THREATS WERE USED
Anderson's Man Predicted PoIiti-
cal Death For Those Who
Wouldn't Sign Resolution.

The petition which James Anderson,
chairman of the board of county COM
missioners, caused to be circulated on
Friday among the state and county
officials, asking the United States SEN
ate to seat Apostle Reed SmoOt when
he presented his credentials, has, as
nearly as can be ascertained, been for
wardeSi to Washington.
Anderson yesterday tried to disclaim
credit for the whole affair. When
asked if an alleged reproduction of the
resolution was a copy of the original
he could not remember. Neither could
he state who sighed it. He did admit,
however, that he induced certain in
dividuals to sign the paper, but did not
mention their names.
When asked yesterday afternoon
where the instrument was, Chairman
Anderson refused to give a direct an
swer, but gave the impression--that it
had been forwarded to washington. To
whom it was sent and why it was for
warded-if it has benin such a hurry,
could not be ascertained.
When the petition was presented to
some of the county officials by Super
impaired the information that he had
been instructed by the chairman of
the board of county commissioners to
secure as many signatures as he. could.
The superintendent even went so far
as to inform some of those who did not
show an inclination at first to affix
their signatures that unless they com
piled with the demands Of the little
boss the influence of the powers that
be would be used to cause their pO-
litical death two years hence.
