is the story carried in the daily papers, which didn‘t mention how the judge came to be "empowered to withhold certain A pointed lesson in the importance of the freeâ€" dom of the press was furnished the rest of the nation last week by the uninformed Democratic voters of Marquette, Michigan when they discovered that a man they nominated for public office was an inmate of the state hospital for the insane where he had been committed on July 20. ®© _ A POINTED LESSON Vol. No. 39 ; No. 30 highlight of the big meeting atâ€" tended by leading educators, trafâ€" of the American Automobile Assoâ€" week, for distinguished service in the midwest traffic safety moveâ€" Highland Park, II1., Ford dealer, rom one u4 The Higbland Park Pregs | =>== AM!&WWOWMWBM The water district will have no power of taxation and no taxes will be levied for its operation. }no-le-lb feasible. __ All of the expenses of operating the water district will be paid for with water Fevenue bonds.
