SPRINGER FLAYS

“Contract Letting by State

_ Administration Is Assailed. 5 Gov. McNutt today answered ‘charges made by Ravmond S. - Springer, G. O. P. candidate for - Governor, in a speech last- nizht, sthat not all state contracts for oleomargarine were awarded to the “lowest responsible bidders.” Gov. McNutt said: “If Mr. Springer is ever intrusted with the job of feeding persons at ‘stale institutions, which he will "not, he will find that you can't give them unpalatable food. ~ “Inmates of some institutions , threatened riots when offered in2 ferior brands of food,” the GovLernor asserted. + “In some instances firms would offer one brand for bidding and ‘then send. inferior grades to in- . Stitutions. As long as I am Govcernor, I'll not feed. unpalatable “food.”

TODAY IS OURS

CHAPTER XII } La days that followed, the | newspapers were full of politi-| cal scandal which had involved Steve. For months there had been rumors: of graft in that administration, and now the lid was off. SlowIv and carefully the newspapers had been gathering their facts, determined to rid the town of corruption in the city hall—and now that the | barrage had begun they were sparing nothinjg. There were columns of testimony, of charges and denials, and. there were countless photo- | graphs. To Judith’s mind it seemed that the newspapers were filled with nothing else—and- whenever Steve's name was mentioned his name stood out for her as if it had been set in boldface type. Since-the dinner with Eden Harris had heard nothing from the young doctor, and more than once she wished for his lighthearted but | sensible counsel. But through his ! friend and lawyer, John Grose, Bob kept her posted as to the progress | of the investigation. He assured her that Steve's position was clear, and that he was being involved more as a materia] witness than anything | else. But Judith wondered if Bob | could be lying to save her feelings. She would never forget the night she found Bob Bent had not been lying. Over and over she had told herself that once Steve Fowler was absolved from blame, it would! mean a turning point in her life. During the weeks of Steve's trouble she had felt drawn to him more and more. She realized now how diffi- | cult, how perhaps impossible, it was for a wom4n to forget a man when for four years their lives and hopes and dreams have been inextricably interwoven. And on the night that | Steve telephoned excitedly, "I've grand news, Judith, and I'm on my | way over” she thought to herself: We were never apart at all. I've got to face that. We weren't ever apart.

ITHIN five minutes after the telephone call, Steve burst into the apartment without knocking, rushed to Judith and took her in his arms. -For a long time neither | spoke, but stood clinging to the] other there in the center of the rcom. Then Judith drew away | gently and said, “Tell me about it, | Steve.”

And | I get a raise, too. We can marry | any time, darling!” He held her off | at arm’s length, his eyes searching | ner face happily. “How about to- | night?” “Oh, not tonight, Steve!™ Judith laughed shakily. “I—I always wanted a nice wedding, Steve, with lots of flowers... and... and friends.” He Kissed her again. “Sure, dar- | ling.” His expression grew triumphantly serious. “You see, Judith. | You see how right I was all along? |
