WeTan the Hide * Another F rame-Up Case Fails % g League Organizer Falsely Charged With Disloyalty, Wins in Federal Court—Jury Oyt Less Than 30 Minutes z]OHN V. FREE, a Non- partisan league organ- other day of a charge of obstructing enlistments -in the United States army. The case against Free was typical of a dozen others brought against League men in Minnesota since the farmeérs began organizing for polit- ical co-operation. In the case of Free, however, the prosecution was brought in federal court. The political gangsters in Minnesota had brought all of their other actions in the state courts. By prosecuting John. V. Free in federal court the pohtlclans answered - the John V. Free, League organizer, who defied the political ring® of Minnesota " for the sake of principle and at great personal risk. He is about the twelfth League man to win in the courts after being framed-up by the old gang to terrorize League workers and to influence the elections. whose cases are now before the su- preme court, would ‘have been turned izer, was acquitted in scot-free had they been accorded the - hese Eauity Work, and Out- United States district privilege of a fair trial in federal ful value that we sond prepald; court 'in St. Paul the -court. them 50 well made, ‘stylish and John Free was an organizer for the Nonpartisan league in Wabasha coun- ty. In a'little over a year he signed up between 900 and 1,000 League members. This last fact explains the reason of the. prosecution backed by the political ring in Wabasha county. " The facts that John Free was born and reared on a farm in Wabasha county; that he was widely known among the farmers before he began organizing for the League through his official connection with the Farmers’ Co-Operative Shipping association of Wabasha county; that four of his brothers enlisted in the United States army—three of them in April, 1917— all’ of these facts counted not at all with the gang. The gang was after the League. ~ John Free explained everything on the witness stand when he related a conversation he had had with Dave McKenzie, the Republican political boss and, of course, the chairman of the safety commlssmn of Wabasha county. 0 THREAT BY OLD GANG LEADER -1 { According to John Free, McKenzie stopped him . ony the street in Lake " City in the fall of 1917 and said to him: “John, you've got to cut out this Nonpartlsan league stuff or I'll get you, if it’s the last thing I do.” Possibly, Dave thought he had a . better chance to “get” John outside *“of:Wabasha county. A tactical blun- der was committed, however, in bringing the case in federal court. A politician stands no hlgher than a Nonpartisan leaguer in Uncle Sam’s court. " There was an atmosphere of judi- cial calmness in the courtroom in the Federal building, where John Free was tried. Judge Page Morris pre- sided with dignity throughout and when the attorneys, including ‘the United States district attorney, failed to get clear statements from the wit- ADVERTISEMENTS EQUITY SHOES We Eliminate the Shoe Profiteer No Money in Advance such a big money-saving bar- gain that you will nurely be satisfled. y pay $5 and 38 for xhoes not near m Great Shoe Offer This shoe i8 built to meet the demand of an outdoor city workers® shoe as well as for the modern farmer, ., Built on DILIVIIID cial process lech leaves all the ‘Ilife” in tha leather and gives it wonderful wem‘-mslm.ln‘g1 aulu Very flexible, soft and easy on the feet. leir wear three ordinary Double leather soles and heels. irt and water-proof lanfiu Henvy chrome leather tops, most comfortable, easlest shoes you ever wore.
