argument was devoted to a minute
history Of the Cunningham claims.
Ballinger's connection with the cases
was described in detail, the lawyer
branding the present secretary of the
interior as unfit for his place as trus-
tee for the people with every step.
"One of the main essentials of an
adequate secretary of the Interior" ="
he said, "is resoluteness, vigilance,
sturdiness to resist all aggression, in
sidious or otherwise. Is there not ex.

striking lack of just that quality?"
Brandeis concluded: This inves.

financially. 1t Is struggle to estab-
