BACKERS Start New, Court Action To Keep Senator’s Name on Ballot LEMBKE I$ REVERSED Supreme Court’ Holds He Did Not Give Proper Notice of Hearing e ‘ ISSUES ALTERNATIVE WRIT Judge Lembke at Mandan today issued an alternative writ to re- strain Thomas Hall from send- ing out any ballots without the name of R. M. LaFollette upon thenr affirming in substance if not in form his original position remanded back by the supreme court late yesterday. This order is made returnable at Stanton, March 15. F. O. Hellstrom and Joseph Coghlan appeared for the petitioners. ~ To Hear Case . District Judge Lembke was pre- pared to heag the further appli- cation for a& order keeping La- Follette’s name off the ballot, in Mandan this afternoon, Attorneys for R. A. Kinzer and others of the LaFollette-for-Presi- dent organization were to go before Distrjct Judge F. T. Lembke today and éndeavor to show that Robert M. LaFollette has openly or tacity been # candidate for the Republican nom- .., ination for the presidency of the United States. ~ This course was determinéd upon by attorneys for Kinzer after the su- preme court hearing and order of yesterday afternoon, and discussion of judges during the argument. The attitude was taken by Joseph Cogh- lan, attorney for Kinzer, that the court indicated that if La¥ollette was a candidate for president ne did not have a right to prevent the vot- ets of North Dakota from expressing their attitude on that candidacy. The court, having in a session af- ter the usual hours of the court be- cause of the emergency of time, is- sued an order tast’night » reversing " ONLY Photo shows Mrs. Mae BP.

A BALLOTS PRINTED | | Last night, after the supreme | | court had reversed the Fambke | | decision Secretary of Stae Hall | notified printers in Fargo to be- | | gin printing the ballots, with La- | Follette’s name left off. | The supreme court, announced ,a per curiam opinion, Justice Christ- ianson not participating because his vife is a candidate for presidential elector. The opinion, being tentative, wa@not given, but the order of the court follows: 5 “It follows that the judgment must he reversed by reason of. the} failure of the trial court to giye an oppor- tunity to the Secretary of State to be heard as required by law, ‘This necessitates remanding the case to the trial court. for gompliance with the statutory, requisites. Further the respondent contends before this court that\upon a hearing he wiii be able to establish that Robert M. Follette is an agpirant for the pre. dency of the United States on the Republican ticket pursuant to@section 910, C. L, 1911. In view of thé limit of time expedition is required, “Therefore this cause willbe re- manded immediately to the trial court for appropriate prvceedings in the premises.” Argument Before Court Arguments of attorneys in support of and against the retention of the name of LaFollette on the presiden- tial primary ballot in North Dakota developed gon broad grounds before the supreme. court and hinged iarge- lyon interpretation ‘of section 910 of the Code. This law, enacted in the year 1911 by the legislature, said in part: i “In the presidential election years, the qualified electors of the. political s) artiés subject to this law shall have e opportunity to vote for their pre- * ference,'on ballots provided for that purpose, for their choice, among those aspiring to be candidates of their respective parties for president and vice-president of the United States. Firat Assistant Attorney-Gencral John Thorpe, arguing late yesterday before the coart that LaFollette had the right to withdraw-as a candidate, declared’ that it was not contemplated . - by the legislature that a man should 4 be forced to be @ candidate against ‘nis will. So far as the-record before the cpurt. was involved, he asserted, LaFollette is not a candidate for the presidency, since thee was no show- ing that he was; and the Seppopceny he said, offered the telegram to th + Secretary of State asking withdrawal of his name. Reads Letter _ ‘Mr. Thorpe also read to the curt -j 8 letter’ LaFoligtte sent to C. J. Ol- son of Valley City, head of the John- son forces, in’ which tthe Wisconsin Senator said he was’ withdrawing, from other states, ; aed on page land convention. Senator LaFollette followed the wire with a letter to H. N. Tucker, Hiram. Johnson compaign manager in the state, received here today. The Wisconsin senator's let- ter to Mr. Tucker follows: My dear Mr. Tucker: I have sent the following telegram to C. J. Olson, chairman of the La- Follette- Campaign Committee, of North Dakota, which I believe will serve to answer your letter: “I greatly «appreciate the splendid messages that have come from you and numerous other friends urging me to restore my-name to the North Dakota presidential primary ballot, and assuring me of your strong sup- port. [ fecl that I should state to you frankly the reasons for my action. “I did not ask to have my name placed on the ballot, and I have now withdrawn from the’ North Dakota Republican’ primary for the same rea- sons that have controlled me in re- fusing to be a candidate in the pri- maric8 of other states. 5 present duty lies in ,the - Senate of the United States, where events of far-reaching importante are’ oc ring. I cannot leave my post here, where my voice and my vgte may be of some service to the nation, in or- der to promote my personal interests as T have always been to permit my name to stand in a campaign whe I-cannot personally participate in placing the issues before the people. I cannot ask my friends to fight for my interests when I am unable to do my share of the fighting. “I believe you will agree that I can best serye the people of North Dako- ta and other states by remaining in’ Washington and sceking to segure enactment of the legislation that they need, “In the second place, I have no il- lusions about the Cleveland conven- tion, The steam-roller will be oper: ated there by the same forces that controlled it in 1912 and other years, The arbitrary increase of the unrep- resentative Southern delegations is sufficient proof of this, “Wisconsin will send a strong pro- gressive: delegation to Cleveland to fight for fundamental principles; and I earnestly hope that*North Dakota will, send you and ‘other tyied and true progressives as delegates to sup- port them in voieing the demand of the people that the government of the United States shall serve tym and not the monopolistg and exploit- ers whose sinister activities in Tea- pot Dame and elsewhere are now be- ing disclosed.” s T cannot closgy however, without expressing my deep personal appre- ciation @f the support of loyal friends in North Dakota with whom I have always been in accord and sympathy. r.

COOLIDGE “FARMER AID ors Actiori by Congress to} This End, Announced FOR Mar, 5.—President Coolidge is in entire accord with the desire to assist the farmers of the northwest and those of the country generally through the present pcriod pression, it was stated officially rday, but ‘has arrived at n> de- n as‘to the form such aid should take. Officials of the department of agriculture are expected to submit recommendations to the _ president upon the various legislative propo- sals_now assuming shape in congress: The first of these measures—the Norbeck-Burtness bill proposing a $75,000,000 federal fund to finance diversification of — crops—occupied the attention of the senate for the ‘entire session yesterday, and, was still the unfinished business when, 2 recess, was taken with no indication of when a vote would be had. Opposition to the Norbeck-Burt- ness bill ranged all the way from the position voiced by Senator Wads- worth, Republican, New York, who classed it as “fruitless paternalism” to that of Senator Gooding, Republi- can, Iowa, who held that it should be laid Aside in favor of the McNary; Haugen bill, proposing a $100,000,000 corporation to export surplus farm products. The latter measure would aid all agriculture, Senator Gooding insisted, and would accomplish the same purpose ‘designed to be effected “locally” by the bill before the sen- ate.

JOHNSTON DEAD ~ Lansing, Mic 5.—Anyone who doubts the existence of the “Hiram Johnston” whose name was certified for the Michigan presiden- tial primary dlection and then or- dered stricken from the ballot may have visual proof that he lives by accompanying John Baird, state con- servation commissioner, into the swamps of Zilwaukee township next Saturday. Baird hurled this challenge to the sceptics today almost at the time newspaper men learned that a ‘“Hiram Johnston” who lived in the same neighborhood as Baird's “Zi |waukee Hiram” died last July and is| buried in a Bay City cemetery. Baird today said he filed the Johnston pe- tition “because I wanted to show that the Michigan presidentia}: preferen- tial primary law is a joke.” John- ston consented to “run,” Baird said, saying it would be “fun to sce my name in the papers,” “Zilwaukee Hiram’ made Baird promise, the commissioner said, that he would have to make no speeches, ONE IS BURIED Bay City, Mich. Mar, 6.—“Hiram Johnston” is dead. He was buried in’Oak Ridge cemetery here last July. Thus further confusion is added to the Michigan presidential pri- mary efection of April 7, next, in which the name of “Hiram Johnston” was to have appeared in the Republi- can column together with the names of Senator Hiram W. Johnson of Cal- ifornia,@President Calvin Coolidge and William G, Simpson of Detroit. Jdhnston’s name was _ ordered stricken from the ballot yesterday by Secretary of State Charles Deland upon receipt of a letter purporting to come from “Hiram Johnston” of Zil- waukee towhship, The letter was a serawled sentence asking simply that his name be withdrawn, It was dat- ed “Milburne, Michigan” and was presented to the Secretary of State by John Baird, state conservation commissioner, whose home is at Zil- waukee, The letter bore no post- mark, “Milbourne” is not listed in postoffice guides. The correct name of the man who died last July, is on the records as Martin Hiram Johnston. He was better known as “Paddy” Johnston. He lived in a house boat on the Sag- inaw river-and was employed as a watchman by the North American Chemica! Company of this city. pee TS OSS NEW POSTMASTERS NAMED FOR NORTH DAKOTA TOWNS Hogh C, Corrigan, Fargo postmast- er, yesterday. reporteg the following appointments of North Dakota post- masters: Goldwin, N.

MINE y TELEGRAMS Washington, March 5. (By the A. | P.)—While the oil committee was ob- | taining more important information in a private examination of tele- | ;Srams today, opposition developed to tne confirmation of Samuel Knight of.) San Francisco to be special govern- ment counsel in the litigation for the recovery of California oil lands from the Standard: Oil Company of California, Senator Walsh of Montana, pros- ecutor of the oil inquiry, announced that he had been “feliably inform- ed” that Mr. Knight is counsel for j the Equitable Trust Company of New Yqgrk which is a Rockefeller bank. According,to this information Sen- ator Walsh said Mr. Knight now is engaged in litigation for that bank in California. He added that if the story proves correct it would be a basis for opposing confirmation by the senate. Mr. Knight was selected by Pres ident Coolidge to bring action under a resolution offered by Senator Walsh and unanimously adopted by. both the house and senate. Senator Walsh was not consulted in the se- lection. Examine Telegrams Foregoing its usual public hearing to examine gelegraph records sent here from Palm Beach ‘the oil com- mittee today found further refer- ence to the “principal” mentioned in one of the McLean telegrams pre- viously read into the record.

Ira E, Bennett, an editorial writer of the Washington Post, he au- thor of one of the “principal” mes- sages sent from Washington, Jan. 29 to Edward B. McLean, publisher of jthe Post. The committee has infor- | mation that the reference was not to Attorney-General Daugherty as he was himself in’ Florida at that time.
