«MONDAY, JANUARY 21, 1924 HOLT FACTION BEGINS FIGHT ON HH. PERRY Replying to G. S. Wooledge, | He Asserts Perry Has Sought Political Deal UHARGES LEAGUE AID) | Democratic ‘Secretary Goes | Ahead with Call For Val- | ley City Meeting , Jan, 21.—A| is being launched in the Demo- | eratic party of the state against the | re-election of H. H. Perry of Ellen- | dale as national committeeman. This | is made plain in a letter dispatched | by Henry Holt, 8. | Wooledge, state chairman, defending state committee meet- yalley eCity ‘on Jan- after Wooledge had refused Holt also had dispatched the formal call to delegates. In the letter he declares indircetly that Wooledge is supporting H. IH. Perry for national committeeman and sserts that a deal is being made vhereby if Demoe President were clecte rry would work with Senators Frazier and Ladd to save “their machine from collapse.” le also charges that the. attitude of Wooledge is an aid to the Nonparti- san League. Mr secretar, the call of Holt's letter follows: Wooledge, Chairman, ¢ State Central Com- Minot, North Dakota. I am surprised that you oppose the call for a meeting of the Democratic | State Central Committee sent out by ‘me yesterday. Your attitude is so extraordinary that I should be drawn to certain facts, which, though of recent) occurrence, may be overiooked by democrats who do not constantly think inf terms of patronage and politics, like some of yeur friends and associates. “It will be easy then to understang the real \noti call the meeting, although you an- nounced last December that you would call a meeting “early in Jan- uary” for the very purpose I sug- gest in my call. You say that I have been imposed | on and that the call is in the inter- } est of persons who are not much con- cerned with the success of the party in national aff If I can help it, I intend that_no democrat, shall be ed into following the leaders vhose political and personal ambi- 4ions you now represent, by this hypocritical assumption on your part of the role of 4 Knight of ihe Na- tional Democracy. I am going toj show you before I close this letter that you are tied up with the very leaders who have publicly avowed their opposition to ,the democratic party and pledged their support to the present republican president and his policies. The fact that these as- sociates and allies of yours may have pledged their support to Mr. Cool- e from motives of expediency ather than conviction, is beside the point. Anybody who knows the sen- ior senator from this state, the can- didate for Ambassador to Mexico— as if Mexico had not suttered—and the nan of the Nonpartisan League wing of the Republican state committee, will understand that ex- pediency, not principle, had always been the controlling motive of their lives. Says Call Legal. opposed to a meeting be- ‘contrary to the primary election law. My dear Gay, I un- derstand you ave a lawyer. It can- not be possible that you had not heard of this primary law last De- cember when you said you would call a meeting for the very purpose I mention in my call. In March, 1920, you took part in just such a meeting in Fargo, were endorsed as a candidate for delegate to San Fran- cisco, and with the rest of us put up a strenuous fight for the candidates sed, against some of the very then with wnom you now are working dnd who then shouted, with simu-* lated horror, “the action of the mect- ing violates the primary law.” In May, 1920, the democrats again met in conference in Fargo and endorsed candidates for all state offices; you were a member of and reported for th enoniinating committee. Surely, you would, not be a pasty to action that “violates the spirit of the pri- mary law.” In May, 1922, you again took part in a conference at James- frown, where the democrats endorsed a complete ticket fyom U. 8.

It is sheer hypocrisy ‘to talk about violating the primary Haw in this connection and no one kné@ws that better than you. The socialist leaders who have unsuccess- fully tried to control our party or- nization sinee 1916 h alw pretended much concern over tie |primary law when we have gathered Jour forces to fight them. Why do you now join hands with then? Why ido you assign a false and lypocriti- ical reason for changing your mind jand refusing to call the committee together? You know that 4n a presi- dential year we have always had suc! 1 meeting. When a man gives a alse explanation of his conduct, iv is my obser planation ig wrong or dishonorable. and Ky ‘ounscllor of Senators Ladd ana id Lemke, and such demo- vyats Hellstrom, Maloney and Hard, always objected to a meeting of this kind, but we had them notwithstand- ing, because we knew these men were not democrats at heart. It is discon- certing to find you aligned with them now. There must be a reason; nore of this later. You say you will later call a mect- ing of conference, but not to en- dorse candidates. Why call a meet- ing at all? The independent, anti- socinlist members of the republican committee have met for the purpose against those who would control in the interest” of the Frazier-Ladd- Lemke combination., Hergtofore, as | have pointed out, you believed in ja meeting to endorse candidates in | order to present a united front; now | you say it is all wrong. The fact is that such a mecting is more es sential now than ever before because the leaders of the league have decid- ed that they want to control the Democratic organization so that if a democratic president be elected, they will have no difficulty in placing the federal jobs among their friends. This you Know, and understanJ; and | the dehfocrats in the state are going to know and-understand it, if i can accomplish it. Not For Candidate You insinuate I have ¢nileq’ this meeting in the interest of s can- didates. This base insinuation you know to be false.

I have no slate of candidates; 1 am not a mem- ber of the committee and have no vote at its meetings. The com- mittee, however, is the official organ of the party in the state, and I mean that it shall be informed of what is state; I never shall compromise with If the committee is ready to make such a compromise on matters of principle in the interest of patro- nage, under your leadership, it can do so. ¥TI predict, however, that if you succeed in making our state com- with the Ladd-Frazier-Lemke faction of the republican party, there will be some demécrate who will refuse to follow the new leadership.

Mr. Wooledge, the “democrats” you have been conferring with late |are not the democrats who have kept {the party respectable in the against radicalism in this state dur- ing the past seven years. Under their leadership, in a state over- whelmingly _ republican, — relatively more votes have been cast for the democratic candidates than at any other time in our history. In the last campaign a republican governor conducted a strenous speaking c paign for a democrgtie candidate for United States senator, and a repub- | lican press almost unanimously sup- ported him, when some of the “dem- j ocrats” with whom you have been: recently “conferring” secretly or openly opposed him. I am not ready to deal with those who helped elect Senator Frazier against Mr, O’Con- nor, even if they call themselves | demoer now. They should re- pent in sack cloth and ashes before | the democratic party gives them its‘ confidence again. National Deal Charged. To the “Man from Mars” the situa- tion you have precipitated looks as follows: A democratic candidate for national committeeman, whom you ae supporting, has suddenly recall- ed that during his incumbency of | that office and while a democratic ad- ministration was_in power, perfectly ccmpetent democrats were turned down for postmasterships at F Dickinso, Grand works and oth plac, certain republicans were named; t the democrats quite generally {cel there should b a real democrat | in the officé of national committeeman ‘who will bé able to present to the i dministration with some force tge jclaims of North Dakota democrats to | recognition at Washington, if a dem- jocratic president be elected; that | Lada and Frazier look with alarm | upon the crumbling political machin- y that was once their joy and pride d see the possibility of democratic success nationally. It also appea |to. this Martian visitor that if Ladd and Frazier can “deal” with the | democratic national committeeman, | they can save their machine from \ collapse; that such a deal has been made and that in consideration of [the promise of this candidate for { committeeman to do what he and his friends can to get the league leade¢ back into power in this state, thes league leaders will look after the fed- eral patronage with him and see that his appointments.go through, provid- ed they are satisfactory to the sena- tors. Yes, such is the appearance of things, not only to the Man from Mars, but to an increasing number of democrats. They are not going | to stand for it. The democrats have | nothing for sale or barter. Let the State Committee decide. I have done my duty in laying hefore it, what Icon ceive to he a crisis confronting the party. I am, confident that the par- ty will not depart from its honor- able policy of “no compromise with wrong” and permit ‘a small coterie of job-seeKets to seduce the party into an unholy alliance with the Ladd-Frazier-Bloom-Maloney-P err y group, whose only interest in poli- | ties seems to be the patronage con- nected with success at the polls. + Very sincerely yours, (Signéd) Henry Holt, Secretary, Democratic State Central Com- mittee. ts St. Thomas’.
