After go- ing over the matter, I nsented and later Mr. Keller wired that he would take the matter up at Washington. I was not seeking a federal job but had been at Minot and the border and knew the force was in a deplorable condition and that law enforcement and prohibition were being disci ed- ited hy the action {Md inaction of some federal prohibition agents. The matter of my appointment came to a showdown and. letters came to various people from Mr. Keller that I could not now be appointed ana giving various reasons, A_ lot of yeo- ple wrote in asking for my appbint- ment and last week Mr. Keller phoned me that he~would appoint me if ! would,accept the job of group chiet “¢ Nebraska. not after a job, that 1 only consented begause I wanted to clean up Minot and the whiskey runners and declined to take the Nebraska job., Later °T met Mr. Keller in Minot and told him the whiskey runner. business' was de- plorable and a disgrace‘ and that nothing effective was being done to stop it; that I had been at the border. and I knew I could stop it if given federal power and any reasonable number of men. I said ‘you ean ap- point a man whose record has been against-law enforcement to the group chief of South Dakota but you won’ appoint.a man whom you know will break this whiskey ring if given a chance.’ Mr. Keller said that he had a great many letters asking for my appointment but that a few leading influential Democrats has objected to the appointment and that it would cause friction, if [#were appointed. He again stated that he would ap point me to Nebraska. Statements Reiterated. . “Later the same day these state- ments were reiterated by Mr. Keller in a bank in Minot in the presence of afi officer of the bank and M again stated that leading infl Demecrats—had objected to my pointment) and I said that th Democtats live in Minot and Ikely belong to the whiskey ring 2nd do nv want Minot cleaned up or the whiske runners stopped. some of the leading Democrats who D- likely objected and said‘to Mr Kalle that he had a chance to get a ” who would clean out the whiskey ring, Mr. Keller then stated that he would or Minnesota as group chief if 1 woul! take either and later when we parted he mentioned it and left the way open. I would like Mr. and I think the people of, North Da- kota would like him, to say who these, leading influential Democrats are Mr. Hildreth has asked for my ap- pointment -in as strong language as is possible.
