sizing up the people present, Mr..
LOTUS asked his friends to provide
stenographer who could furnish
transcript of the testimony. One of
the House stenographers was brought
to the room and took the testimony.
But soon after the meeting had ad-
journed this lady was instructed by
the chief clerk of the House not to
give Mr.. LOTUS transcript of the
testimony. All that Mr.. LOTUS
asked was copy of what was actually
said in The sworn testimony. The
refusal to allow this is an offense to
justice unprecedented in "courseness"
at least.
The significance of this unfairness
is given added meaning in view of the
fact that, at certain point in Mr..
LOTUS testimony where he was deal
ing out particularly heavy blow.
Chairman Peterson instructed the
committee stenographer not to take
down that part of the testimony
On the following afternoon the
Peterson committee met pursuant to
adjournment. Messrs. Lotus and
Manahan appeared with court
stenographer and Daniel w. Lawler
as attorney. This looked too much
like a square deal for the shippers
association and the committee pleaded
a previous engagement and fled.
The investigation has now developed
into an absolute farce, and were it
not for the issue back of it all, the
affair might also be characterized as
pathetic. But the real issue involved
gave the attack a serious aspect, one
that every thinking man in the state
should consider. On one side are
the special interests and on the other
the plain people, backed by such re-
form agencies as the shippers associa-
ton. The combines are fighting to
continue their control of the state,
and In order to gain that result they
must muzzle all such influences as
that OF George S. Lotus and the bust
ness men of Minnesota banded to-
gether as the Shippers and Receivers
association.
Why do the combines object to Mr..
Lotus and his work? Simply because
| the shippers association in it's politi-
Cal work stands for publicity and
publicity is the one thing that the
special interests do not want. The
dark and devious schemes of corrup-
ton cannot exist in daylight. That
is the issue.

came together in the center there
were thirteen wolves. Those with

then the dogs were turned on them.
During the fight, six out of the thir-

wolves. There are a great many
wolves left yet in the same territory
