Hobart Oct 8. Possibly the rank-
est Injustice over done an official was
that perpetrated on J. G. Harris pqHce
Judge. The Hobart News-Republican

refused to do their bidding. Charges
were trumped up and sent broadcast
to both Republican and Democratic pa-
pers. The hollowness of the charges
Is shown In the following from the Ho-
bart News-Republican ot yesterday.
The N.-U. lins beeh relentless in con-
demning Harris. The "article reads:
"An Injustloe. In yesterday's Issueot
the News-Republlcau we staled that
Police Judge Harris had been arraign-
ed In court on tho charge of accepting
money from gamblers of the city with
the understanding that lie allow them
to conduct operations. We now tlnd
that he was not arraigned and that he
was not Indicted'
