The vast profits accruing to or-
ganized crime under official protection
are easily calculated when this
amount is considered. It is apparent
to every citizen that it is worth mil-
lions of dollars for the underworld to
have a right candidate win out in
the coming election.
If those criminal elements were
so eager to see that I would not be
the Republican nominee for state's at-
torney, it seems obvious that they will
be doubly anxious to prevent my
wielding the powers of the state's at-
torney's office. At this moment they
are organizing, ready to add their
vast resources to the fight against
candidates who will not coöperate
with them.
The voters of Chicago raised their
voices last April in a great outcry
against conditions as they were. They
must not be lulled into the belief that
the fight has been won. Chicago is
still under the dominance of officials
who are allies of the disreputable ele-
ment. Not until the criminal-politica
combination has been overwhelmingly
defeated in November may the citi-
zenry rest easy.
