eerste * 2 & * Stavisky Octopus Far- CLOAKED BY ORGANIZATION Reaching es * * * & Known As Grand Orient Lodge By FULTON THATCHER GRANT | CHAPTER FIFTEEN i PART I I have purposely avoided dealing} with all the implications tnis word | maffia involves until this moment, for under it lies something so serious, so! deep-rooted that it cannot be lightly) undertaken. Objectively, let us re- view the ramifications and criss- cross intertwining of lines, the inter-| locking of operations, all connected; directly or indirectly with Stavisky. As far away as French Guiana in South America we have seen his plans laid and the fatal vengeance of his hand. In Germany the Barmat Kon- zern, whose famous offices were at 44 Unterdenlinden and whose operations were on a huge international basis, is directly associated with Stavisky’s group in France. Furthermore, it will be shown elsewhere that under the cloak of world-wide banking systems this Stavisky-Barmat association was engaged in international espionage on a tremendous scale. We have seen! Stavisky’s finger-prints in Hungary. His “jobs” in Switzerland were brought out by the Commission's probing. In Belgium he was known as Victor Boitel, and he subtracted no small amount of money from the mind” behind the nefarious works of the Lodge but little by little the feel- ing of the man in the street had be- ceme 80 hostile to both Chautemps and the order that they might just as well have said so.

CITIZENS VIEW OF HISTORY rek, N. D. Aug. 6, 1934. Editor Tribune: Langer the citizen of North Dakota has been waiting for that new deal. It took almost 19 months for this new deal to develop and get ripe. But it finally got so ripe it busted just like an over-ripened water melon. and/‘and what a bust that was. The biggest in the history of our state. The crash was so big it’s headed our tentiary with a $10,000.00 fine on its back. ‘What 2 new deal North Dakota has experienced during these 19 months. How many thousands of dollars the new deal has saved the state. But let them show us where the saving is; what have they done with it; where did they put all the thousands of dol- lars that were saved? Let us just trace back to September 22, 1933, the special election which defeated Langer and all his tricks. The only thing the special election brought forth was the partial repeal of the 18th amendment which, if conducted right by the legislature, could have been passed. But the state had thousands of dollars to spend for @ special election. The election pass- ed by. We were all wondering what was going to take place next. And there were plenty of things taking Place behind the curtains while the People and taxpayers of North Da- *|kota were looking and waiting for the curtains to rise and see the show, but it almost took 14 1onths for these curtains to rise. It took all this time for the characters of this show to practice their parts. But what a flop that show turned out to be when fin. 1 |ally the curtain arose. There on the stage we see now our, ex-Governor Langer, our Highway Commissioner Vogel and several other good political leaders sitting before our federal justice and our federal g| district attorney, all of them facing charges of conspiracy. There on the stage, were sitting some numbers of our best prosecuting attorneys of North Dakota, once Langer‘s bitter enemies, trying to defend one of our biggest and best prosecuting attorneys of North Dakota, elected as Governor of North Dakota and now being prose- cuted as one of the biggest conspira- tors of our state. My what a new deal this turned out to be. Well, let us proceed with the show. There in a lonely chair, is sit- ting our district attorney, all by him- self with one or seven of the defense attorneys against one. The show fin- ally began. The seats daily being filled to capacity with William Langer, our great Governor, being the leading character in the act. The show lasted for a period of four long weeks, un- til finally, after a long deliberation of the jury, the verdict suddenly spread one early Sunday morning. The newsboys with their piercing voices in the early stillness of the dawn, came shouting: “Extra, Extra, Governor Langer Found Guilty of Conspiracy.” What 2 shock that was to the Lang- erites at the primary election in June. ‘They gave him an overwhelming ma- jority of votes, not even realizing at the time the7 were electing a felon to office. On Friday, after receiving this over-whelming majority of votes, our months in Federal pen, and fined $10,000. Now the people can see where the new deal is headed for. Of course Ole Olson came to take up the duties of governor, but the ex-governor said governor. ” Plans and getting resolutions ready for the solons to take action. ‘This Procedure went on until the late hours of the night. The wild Langerites of Bismarck, with a very small number, were shouting and still yelling: “We \Want Langer,” but Langer’s hours were getting few and short. The next morning came. William Langer vacat- ed the governor's office which he so loved. Our Acting Governor came to take up his duties. The militia, now under his command, came to the door and rapped. The door came open and slammed shut right in front of Olson’s face. Once more the rap was repeat- ed, and this time Governor Olson walked into his new office and took —|up the duties of the State of North Dakota. What a mess, what a mess {did the acting governor face that morning. There were the corridors just full .of people marching and Since the election of ex-Governor| Walking back and forth. The legisle- tors were getting ready to convene at 12 o'clock, noon. The cries of the hundreds and thousands of farmers and workers that were going to seat Langer as governor. Bang! went the great axe of Ole Olson about 10 a. m., that morning. That put a stop to the legislators. ‘Thus, my dear friends and fellow new deal toward the federal peni.| Citizens, ended our new deal. Wil- Mam Langer and his leaders still shouting “I am the people’s governor,” still dazed from the blow of Governor Olson's heavy axe, but walking in a dream. The legislators were deter- mined to convene, so at 12 o'clock, noon, they called the session at the house and senate. Without a quorum in either house or senate, they ad- journed until the next day after noon at2p.m. Still in the dazed condition because of the great axe, some of the teal leaders of nad caer spas were ing, running and calling the rep- Pesstiacives of the house. For in- stance the great labor leader, Pat. Flannigan, was rushing back and forth through the crowd calling and pulling for more attendance. My dear friends what kind of a ruling of state govern- ment would you call this? Mob rule? ;Why not? Senator Bonzer, Jr., tried Inara to get a quorum in the senate but has failed. He tried to pass a resolution to condemn U. 8. Senator Nye and our Honorable President, Franklin D. Roosevelt. What a fine senator you are, Senator Bonzer, Jr. A great protector of humanity you turned out to be. The great march came, the number being about 250 in all. They came marching up the steps at the great capital of North Dakota, with them @ little old-time band. It played a national hymn. Governor Olson came out and addressed the (great big) crowd. In return they all cheer- ed him and played him the great American hymn, “the Star Spangled Banner,” and thus ended the blood- shed that was going to destroy Ole Olson, the acting governor. ‘These shouts came from one great Labor Fakir of Bismarck who shout- ed “they are coming to eat that Swede,” but, my dear friends and fellow men, I am afraid that you are going to have to eat on Governor Ole Olson for the next 6 months. I think you are going to get pretty tired of chewing by the time the fall election comes. I hope the people of North Dakota will realize the condition of our state and the condition of our government by fall. The next step came when the Cen- tral Republican committee meet here in Bismarck last week and nominated Mrs, William Langer for governor in the fall election. William Langer, resigning as a candidate, made the statement that he is not eligible to run on account of his conviction. My dear readers and voters of North Dakota, are you going to submit, your selves to a woman dictatorship or are you going out and defeat this great falsehood of a political machine that has been operating in our state! in the last 18 months? Are you go- ing to donate your bread and butter to this great dictatorship of Wil- liam Langer’s and let the government feed you? It is just too bad for governor was sentenced to serve 18)you Langer sympathizers that you can not see your Way clear. Thal moratorium he has made and all the relief he has given you! You still think it is William Langer that paved the way, but give president Roose- velt these honors, my dear fellow farmers and workers.
