? IS BE FIT AGAIN I i fo BE TRUSTZD? x t v Proof of tho commission of - v- forgeries on tho tax rolls in fa- v vor of Z. O. M. I. and tho Des- J eret News was offered to DIs- r trict Attorney Fred O. Loofbou- i- row, and Tho Tribune aeked r permission to lay tho case before ' 4 tho last g.and jury. District r Attorney Loofbourow stated to r 4 a legal representative of Tlio 4-4 4-4 Tribuno that ho would go Into 4 tho cusQ as fioon as ho disposed r of the food trust investigation, -f- - But he did not do so. Ho did 'e not daro do such a thing in view r 4 of tho fact that ho was a candi- 1 4 date for renomiuation. Ho know I- that tho exposures would compel v I- the indicting of leading mom- bors of tho .state and county 4 'h office-holders' trust and promi- v nent church business mon. .j. I- Was this an honest act of this official's lifo? Did the district 4 attomoy show that ho desired to -fr -I safeguard tho pooplo's interests? J v Was this refusal ou his part to v investigate a grave crlmo against tho taxpayers uuch aa to -r 4- justify him asking for another fr J term? As a matter of fact, should Fred C. Loofbourow bo J supported by any honest taxpay- or, with such a cowardly record?
