The statement is in part as follows: * * * T went out to the capitol butpMr. Hagan Was attending a meeting and I could not find Mr. Lemke.

He stated that we could meet with Mr. Hagan about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. * * * In Hagan’s of- fice* * * Lemke introduced me to ‘Ha- gan and I proceeded to tell my story. I stated that we wanted to be appoint- ed the official paper. “I felt that the soldiers and sail- ors in the state were entitled to some consideration. We intended to make it'a paper worth while, operated by soldiers and sailors entirely, and were going to run a strictly union shop. I Stated that the soldiers and sailors and farmers had a great many inter- ests incommon. This is a day of or- ganization and the soldiers and sail- ors are entitled to organize as well as all the rest. They both agreed: with me, “They wanted to know if we had ‘ought the ran-~ and I told them that we onlv’ had an option on it.
