HIS PEN
IN VITRIOL
judge GrindeIand's Seathing Memo
randum in Election Contest
Case

Ada, Mimi, Jan. 4-Judge Andrew
GrindeIand's decision in the Thompson
VS.. Flikkie election contest case Is &C
companied by memorandum in winch
he severely arraigns FIikkie, the con-
testee. Following is the text of the
memorandum:
When we take into consideration
that the contestant was president of
a bank and actively engaged in bank
ing business in the White Earth res
ervation, where large part of the in
habitants are persons of Indian blood,
and that in said reservation many
land transactions with the Indians
have been charged with fraud and are
being investigated by the United
States government, we are forced to
the conclusion that the insinuations
and innuendoes contained in para
graph four of exhibit "B' are serious
and material violations of the corrupt
practices act.
The insinuation was such that the
language used naturally tended to in
duce a belief that the contestant had
been guilty of disreputable practices
and was intended to create such be-
lief.
There is nothing in the evidence of
the contestee to warrant him in max
ing and publishing such insinuations.'
If a candidate can so attack his OPP
ponent with impunity the very object
of the corrupt practices act would fail.
It is evidence that the contestee had
but little, if any, respect for the said
act. Just before election contestee
goes into contestants county and
while electioneering and distributing
election cards treats voters to cigars
and soft drinks. He pretended to pub
lish a true quotation from The Mahno-
men Pioneer. the home paper of his
opponent. yet 1t appears from the EVIL
dence that the quotation was altered,
evidently to make it more effective
campaign material.
Upon due consideration Of the evi
dence and the circumstances appear
Ing upon the trial I am forced to the
conclusion that the acts were deliber-
ate serious and material.
