Progressive candidate for governor, is
shown in the issue Of the morning
organ of these special interests de-
clared State Chairman James II. Clip
son this morning.
1T will be noticed that in the same
Issue Of that paper which defends
Governor Hawley for unconstitutional
and illegal expenditure Of hundreds OF
dollars OF the taxpayers money of the
state, there appears an article do
signed by the meanest and nastiest
kind Of insinuation to give the Inn
preston that Mr.. Martin is in some
manner connected with wrongful acts
Of certain McNicholas brothers.
"There is not single statement Of
fact In that article nor a single legiti-
mate inference to be drawn connecting
Mr.. Martin with any wrong doing that
these men may have done, even II they
have done any which does not appear
except the statement that grand jury
In Ohio returned an Indictment against
them. yet the purpose Of the article Is
to give the impression that In some
manner Mr.. Martin is involved.
"-The facts as narrated in that paper
itself are that Mr.. Martin and one Of
the McNicholas brothers are both in
terested in a mining company some-
where, place not named, and then the
statement is made that the McNicholas
brothers were indicted for the sale of
mining stock in Oregon and Idaho.
The only name of any mining property
mentioned is that of company in
Oregon.
"'The real animus and the real nasti-
ness of the morning organ is shown in
its further statement that in none of
the reports of the operations of the
McNicholas brothers, which 1t is claim
ed. resulted in their indictment, was
the name of any mining property in
volved mentioned, yet this paper de-
sires to give the impression that this
Idaho company in which Mr.. Martin
owns some stock and OF which it is al
legged he is secretary treasurer, MAY
have been one OF those companies.
1.-THE paper is forced to admit that
tn McNicholas brothers have not
been arrested although the alleged in
dictment was returned some time ago.

"There is not word in the story.
aside from the wilful and intentional
nastiness in bringing in Mr.. Martins
name, to connect him in any manner
whatsoever with any wrongdoing.
"And this comes from the same or

John NJ. Haines and his professional
promoter associates whereby they got

$125,000 in commissions and vastly
larger sum, as 1T appears, from
manipulation of stock sold to them
selves at low price without so much
as putting up a dollar and selling 4

manipulation and organization was
made the subjec. of investigation and
special report by the insurance de-
partments of Washington, Idaho and
Utah and the record they show Is suf-
