GOV. SMALL IS FIGHTING ACCUSERS Illinois Executive Balks Ef-| forts to Start His Trial on Looting Charge | BY CARL VICTOR LITTLE WAUKEGAN, IL, Dee Len Small, chaiGed with looting the treasury of Illinois, today balked at efforts to bring him to trial | Thru his attorney, C. G. Laforse, | the governor asked that indic{menta, alleging he juggled millions in state funds, be thrown out of court on the grounds that the gra Jury which made the return was illegally chosen. SMALL, IS GRANTED CHANGE OF VENUE Arguments, to quash the case were heard before Judge Claire C. Ed. wards, of Lake county cireult court ‘The governor was granted a change of venue from Springfield to Wau-| kegan when he charged he could not | get justice among his political] enemies in a trial at the state capital. | Waukegan’s distinguished guest | Was in town prepared to transact | state business from his headquarters at the Salvation Army hotel during | his stay. | Small and Verne Curtis, banker, indicted with him, were in court} when the case was called. Fred Sterling, Neutenant governor, also} Under indictment, did not ask for a} change of venue, and will be tried at | ngfield. indictments aguinst Small charge Specifically that he corspired with Curtis to embezzle $2,000,000 from) the exchequer when he served as| state treasurer in 1916-1918, and that the two did pocket $500,000. CHARGE MONEY _ WAS POCKETED SS Smail, the prosecution alleged, lent | 4 Money to Curtis’ bank, which 1s} charged, only existed on paper, at a Tow rate of interest. The bank loaned ‘the money out at a higher rate to} _ Chicago packers, the Indictments / claim, and the difference was pock-| eted by the two. Gov attorneys argued on the old political ' theory that “the king can do no | _ wrong.” and therefore the chief ex ecutive could not be arrested. | Judge Smith, at Springfield, over _ ruled the arguments when he poe “There is no king in Illinois. The | Bovernor can be arrested.” ‘ Small then started out on an ex- tensive tour of state highways, car- _ fying with him a small army of field clerks, to transact state business. He later returned to Springfield and gave himself up. Small charges his political enemies > have conspired with traction barons ‘and the cement trust to destroy him.

He saw there was no future for himself as a coal miner, so he quit and bought a farm. He studied constantly. He became one of the state's most earnest students of economics. He had vision. Seattle can thank him for that, He taught Seattle a port district was needed and then de- veloped it. Perhaps you don’t agree with his political beliefs. The majority in the state did not agree with him at the last election. But, Robert Bridges was a man’s man, a vigorous fighter, a thinker, a dreamer with ability to make many of his dreams come true. He was one of the state’s strongest men, The strongest characteristic of Robert Bridges was his powerful will, his determination, his belief in his own cause, his confidence in himself. He might have made himself rich, but his will didn’t turn that way. He might have gone high in politics, but he wasn’t an opportunist, he was a stubborn, unbending progressive. The dreamer in him failed to soften his determination tho it guided him into lanes where even he admitted he could not hope to take the majority. A radical? Sometimes. He said so himself. A builder? A success? Even his most bitter political foes admire him in death, for they see the greatness of his actual ac- complishment, Robert Bridges was a man.
