He introduced and fought for the “one Mag” bill, which made it a crime to wear an I. W. W. button. He mys the radicals are fMogical and foolish, and he offers to prove it to them. Also, Coman wants it understood that he's not a politician. In fact, he dovan't like politicians, he says. He intimates that if he is elected, he'll kick the poliiteians out of the state house and run th te government just like he runs his bank-—on a@ purely business basin.
