-
Irving Pincus : Can we help it if the people rise to support this administration's stand against the Red menace!
Sheriff Hartman : Personified by Mr. Earl Williams. The guy who loses his job he's held for 14 years, joins a parade of unemployed, and, because he's goofy from lack of food, waves a red handkerchief.
Irving Pincus : Williams is a dangerous radical! And he killed a policeman.
Jimmy Murphy : Williams is a poor bird who had the tough luck to kill a colored policeman in a town where the colored vote counts!
