He said: “Hiram Johnson is a progressiye re- publican aud he stands nearer todas to your and my yiews than any othe* candidate in the field. I haye been all over the state, and I fing that North him, Dakota progressives are for Knowing this, the ‘old gang’ is an effort to climb on the agon hy coming out for him. when they well know that we have been for him all the time.” Wehe’s statement occasioned some surprise, in qiew of the fact that John- son has hada campaign organization at work in this state for several months, while it was only last week that the Nonpartisan league endorsed the Californian and appointed for him a volunteer campaign committee, de- claring at thé same time that Senator ‘Johnson's state manager. Richard Sel- den Wilcox, a former leaguer who is how much anti-league, had been de- posed. Senator Johnson at St. Paul denied, any agreement with the league and any-disagreement with his state manager. who arranged | Johnson's present speaking tour and agcompanied dim inh ing around the state. WANT SLICE OF MELON Wehe declared the old gang ‘was endeavoring to steal back the republi- can party...“They’re trying to get back in’ power--they're, trying to get the Nonpartisans—the progressive re- publicans if you please to split the melon with the old ¢ “We gang. are the constituted republican in this state. We are stronger today than we were when they starten out with their illegal conventions, with their illegal purpose behind them,” de- clared Wehe, referring to the republi- can state conventions | previously held in the capital city. “The old gang hag got hold of the I. V. A. by a trick. They're all to- gether now. We've got ’em where we want ’em. We're fighting for a straight, progressive republican party. and tltere’s no way they can keep us from winning.” DISCUSS FREE LOVE Altho the convention had denied any interest in state issues, Wehe. at the request of Attorney George M. Gan- non of Ashley, who declared that “ho didn’t know vers much about frec love. but knows enough to know that it was one of the rankest slanders ever perpetrated in our fair state.” Gives Him and; { devoted an hour to a ¢ law librarian and legislative librar- ian, etc., in addressing | vising them that they are expected to contribute to the Townley fund. re Coghlan declares that his auth- | ority. comes from the chairman of the republican state central committee. | He insists, also, that checks be made payable to “cash.” The form letter which Townl “strong-arm” squad is using follows: (Copy) STATE OF NORTH DAKOTA SUPREME COURT BISMARCK Joseph Coghlan, Supreme Court Reporier Law Libriarian and, Legislative Reference Librarian Bismarck, Dak. Jan, an 1920. I am atthorized- by the chairman of the republican central committee North Dakota to. solicit campigu for the coming primary cam- n in this state. Any money you may contribute will ibe used in farth ering the interests of the administra- tion now in power in North Dakota. As you no doubt know, it is cus- during politicai campaigns for every one holding office under the administration under which he is working, if he believes such admin- listration is doing the right thing for ‘ussion of th recent state library expose. “preconcerted action hatched over the ystate unknown to many they were going to spring over the fe unknown to many of us that they were going to spring something on ‘the legislatuye and the state and make it a political issue. They came very near getting away with it. They t their alleged information from tue library and sent it out ‘in mimec- graphed form all over the state to fellows they thought were right, so that whey the opportune moment came they would have an uprising and 4 clamor all over the state—a clamot that our schools were being filled witm free love literature, socialist literature and I. W, W. literature. ONE DAMNABLE TRICK “That was the damnable trick they set for the last legislature, and if they could have gotten away with it. it might have meant the failure of all our wonderful state industries and the ruination of the political reputa- tion of men who have stood for the best interests of our state. Every: thing was all set for a representative to spring the trap. A few new books were-placed there in the state library just inside the door, on a shelf. in a circulating library box. because there was no other shelf for them. And this representative walked in and found them there, and then he made the charge in the house that the 'ad- ministration was circulating free love literature and socialistic literature in the schools. .That was a damnable lie—the man who made the charge had no grounds to make it on. THREE WERE FAVORABLE “Then the house named a COMMIT- TEE OF THREE WHO WERE FAVORABLE, and two who were the other way to investigate the charges and they found they needed legal help. so the house called me in. The first thing I did was to subpoena Representative Burtness and make him come before this committee. He wouldn’t testify until he was threaten- ed with contempt. He got up and left the room and was told if he didn’t come back he would be tried for contempt of the house. This doesn’t appear in the record, bat it is true. THEN I TOOK HIM’ DOWN THE LINE. His testimony amounted to thi ‘My charges were based on rumor—I had, nothing to substantiate my charges.” That’s the record.
