Illinois Democratic committee seeks dismissal of editor and postmaster
In Curiaco on September 3 a closed door meeting of the Democratic state central committee adopted a resolution urging federal inquiry into the alleged ties of well known Democratic editor and postmaster Tl. W. Clendenen of Springfield with the corrupt legislative printing combine. If he aided the combine he may be dismissed from office as unfit for any official role under the current national administration. The resolution also denounces the alleged ties with the scumbine of Gay Oglesby and other Republican state officers. Clendenen denies the committee's jurisdiction, while promoters argue removal by the president is needed to weaponize the state printing against Republican office holders.
