Both are co-partners with the public, of which they are a part. If there is harmony and confidence in the operation of American industry all three should and will prosper," Foxwell said.

Pamphlet Charges Dismissed Friday
District Attorney Asks for Withdrawal Because of Lack of Evidence
The next move in the solution of the mystery of the "Fools Rush In" pamphlet is up to either District Attorney-elect George F. Holden or the county grand jury following dismissal of charges against the three remaining defendants upon motion of District Attorney William F. Menton.
Holden has indicated that one of his first tasks after assuming office January 3 will be to thoroughly investigate the case, and if sufficient evidence is obtained, prosecute those responsible. In the meantime, the grand jury which was called in September to probe the matter, may step in and take action of evidence it accumulated.
Menton Asks Dismissal
Menton, in a surprise move in Superior Judge G. K. Scovel's court Friday afternoon, moved that the case against G. F. McKelvey, suspended deputy sheriff; Robert Elliott, Los Angeles printer; and Eddie Taylor, employee of a Los Angeles distributing firm, be dismissed.
“This case,” Menton told Judge Scovel, “took some three weeks to try in the preliminary hearing. We have endeavored since then to discover additional evidence and we have been unable to find any more. There is hardly enough evidence to justify holding these men to answer to superior court—and there certainly is not enough to justify the enormous expense of a trial, which probably would last weeks and cost between $3000 and $4000, on the meager evidence we have. I do not feel justified in placing this additional burden on the taxpayers.
“Served Political Purpose”
“This thing has served its political purpose.”
Judge Scovel granted the district attorney's motion, thus ending the lengthy legal proceedings which began three weeks before the general election and ended a few all three should and will prosper," Foxwell said.

Foxwell touched upon the communistic problem in the United States at this time pointing out the number of such organizations and their wide-spread activities. President Everett M. Cone of the Merchants association named a committee to arrange the activities for next year. H.E.W. Barnes was chosen chairman with others to serve being O.H.Renner, Kurt Einstein, F.A.Yungbluth, George Henry, Victor G.Loly, Henry M. Adams, Miss Mona Taggart and Mrs.Mabel Masterson.
