WASHINGTON, April 10.-A bomo
will drop in the camp of the com0in-
atlon who are behind the persecution
of Senator Roach, of North Dakota.
When the hypoeritical old Senator
Hoar, of Massachusetts,, offered new
resolution in the Roach matter today he
did not know that within few hours a
man would arrive in Washington with
enough evidence 10 completely over
Whelm one of the Republican members
with whom that sanity pair, HOar and
Chandler. do not hesitate 10 associate.
This man arrived straight from North
Dakota this afternoon. His name Is
ind La Moure, of Pembina, ana he
brought with him grip sack full OF
afidavits. letters and other documents
which he proposes 10 lay before the
United States senate.

are getting very much AFRAID that oau

said, with grim smile. want ~

which rpsuItad in the election of SEN
ator Harsbrcugh. He has been men,
Der of so many Dakota legislatures that
the state house would not look familiar
during a session without him. He went
10 Dakota nearly thirty years ago, and
endured hardshipS and enjoyed pros
perity with the pioneers. He is a true
friend and a man who believes III a
square deal, and he is here to see that
Senator Roach gets it.
"When learned that the Republican
senators were manifesting a good deal
of curiosity about the ten Republicans
who voted for Senator Roach" said La
Moure. land that they wanted an IN
vestigation of the senatorial election
with view to uncOvering something
crooked. | made up my mind TO
come down. There have been a
good many crooked things in
North Dakota Republican politics
and | am prepared to show all about a
number OF corrupt deals. l am here to
show why North Dakota did not elect a
Republican to the United States senate,
why large element of the party pre-
ferred Senator Roach to the candidates
of the ring. and just who employed cor
rupt methods in that and the preceding
senatorial election"

La Moure, ''and l can come very near

gated by the senate, and l am going tO
see that Senator Ho2r and his fellow
Republicans who are prosecuting Sena-
tor Roach know a great many more
things about Mr.. HanSbrOugh."
Going back to the senatorial contest
of two years ago, Senator La Moure
produced the inside history of that
struggle in documentary form, and de
clared that in it are reasons for the i'm
mediale expulsion of Senator Hans

The fact that La MOure would be here
today was known in advance to Senator
German, with whom the Pembina states
man spent several hours this evening
showing a mass of evidence concerning
Senator Il. c. Hansbrough. In the las
campaign La Moure charges that Hans
bTOugh secured $1,000 from the Re
publican national committee, with which
he was to save North Dakota.
All evening La MOure was in close
conference with Senator German, tht
Democratic leader, and, while neither
cared to state the agreement reached
there is little doubt that tomorrow
morning the case Of Senator Hansbrougl
will be taken up by resolution and re-
ferred tor investigation to a commit

Power. In the case of the lat
