DAY OF RECKONING FOR POLITICAL GANG ‘ AT THE SUNSET STAGE
Last Saturday afternoon the flley blind tiger at 1420 East Walnut street, was raided by a squad of police, headed by a federal prohibition
officer.
Considerable liquor was found and the proprietors of the place were locked up in jail. Just two weeks previous to that the federal officers had arrested the Elys and they were out on bond. It is significant that a South Walnut Street business man annoyed by the sight of drunken men staggering out of Ely*S place, made a complaint, Saturday afternoon, not to the police, but to Sandy Starks, the Square jawed young federal investigator, who was sent to Mum-
tie to clean house.
Uniformed police patrolled South Walnut street all day Saturday, but evidently none took note of what was apparent to others who are not sworn officers of the law. Citizens here have long since learned that it is useless to complain to the police. One would think that the city administration would sit up and take notice after the sensational raid made by twenty-four federal men three weeks ago, but Ihe Ely incident discloses that it
taught them no leson.
Pledged To Lawbreakers
John Hampton was elected mayor of Muncic by the solid vote of the law breaking element. He took office pledged to protect law breakers. They owned him body and soul. It was their money, dumped into a jack pot, that was used to buy whisky on election day to corruptly influence those whose votes can be bought by a swallow of white mule. I The sixteenth precinct, commonly known as the "redligbt” district, was -captained all day by known violators of the law. Ordinarily democratic, it gave Hampton a large majority. The twentieth and twenty second, normally democratic, were both manned by renegrade idemocrats and both gave
Hampton large majorities.
In the twenty second, John Cox, a democrat, was assigned the duty of carrying the day for Hampton. There were two liquor charges standing against Cox and one against an employe of his while he was running a road house northwest of the'eity. He was promised, Jin the event of Hampton's election, •that these cases would be ‘Taken care of” and that he would be allowed to operate a blind tiger, un-
molested.
On the day before the election he was summoned to Hampton headquarters in the Roberts hotel and was there given money to buy whisky for election day purposes, and on election day he was pienti lully supplied with funds. Plenty Of Booze Liquor flowed like water at the polls in the 22ud. The Post-Demo-crat published the statement,” the l<Yiday following the election that the whisky was (Hstributefl from

Cox’s garage, only a few feet from the polling place. Cox delivered the goods. The 22ml precinct, which is normally, three to one democratic, g%ve Hampton a majority of nearly a
hundred.
After the election. The republican machine delivered the goods: Due case against Cox was dismissed. His employe drew r a small line and a suspended sentence. Clarence Beuadum, named special judge in the other case against Cox, let him off with a fifty dollar fine with 0,0 imprisonment. Before the election two men collected money from gamblers, bootJeggers and prostitutes to be used in ,behalf of Hampton. They Avere promise^ that they would be permitted to operate if be was elected. Hampton Avas elected and for two years Muncie has been in the grip of .laAvlessuess. Even Judge Dearth* made an open ■ complaint in the summer of 1926, but he soon subsided and conditions kept going from bad to Averse until the rotten noss A\as completely exposed by the federal raids three weeks ago. Bound And Shackled In the election nearly every republican precinct in Muncie went democratic by heavy majorities. It was only in those precincts Avhere ! la w violators abound in great numbers that Hampton secured the’ vote which put him over by a bare majority of 315 in a city that-is normally three to five thousand republican. Hampton took office bound and shackled to the law breakers to whom he OAved his election. If he had been a strong man he would have repudiated them after the election and kept the city clean. But he was weak and he fell for the insistent demands of the underworld that they Avere entitled to what they paid for. Sheriff MeAuiey also went into office under a Aveight of obligation to a gfoup of laAv breakers who supplied the money for his campaign expenses. The United States of America has now practically stepped in and ! taken charge of the Ikw enforcing situation in Muncie and Delaware
county.
If Hampton and McAuley were mentally equipped to realize their nitiful situation, they would resign. If Clarence Dearth had been pos■i«ased of a proper sense of shame he would have resigned from the bench last March, when he was shown up before the state Senate. These men and others of their type must realize now, unless they are utterly lacking in perception, that their house of cards is tumbling about their ears. Their day is done. The reckoning is at hand.
Last week the Post-Democrat tested the drawing power of advertising placed in its columns by running a notice asking readers to supply this office with copies of the Post-Democrat of the issue of November 11. Inadvertently we sold out the entire issu>; and had none left for the office files. In response to this ad the ollice had received up to Thursday afternoon by mail and direct delivery seven-ty-eight copies of the issue requested. Two came from Ohio, one from West Virginia, three from cities in this section of the state, and one came from Washington, ' D. C.'' The olhefs Avere Yfelivered by DeTaware 'county "” readers. Last Saturday, in addition to the regular mail " subscribers, therd were sold on the streets of the city of Muncie, nearly six thousand copies of the Post-Dem-
ocrat.
This great volume of papers was sold by seventysix bright young street salesmen. There is probably no other newspaper in the Urited States the same size as the Post-Democrat, and so,ling at five cents a copy, that approximates the sales of the Post-Democrat on the streets of Muncie every Saturday. JP Advertisers should tak'j note of this and avail themselves of their weekly opportunity to advertise in a newspaper that has such a hold on people of the community in which it circulates. There was a time in Muncie when a large majority of the people doubted the sincerity of the Post-Dem-ocrat. There were told that its policies were dictated by “politics,” and they believed it. Now they know differently. Tests have been applied which are convincing to the public that this newspaper is above partisan politics. It stands just as ready to criticize an unworthy democrat as it does a crooked republican. The only politics wc know is the kind of politics that compels public officials to be square and honest with the people, regardless of the party to which they
