Mayor Thompson issued a breath-taking broadside against his old foe, the Chicago Tribune. Prepared as a 16-page folder in rotogravure by the advertising firm of Conine & Millner, one million copies were distributed to voters. Its caption: "The Tribune Shadow - Chicago's Greatest Curse." The gist of the Thompson argument within was that the Tribune, by discrediting Chicago's Mayor, had discredited Chicago and blighted its prosperity. The Mayor complained of the paper's "photographic lies" of him, contrasted Tribune pictures of himself with retouched studio portraits. "The Tribune's Lies Have Made the World...

Magistrate Vitale, finding himself enmeshed in a case which involved three of the most unsavory names in recent New York history-Marlow, Yale, Rothstein-kept his peace...
...Greensburg, Pa., new convicts at Westmoreland County jail were presented by the warden with a "greetings" folder such as hotels hand their guests. Excerpts : "My friend, for a little while you and I are compelled to live under the same roof, and, in a way, to be in each other's company. You come without invitation from me. Probably you had no intention that we should meet in this way. Probably you have made a mistake, perhaps done wrong. I have done both. Let us both, the little while we are together, try to do as we would...
